Being kicked out back to homebrew channel when starting any game with USB downloader GX

[late elbow]

I have installed the cIOS and USB downloader gx as stated in the guides, I have them on a SD card, and I have two games on a external USB HDD. Both the card and the disk are formatted with FAT32, and the two games I have there are detected by USB downloader, but the moment I click on them and then on "start", I get kicked back to the homebrew channel. Anybody has an idea on what might be happening?

You might installed the cios wrong

I repeated the procedure yesterday, and there were no errors/messages about something being wrong

1 update the homebrew channel 2 make another system check because the one that you sent is from 2012

1. Get the Hackmii installer here: https://bootmii.org/download/ Extract the .zip file, copy the HackMii Installer folder to your apps folder. You can make a folder called apps if it does not exist already. Then run the HackMii Installer via the homebrew channel to update the homebrew channel to 1.1.2

2. Install Priiloader: https://wii.guide/priiloader

You also have some old cios that probably should be deleted.

Get Wii mod lite https://wii.guide/wiimodlite Extract it and put it in your apps folder on the SD, launch it on the Wii, select iOS, delete slots 202,222,223,224, and 236

I have generated that sys check literally 2 minutes before I posted it

@hollow radish I have just executed the steps you prescribed. Nothing went wrong, as far as I can tell, but I am still getting back to the homebrew channel when starting a game 😕

Then there's a problem with the games, show me how your games are structured in the wbfs and games folder

[late elbow]

/wbfs/<title set by me> [<id from gametdb>]/[<id from gametdb>].wbfs

my games were originally stored as rvz, I converted them to ISO, and from that wbfs

[hollow radish]

.rvz, is this a gamecube game?

[late elbow]

In dolphin both appear as Wii on the side

[hollow radish]

Delete the game and get it from here instead

[late elbow]

I will try it 🙂 Thank you very much for your help!

[hollow radish]

NP, btw

For Wii games, just get the .wbfs files itself

And

For GameCube games, get .rvz then convert it to .iso using dolphin

Here is what the folder structure should look like for game loading:
💾SD/USB:
┣ 📂wbfs
┃ ┣ 📂GameName [gameID]
┃ ┃ ┗ 📜gameid.wbfs
┃ ┗ 📂GameName [gameID] --This example is for split wbfs files, if you are on ntfs or your game is smaller than 4gb, ignore it
┃ ┣ 📜gameid.wbfs
┃ ┗ 📜gameid.wbf1
┗ 📂games
┣ 📂GameName [gameID]
┃ ┗ 📜game.iso --note: this is LITERALLY game.iso, not the name of the game, or the game id, just game
┗ 📂GameName [gameID] --This example is for multi disc games
┣ 📜game.iso
┗ 📜disc2.iso

Note: the WBFS folder is for WII GAMES ONLY and the Games folder is for GAMECUBE GAMES ONLY

get the game IDs here: https://www.gametdb.com/

For Wii games you can just use any of the programs found on this page as an easier alternative to manually creating the folder structure: https://wii.guide/wiibackupmanager

Thank you very much: all works. you were right, seems the games were not ok

just the last question: do you know if it possible at all to play these old games like super mario, with a resolution setting that looks nice with today's tv?
