    Unhappy [WARNING] Just Dance 2018 USB Loader virus.

    Hey all.

    TLDR Do not download Just Dance 2018. It keeps your USB stick from being read by ANY USB Loader.

    I have played on my modded Wii for a while now. I've never faced any issues until recently. I decided to get myself Just Dance 2018 Wii on my USB. The main issue is that after I plugged my USB in, my USB loaders stopped recognizing my USB. It still reads games and my SD card, so it is not bricked.
    I didn't worry, since I have multiple Wii's in my home and decided to mod my other (unmodded) Wii. After a week of it fully working without any issues, I tried downloading Just Dance 2018 again. Once again my USB Loader stopped reading my USB stick.

    Before anyone asks, I usually used USB Loader GX, but also tried using WiiFlow, and Configurable USB Loader after GX stopped working due to the game.

    Also I tried multiple USB sticks of multiple sizes and brands. None of them worked. It is definitely not my USB stick. It is Just Dance 2018.

    Do any of your other games work, or is it Just Dance that is affected?

    I know this isn't the same game, but maybe it's the same issue.

    None of my games work since none of them can be even seen, since USB loader doesn't recognize any USB in my usb port. Its not the black screen issue. My USB loader claims it cant find the USB stick and counts down from 20 to wait until I put in the HDD.

    A friend of mine who used to be in the Wii Modding community years back thinks that Just Dance messes with the CIOS. However I looked that over and reinstalled some stuff, and it had 0 effect.

    To put it in simpler terms, despite there is 0 further info on it, my USB slots are literally bricked.

    Have you tried to start the loader then attach the HDD while the countdown timer is on screen? Are you using a portable HDD, or a wall powered HDD? Have you tried to re-mod the affected Wii?

    Did you make a NAND backup when you did the softmod? If so, you can restore from that.
