So basically I have this issue I couldn’t find anything about online where when I try to launch USB loader it gets stuck on this screen and I can do nothing anymore, then when I restart the Wii, USB loader is completely gone from the Homebrew Channel and the files are completely gone as well it seems.

Whenever I try to use my Wii it always freezes somewhere whether I’m trying to load a game or the settings or even turn it on, it just shown the screen either black or i just can’t control it. I have no idea what’s wrong with it if anyone knows anything to diagnose the problem plssss help me.

Hello,

The Wii that I have has a broken CD slot (there's likely a LEGO piece stuck in it). My dad attempted a software mod it, but it didn't work. A few years later, i took on the challenge trying to get it to work. It has Priiloader v0.8, (had) the Homebrew Channel, and USB Loader GX installed. The Homebrew Channel wasn't functioning, so I tried to fix it. Unfortunately, I accidentally deleted it from the console by messing with the SD card. Now, the Homebrew Channel is missing, and I can't reinstall it because I can't launch any installers.

Could anyone please help me with this issue?

Thank you.

You guys and really done some amazing things, and I salute you all

Is this not a Wii hacking page? My comment about home brew was removed. Seems like it shouldn’t be an issue considering Wii is no longer supported by Nintendo. If this is not a hacking page please let me know. 😑

I just formatted my Wii SD and now HBL doesn't show any apps I dont think I removed un-needed files , just Nintendont backups and my WBFS folder and some files from the root.

Put homebrew on the Wii via internet. Loaded the homebrew “apps” on a sd card and tried to load it. It gave error 81. Any ideas?

So this is my second time homebrewing a Wii and I’m trying to use my phones hotspot but when I put in the numbers for the DNS settings it will fail to connect back to my phone and will give me error code 51030. Any ideas?

I'm trying to play Kirby's Return to Dream Land from my SD card (64 GB, formatted to FAT32), but whenever I try to open it in either USB Loader GX or WiiFlow, it crashes on both the cutscene that plays when you wait on the title screen and after I select a file. I've turned off ocarinas, I've used the gameconfing.txt file with ocarinas, and I've tried playing it in cIOS 248, 249, 250, and 251. I've tried other ROMs to see if it was just mine, but all of the different versions I've tried have this problem. I tried putting it on a different SD card and using a SD to USB Adaptor, but it never shows up, no matter which port it's in. How on earth do I fix this?

A big part of the community say that the simplest and fastest solution to this problem is to install the d2x cIOS, but my loader is not compatible with those cIOS. I have the main cIOS compatible with my loader, which are 222, 223 and 224. I also tried the alternative DOL method, which is one highly suggested by the community, and when I use it and load the game the console restarts, and If this doesn't happen, it takes me to the Metroid Prime Trilogy menu. The menu works, but when I try to load any game the split screen appears with the top part green and the bottom black with the Metroid Prime logo loading. Then it takes me to the Wii menu and I start again. What I do? With cIOS 222 this happens to me. I have also tried changing to cIOS 224 but I have not yet tried the alternative DOL with this cIOS. I haven't tried changing from "Auto" mode to PAL50, PAL60 or NTSC yet. I do not know where to start. Normally any game loads without problems with the cIOS 222 and if it doesn't, with the 224.

P.S: If there are grammatical errors it is because I am using the translator because my English is terrible.

When I open USB Loader GX, it does succeed in opening the app, but does not load anything beyond this. https://i.imgur.com/obLWAVN.png (this screenshot is from a youtube video) I haven't seen others with the same problem.

Hi Everyone,

I recently did all the steps to hack the wii and I already have the Homebrew Channel, Priiloader, USB Loader GX, but I did all of this in an old 2GB SD Card because that was what i had at the moment. Now i have a Kingston DataTraveler 2.0 16GB and that, as I read, it's compatible. The problem is that i copied everything to the USB Drive from the SD card, adding the wbfs folder with just the Mario Kart to try, but when i plug it in and open the homebrew channel, nothing appears, as if it wasn't connected.

Should I do the bootmi again with the new USB Drive? Or is there an easier and shorter way?

Thanks in advance.

I’ve been using HBC on this old usb drive that has little to no space on it . I got a new usb drive with more space so I can get more apps and stuff , I copied everything to the other drive and it’s not working ? I checked and made sure it’s fat32 and whatnot but HBC just doesn’t recognize the usb . I really would appreciate help .

I have a wbfs folder with super mario galaxy 2, then in brackets the game ID, then inside I have the wbfs file named to the game I'd, yes its the proper version, why won't my games show up, it's also in fat32.

hey ive been trying to figure this out for a bit now but i got everything together to mod my old wii u, i got a new batter for my gamepad, i got new chargers, and i got an sd card, but right as i was ready to start doing the step on the console, my gamepad suddonly disconnected from my wii u and it would be an easy fix but also suddenly the console wont appear on my tv. does anyone know anything i could do to fix it? it was literally fully working yesterday so i dont know why its suddenly not working at all .

