I've been having this issue for a while and I'm not sure of how to fix it? So far its happening when I play Chibi Robo and Rayman 3 hoodlum havoc. It took about 15 or more tries to get Rayman to work properly on my wii because it would either crash after a few seconds of starting, crash before I could get past the tutorial, or randomly do it which felt like it was out of spite. The only different issue I had with Chibi Robo is it would crash when loading a random area within the house, it didn't do it when I played it for the first few hours but became a more random yet occasional issue when playing the game. The whole random crashing problem only effects gamecube games and has sort of made me avoid trying to play any of the gamecube games I never got to play as a kid. If anyone knows a way to fix this issue please let me know, it would be greatly appreciated!

Post a syscheck here.
Make sure you're using the latest Nintendont version.
Are you loading GC games from an SD card or usb/ext hdd?
There's also a possibility that your isos are corrupt, re-rip your GC discs (/or re-download these games again, from a different source preferably) and try again.

Im using a 1 tb hdd. I'm pretty sure when I modded my wii I used the most latest nintendont but it could be possible the isos are corrupt. If I redownload the games will I lose what progress I did make?

Game progress? No, as it's not stored on the isos, for MC emulation it'll be on the "saves" folder on the root of your hdd, if you're using a GC MC then they'll be there.
I wanted to make a reply and say downloading and doing a syscheck somehow fixed my problem because I haven't had any crashes since then, but if I do I'll redownload my isos and come back if I have more problems

Use Wiiflow
Not the most helpful reply. I don't personally know about common bugs with USB Loader GX, but I do also prefer WiiFlow myself. It has proven more reliably in my personal experience, and iirc will use the same saves. If you try WiiFlow and have the same issues, at the very least you'll be able to tell that it's hardware somewhere along the line.

Also, if you can afford it, try debugging using a SD card to load games. It could be a cable issue or an issue with the HDD itself.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea ps3 is a beast still to today compared to most "sticks"
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If you just want pi for emulation no point when Anbernic releases new shit every two seconds
    +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What's really cool about Pi's tho is you can have multiple SD cards with different OS on each SD card and change from say a gaming machine to a full fledged pc if wanted
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Plus all bios are set up and usually includes at least 128gbs or 64
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah but if your main goal is just to play n64 and GameCube you can save about $50 and have the portability option

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    True, but on 2 monitors at 4k. Its just want you want really, to each they own.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    For a kids aspect Anbernic would be the better option they'd probably melt over the price on a good 4k display

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    For that texasroo guy, I'd recommend the Spell and speak as his first system.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    So they buy a pi5 kit for about $150 and say a 28" 4k display probably looking around $400 total
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They'll be getting in the territory of portable Pcs anyway

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Again you get what you pay for, its like buying a S series for $300 but its only 1440p native, if you want true 4k, gotta get the X model for $500. But yea you right, when moms buying it anyways, you gotta stay cheap.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They could use HD out on their TV no real need for a monitor these days tbh the purists will disagree
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'm kind of phasing out on the need for wanting all these consoles cool to have but they just become dust build ups
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I here ya there, I have too many myself, and have hard time letting them go, since most of mine I've modded at some point. Anymore I just play Switch on the go, seriesx at home.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    ack my throat
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I need to invest in some storage totes tbh
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tots?
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tootles? Wtf
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Oh tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Oh totes , lol, like Tupperware storage, I gotcha
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I'm designing my own entertainment cabinet for my man cave, to store all my systems, then I'm also designing a power supply/HDMI switcher so I can switch to whichever system I want, and power it also. Already picked up the cabinet board, but tinkering with my drawings before start
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    But yea, I have frogger arcade cabinet that I gutted and put a Pi4 then Pi5 into, but it never gets played much anymore, should sell it. Even when the kids come over, they don't want to play on it, just the xbox. TMNT and Simpson's arcade is still so fun on it, esp w 2 players.
