Seems like many of you are having issues with CIOS Installer. Here is my offline guide for that part so you do not have to depend on the connection. ua-cam.com/video/gVDrJPi3e7w/v-deo.html
Used that offline video guide and it worked perfectly. These videos are great, super easy to follow and informative at the same time. You're interesting to learn from.
im doing it now too and im wondering how do i get the games to even begin with, in other words: where/how do i get the games i want to have on my wii usb loader???
This worked wonderfully for me though I had some issues, but I figured out how to fix them. Incase anybody is wondering I’m using a red edition wii with wii motion plus and it still worked out perfectly fine. At the part where you install usb loader gx I wrote in the wrong “codes” at first but I just wrote in the right after. Anyways this is definitely worth the struggle because when you’re done you can fill a whole library of different games, for free!
I don't have a Computer & SD Card,(yet) so even though i couldn't follow this guide in the sense that i'm doing what you're doing, i could still tell that this was an AMAZING guide! Thank you SO much for all of your guides, you're helping out the Wii community much more than you might know! 😁
I done everything as per the video, and all worked fine. But when I went to add more games, using the same methods, they don't show up in USB loader gx, only the other games do. Very frustrating.
Watched even though your previous tutorials got me setup with Homebrewing and enjoying my Wii a couple months ago. I've been adding many games to my library and it's a labor of love but so satisfying to scroll through and being able to try new-to-me games while revisiting my childhood favorites is awesome. Thank you, Scott!! Have an awesome weekend! 🎮
Sorry but have some more question. When I have the Wad on the SD card and not on the usb drive, does it matter? And are there any themes that can brick my console? And can the Wii recognise a 64 GB USB-Stick?
@@Hue_like12 WADS work just fine on SD cards. I haven't messed with actual Wii themes but I've read that you can definitely brick your system if you don't do it properly. And finally, USB sticks are usable but not the best option. I've read that they're very likely to become corrupted. I started out with an SD card but upgraded to a 1TB external hard drive. Works amazingly and I have more than enough space for all the games I could want. I only keep the SD card in my system for wads, game saves and channels.
@@Lev427 Follow the guide, I don't even remember the whole process but I followed one of Scott's earlier guides and I got it. It takes time, lots of downloading and placing files, external storage and patience!
I had the same error but U can fix it by using offline mode he has a video on how to download d2x cIOS offline by downloading the wads and putting then in the root of the SD card or usb search his video
Where did you get the games from? Because I just found the Video and I wanna try it ( I‘m not the best at things like that) he already has like two games to setup. But i did not see where they are from
I had a butt load of disc games a few years ago, I lend them to a friend and he gave them to his aunt who had a wii, I asked for them back but he said they sold them to whomever, It was very devastating but it doesn't matter at this point for me because I have just went through step by step with this amazing video and let me say, you're a life savior. I wouldn't have trusted any other video then this one. everything worked great, smooth, got my games back, cover and gosh I can't express how thankful I am for this video!!
Hi. I have used an SD card for all the installation apps, and I used a flashdrive for the games, but the games doesn't appear on the loader. Should the loader be able to read the games from the USB? If yes, what possibly could I have done wrong? Is there a system or path I need to adjust? Thanks much.
@@Rachel-qc3dkFor me I just used my other Wii to make it work. I think I did this tho, I went into homebrew and then loaded up the usb loader gx and then went into settings and enabled sd card mode and then plugged my usb back in and restarted the usb loader gx
I just finished modding my Wii yesterday from your previous video. You have no clue how stoked I was to see you posted an updated one. Love your channel. Subbed right away!