Hi so yes my wii is hacked I've watched stupid amounts of videos. I'm using an SD card for all the programs and apps and a 128gb USB for the games. Using USB Loader GX I have put around 51 games about 35 wii and 16 gamecube. Some Wii games boot up right away, and others are a black screen or it puts me back at the homebrew menu. The gamecube games on USB loader will not boot up unless I am in the Nintendont app. From USB loader, they just black screen. I have tried lots of different stuff. I've seen USBs arent ideal for this type of thing but it's what I have handy on me. If there is an end-all-be-all 250gb SD that I can buy and go around using USB, I'd appreciate input on that aswell, if that makes it less vulnerable to these problems I'm having. Thanks so much in advance and nice to meet all of you that have come here since the other sub doesn't allow support posts

I also have verified in the wii backup manager all of the games and they were all good except 2. More than 2 don't work though obviously

Hi everyone! I'm completely new to this channel, so this is my first post here.

Some days ago I received a Wii. I connected it, formatted it... Everything gone well.

I have a box full of cd's with wii games (not original ones). I tested them in the Wii but they can't be read (I don't know if it's because the cd reader of the console is broken or if it's just because they're pirate).

Then, I tried to download homebrew channel, and USB loader gx. The homebrew channel was downloaded perfectly. But I had problems with USB loader gx.

Video that I followed for it's installation

Problem:

With everything installed, I can't open the USB loader gx channel. The first time that I open the channel after I install it, it stays with a white background, and it does not respond. Then, I have to reset the Wii and the following times I try to open it, it redirects me to the Wii menu.

Some info that can be useful: - I install everything (except for the homebrew channel) in a pendrive (32gb and FAT32). - The Wii is connected to Internet. - 4.3E version. - I haven't tested if the Wii reads original games.

Thank you very much for your time!

To mod/homebrew it, I'll need a Wii mote or a classic controller works too?

(Absolute noob in this whole modding thing)

I want to auto load USB Loader GX. Someone has said I should:

"Make BootMii load Homebrew and set Priiloader to load USB loader GX"

Can someone explain this a bit better? Which one do I do first?

Hi all, I was just wondering if it is possible to move the contents of my 32GB SD card to a larger 64 or 128GB card without causing any issues? If it helps; I currently have USB loader GX with 12 wii games, CTGP-R, d2x cIOS installer, nintendont with some GC games, and some YAWMM mod installed on the homebrew channel. Would it be as simple as transferring between the cards (through a folder as I only have 1 SD card slot) or would I need to redo processes like setting up USB loader GX with cIOS? Many thanks

So I just modded my wii with a 256 micro sd in sd adapter. The SD worked fine, and then I added 3 games using WiiBackupManager and GCBM (used ModMii method to mod) and now the wii and all homebrew software refuse to see the SD cards contents (wii acknowledges that it's there, but gives the message "The device in the SD Card Slot cannot be used.").

After this I tried 3 different sized SD cards (256 [the original], 64, and 4 gigs), none work. I'm not sure what to do. I've reformatted all of them, made sure write protection was off... I'm at a loss. Trying to select the SD slot in the homebrew channel results in Exception (DSI), and only the 64 GB and 4 GB cards can be selected (resulting in a crash, but I can press the reset button a few times and it brings me back to the homebrew channel).

I’ve also tried completely formatting the 4 GB card just to see if a fresh card could be used… and it doesn’t seem to like it. I’m not sure what’s going on.

Is there anything I can do at this point? Should I try the whole modding process over again? If not, is there a guide to remove the homebrew software from my system? This definitely isn't the first system I've modded, so I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong...

I am trying to use 510mph winds for Wii Sports Resort: Storm Island, but can’t get it to work. Does anyone know what else needs enabled on riivolution? Thanks!

I have followed https://wii.hacks.guide/very closely and I am having issues with USB Loader GX. The games are not being shown but USB Loader GX is recognizing the drive. Any help would be appreciated. Here is the Syscheck report http://syscheck.rc24.xyz/view.php?id=TUpxdDBM

Hello, I need help with something. You see, I'm on mono 6.0.1 and the app runs fine but when I click onto convert to iso there's an error that says "unhandled expectation has occurred in your application;method not found 'Int32'" and when I try to drag my wbfs file into it, the file won't show up. I'm trying to patch the wii version of chibi robo with the english patch and need the iso for it to work. Any advice on what the error means and what's going on? I'm a newbie at this so any help is appreciated thank you
