Years ago I made changes to wbfs_file to include all of the partitions in the .wbfs and it worked fine. I have since lost the changes, but they were pretty trivial from what I remember.
If you're talking about the partition table in Smash Bros you're right, it's a fairly simple fix. Getting the fix into WBM is another matter without the source to it.
Finally got my setup working, No more required Booting games via uneek2o + DI on my terrible power saving external.
However I have been encountering a few weird issues with USBLoader GX (Im on the latest Revision, That I am aware of. The one From the first Post) v3.0 R1268 or R1263 (not at wii so not 100%).
First issue, is that about 50% of the time, When I click Any button It stops responding (By that I mean audio still plays, and can move cursor. But If I click on anything else, It Makes the clicking sound and does nothing. Then the Button I clicked No longer Highlights Over Hover) This happens with All The Buttons. Im using the Wii System Menu Layout. (I think it Might only be doing this if I use the Usb Loader Launcher I have Installed to my system menu)
Secondly Minor Issues, But I have to use IOS58 to launch the loader or it hangs at the Hard Drive Initializing.
and Lastly another Minor Issue. If I go into hard drive Settings, The Very Top option that shows the Game Partition Information, Is showing Information from the Old Hard drive I was using which had power save issues. (478gb Partition, When everything is actually On a 3.8TB Partition). Even though the main menu shows that I have 3.6TB free space. And I tried refreshing the Hard Drive FS info.
I'm having a problem with my hard drive on a certain Wii.
I use the same hard drive between 2 Wiis. One of them reads it just fine (a 2006 Wii), the other doesn't (a red Wii). Let's talk about the one that doesn't read it fine.
Occasionally while saving a game on emuNAND, the game just softlocks. Also at least 1/3 or 1/4 of the time, the homebrew channel gets stuck in the middle of it loading USB Loader GX. I think I tried it with the other port, same problem.
Also, on Nintendont, I loaded up a game and it said "An error has occurred." and I know for a fact the ISO of the game I have works, but in this case apparently it can be a problem with the HDD.
I might not be able to help a lot.
Let's just go through some logical steps :
do you have the same problem when loading/saving a game (with nintendont or emuNAND) from SD? to know if it's really a HDD issue, or the console. (I don't know why the console would have issues, but let's try anyway just to leave that possibility out)
did you try another HDD on the red Wii ? to know if it's only THIS hdd which has that issue, or all HDDs.
I'm not familiar with red wii, I don't know if they have power issue (like wiiu). Maybe it require a YCable too ?
Nintendont doesn't provide more information on the error?
Be careful, if the drive disconnect while it's creating a file (savegame memory card creation when launching nintendont, or exiting a gamecube game) you might lose your partition data.

I don't think his problem is linked to the channel or launcher he uses.
once the loader has booted, the channel is not in memory anymore. At worse, he has an old channel without AHB or IOS58, but nintendont would refuse to launch, he would notice something is wrong in the loader too.
Once the game has launch, the loader is not in memory anymore. it the game launched, it means everything was fine at that time.
the problem seems to come after some minutes, so it could be HDD sleep mode (but he doesn't have the problem on the other console). It could be power issue, I don't know why only on red wii, and why only after few minutes. If the drive had power issue it might not launch the game at all. It could be File system issue (but why only after some minutes? maybe dying hdd? why only on red wii?)
trying different things to exclude and narrow the problem is what we will try to do.
You can try to launch the loader or nintendont directly from HBC instead of using a channel, like he said, it's worth trying at that point
ok, let's try with what you can for now.
it will be better than not trying anything.

Cyan you seem to be the master of USB Loader problems so I really hope you (or anyone) can help me.
I've softmodded my wii, and have followed many tutorials for installing emulators, dios, channels and so on. So I'd like to think I have a basic understanding of what I'm doing.
The problem I'm having is when I try to play a wii game from usb loader it returns me to the main system menu. I've tried several games but to no avail.
The roms are NTSC-U and my system is PAL. I've tried every different video option in usb loader but no luck.
I can play gamecube games through usb loader (using nintendont) no worries at all and they too are all NTSC region games.
- My wii is PAL 4.3
- My usb HDD is partitioned (one NTFS with wbfs wii roms all in their individual folders, and the second partition is FAT32 containing roms for other emulators).
- I put my HDD into port 0 (the one near the edge).
- I've set the io249 base 57 with d2x v10 r52 and io250 base 58 with d2x v10 r52.
- I'm using usb loader v3.0 r1268.

