    Homebrew NINDENONT MGS Twin Snakes black screen problem

    That still isn't working for me... weird. Nintendont Loader v6.500 (Wii) Built: Dec 15 2022 05:50:40 FIrmware: 58.24.32 I'm loading Twin Snakes through USB Loader GX, and getting black screen'ed at the same point as OP. I'll try loading the game directly through Nintendont, try a few other...

    ED64 Plus... my impressions. Any Owners around here?

    I had a hell of a time getting WWF No Mercy to boot, it'd just sit at a black screen. Changing save type would get into the game, but of course then you couldn't save. Eventually I read it'll work if it finds a save game, so I went over to good ol' GameFAQs and download one... but they're in...

    Homebrew I want to create a forwarder channel for a minor tool someone made, Eject DVD v0.1. How?

    I have a Wii with a stuck eject button, so I have to eject discs through software. I've found that this simple app called Eject DVD v0.1 works great. However, I rather have it available on the System Menu rather than the added step of having to open Homebrew Channel. Is there a tool to make a...

    Homebrew RetroArch Wii: Garbled text when playing certain MAME games like TMNT (pics inside)

    Yeah about it requiring some setup, figured that's the case. I don't have time right now so I just tried a really fast copy/paste job, tried to load TMNT with the core it's listed compatible with (coreE), and it didn't work. I'll read up on how to set it up properly and figure it out when I...

    Homebrew RetroArch Wii: Garbled text when playing certain MAME games like TMNT (pics inside)

    Oh I just noticed Tetsuo Shima's reply. I'll look into that and see what I can find. Thanks again guys. Edit: Sorry for my boneheadedness, but which of these cores is meant to replace the MAME core I've been using? Edit 2: Nevermind, just found the ReadMe files. I didn't see them in the zip...

    Homebrew RetroArch Wii: Garbled text when playing certain MAME games like TMNT (pics inside)

    Thanks for the reply Interstella5555, but just to be clear - when you say you can play them just fine, you mean that the text appears clearly for you? I can indeed play the game and the graphics display correctly, it's just that the text is garbled.

    Homebrew RetroArch Wii: Garbled text when playing certain MAME games like TMNT (pics inside)

    Playing TMNT on the MAME core of RetroArch Wii results in garbled text like this. The game's graphics are fine, but the text is all messed up. Other games like Pac-Man look completely fine which makes me think this is a compatibility issue. Can changing any settings help? and/or is there a...

    Hacking How can I install Priiloader on a 4.1u console?

    It doesn't seem possible to update the System Menu to 4.3u anymore since the servers are down. I bought a copy of Call of Duty: Black Ops to perform the update via the disc, but it isn't working. I assume the software was on the disc itself, but maybe not? Since I couldn't update the console to...

    Homebrew When a friend tries to open NeoPop Wii his WiiMote turns off and the lights flash.

    This effectively disables the controller, preventing him from pressing 1 to continue. I read a rumor a while back that one way Nintendo tried to curb piracy was, when they released the new WiiMotion Plus controllers, they set it disable itself when you try to open certain emulators. However...

    Gaming Does anything ever cause a blinking red light?

    I sold a modded Wii, now the buyer tells me that there's a flashing red light when he plugs it in. I've never heard of this and can't find anyone else with this problem when I Google it. The buyer provided me with a picture but that tells me nothing because it looks like a normal Wii while...

    Hacking USB Loader GX: I only see "Install WAD to EmuNand," I have no "EmuNand WAD Manager"

    I've been driving myself crazy all day with this. I'm not sure what I did/didn't do, but when I go to Settings>Features, the "EmuNand WAD Manager" option isn't there. I want to install multiple WADs that are in a folder at the same time. I've double-checked that I'm using the most recent version...

    Hacking Power on Wii --> Black screen. Is there anything I can do?

    I bought a bunch of Wiis from thrift stores and a couple of them have this problem, so I don't know how they got bricked. When I press the power button, the LED turns green and I can hear the drive spinning up as it should but nothing displays on the screen. One is a RVL-001, the other is a...

    Hacking USB Loader GX: WWE All Stars doesn't load... only this game, everything else works.

    I've tried downloading it from several different sources but when I click on the game, nothing happens. I can still move the cursor, but it slows down as if the console is trying to load something. However, nothing happens. Any idea what's going on?

    Hacking USB Loader GX: Black screen and reset to main menu when attempting to load a GameCube game

    I have a 3TB hard drive with two partitions, one for Gamecube games and one for Wii games. I have Nintendont installed and use USB Loader GX as a loader. The Gamecube games appear in the games list in USB Loader GX as they should, however when I try to select one I get a black screen for a few...

    Hardware WiiMote turns off in between apps and has to be turned back on

    I'm glad you asked because I plan to sell this Wii but forgot to test a game in it first to make sure it works as I usually do. The result... see attached screenshot. I only have his one Wii game to test, a moderately scratched copy of Wii Fit. Hmm.

    Hardware WiiMote turns off in between apps and has to be turned back on

    This is difficult to word correctly so here's a video. I bought a Wii from someone which wasn't in the best of shape. The WiiMote is missing its battery cover, so I put a couple pieces of strong medical tape over the batteries to hold them in place which works fine especially with the silicone...

    Hardware Clicking noise upon startup and won't read discs (video included)

    I have no plan to use discs personally, but this Wii is one of a couple that I bought with the intention to resell. Buyers sometimes have a habit of not fully reading the description before buying something so I try not to sell defective items when I can help it. If the drive is simply toast...

    Hardware Clicking noise upon startup and won't read discs (video included)

    I bought a Wii secondhand for cheap and it makes a rapid clicking noise when I start it up. The clicking also occurs when it attempts (and fails) to take in a disc via its motorized tray. I'm new to Wii. Is this a common issue with Wiis? What might be happening here and could it be repairable?

    Hacking NOOB PARADISE - ask away

    Thank you, but I don't understand the part I underlined. I downloaded both MMM and YAMMM but neither of the accompanying meta.xml files include this line. What does <ahb access /> do and where do I put it, do I stick it within the <app> tag? Edit: I read somewhere yes, stick it within <app> so...

    Hacking NOOB PARADISE - ask away

    I want to set up a forwarder for USB Loader GX so I don't have to go through the homebrew channel. All the guides I find are old, have broken links, and seem outdated. It seems that this is a delicate process so I don't want to just start messing around with Wad Manager (the first thing it asks...