Just wanted to comment this down here: About a couple weeks ago I followed this tutorial and it worked ...for a couple weeks. A problem I had overtime was my apps not loading in homebrew channel or outside of the homebrew channel. Thankfully just unplugging and plugging the USB back in and restarting works. Though one day the apps just, didn't appear no matter what I did. The USB being used seemed to be unformatted and I had to redo the entire process. I've done it about three times, everything works except for USB Loader GX just freezing at "Reinitializing Devices" on start-up resulting in me not being able to use it. I'll most likely edit this if I find out a solution
@@melvin_pictures6598 Figured out the solution. I followed Lima112s video, pretty sure the video language is Portuguese so I'll try to explain how to do it here. What I did was backup what was on my USB to another folder that isn't on my USB (apps, wad, etc,.) and used an application from the site rufus,ie (replace , with .) I reformatted the USB with these settings: Non Bootable Boot Selection, Volume Label 32 GB, File System FAT32, and Cluster Size 32 kilobytes. After formatting I pasted my backup for apps, wad, etc, back into the USB and everything seems to be working properly now after plugging it into my Wii. I'm not sure if you need to redownload the cIOS and other stuff but I'm able to get into USB Loader GX with this
I keep getting a black screen everytime I try to play a game, can anyone help with this? I watched tons of tutorials and can’t figure out why it’s doing that
Very nice. I can tell you're growing as a content creator. All ur tutorials are good but the ones this year show a lot of refinement to the style and they're even more helpful than before. Thanks a lot for your efforts. Really good stuff 👍🏾
I followed your guide perfectly but for some reason my games won't load? I can see the pictures and press play but then get a black screen my wii games are saved on a USB using wbfs format
I have had this issue. Here is a few reasons why this may occur Is there any spaces between the game ID and the ".wbfs" file. Did you get the correct region game ID Did you definitely check you got the right game ID.
I want to thank youfor this informative tutorial and it has worked on my Wii! I tried to install USB Loader (non-GX) roughly 10 years ago but failed because whenever I tried to install things with the d2x installer and others but it has always failed. Couldn't find workarounds or solutions back then. Either way, it finally works. The necessary files to install were on my SD card, WBFS files were on my USB drive. Just a pro tip for others: you can use a cheap 512GB USB drive for your games :)
@@leenaiqbal6928 i got it working after i only used an sd card. I got 128gb and then formatted it to fat32 and now usb loader works with games and no problems thus far
Could anyone tell me a website or url where I can download titles and how to do so? I’ve finished every step and launched everything but now have no games to play.
i dont know i did everything word for word and when i load up usbloader on wii it just shows me my normal stuff (UPDATE:) THIS WORKS MAY 2024. YOU HAVE TO FILTER IN THE WII GAMES ON USBLOADER IF USING A SD CARD.
"Exception (DS1)..." and then a bunch of code when i try loading my HDD in the homebrew channel. My HDD is a WD my passport 2Tb in FAT32. I watched your video so many times and im 99% i did it correctly 😂 but i couldn't even start anything lol any ideas would be great! Thank you!
Excellent tutorial and very thorough. I'll probably tackle this project this week.. I've got one question however, is the process the same for adding GameCube and WiiWare games? Or are they not possible to add to USB Loader GX?
Hey Scott, I have a external hard drive which has tons of games and I have the usb gx loader and wii homebrew channel on my wii but when I click on these channels it takes me back to the menu and it shows that I have internet but nothing shows up on the home brew channel.
Excellent tutorial! Thank you for the premade SD card files, just made life easier, and really glad it included the d2x cIOS v11 beta 1, managed to just format my previously softmodded Wii again with all the new cIOS :) Worked perfectly

thanks bro, loved the tutorial and was easy to follow just saved me a trip to the techstore to get a USB I thought I had lost my money buying a 32 gigs sd card
I'm not sure why but whenever i get to a certain dialogue in Super Paper Mario the game makes that lobotomy crash noise and it freezes. All the other games work, and they are all downloaded from the same source.

Thanks! Amazing walkthough. Got all my kiddo's games on a flash drive so they are nice and backed up, for when they inevitably scratch them. I picked one of the flash drives you recommended.
that is amazing to hear! Also very smart to protect your discs but not limit the fun for them :) Thank you so much for the tip as well, I'm glad you found my guide useful! Happy Gaming to you and your children :D
14:08 install taking long time. Is that normal? Edit: unplugged wii and turned it back on. i installed everything the second time with no problems. idk what happened
Hey Scott, I was doing great and everything was going smoothly, but for some reason, when I try to use the Wii Backup Manager, my files don't appear. I've tried using an SD and USB both, and even tried deleting and redownloading the Backup Manager, but still can't figure out where I went wrong. Great video, any response would be greatly appreciated.
