did d2x go inside an apps folder

languid kelp
#

yes

hidden sail
#

make sure there is no apps folder inside apps folder

#

When installing homebrew applications on your SD Card or USB drive, your folder structure should look like this:

💾 sd or usb:
┣ 📂 apps
┃ ┣ 📂 AppName1
┃ ┃ ┣ 📄 boot.dol / boot.elf
┃ ┃ ┣ 📄 icon.png
┃ ┃ ┗ 📄 meta.xml
┃ ┗ 📂AppName2
┃ ┃ ┣ 📄 boot.dol / boot.elf
┃ ┃ ┣ 📄 icon.png
┃ ┃ ┗ 📄 meta.xml

AppName1 and AppName2 are placeholder names.
Do not nest multiple apps folders inside the apps folder itself.

#

go inside the d2x folder

languid kelp
hidden sail
#

looks fine

#

press 1 in the homebrew channel and select the storage device youre using (usb or sd)

languid kelp
#

ok

#

lemme put sd card in wii rq

#

so im clicking internal sd slot

#

but nothing seems to happen

#

d2x is not here

hidden sail
#

is the sd card formatted to fat32

languid kelp
#

how do i check if it is

hidden sail
#

right click it in windows

languid kelp
#

then what

hidden sail
#

see if it says fat32

languid kelp
hidden sail
#

properties

languid kelp
#

i right clicked on it

#

im using a usb drive to connect sd card to c

#

pc

#

cuz i got a micro one

#

and im using adapter for micro sd card for wii

#

is the d2x installer inside of wii mod lite

hidden sail
#

go to disk management, right click the card > properties > volume

languid kelp
#

or should it show up on homebrew

hidden sail
#

see it it says MBR (master boot record)

hidden sail
languid kelp
#

where is disk management

#

k

hidden sail
#

press windows + x and select disk management

languid kelp
#

where is volume

hidden sail
#

did you right click it

#

then went to properties

languid kelp
#

yes

hidden sail
#

open command prompt and type diskpart

#

then list disk

#

see if GPT has an asterisk next to the sd card

languid kelp
#

disk 1 is the sd card

hidden sail
#

hmm all looks fine

languid kelp
#

Im confused on why d2x isnt showing up on homebrew

#

lemme ask @round reef

#

he was helping me the other days too

#

So if u in dis chat im trying to update prii loader

#

and trying to get access to wii shop also

#

and i have outdated cIOS

#

and trying to update or get rid of em

#

i downloaded d2x

#

but it aint showing up on hbc

#

and i have nus downloader too but idk what do

#

#

@inland timber

#

sorry if im bothering

#

but as u can read on top

#

i need to find solution

#

i have nus downloader

#

on pc

#

but idk what to do

hidden sail
#

tldr
d2x isnt showing up despite the structure and device format being correct

round reef
#

are we sure the boot.dol ain't corrupt

wheat schooner
languid kelp
#

how do i check if its corrupt

wheat schooner
#

If that were the case the app wouldn’t start

languid kelp
#

cuz we may never know

#

ahh

#

i see

round reef
#

just in case, try to redownload it

wheat schooner
round reef
#

do a full restart of the wii

languid kelp
#

ok

round reef
#

you could also use wiiload though idk if that's a proper method to do it

wheat schooner
#

I don’t know what the fuck that is and it doesn’t matter because that’s not his problem

languid kelp
#

i did restart

#

nothing changed

wheat schooner
#

Send a screenshot of your app structure

languid kelp
#

how do i find that

inland timber
# languid kelp how do i find that

When you install homebrew applications on your SD Card or USB HDD, it's important to organize your folders properly for optimal functionality. Here's an informative guide on how your folder structure should look:

💾 SD or USB HDD:
┣ 📂 apps
┃ ┣ 📂 AppName1
┃ ┃ ┣ 📄 boot.dol / boot.elf
┃ ┃ ┣ 📄 icon.png
┃ ┃ ┗ 📄 meta.xml
┃ ┣ 📂 AppName2
┃ ┃ ┣ 📄 boot.dol / boot.elf
┃ ┃ ┣ 📄 icon.png
┃ ┃ ┗ 📄 meta.xml

⚠️ Please note the following important details:

  • The apps folder serves as the main directory for your homebrew applications.
  • Do not nest multiple apps folders inside the apps folder itself.

For a more visual demonstration, you can watch this informative video showcasing examples of various homebrew apps and providing step-by-step instructions on how to extract and place them correctly within the apps folder.

wheat schooner

I have a better idea

hidden sail
wheat schooner
#

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.

Looking to verify that no issues are found and that you have
32kb (32768 bytes) or 64kb (65536 bytes) in each allocation unit.

If you have a different allocation unit size backup your data and reformat to FAT32 with the correct allocation unit size.

inland timber
wheat schooner

Too many things going on

hidden sail

xd

languid kelp
#

ong

inland timber
wheat schooner
#

languid kelp
wheat schooner
languid kelp

wheat schooner
#

Fuq is that brand name

languid kelp
#

its a micro sd card

#

and i use a sandisk adapter for it

wheat schooner
#

Adapter don’t matter, it’s probably because it’s a shitty brand

languid kelp
#

but it has been working very well

weird tho

plus

#

ive downloaded

riiconnect24 patcher

im still thinking its an sd card issue

languid kelp
#

i dont think so

#

cuz listen

#

i have used for lots of time rn

#

we checked it too

#

and it was very good

#

there were no issues to it

hidden sail
#

apps just dont disappear when adding another one in

languid kelp
#

i bet it had to do smth wit d2x

#

when i downloaded d2x some of my apps dissapeared

#

then when i removed it

#

everything went to normal

#

then when i reiinstalled kt

#

it created an apps folder inside the apps folder with d2x

#

i removed it and it still hasnt fixed the issue

hidden sail
#

i never had any of these problems with d2x

#

installing it from osc or manually

languid kelp
#

dang

#

should we try asking someone else

hidden sail
#

idk

languid kelp
#

@tawny tide

#

hidden sail
#

d2x is being funny and makes other apps disappear when putting it on the sd card, but goes back to normal when its gone

languid kelp
#

#

wheat schooner
languid kelp
#

yeah it wasnt happening at all til now

#

but wait a sec

#

i think ik what the problem is

wheat schooner
#

Honestly get a better brand

languid kelp
#

When i reinstalled d2x again i extract it to apps folder

#

which created another apps folder inside the apps folder

#

when i opened hbc everything was gone

wheat schooner
#

Just because it worked before doesn’t mean it will last you a long time

languid kelp
#

when i unistalled d2x and removed the apps folder inside of the apps folder

wheat schooner
#

4gb is kind of small anyway

languid kelp
#

same prob

#

#

4gb is enough for what ive got so far in my wii

You could try blowing on the SD slot in the Wii but I doubt that’s the issue
