idk which ones i need to update
just someone told me that they are outdated
https://wii.guide/cios
and delete ios202, 222, 223, 224, 236, 245, 246 and 247 with wii mod lite or the d2x map
no xd
its ok
those are not needed
yes
aight
to the root of the sd card
OK i just extracted imma turn on wii and put sd card
what do i do now
im on homebrew
@hidden sail
open the installer
did d2x go inside an apps folder
yes
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
looks fine
press 1 in the homebrew channel and select the storage device youre using (usb or sd)
ok
lemme put sd card in wii rq
so im clicking internal sd slot
but nothing seems to happen
d2x is not here
is the sd card formatted to fat32
how do i check if it is
right click it in windows
then what
see if it says fat32
properties
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
go to disk management, right click the card > properties > volume
or should it show up on homebrew
see it it says MBR (master boot record)
it shows up on hbc
press windows + x and select disk management
open command prompt and type diskpart
then list disk
see if GPT has an asterisk next to the sd card
hmm all looks fine
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and i have outdated cIOS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
on my pc i mean
do yknow wat the problem might be
@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
tldr
d2x isnt showing up despite the structure and device format being correct
are we sure the boot.dol ain't corrupt
Unlikely
how do i check if its corrupt
If that were the case the app wouldn’t start
just in case, try to redownload it
It’s not
do a full restart of the wii
ok
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
Send a screenshot of your app structure
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
appsfolder serves as the main directory for your homebrew applications. - Do not nest multiple
appsfolders inside theappsfolder 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.
Windows file explorer
.
Make sure that your write protect slider is in the up position like in this image https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/764412292262658069/978284069207027712/unknown.png
wiiload is a way to send .dol files to the Wii over internet and execute them
Anyways I was going to head to sleep so, gl with that one
oof i didnt even think of the lock slider
@wheat schooner yes it is like that
Do you have internet on your Wii
So the app doesn’t show up at all on homebrew channel?
nope
Press 1 and select the device the app is on
Just curious, what does the whole file path look like?
In homebrew channel yes
does your sd card even get recognized by the wii menu
SD is selected?
yep
Your sd card is FAT32 with the partition style MBR and a 32kb cluster size?
Return to Wii menu and select the SD card icon
yes
You should try and download another HBC app to see if the new app appears
i pressed sd icon @wheat schooner
Was there a popup that said sd cannot be used
Or something like that
no
all there is are a bunch of channels
internet channel and today and tmrw channel
Download a different app to see if it also doesn't show up
what app
Any just a random one
I have a better idea
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.
Too many things going on
xd
ong
I wonder if the sd card locked itself lol
Can we check for corruptions first with the chkdsk
Spelled wrong
Yeah it’s like “check disk” but shortened
X D
what
Shitass
lol
What brand of SD
Fuq is that brand name
Adapter don’t matter, it’s probably because it’s a shitty brand
but it has been working very well
ive downloaded plenty of apps before
and its greay
great
weird tho
plus
ive downloaded
riiconnect24 patcher
wimmfi patcher
and wii mod lite on it
and it worked perfectly fine
maybe there is a problem with the program?
Do other apps show up?
I guess just delete and reinstall
k
Do you have the homebrew browser
Get the cios installer from there
k
lemme turn on wii
the d2x one?
wait what
i had hbc browser
now it isnt there anymore
@wheat schooner
@inland timber @wheat schooner
for some reason
as soon as i deleted d2x installer
all of my other apps appeared on hbc
Wat
hbc browser wasnt showing up
when i removed d2x
it suddenly appeared
what section in hbc browser is the cIOS downloader
utilities
wtf
i was scrolling through utilites
imma go back on it
@wheat schooner the name of the cIOS on hbc browser its just d3x or smth elze?
else*
it happend again
Do you have any usbs plugged in
yes
Unplug them
Then in hbb settings disable usb mounting
Press the home button
ok
all i see is
Back
About
Launch BootMii
Exit to system menu
Shutdown
thats it
I said homebrew browser settings
Not homebrew channel
ahhh mb
ok i disabled usb mounting
now whats the name in hbc browser of the cIOS installer
is it d2x?
should say d2x cios installer
Hold power button down
5 seconds
ok it shutted down
so what do i do to fix
the bug
i got no usb connected
@wheat schooner @hidden sail @inland timber
Did you download the cios installer
Then just download it from a pc
i got the bug again
ok
guess ill just reinstall
ok
i just exctract the file
on the sd card
inside the apps file
bruh
now nothing appears on my homebrew anymore
@wheat schooner @hidden sail @inland timber
nothing appears on hbc
even tho i unistalled d2x
my wii is going to fucking blow
i feel like your sd card just sucks
i have used this sd card for so long
it has been very well
and it isnt some knockoff chinese brand
its a good one too
everything seems very normal
apacer
f
imma retry opening my wii again
nope nothing else anymore
welp my wii is gonna fucking blow
im still thinking its an sd card issue
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
apps just dont disappear when adding another one in
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
idk
d2x is being funny and makes other apps disappear when putting it on the sd card, but goes back to normal when its gone
or @inland timber
and it doesnt even show up itself
will nus do anything or nah
any other cmd prompt i could use to check the sd card
@wheat schooner u there?
This is what I was trying to say earlier
yeah it wasnt happening at all til now
but wait a sec
i think ik what the problem is
Honestly get a better brand
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
Just because it worked before doesn’t mean it will last you a long time
when i unistalled d2x and removed the apps folder inside of the apps folder
4gb is kind of small anyway
You could try blowing on the SD slot in the Wii but I doubt that’s the issue
lol
ill try
im turning on wii now
lets see if anything happend
wait no way
HOLY SHIT
everything is back
@wheat schooner
lmao
wtf
ig a simple blow fixes everything
do i try downloading d2x again on pc?
imma give hbc browser one last go
nvm
i got the same bug
i installed through pc again
@wheat schooner
i got d2x installer
its there
@hidden sail
i saw
Can’t believe that fucking worked
what do i do in it now
yes
so what do i do
overwrite it
A
ok i clicked A on 200
it says tcp_connect time out
nvm
its going
just gotta be patient
did you even like select the revisions and stuff
what revisions
ok so you didnt select them
am i f'ed?
i gtg
k
but if you read the guide closely you should in theory not have problems
its ok
@tawny tide
u there?
@wheat schooner
when i was doing final step
while downloading
it said
net_gethostbyname failed: -125
its still going
but first time i noticed this message
@wheat schooner
i did all the steps in the guide
but it still says slot 251 will be overwritten
That’s an internet connection failure
Are you sure your Wii is connected to the internet
yep
should i exit d2x to check
or should i reinstall base 58
@wheat schooner
im checking if im connected to internet
yep im connected
i even tested it
@wheat schooner what now
So basically
i followed the guide
and downloaded everything from nus downloadrr
downloader
Which cioses succeeded
and i located all the wad files but idk where to place them
???

You have to update it yourself
By getting the latest priiloader installer
