    Hacking USB Loader GX

    I had been trying it without DM installed, as I'm aware that that program is for loading from USB devices. I had read elsewhere here that GX could play backups from a DVD with the regular mIOS installed, but I guess that information was wrong. Either way, I've finally figured out a USB...

    Hacking NeoGamma R9 beta

    Thank you everyone for the replies. Out of sheer boredom, I actually started playing around with CFG again, and realized that after updating it via the software itself, I still wasn't at the newest version. Not sure why it was a two step process, but Configurable USB Loader seems to be working...

    Hacking USB Loader GX

    You might want a second opinion, but it looks like everything but the readme file would go into the USB Looader GX folder under "apps" on your drive.

    Hacking USB Loader GX

    Unfortunately, I've already been down that road. I've made an ISO using DMT and choosing RAW format, and none of the five reasons are actually a problem as far as I can tell.

    Hacking USB Loader GX

    Can do! The stats: Wii with system menu 3.2. I've tried this both with and without Dios Mios installed. With DM: Usb Loader GX switches over to the DM screen, and I get an error across the logo that doesn't even fit on the page. Without, it seems like it's ready to launch, but then gives me...

    Hacking USB Loader GX

    While trying to troubleshoot Neogamma, I realized that USB Loader GX has a disc loader option that supports GC backups. When I try to use it, the initial page recognizes what game is inserted and lets me click on load. But once it starts spinning up the disc, I just a black screen and the...

    Hacking NeoGamma R9 beta

    Since I can't get a USB launcher to work, I thought I'd go with the "easy" option - Neogamma. Well...all I can get is a green screen and a reset. My discs are showing the Gamecube logo in the official Nintendo disc channel, so it seems like they've been burned properly. But when I run...

    Homebrew Complete idiot's guide to using Dios Mios?

    Hi all - In my quest to actually get Dios Mios to work, I have used several different threads and websites, all of which have varying levels of conflicting information. Is there a single, start-to-finish guide, that explains everything I need to do? What USB loader do I need to install...

    Hacking Any reason to NOT update from 3.2 to 4.1?

    I've performed various soft mods over the course of the last five years, and my Wii is pretty much a software Frankenstein at this point. I have to remove the SD card to boot it, USB Loader GX freezes the console on launch, and now the Multi Mod Manager won't install any .wad files (error...

    Hacking How to recover from a bad hack?

    Perfect! Installed 249/56 per the instructions, and games are starting right up now. With all this mucking about, is there anything I should do now to "clean up" the system? Or just be happy that it works and leave it be?

    Hacking How to recover from a bad hack?

    Sorry, I forgot to edit out the old info on that post. Yes, I can boot the console. Yes, I can start USB Loader GX and select a game. However: it just kicks me back to the Homebrew Channel when I try to actually start a game.

    Hacking How to recover from a bad hack?

    Mixed results here. Wizard used; installed BootMii as both IOS and boot2 according to the guide. I added USB Loader GX to the card and used it to select my hard drive (it's a FAT32 partitioned drive), and I got an warning saying I was attempting to load a non-WBFS drive using 249 rev 18. So...

    Hacking How to recover from a bad hack?

    I have MMM on the memory card, but it's not actually showing up in the HBC. BootMii isn't installed - I don't think it existed when I first hacked the console (years and years ago); or it wasn't part of the guide at the time. Same with the NAND backup - wasn't part of the process back when I...

    Hacking How to recover from a bad hack?

    I made some mods to an already hacked wii months ago, and in the process, it stopped behaving. USB Loaders of all variations just give me code dumps. When I try to use ModMii to rebuild the console, I can only get as far as the load screen for HBC before it freezes. The whole "this is a...

    Hacking Reformatting after a bad hack?

    Well played. For reference: I started doing this as a last minute hack job (no pun intended) the night before leaving on a four month tour. I came back from that a few weeks ago, and have only now decided to tackle this project again. I'd love to be able to remember what specific files I...

    I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.