Can you please help as I've spent days working on this and I'm stumped, the strange thing is if I use wiiflow there's no problem and I can play every game. I'd just prefer to use USB Loader as the interface looks cleaner and more user friendly.
Sorry if I asked this in the wrong place, I've never posted on this forum before so I'm a bit of a novice with all this.
It's an actual 1tb USB portable HDD. I downloaded the wbfs ROMs in NTSC not on purpose but as I had read that the usb loaders are region free so I wasn't worried when getting the NTSC copies.
your setup seems good. (not best, but it's fine).
Maybe the problem is not your setup, but the settings?
be sure USBLoaderGX global setting (and games set to use global setting) is set to use IOS Slot 249.
if you tell games to use slot250, you could have compatibility issues because it's using base58.
Other than this, I don't have any other idea to fix your compatibility issue.
as general rule, console returning to menu when launching a game is a symptom of "game not found".
it can be either :
- wrong cIOS/ not installed (verify your setting is set to 249)
- HDD not compatible with cIOS (wiiflow works, so the hdd is compatible with cIOS)
- Partition is not compatible (but wiiflow works)
- Partition table/order not correctly mounted (do you use multiple USB at the same time?)
- ISO is bad (again, wiiflow works, same issue with all games not just a specific one)
- Not enough USB Power (usually only for WiiU)
As for your setup :
you miss IOS254 (bootmii IOS), you can add it back using hackmii installer.
You have IOS90 (It doesn't exist, no idea what it is nor who added it/uses it)
other cIOS are using bases not often used, but I guess these slots are used by Wiiflow automatic base selection.
Hrrrmm. I've just checked and USB loader gx is definitely using IOS 249, still no good though.
When I put the wbfs files on the HDD, I just dragged and dropped them after downloading. Did I need to have used some manager first or it that only when ripping from a disc/iso?
If everything seems fairly good, would I be best to simply wipe the Wii and load it all from scratch but this time following only one person/guide to install things? If so, how can I format the Wii and which guide would you recommend?
Thanks for your help both Cyand and GreyWolf, just my luck that I have a problem which cannot be solved LOL.
When looking at your syscheck report, we see that your cios 249 is based on 57 instead of base 56, you may need to reinstall your cios 249 but on the base 56 and resize your loader.

57 is even better than 56
having base57 in slot 249 is better beause you get the best base by default, you don't need to edit the loader's setting to use another slot
but if he thought he had to still "use slot 250" like lot of noobs are telling, instead of explaining to use base57, then that may be his problem. (I see you are using slot249, so it's good)
Don't reinstall base56 in slot249, you slot is fine like this.
I don't understand "resize" either.
Maybe that's your problem? But I suppose the loader would not list the game if it was a non compatible path&filename.
just to be sure, where did you copy the file ?
the best path is this one :
/wbfs/Game's title [TitleID6]/TitleID6.wbfs
or .iso if you use ntfs, though you lose a lot of hdd space by using iso format. You should use WiiBackupManager.

if yo uwant to remod, I recommend using Modmii.
it will generate the needed files, and a personal guide to follow based on your choices/answers.
modmii will replace all IOS and cIOS slots with the common setup, and will make you reinstall priiloader. Do not choose to install the loader's forwarder (use the official one from each loaders if you want one)
but you don't really need to replace all these files, only 2 things can be changed manually (installing bootmii IOS, and that's all because you can keep IOS90 it won't conflict).
Maybe you could try to reinstall the slot 249, sometime the cIOS is not correctly installed. But usually the symptom of broken cIOS is wiimote unsync.
if you need to understand more about IOS, you can read a guide I'm currently writing in wii FAQ section. (the closed guide)
it's not complete yet, I didn't write the cIOS and syscheck part.
