So I have everything I want working pretty well except I cannot load homebrew apps from usb hdd.

I made a wbfs partition as the first primary partition (as I think I heard this needs to be the first partition?), and fat32 as the second partition, but even with the same folders as sd card the homebrew channel wont display any apps from usb hdd (I dont have a sd card inserted when I am trying this, aparently they dont work together).

I am using version 1.0.3 of the homebrew channel which apparently supports loading from usb hdd, any idea why it isn't working (the fat32 partition is 46 gig if that matters?)

Two things: You are better off making the fat32 partition the first one. Some homebrew can only see the first partition, but the USB loaders can use any partition. Also, make sure ALL your partitions are PRIMARY and ACTIVE.

Make sure you download the Japanese wad files, otherwise you can brick your wii. Are you trying to make it a USA Wii? It can be done, but it's a little dangerous.

WOAH! Re-read. He has a US Wii, but he is using it in Japan. He wants the NORTH AMERICAN (NA) updates, not J or E. Unless of course he is trying to change regions, which is something of a different process.

EDIT: If he simply does an online update he should be fine. The Wii (should) download and update according to the region of the Wii, not according to the IP/location.

Yes, the Wii doesn't magically download a different update based on your IP address. I was assuming he was asking something else.

So, I used the BannerBomb/HackMii method to install the HB Channel, but I'm not sure if/how to install BootMii.

And this seems important because I seem to need BootMii installed to get the HDD Loader working and when I tried to install cIOS38 it simply failed on me, suggesting to me that I should install BootMii as a IOS.

Any help would be great.

I'm on 4.1e

No, I thought you needed the BootMii IOS installed to get the Cios installed. Being frank, I'm only doing it such that I can get the HDD Loader working.

Edit: Ok, I give up. cIOS Installer is spiting up a 2011 error in my face and everything I read suggests that it's because I have Firmware 4.1

Yeah but this is the turning point, after Nintendo catches wind of this. Will they finally kill homebrew forever to crack down on the "competition," or respect this kind of talented hobbyist production and formally ease off?

BREAKING WIIRECIPE NEWS: It hasn't been announced on the Wiki page yet but through some perusal of the source code I can confirm that A recipe for meatloaf has been added to the application (and is either currently or will very soon be functional) and is designed to display when LEFT is pushed on the Wiimote.

This hot new scoop is exclusive to SA, remember when Kotaku picks this up that you heard it here first.

Well, after a bit of this and that (and making GBS threads myself over black screens (incidentally, is there an installer for DVDX that doesn't poo poo itself with the GX Loader compatible Cios?)) I got GX Loader on my Wii.

Now to find a Hard Drive that I can actually use.

Yep, just load the drive, select the game, then hit "extract iso."

Or, better yet, plug both of the drives in, the select "Drive-to-drive" in WBFS manager, load your old one in the first normal way, then your new one in the section that appeared below. Then select the game and then "copy to this drive."

I was coming to post this. However there is an error in the code such that it will print a recipe for meatloaf and then you can use a cheat code to see a recipe for meatloaf made from Tortilla Chips, Refried Beans, jalapeno peppers, salsa, Ground Beef, guacamole, salt and pepper, Cilantron(sic).

Has anyone used this helpful app yet? Without it I would have never known to put "beef chicken" in my burrito, and that A1 Steak Sauce was optional in a hamburger.

EDIT: Wait. Is it just me or does wait_anyKey() return immediately if you don't let go of the DPAD between the time the recipe starts printing and when it finishes printing? This would cause it to trigger burritos infinitely as long as you hold down.

So I didn't update the Wii because of the bannerbomb hack that I had done when I upgraded to 4.0 - will updating with MP Trilogy disc make everything else I've done up to this point not work, and will I have to reload all those custom IOS files to make sure that all my wiibrew works?

What exactly are you doing with your wii? Are you just running basic homebrew or are you running backups via hard drive/discs?

If you're just running basic homebrew, you're fine with updating. If you're doing more than that, use waninkoko's safe 4.1 updater.

So you're running this off a disc and not a USB Loader? Okay, you should install Preloader. There's a hack that prevents the upgrade from happening.

Well after searching around and trying to load preloader (couldn't get that to work) I ran it off of the disc by loading up Gecko192 through HBC. That seemed to work just fine.

Hey. I just took the plunge and am greatly enjoying my expanded Wii, but I'm a bit confused as to what I should do with my VC and Wiiware.
I followed instructions to rename their folder, but now its all set up is the 'private' folder safe to use again as long as I keep the new folders there? Can I just plop my stuff back in around it and access my purchased stuff from the SD menu?

I'm trying unsuccessfully to get USB Loader GX to work. I've installed cIOS38 (rev 14). When I try to open USB Loader through HBC the initial dialogue box pops up with the description of the app, but when I click on "Load" the orange load status bar pops up and goes to 100% right before the screen goes black, the Wii freezes and controller immediately turns off. Anyone know what's up? Do I need to install the Trucha Bug Restorer or something? I'm thinking I might be doing something really stupid and that there's an easy fix.

You probably need to run Trucha Bug Restorer on IOS 36 in order to install Preloader.
