Yeah, the Wii's usb ports are stupid in that only the 'outside' one seems to work for portable drives and stuff.

So I just bought 2 black classic controllers to use with the snes9xgx emulator. Unfortunately while they work with my wii games they're not working on the emulator. I did some research and the only reason I found that they wouldn't be working is if they're 3rd party controllers which these are not. They are however the black ones, which I guess is the Japanese version. Does anybody know if that's what would be causing them not to work, and perhaps have a workaround? Any help would be greatly appreciated because I bought these specifically to use with the emulator, and need to find out if I should be sending them back.

Question about streaming using mplayer, I set up everything using vlc and mplayer so I could stream to it over my network, the only problem I'm having is setting up the transcoding options so that it doesn't stutter. What is the best video and audio codec and what bit rate should I stream a?

I have a black Classic Controller Pro that I imported, so it's the japanese model, and it works fine with SNES9XGX. Before I bought it, I had used a NA model "Original" classic controller, and it worked as well. I'm not sure what your problem could be. If they work with everything else BUT the emulator, then that's really strange.

What I'm starting to question is whether the controllers I got are legit. They were supposed to be new but when they came neither of them were in their own box. They were just placed in the box they were shipped in with some packing material. I tried looking for up close shots of the controllers through google but I haven't had any luck. Is there any way to tell whether they're knock offs or not?

Keito posted:No, actually one of the ports usually doesn't work with hard drives and the like. I am pretty sure in an early rev of cios38 that either port worked just fine for USB HD's, but rockband stuff did not work at all. I think at rev12 they changed it. Port 1 was for official usb peripherals and port 0 was for HD's only. So yeah thats why if anybody was wondering. Nintendo did not even intend for USB hard drives or any high-speed USB device to work on the Wii. By default the ports operate in USB 1.1 mode. What is neat is the IOS had usb 2.0 drivers so somebody tweaked it so they would operate in the faster EHCI mode. It is still not perfect and performance is limited to about 4 MB/sec but thats plenty fast to load backups.

So it looks like Wii Exclusive game The Grinder is no longer a Wii Exclusive. http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/62250 I'm glad they recognized how poorly games with mature themes were selling on the Wii and are making the move to increase their profit margin, but with the release schedule pushed back to Halloween 2011, it's anyones guess whether or not people will still be playing on current gen consoles over the brand new virtual reality sensory deprivation tanks we'll probably have by that time. Quite the gamble.

That's amazing. As for the classic controller pro, I ordered one form amazon around x-mas. I think it's actually designed for larger handed people, as there are some solid grips on that thing. That aside, having actually usable LZ/RZ buttons is pretty cool, as is essentially having a playstation controller with a classic style d-pad.

I bought a black Wii nunchuck on ebay and it was bootleg. It was incredibly hard to tell from the packaging and the nunchuck itself but it operated like poo poo. I then noticed small differences (visually) between the physical nunchuck and one my brother got from Best Buy. I seriously can't believe people bootleg poo poo that costs $15.

About a year ago I set up my girlfriend's Wii for a USB loader and all the rest, but apparently her little sister just updated the Wii so its not working now. Whats the quickest way to re-do everything? Should I follow the latest guide or can I undo the update?

Ya I kinda noticed with these controllers too that they just feel cheap. The buttons don't seem to have much "bounce" to them, if that's the proper word to use. Either way though I've already contacted the seller and they e-mailed me a UPS label to ship it back for a full refund, so I'm happy.

So is the OP severely outdated and this LU64/65 thing doesn't matter anymore? I was looking around on a few different sites and I didn't see anything mentioning it as a factor for homebrew.

So I haven't touched my USB Loader in a few days, just went to play something, and uh, nothing's loading. I mean GX boots up just fine, recognizes my drive just fine, shows all my games just fine, but when I start up a game it goes black and nothing happens. I've tried multiple games, all my games were set up correctly, I even uninstalled and reinstalled both 249 and 250 and tried them both. Nothing is fixing it. I've not changed anything since last time, not done any updates, and really have no idea where to go from here, everything else works fine. Any ideas?

So after reading the OP and finally getting a Wii a week or so ago, I'm psyched to try out the NES/SNES/Genesis emulators on it, but according to the OP, I might not. My Wii's serial number begins with LU73 and since I went online and updated it a few days ago, my Wii software version is 4.2U. Am I hosed?

I'm not sure how many games the last owner of this Wii played, but there's a loooot of saved game data. Not that I need the space, it's just that I sometimes grab savegames off the net and like to be able to find my games easily... That, and it's a sort of clutter I don't like. Is there a way to bulk delete saves without formatting the system?

You just can't downgrade without risking a brick, and even then, there's no reason to downgrade nowadays since all homebrew stuff worth its while has been updated to work since then.

Maybe backup your saves (and use Startpatch for those pesky saves that won't let you copy), format Wii, then copy them all back (again with Startpatch enabled)?

Or perhaps the game rips went bad? Try deleting a game and re-ripping it and see if it makes a difference. And check if they play the "intro" music when you look at them in USB Loader GX with Fast Boot turned off, if they don't play, it's probably a bad rip.

Before that, it gave me a "FDS BIOS not found!" message even though I'm trying to play NES games, not FDS games, and when I found the correct 8KB BIOS file, and put it in the correct place, not I'm getting the above error.

Well a reformat seemed to fix the problem, but as far as I know I didn't do anything that would fuss up the partition in the first place. Guess I should look into a new drive soon.

I never mentioned this before, but does anyone notice input lag on the SNES emulator? It bugs the hell out of me when I play DKC or Super Mario Bros and I have to do my jumps a little earlier. Did this get fixed in a new version or something? I don't think it's the controller since I didn't notice this happening in FCEU.

I wouldn't worry too much about it. Wii homebrew has an odd tendency to to be finicky for little reason. GX especially. Sometimes updating that thing will result in all of my games no loading (blackscreen freeze) until I reconnect the drive and drive. Only needed to format once because I was using a severely outdated version of LoaderGX, and installed my games through that, but haven't had any problems that couldn't be fixed by a reboot/reconnect. If your's are more severe then it may be more of a compatibility issue than your drive failing.
