USB Loader GX is getting modified all the time. You're best linking to the revisions page instead of linking directly to the most recent version.

Someone could probably explain it better than me, but the program uLoader can run some things that USB Loader GX can't. It might be worth mentioning to use that (along with the custom modified 222 & 223 cios) if something isn't playing back properly off of USB Loader GX.

Keito posted:Why do people keep talking about installing ISOs through the wbfs managers instead of just copying their discs? It's too much of a hassle to bother with? A 3GB game takes about 10 minutes to install, so I'd rather do that than spending several hours downloading The "ripping" of game discs takes a long time and can fail in the middle. Some people's drives are better than others. Also, there is a backup tool which is MUCH faster and dumps the ISO to the SD card. You can take that ISO and use it on your PC.

This is a stupid question, but what's the most updated WAD installer? I want to install the channel forwarder for USB Loader GX and the WAD installer I used to get to 4.0 (the one that installs to CIOS 249) is giving me errors.

Is there a trick to getting MPlayer CE working with an external USB hard drive? I've got a Fat32-formatted WD Passport drive that I'm trying to get MPCE to recognize, but every time I try to open a file from "Wii USB", I get a crash OR a "USB device not mounted" error message.Hamelin posted:Yeah, the trucha bug is required if you want to install anything with the wad manager.

Thanks, oh well will have to use the disc whenever I want to use the DLC and whatnot, I guess. Strangely, something like that also happened when I booted it from the disc form GeckoOS, complete with error in the SD card copying.

One of the things that always bugged me about the homebrew channel was how it put things in alphabetical order. Okay, it makes a lot of sense to do it that way, but I'd rather have programs I run regularly show up first. I found out it takes leading spaces into account when sorting alphabetically so a meta.xml file saying the program's name is " Z" would come before one named "A". So I threw together something in Python to let you organize it. It puts leading spaces on every program. The only downside to this is that the HBC will display all those leading spaces which can lead to long titles with lots of spaces getting cut off, but I think it's worth it. If you want to run it download Python and just save the code below as a .py file and run it. It's simple enough to use, though not the most user friendly program. Code: http://pastebin.com/f4d078e6c Just replace the line xmlfiles = glob.glob("F:\\apps\\*\\meta.xml") with the correct drive letter. If there's interest I can clean it up a bit.

I know it sounds silly but I have my (and all my friend's) Wii's loading USB Loader GX immediately (thanks to PreLoader) and getting back to the original Wii menu requires turning off the Wii, getting PreLoader up, and loading it from there (which is apparently confusing to my friends). If there was just an app that loaded the Wii menu that would be so simple yet so great for me and a lot of people. Any advice?

Is there any reason to bring IOS36 back to having no trucha bug? As for why you're modifying IOS36, it's because IOS36 is the only IOS used by some older homebrew software. And once you get the Trucha bug back into IOS36 (via IOS15), you don't have to restore it. Got it?  Because I'm not sure I completely do

Pressing 'home' then 'wii menu' works for me, I have it set up exactly the same as you. Maybe it was added in recently? I've just updated to rev711.

I have also found out by accident that you can order the homebrew apps in USB Loader GX by creating subfolders. (e.g. putting four of the apps in SD:\apps\!Page1\ instead of just SD:\apps\ will make those four show up on the first page.) The downside is that they don't show up at all in the HBC. Also, the 'leading spaces' trick that order them in the HBC don't work in USBL-GX

Well, this time I think I may have hosed up for good. I was fiddling around with installing new homebrew apps that looked interesting, and my Wii now won't load up the system menu. Trying to leave from the homebrew channel and it'll freeze and not load up the menu. If I restart, it'll freeze up at the health and safety screen. Well, no problem right? I installed preloader, this kind of mess is what it's for right? Preloader isn't loading up. I had it set so it would only load up when I hold down the reset button and...It won't come up. It just goes straight to the health and safety screen. I've used it plenty, even recently, I don't understand why it isn't coming up. Is there any way to get it working again? Even if I could send it to Nintendo without worrying about its modded state, I really don't have the free cash at the moment to pay for it, and it's long over warranty. Please tell me I have a way out.

Sad Panda posted:You have BootMii installed.. right? No I didn't, and that's why I'm kicking myself. It seemed like opinion in the thread when bootmii first came out was that there wasn't enough reason to install it just yet, and I knew preloader would help me out if I got in a jam. But, as a test with my friend has just shown, looks like even the homebrew updater to 4.1 removes Preloader. Great. Well, it's my own shortsightedness that screwed myself over, so I guess I'll just have to deal.

If you can get to the Homebrew channel then you're fine. Just reinstall Preloader. Not exactly sure how that could be possible without preloader, but your original post made it sound like you could.

I realize my wording was pretty poor, it sounded like getting out of homebrew channel into the system menu was a repeatedly tested thing. Lord knows I'd love to get into the channel, since at least then I could back up my saves and such.

Bummer. I hate to say it, but you look completely boned. I would google some more if I were you, but without bootmii everything I am seeing points to your system being hosed. Nintendo WILL fix your wii, mind you. It is just going to cost. At least 80 bucks, not including shipping. I'm sure they hate doing it, but I am not seeing broken Wiis on ebay for much cheaper. Buying one of those to swap motherboards is risky, and Nintendo can probably restore your system menu without compromising your saves. Just don't expect to see the homebrew channel on there when it comes back. Hopefully someone else around here may have more information for you.

You could possibly boot a recovery disc using SaveMiiFree, or perhaps autobooting a recovery disc would work with a softmod?. Either way, to try you will need to butcher a gamecube controller.

Is BootMii and the NAND backup something you have to do before installing the homebrew and doing some cios36 stuff? You guys are scaring me now but I wonder if I can just do bootmii and a backup now even after all the crap I've done.

Ideally you want a clean version to revert to, but if your Wii is working at the moment with the stuff you have on there then that is certainly better to have as a backup than no backup at all.

Just to be clear - if I was to remove any channels/wads, wipe my SD card and let the Wii patch up to whatever the latest is, 4.0 or such, Preloader would be gone and I'd then be bannerbombing on an effectively virgin system, correct? (apparently my black-screen-on-homebrew-update is a glitch I can only clear by clearing then re-modding the system, meh... though I suppose I ought to anyways, since I'm still running on 3.2u with no BootMii)

Nintendo whets your equestrian appetite with new controller. *Nintendo has registered Horseback Riding Controller for patent protection in US, which is an inflatable seat with a pocket for the Wii Remote, and player holds the nunchuk to simulate holding the reins. Source: the-magicbox.com Of course this is just one of the thousands of sex peripherals converted for US market.

LU64s are more volatile, though. They brick more easily when messing with firmware stuff. Be sure to install Bootmii and do a backup beforehand.

I was under the impression that the new LU64+ Wiis have the new boot2 which means you have to install BootMii as an IOS, making it useless in case of a brick.
