Hacking Homebrew USB Loader GX black screen on booting up game

[Kuramations]

Every time I boot up a game on USB Loader GX, I get a black screen. I have no idea what's going on, and I have tried multiple solutions and nothing has worked. Is there anything I can do? Any help is appreciated.

Would you be satisfied with a "maybe something" answer? All the telepaths are on holiday.
Give a sane description of all equipment used and provide at least a SysCheck report.

I am using a SanDisk Cruzer Glide 3.0 64GB Flash Drive and a Transcend SDHC 4GB SD Card.

Here's a SysCheck Report. (Had to take photos of it since my Wii cannot connect to the internet)

On a personal note, I'm someone who's very new to Wii homebrew and just modded my Wii less than a few days ago.

If you softmoded the Wii by yourself a few days ago, you used a very outdated guide. This is a uptodate guide. Nowdays only a patched IOS with d2x (actual is d2x-v11-beta1) in Slot 248 up to 251 is necesarry.

• ciOS 249(base56), 250(base57), 251(base38) (Wii) / (base58) (vWii)
• For higher game compatibilty, add: cIOS 248(base38) (Wii only!!) and 251(base58) (Wii+vWII)

USB Flashdrives are not recommened, they tend not to work or create issues. HDD/SSD are recommened.

And a black screen is mostly the result of corrupted games images, check the hash value with Wii Backup Manager.

SanDisk Cruzer Glide 3.0 64GB Flash Drive

Does this USB flash drive have a read/write led-light indicator?
I had a case of black screen in the past, it turned out that it was just a very, very long time to read the game from the USB flash drive.

It does actually. You mean how the flash drive glows whenever I plug it into something, right?

Edit: Also, now that you mention it, the game DID take a very long time to load, but it's been very inconsistent

I meant does the led blinking (and consequently the game file is reading) while there is a black screen.

Yes it does

I added this in the guide under USB flash drives as possible error inducation.

Fixed the problem.

All I did was simply get a different brand flash drive. A PNY 128GB USB 3.0.
Works just fine.

Thank you all for the help.
