    Large compatible USB flash drive

    A while ago I got a 500gb USB 3.0 flash drive for the Wii. Unfortunately it hasn't worked so well since I have to force restart the Wii just to get USB Loader GX to recognize it. Since my kid started playing the Wii lately and I find myself needing a faster drive for computer stuff. I am...

    Hacking What are the chances of improvements because of the leak?

    I haven't read a whole lot about the leak but I know there is speculation that it will help with a number of projects like emulators and such. I'm specifically wondering about USBLoaderGX. Are there any plans to see if there is anything interesting to use in the leak? Better game compatibility...

    Hacking usbloadergx slow to load games the first time

    I got a new flash drive for my Wii to play backups after my external SSD died. It's a 512gb Patriot Supersonic Rage Elite. I don't know if it's the drive or a setting but games load slowly upon the first load. Once I click on the game the game screen is supposed to come up, the one with the game...

    Hacking Have to swap usb ports just to play games with usb loader gx

    I'm having an issue with loading games with USB Loader GX. When I try to load a game, the default settings of using loader ios 58 and game ios 249 or 250 results in the screen going black for about 10 seconds and then back to the main menu. I then have to completely shut down my wii because if I...

    Hacking status of loading backups from SD on usbloadergx?

    I've read that usbloadergx can't load Wii backups from an SD card. But I also saw a few newer threads where people swear it worked for them. What's the official word as of today? I'd really like to get rid of that SSD hanging off the back. I know Wiiflow and CFGusbloader can both play from SD...

    Hacking Questions about using SD wifi card and state of network backup

    I'm looking to use an SD card to replace my SSD drive, since 512gb SD cards are quite cheap now. But looking at it I was wondering about SD cards with wifi. I've never used one so I don't quite know how they work but it looks like some of them sync to a PC. But what I'm really wondering is if...

    Hacking I think I may have found a way to play backups over network...

    I know the idea of running games with a USB loader over a network has been discussed before and it's 2018 and all, people are done with Wii. But I had an idea. This is just theoretical but I think that using something like a Raspberry Pi Zero or similar device might be able to accomplish this...

    I am looking to set up emunand on my wii but after doing some research and reading Cyan's wonderful guide (https://gbatemp.net/threads/how-do-i-get-usb-loader-gx-to-properly-utilize-emunand.437521/), I still have a few questions. I want to use emunand with usbloadergx. I first dumped the nand...

    Hacking Still cannot get USB Loader GX forwarder to work

    I've been at this a few times and I haven't been able to get it to work. I've had my Wii hacked for a while but my drive died and I tried to update it to play GC games and now I can't get USB Loader GX to work since I updated my hack. I used ModMii to update it. I have HBC 1.1.0 running via...

    Hardware need new drive for wii

    So my USB drive that I use for USB Loader GX kicked the bucket. It was 500GB. I want to replace it with either a USB SSD drive or flash drive. Maybe even an SD card but that is probably too expensive and likely too slow. Has anyone had trouble loading backups from a flash drive? Can anyone...

    I got my Gateway card and followed the instruction but when I tested a game it get the "game card has been removed" message. I ran the diagnostic and it says the SPI test (and at times SPI read test) failed. I read you can fix it with the test rom but I haven't seen any clear instruction on how...

    are all of the flashcarts still limited to only one rom per sd card? all my research says so but i wasnt sure if i missed anything. and is it likely that this will be resolved in a future firmware update? hopefully it wont require a new flashcart upgrade.

    Homebrew snes9xgx freezes after loading game

    My Wii freezes/hangs at times when loading a save state from snes9xgx and I can't figure out why. At first I thought my hard drive was going to sleep but sometimes it takes a long time before it freezes so I doubt that's it. I can't reply recreate it reliably. It just happens sometimes. I have...

    I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.
