USB GX Loader not properly loading WBFS files </3

[thorn ridge]

Hey! I've been having issues with loading my Mario Kart Wii wbfs file w/ the USB GX loader. It's the silly lil situation where you load the game, and it gives you a black screen before booting you back to the homebrew menu. I've tried messing with the game ISO under game load, switching it from custom ISO 249, 250, 251. All of those result in the same issue. I've tested the WBFS file on dolphin, and it works just fine, so its not a disc issue I hope. All of the instructions I've followed in regards to installing cIOS and USB GX Loader were followed using the wii.guide site, so I believe I'm using the most up-to-date software. I saw in previous threads that a syscheck is preferred to get help with these situations, so attached is the file I got from doing the syscheck on my current wii.
Appreciate any help given! I just want to play my silly lil mario kart game alternatively without having to use my scratched up disc
EDIT: I should probs clarify, I'm using a microSD to SD converter. The microSD is FAT32, with 4GB on it.

uh

perhaps the sd card isnt rated for the proper speeds

and is therefore really bad at loading games off of

[thorn ridge]

it may be possible, how would you be able to check?

i should also mention, the microSD was previously my 3ds's old main card that came with the console, just repurposed for wii modding now that a higher storage was swapped out

This can be resolved now ^^ I figured out how to load it up via WiiFlow w/ some adjustments [Switching the ISO to 250 ]

Thanks for attaching a syscheck. Cios is fine. Typically this may be due to how you structured your games, which checks out because Wiiflow has been known to ignore file structure

[thorn ridge]

thats good to know! the guide was a bit vague on how to structure the file structure so i was kinda guessing & using old reddit forums 💀 thanks for letting me know

For reference, here’s some programs that do it for you. And also a visual diagram of how they should be structured.

Use Wii Backup Manager to convert/split/transfer your Wii games to your SD/USB
Use GameCube Backup Manager to transfer your GameCube games to your SD/USB

Otherwise, if you don’t have a windows PC, structure your Wii and GameCube games like this:

💾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 or 📜game.ciso --note: this is LITERALLY game, not the name of the game, or the game id, just game
   ┗ 📂GameName [gameID] --This example is for multi disc games
     ┣ 📜game.iso or 📜game.ciso
     ┗ 📜disc2.iso or 📜disc2.ciso
```Note: the `WBFS` folder is for __WII GAMES ONLY__ and the `Games` folder is for __GAMECUBE GAMES ONLY__
