Hello folks
Its me with another issue!
I just downloaded cios (again) on my old modded wii!
When i went into usbloadergx to play some backupped games, it said 'usb not initalized, switching to channel mode'
The usb is in the right place, and it worked before on this wii with this sd in usb adapter

I think its a very common issue and im that im just very dumb at this, any suggestions?

Make sure you're using USB port 0

Bc otherwise, he would wait at a hdd when the black loading screen appears

#

Now he knows there is a usb in the port

I have also tried wiiflow, but wiiflow only seems to regonize 1 of my games

Also:

Can you power down the Wii, connect the drive to your PC, then search in windows for cmd and press enter.
in the command prompt, type chkdsk x: but replace x with the letter for your drive.
then screenshot the output.

and do a chkdsk on it

But the drive is that metal thing that slurps cds right

#

Yes the optical disc drive is a drive

#

Your SD is also a drive

#

But like obviously I'm talking about the drive you're trying to get USB loader gx to read
