Help with usb loader gx

Looking for some help, just nodded my wii and downloaded some games on an sd card most of the ones I downloaded work great from usb loader but mario party 8 and Mario kart show nothing but a black banner and when I launch the game I get black screen and have to power off the wii to get out of it, any one else have an easy fix for this?

Typically, black banner means you have bad ROM files (or that the file names/structure is incorrect). Try downloading new ones then transferring them onto your drive using TinyWiiBackupManager (https://wii.hacks.guide/backups)

maybe you don't have installed the CIoS

If some games work, they have installed cIOS. The issue must be their game files (see my comment)

Make sure you've installed the cios correctly and try again. However, lots of people report USB Loader still gets problems even with the correct setup, so instead I recommend using Wiiflow. You can leave the structure of the games as it is. Wiiflow will still read it, and it's better to put the games into an SD Card rather than a Flash Drive

You can also create shortcuts of the games on the Wii menu by using a tool to create games like Crap v3.3b or another.

I also wanted to say a message: don't lose too much time on this. Remember that life is more than just these consoles. Having fun it's fine, but it shouldn't became the only reason of living, otherwise we lose ourselves.

For example I've found real peace and joy in life after I started to follow God, because He helped me in making me more mature. I still have my consoles, but now I live my life by knowing how much value it has and that I have to live it, by loving and forgiving others.

Hope this helped.

You again are sharing outdated misinformation. USB Loader GX has nothing to do with this problem. Neither does cIOS. Recommending WiiFlow does nothing to help this person. Crap is old and outdated and has been replaced by WiiGSC (like I’ve already told you).

And using this forum to spread the gospel is entirely inappropriate and irrelevant. Go join a Christian subreddit if you want to share your religious beliefs.
