Starting from yesterday, trying to launch Nintendont on my Wii shows a green flashing screen after "Checking storage devices" that lasts for a few seconds then takes me back to the Homebrew Channel, I made no changes to its settings before that. Things I tried:
  • Unplugging my USB device
  • Reinstalling Nintendont
  • Deleting the nincfg.bin file
And no successful result.

Any help with this problem?

I would backup the SD card, format it to FAT32 with 32K cluster size, and reinstall your data. See if that helps.

Hello, I am having the same issue, Nintendont worked perfectly with and without Usbloader GX, but suddenly green freeze on "checking storage devices" It doesn't ask me SD or USB anymore. I deleted all config files, Reinstall nintendont, reinstall the IOS58-64-v6176 but nothing works. This isn't a hdd problem, Wii games works perfectly and GameCube games works with dios mios. I tried another USB drive in fat32 and same problem. I would be grateful if you can help me to find out what happened overnight ?

This happened to me back when I didn't have batteries for my Wii Remote and I mainly used my console for GC games. After that green screen problem happened to me I launched a Wii game through USB Loader GX for like a minute then I returned to Nintendont and it worked fine.

I had to do a nand recovery, I put back Usb loader gx r1272 and Nintendont 6.500, all works fine. Then I re download the r1281 in GX and GameCube games doesn't launch again. I think the rev1281 of GX do something to the Nintendont config (and not to a config file because there no one anywhere) when We set "autoboot". And then each time I launch Nintendont hombrew alone it freezes (and back to the hombrew channel or GX it depends from where I launched it) after " Ios 58 kernel" before asking me SD or USB. So like It trying to "autoboot no game".

So I made a nand recovery a 2nd time and I stay on the r1272 for now ^^. I hope the GX team will look on this and fix it for the next release.

    @BigOnYa, and since the default emulator is below average i downloaded some "replacements" like snes9x for snes games for example

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If you just want pi for emulation no point when Anbernic releases new shit every two seconds

  • 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:

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
