Hi, so I just homebrewed my wii yesterday using the wii.hacks.guide tutorial. My goal was to be able to play my gamecube backups from a usb so my brother can have my gamecube. However, I have hit a wall. usbloadergx boots to a blank ui and is then stuck unless i hard power off. wiiflow also boots to loading animation and needs to be hard powered off.


my homebrew and game backups are all on a 32gb sandisk flash drive. it is fat32 formatted MBR with 8192 byte cluster size. i also tried 32kb clusters. there is no extra space surrounding the partition according to gparted. my cISO's have been updated according to the wii.hacks.guide instructions. where did i go wrong in my process? i am totally out of ideas :( I know usb flash isn't the ideal way to load game backups, but I don't have an SD card or external drive and I would like to make use of what I have instead of ordering a new one..

Not sure what "wii.hacks.guide tutorial" you used. Tutorial overload :(
For what it's worth, just use ModMii. That will send you in the right direction.

I cannot link to the site because of new user restrictions, but just search for "wii.hacks.guide". It's one of the first results on DDG. It's a pretty thorough tutorial and I don't feel like it misinformed me at all.

I tried using ModMii as you suggested, but it did not resolve the problem or provide any additional information, as I seemingly already have everything set up correctly on my USB drive.

I'm attaching a copy of my SysCheck to this post. If anyone could review it, I would appreciate it!!!! I'm still at a dead end as to what the problem is.

I will assume that you are using "Nintendont" (?).
try using Nintendont directly (no USBL GX). See how you go.
Sorry, don't have time to scroll through your Syscheck.

    Back when Oculus Rift was still starting out and being demoed around, they modded existing games to use it as a 360° immersive screen thing and that was AMAZING.

    The tech isn't there for affordable power enough VR headsets at a good market value yet sadly, oculus had a good idea but didn't have enough funds for marketing iirc

    But now it's "can I use my VR set with my racing games, that would be neat?" "ONLY IF YOU USE OUR DILDOSTICK CONTROLLERS AND RUN THE GAME ON OUR ANDROID-UNDERPOWERED BRICK"

  • Veho @ Veho:
    The tech to have quality VR goggles at an affordable price is here, but every set has to have 4 additional controllers and be standalone.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    These are the same type of gamers that spend $2,000 on a GPU when a $600 GPU gives nearly the same outcome which is what the market looks at for them to do spend more on unneeded bs
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If we're talking AAA titles a vr headset would be priced at nearly the same cost as a midrange gaming pc maybe even double
