Homebrew Help, USB LOADER won't show any games, including games already on the console

[mrdazed]

It only worked once, which was right after first install, I have since uninstalled and reinstalled it, same ordeal

 

[CoolMe]

It only worked once,

Are you using a usb flash drive or an external hdd? What format?
Is it plugged in port 0?

which was right after first install, I have since uninstalled and reinstalled it, same ordeal

Uninstalled usbloadergx? Since it doesn't detect your games you need to manually change the drive path in USBLoaderGX 's settings. Do that and try again.
Also, do your games show up in WiiBackupmanager?
And of course, post a syscheck here.

 

[mrdazed]

USB Formated to FAT32, but am getting an SSD sometime this week, port 0 is USB1 I think, so yes (maybe)

I have since discovered that when my drive is plugged in on startup, all games disappear and none show up, while I don't know if they show up on WiiBackupManager, they show up on WiiFlow, I have changed it to my usb stick, but to no avail

the image uploaded wrong, let me try again

That's not how you post a sysCheck
I can tell from the image in the OP that you're using a USB flash drive, those usually don't work with USB loaders. Also there is no point in a SSD, a cheap USB HDD will do the job just as well.

 

[mrdazed]

my bad (sorta new here)

and its a little too late to tell me that because I've already ordered one on amazon

 

[CoolMe]

port 0 is USB1 I think

You need to make sure it is otherwise it wouldn't work correctly, It's bottom port when the Wii is in a horizontal position.

while I don't know if they show up on WiiBackupManager,

You need to check in WiiBackupmanager.

they show up on WiiFlow, I have changed it to my usb stick, but to no avail

Drive path?

 

[CoolMe]

Also, from your syscheck you're missing the 251 cIOS, use this guide to see how you'd install cIOS 251 with base (38).

 

[mrdazed]

You need to make sure it is otherwise it wouldn't work correctly, It's bottom port when the Wii is in a horizontal position.

You need to check in WiiBackupmanager.

Drive path?

ok, have confirmed that port 0 is usb 1, even though from what I've heard it should be usb 2 but it opens the USB and it reads it's contents

unfortunately, its going to be a little less than 2 weeks before I can use WiiBackupManager, the truth is that I've been using my Phone using Samsung Dex to install homebrew software, and I can't use WiiBackupManager until I get to where my Windows PC is

yes, I changed the drive path to my usb stick, and nothing appeared, just to make sure, under what option in custon paths should I set my wii games to?

oh yeah, and I will set the missing cIOS, I can't atm because I'm copying some files to my usb drive, but I will post again once I'm able to

 

[mrdazed]

ok so after installing the missing cIOS, the games showed up properly again... until I pressed default settings because I wasn't sure which one was the setting to set your wii games to, and I set it as titles, but wasn't sure if titles was the right one, so reset all settings so it would go back to it's default directory, which unbenounced to me, also got rid of your system games from visibility

 

[mrdazed]

after a tad bit of research (i googled it) I NEED WiiBackupManager in order to run games off of a usb drive on USB Loader :/, but the "not showing any games" problem... is still a problem, my grandma's old windows 7 laptop should be laying around here somewhere, so sometime tomorrow (today techically) I'll load up WiiBackupManager off of my usb drive (trying to download it from the laptop will take too long because.... OLD)

 

[CoolMe]

Set it to the Wbfs folder that's on the root of your usb flash drive.

Ok.

Can you post a new syscheck?

until I pressed default settings because I wasn't sure which one was the setting to set your wii games to, and I set it as titles, but wasn't sure if titles was the right one, so reset all settings so it would go back to it's default directory, which unbenounced to me, also got rid of your system games from visibility

Does it still says you have "0 games" in USBLoaderGX' menu?

after a tad bit of research (i googled it) I NEED WiiBackupManager in order to run games off of a usb drive on USB Loader :/

No you don't, you just need your Wii games to be on the wbfs folder that's located on the root of your USB flash drive.

, but the "not showing any games" problem... is still a problem, my grandma's old windows 7 laptop should be laying around here somewhere, so sometime tomorrow (today techically) I'll load up WiiBackupManager off of my usb drive (trying to download it from the laptop will take too long because.... OLD)

When inside USBLoaderGX, there's a banner on top, on one of the tabs see if you have Wii/gc/nand titles etc. checked.

 

[mrdazed]

The wbfs folder is on my usb drive, yet nothing shows up, I'm thinking I have set my wbfs folder under the wrong option in custom paths because I don't know which one is games, or does there just have to a wbfs folder because usb loader checks it by default?

In the video i sent on the OP had both checked (except nand, but even doing so now brings no results and 0 games still show up)

Here's the sys check:

The wbfs folder is on my usb drive, yet nothing shows up, I'm thinking I have set my wbfs folder under the wrong option in custom paths because I don't know which one is games, or does there just have to a wbfs folder because usb loader checks it by default?

Does your USB flash drive pass the usb initiation screen without showing the countdown?
Does it say that you have "0 games" in USBLoaderGX?
I would suggest formatting your usb flash drive as wbfs with WiiBackupmanager. Then try again.

In the video i sent on the OP had both checked (except nand, but even doing so now brings no results and 0 games still show up)

Your drive is plugged in port 0 (the lower port when the Wii is in a horizontal position)?

 

[mrdazed]

accidental post

 

[mrdazed]

yes, it passes the countdown
still shows 0 games
and yes, its plugged in to the bottom port
and I forgot to mention, when I select nand and try to select anything that has to do with showing games, USB Loader softlocks
I'll have to bust the laptop out to format to wbfs

 

[mrdazed]

Wow! After formatting it to WBFS, it actually worked! It doesn't show the system games, but I really don't care about that since the usb games show up

 

[CoolMe]

Glad it worked for you!

It doesn't show the system games, but I really don't care about that since the usb games show up

To set it to show nand titles, just click on one of the tabs on the banner on top when in USBLoaderGX, and check nand/GC/Wii etc.

 

[Somari128]

on my usb i have 89 games and on usb loader gx it says 71 how do i get the remaining games to show up my usb is wbfs format 256gb

They should show up on usbloadergx regardless of if they work or not. Run WiiBackupManager and see if they appear there, if they do, verify them for corruption. If they don't they're probably no longer on your usb.
