I have a black Wii with 4 ports for gamecube controllers, 2 gamecube memory cards, and 2 USB slots. I got USB loader GX with games working, and now when GF puts in Just Dance 2 the system says it needs an update. Will this update bork the Wii? If so, what's the solution?
Also can't get the Gamecube games on the USB drive to work. I have the USB drive formatted to 32Mb. Not sure what I did wrong but it's possible Dios Mios didn't get installed.
^^ there's your combo right there, JD & GF + tech, a stupid idea. :PQuote:

if so, it's just a game update specific.
still, play it safe and knock off the online functions of the games, give the console another set of dns gateway settings, something that looks outside nintendo to the real world.
usbloaderGX.
that's a multiple stage item, first off it's for wii games, then it uses apps internally, nintendon't, devolution and dios. (mios)
you must have had one or three of those sub-apps. (that are standalone, GX can use them in tandem)
look at GX settings, you will have to direct the frontend toward the ngc loaders, and other stuff related.
good luck, and ignore at your leisure, i expect nothing here. :D
I'm not very familiar with softmod stuff, but is it possible to dump the game?
^^ :?
yes, look up 'cleanrip 2.0.0 by emu_kidid' on the web, not attaching it here.
it's an app that uses the wii disk drive to dump the games clean 1/1 retail.
the usb loaders strip the update away.
yes, it can be done easy. :P
[edit]
both ngc and wii retails. :D
[again]
if the dump downloaded is a-1 the same by hash, all is well. :P
Correct. The Wii disc channel icon is where the message is displayed first. Message is "Wii System Update".Quote:

Correction: I have USB Loader GX on the Wii but it is not the main program I use for games on USB. Main program is Configurable USB Loader, in which my GC games are not displayed.
I can find the GC games in the USBLoaderGX but they don't run. I get a black screen when I try to play them.
Haven't found where to change these settings in my softmod apps. Is this in the Wii system menus?Quote:

try scrubbing all custom settings back to factory defaults, or a clean install.
and back on the disk, i overlooked some of those shits have sneaky da$hboard updates (faschbaord) but the game can be loaded still by denying the req.
also, uslbloaders of most kinds can boot a retail disk as if it was the legit wii frontend anyway.
again, refer to the GX settings, and have it bypass any updates from the disk and/or installed game. :P
...
you will know if it's a da$h update req, nuke it.
Is this thread serious? :squint:Quote:

enter dns gateway values now.
don't forget to backtrack in that connection setup to be sure other details are filled in. :D
Blarg.
Very simple: Open USB Loader GX, on the top Nav bar the icon on the far right is a disc, and the game will launch without updates from there.
Yeah, man. I haven't played around with it much since I don't want to brick the Wii, so I have not experimented with ripping games or a lot of the other options. And I really don't want to move around a bunch of games until I get tired of what I have.Quote:

USB Loader GX can rip directly to your USB Device from the disc drive. though 32 GB is rathe r small and guessing it is Flash Memory, that has a lower compat than a HDD, though if I remember it is fixable
GameCube games do require a GC engine but Dios Mios is out of date now, you really want Nintendont instead
Once you do you do need to setup USB Loader to use the correct path and setting to be able to use Nintendont correctly
Not sure iff it is still a requirement but USB used to need to be formatted as Fat32 with 32 clusters
P.S. Just Dance Games are fun :P
P.P.S. you may want to update the USB Loader to the latest build (ignoring the stable releases so look at beta builds or nightly releases whatever they called it for USB Loader GX)
Playing online is perfectly safe by the way
EDIT:- I use USB Loader GX for everything and all from USB, but I use a 2TB USB drive with it so have plenty of space
From USB I play
Wii
GC
The few arcade games based on GC hardware (I forget what it's called)
WiiWare (Including Virtual Console)
Emulators (There are plenty of them)
Other Homebrew, including ports ect
Save games are also stored on USB
The Wii Nand is too small for what I have on there even just for the saves, even GC games can use a virtual memcard, though not sure that works with every game
I don't even use the SD card slot, only used it to first install the exploit as everything including the USB loader can run from USB, providing you use a Forwarder
My Wii Nand only has two items asides from the default ones, being the USB Loader forwarder (It's a generic one that works with any USB Loader providing you use the paths it outlines) and I have the Homebrew Channel and a bunch of old saves
