The title says it all. I have a version 4.3U Wii that is softmodded. Installed the homebrew channel, updated IOS 249 and 250, then used mutimod manager to install a WAD of super mario world that I downloaded from the google drive link that has all of the virtual console WADs. Everytime I try to launch the game it crashes to a blank screen. Also tried installing a different WAD for a different game (super mario bros. 3) and the same thing happens. I also have USB Loader GX installed as well as several wii games loaded onto an external hard drive. Those games work just fine. I also have a few N64 games installed and those work just fine too. It's only virtual console WADs that I cannot get to work. Any ideas what might be causing the issue?

patched system menu IOS80? - No I don't think I have that installed. Is that needed?

I first tried installing the titles directly onto the wii which didn't work. Also tried moving them to the SD card and that did not work either.

Titles are NTSC and I have an NTSC wii.

Install at a minimum a patched ios60 to your IOS80 slot. If this is too complicated, just use modmii, it will do it for u, u can use the syscheck updater wizard or the main wizard. I'm not certain it will fix your issue, but it's worth a shot. IIRC it will allow titles to be played after moving them to the SD card, but I don't think it should be required for titles installed to real nand so that's why I'm not sure if it will necessarily fix your issue.

You could also just try neek and an emulated nand, or even better an emulated nand and a modern usb loader to load titles off it off one or more emulated nands saved to external media

I have USB Loader Gx and im able to play wii games in wbfs just fine. Is there a way that I can install a WAD to my hard drive and use USB Loader Gx to play it?

yes, just use usb loader gx's feature to create emunand, then inject wads into it. I've done this on the wii u, so the wii should be as simple as that.

    Usually when such a big title leaks the Temp will be the first to report about it (going off of historical reports here, Pokemon SV being the latest one I can recall seeing pop up here)

    I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I only watch tv when i goto bed, it puts me to sleep, and I have a nas drive filled w my fav shows so i can watch them in order, commercial free. I usually watch Married w Children, or South Park
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Stremio ruined my need for nas
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I stream from Nas to firestick, one on every tv, and use Kodi. I'm happy w it, plays everything. (I pirate/torrent shows/movies on pc, and put on nas)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Kodi repost are still pretty popular
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What the hell is Kodi reposts? what do you mean, or "Wut?" -xdqwerty
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Google them basically web crawlers to movie sites
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    oh you mean the 3rd party apps on Kodi, yea i know what you mean, yea there are still a few cool ones, in fact watched the new planet of the apes movie other night w wifey thru one, was good pic surprisingly, not a cam

    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    That's where stremio comes to play never got a letter about it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just use a VPN, even give him my login and password so can use it also, and he refuses, he's funny.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I had to find and get him an old style flip phone even without text, cause thats what he wanted. No text, no internet, only phone calls. Old, old school.

    @BigOnYa, Lol I bought a new USB card reader thing on AliExpress last month for I think like 87 cents. Free shipping from China... It arrived it works and honestly I don't understand how it was so cheap.
