So when I load into a wii wad, the controller disconnects and the wii shows a black screen. I converted them with Convert2vWii, so my vWii isn’t bricked. The wads were installed with WiiModLite because the only Wii controllers I have are ones with motion plays built in. Any
ideas on how to solve this?
I can't speak for Dread, but mine are indeed forwarders to games in USB Loader GX. I found a potential solution from a YouTuber named 'WinMe11' (as unreliable as they seem at first based on their usual content, they did show the entire process), but that comes with its own problem of the WAD packer/unpacker 'ShowMiiWads' refusing to work, instead showing the error 'There are files missing!'. So if you know how to solve that problem, or a different way to solve the original problem, I'd really appreciate it. The WADs themselves were created with WiiGSC, if that matters.

Welp, I was able to convert them using 'Convert2vWii' but despite this, they still have the same effect of a black screen softlock requiring removal of the power cable. I've used different programs to create the WADs, I've tried downloading them directly online, I've tried different programs to convert the WADs, and I've made no progress at all. I even checked to make sure that it wasn't some kind of initialization problem by opening the game through USBLGX and then trying the forwarder WAD, but nope.
Well I tried both uninstalling and reinstalling the standard cIOSs, and that didn't fix it. I tried deleting IOS80, which resulted in a semibrick I had to fix. I've tried the various WADs without yet reinstalling IOS80. I've even tried WADs that weren't converted to vWii format. I have no idea how to make this work.

I tried making a new WAD that's a forwarder for WiiFlow instead, and after setting up WiiFlow and making sure it worked through it the WADs still don't work. I'm very close to just giving up.
sorry guys, my dumbass thought that i needed to use convert2vwii on every wad, not just forwarders to homebrew. when you use convert2vwii on a normal wii shop wad, install it and run it, it just soft locks you on a black screen. it doesn’t brick or anything, just soft locks. the solution was to just install it normally without using convert2vwii.
I'm glad you figured out your problem, dread. Sorry for hijacking your thread.
For the people Googling this in the future: I'm fairly certain I figured it out. According to a post on r/WiiHacks as well as some testing by members of the Nintendo Homebrew Discord Server, Forwarder WADs can't forward to games that are stored on an SD card. There may (or may not) be a way to utilize emuNAND to get around this problem; but I'm just going to buy a thirty-dollar hard drive off Amazon, as it seems easier.
