Games not showing up

I tried getting Wii Sports + Resort onto my USB Drive but whenever I go into USB Loader GX the game doesn’t show up. I know that my file location and names are correct but they won’t display.

Black screen after launching USB Loader GX forwarders (vWii)

These exact forwarders were working fine yesterday, and suddenly, they just.. stopped working??

It's been happening since today, I've tried looking for help on Reddit, but couldn't find anything :/

Yes, I have restarted and I have the USB Loader GX forwarder itself.

Project: Playing Wii in My Car with Custom Wii Car Power Adapter for enough power for external HDD/SDD to run from Wii's USB

Hey everyone,

I've embarked on an exciting project to play Wii in my car and I’m thrilled to share it with the community. With the Sensor Bar embedded into the cover of the radio head unit, I created a custom Wii car power adapter that provides a stable 12V 3.6A power supply. Unlike other adapters with lower power ratings (3A and 3.15A) that struggle with USB HDDs and SSDs, my adapter ensures reliable performance.

Why I'm Doing It This Way

This custom Wii car power adapter is the result of extensive research and trial and error. USB Power Delivery standards can be challenging, with 11V 4.05A being optimal, but existing USB-C to Wii power options use the 12V 3A setup. Other dedicated options, which are often no longer produced, have lower power ratings (3A or 3.15A) and struggle to power USB HDDs and SSDs. I discovered that a stable 12V 3.6A power supply was essential for reliable performance, uninterrupted gaming, and protecting my equipment. Inferior products just weren’t cutting it, so I designed a superior alternative to meet the specific power needs of the Wii.

Key Features:

  • 12V 3.6A Power Supply: Ensures my Wii runs smoothly, even with external storage devices.
  • Built-In Safety Features: Includes over-current protection to keep my Wii safe.
  • Easy to Use: Plug-and-play setup with my car’s power outlet.
  • Reliable Performance: Handles the power demands of my Wii and all its functions.

Check Out the Project:

I’ve documented the end result on YouTube. You can watch it here to see how I set it up in my car.

Feedback would be great. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

Punch out isn’t working in USB Loader GX. All my other games work fine, but Punch out takes me to the homebrew channel when I click start. The file is named correctly.

usb loader gx not loading some guitarhero and rockband games?

some games showing up in the loader let's me click start but then the screen goes black and just returns me to the main menu.. i did some* research and found this post from over 5 years ago on wiihacks. someone posted this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=athlzOXf_5U video in the comments and i'm just worried about messing up my wii with something that's outdated. so i guess all i'm asking is would what that kid did in that video fix my problem? also someone who homebrewed their wii told me they had the same problem and the only one he changed was 249, but didnt say what to or anything. i was just wondering if anyone knows how to fix it on here.
thanks

Are there any HomeBrew apps to bring back dead wii channels?

I recently got into WII modding a few days ago, and I'm currently looking for a HomeBrew app to bring back dead WII channels (E.G: Check Mii Out, Forecast, News). I tried looking on many websites and YouTube videos, but nothing seemed to work!

Modded wii USB HDD -- making a backup of drive

I have a wii that was modded for me years ago and it has a USB HDD with all my games on it.  The drive has three partitions.  I believe the drive is formatted as WBFS since I can not see it when connected to my Win10 computer (without loading any additional s/w). (I've attached a couple pics...)

Additionally - I'm looking at firing up Dolphin on a new PC, most likely running Linux either Ubuntu or Mint -- and would like any USB HDD containing my games to work with that.

First goal though, I'm interested in backing up my current USB HDD w/games to a fresh USB drive and am looking for some feedback on best steps to take. :-)

A few other questions I have - in addition to making a USB HDD copy:

  1. Should I convert the existing USB HDD to fat32 or ntfs?    If so, I'd want to make sure I don't lose the games on the current drive - so should I wait to convert till after I've copied it?
  2. Which drive format does Dolphin work best with?

Thanks in advance for your feedback (and if I need to provide any additional info just let me know)!

Having some issues with USB Loader GX

I'm using a 128GB Sandisk USB Stick formatted to FAT32 and a 32GB SD Card

So first issue basically whenever I start up USB Loader all the games load in correctly except for 3, I downloaded 25 games and only 22 show up and run perfectly fine the 3 games that aren't showing up are:

Cursed Mountain, Fragile Dreams, and Hasbro Family game night 3

I put them all into folders as wbfs files renamed the folders and files themselves correctly by doing (Game name) [RQ6EJJ] then renaming the files themselves to just the ID anyone know what's going on?

My second issue is that whenever I exit a game from USB Loader to the regular Wii menu the screen turns black and the controller turns off and the Wii becomes completely unresponsive for a bit until I turn it off.

I'm very new to modding the Wii as I just modded it yesterday so if anyone can help that'd be awesome!

Will using USB Loader GX a lot damage my Wii?

Sorry if it’s a dumb question. I’ve been using USB Loader GX a lot lately, and I don’t know if it’s bad to be using it a lot. I don’t think it is, but I tend to get a bit paranoid about this type of thing.

Unable to load games

Whenever I try to load a WBFS file (using any loader app) it just gets stuck on a black screen if there's no disc inserted, otherwise it just loads the current disk. If you need any extra information, feel free to ask!

Games won't load

Hey! So I have the wii with USB Loader GX, and I load the games with Wii Backup Manager.

All seems to work perfectly, but then I click on "Start", it just restart and closes the app, going back to the homebrew channel.

I have tried both ISO and WBFS, and does the same.

Can't find a solution. Any ideas?

Internet TV streaming on WiiMC

Post got taken down from Wiihacks. Assuming it's for Piracy reasons (I didn't know it was Piracy because it's streaming for free anyways).

Is it still possible to add Internet TV on WiiMC?

I've seen people ask the question before, but they usually just get told "no" and then told to get Roku.

I know Internet TV is more complex than "dude, just put the link in the XML" too, and I'm honestly too dumb to figure this out, but I was looking through a bunch of old GBAtemp threads and stuff from back then about adding to the online media xml and they vaguely talked about getting the stream url, but it was mostly from radios.

I see videos of people using IPTV and other Internet TV, but the newest videos are a few years old and most are like 14 years old. I found a site that hosts a few live channels (freeintertv for reference) and they seem low quality enough to use on the Wii, but when I add the m3u8 to the online media xml, it's literally invisible on WiiMC. Is m3u8 not compatible? Does it have to be m3u?

Can someone who knows this sort of stuff answer my question without just saying no and telling me to get a Roku?

The Adventures of Tintin

I have searched here, on Reddit, on GBATemp, on 4PDA and in general globally on the Internet, but still I risk asking - did anyone manage to beat the protection in the game?

USBLoaderGX - hangs with black screen right after startup

WiiFlow Lite - similar

CfgUSBLoader - starts, but hangs on the cutscene after flying on an airplane through a thunderstorm at the very beginning.
