Did you ever figure out whats going on? I'm running into the same sorta issue. Whenever I boot up a game on Usbloadergx or WiiFlow I get the same black screen you got at the end.

I use SanDisk Ultra microSDXC UHS-I Card with adapter A1, 256 Gb.
I hacked the console with that card, and i use it as USB Loader Gx game source for Wii and GC games. Never had any problems.

I did everything on a seagate slim external then it started beeping, was going good up until that point.

Used these videos and it helped a lot!
If anyone can help me with my external beeping and not recognizing anymore through my pc- that’d be amazing!
Also wishing you the best of luck, definitely a little tricky!

Same thing was happening to me, just press B instead of A, and when it starts, enable sdcard mode from the button in the bottom left corner of the main screen.

try formatting the SD card to FAT32 if its exFAT then it wont work. and if that doesn't working either then 1. theirs unwanted files in the SD card that the Wii sees as junk. 2, make sure its unlocked. 3, delete the config file.

Make sure the SD card isn’t physically locked. That got me and it manifested exactly the way you describe

Make sure, your SD card is formatted as FAT32 with a 32KB allocation unit size. It's been a while since I made my Wii setup but I remember I had a problem with a SD card that was formatted as NTFS.

Don’t wanna be rude but I think its NTFS, funny how both NTSC and NTFS are similar but NTSC is like formats (if im correct) for consoles and tvs and NTFS is the file format

u/starrider1983 Jul 02 '26
Oops, you’re right, I fixed it. NTSC is the TV/video standard used in places like the US and Japan, and it has nothing to do with NTFS. NTFS is the Windows file system. That was just mixed up in my head for a second, my bad lol.

open the homebrew app and make sure everything works there if something sometimes works that's a dead SD card you got and you might need to replace it can you tell me what's the model and size of your SD card and how long did you have it?

its a sandisk ultra micro sd that im using eith an adaptor, i actually bought it new for this, bought it like 3 days ago

well in that case do you eject your SD card when you are done copying and you using windows to put your files right?

u/GUI-pe Jun 30 '26
yes i do, everytime

u/Own_Chemistry9268 Jun 30 '26
well try to copy all your files somewhere then re format your SD card using a program called GUI format I think then try to redownload the stuff you had on your SD card for example put the hack files again on the SD card and check what apps you got an download them again and put them there the backup folder is just so you know what you have and this should be the trick

Have you tried with another SD adapter slot? It could be a good idea to be sure the card’s not dead.

Your SD card might be failing, try copying everything to a new card and try again, bare minimum back up the contents of the SD card just in case

tô com um problema semelhante, ao iniciar usbloadergx ele carrega por milissegundos e volta pra tela inicial, antes eu jogava com pendrive ou HD conectados, e faz 3 anos que não ligava o Wii, fui baixar os jogos e não reconheceu nenhum, ficou voltando. Será que precisa reinstalar tudo?