I was able to get Backup Manager to work on one game. I checked to make sure it worked on the Wii, it did, went back to download and transfer other games to my SD card and I'm having the same issue. No games show up on my drives, except the one game that works. Just when I thought I had it figured out!
@@taliabaker3259 make sure the files for the game within the wbfs folder have been extracted. This can be achieved by left-clicking on the folder for the game and selecting Extract All. Hopefully this can help you out.
for some reason after following your wii mod setup i cannot get it to launch (it sees them) wii games off the usb drive. mind you that drive worked on the wii consoles i had modded prior to this new version of the mod (using d2x with beta1). gamecube games launch no issues. and if i play from an sd card it has no issues. just specifically wii games from usb
I've got the same problem and still its not working. The Games will not launch and i can't figure out why :( I followed step by step exactly how it was explained...
@@Devillsgaming i finally figured out the setting bud, thought id pass it along. solved today 9/17/2023 go to usbloader gxand make sure to TURN OFF SD card Mode in the "hard drive settings" tab. for some reason it wont read from both usb OR sd card.
What do I do if my controller turns off when entering the homebrew channel and I can't turn it back on? That's all that's stopping me from being able to play
Hi , Thank you very much for this turtorial. I followed every step but when I tried to load USB loader GX it shows blank screen. How do I fix this. Many thanks.
I bought a second hand wii out of nostalgia and thanks to your guide is up and running! I noticed the themes website you mentioned is down, that's a bummer :/ You are awesome!
Hey, it worked well, and I had fun with it. But the themes and the covers aren’t really working. It says “no themes found” for the themes. Do you maybe know why? Also in the covers tab, it only shows the wbfs folder and I can’t figure it out. Please help Edit: I GOT IT TO WORK! Basically I just moved the theme and cover files to the game usb
Depends on how u done it. Well for my GameCube games I do this I download the isos check dolphin to see if it works and dolphin will show the game id and then in the games folder make a folder of your game and add your id and inside that folder should be your game it will have the game name as the iso file for example Mario sunshine iso change this and call it game and then it should be good as it will show up then
There is a certain way to set them up, and Wii backup manager makes it much much easier and streamlined. It also avoids people wondering why their games don't work after setting them up themselves and not doing it right
If I already have homebrew and usb loader gx installed without a usb drive with games, do I need to just redo the whole process or can I just put games onto the usb and plug and play? Also if I get a usb do I need to redo the cios or no?
I tried this, and the Wii isn’t detecting my USB, YAWMM mod doesn’t detect my usb and won’t install in any of the ports, and ULGX doesn’t detect any of my games, but somehow it let me install cios the first time I plugged it in. I don’t know what is going on, if anyone knows what happened with my system please let me know
So my sd card that has usb loader gx plays games but my usb even if fat32 format with a wbsf folder and games with the game id aren’t working for some reason.

thanks bro, loved the tutorial and was easy to follow just saved me a trip to the techstore to get a USB I thought I had lost my money buying a 32 gigs sd card
I cant get the wii back up manger since it is in a google dock
Same
I'm not sure why but whenever i get to a certain dialogue in Super Paper Mario the game makes that lobotomy crash noise and it freezes. All the other games work, and they are all downloaded from the same source.
Thanks! Amazing walkthough. Got all my kiddo's games on a flash drive so they are nice and backed up, for when they inevitably scratch them. I picked one of the flash drives you recommended.
that is amazing to hear! Also very smart to protect your discs but not limit the fun for them :) Thank you so much for the tip as well, I'm glad you found my guide useful! Happy Gaming to you and your children :D
when i tried to get wii backup manger it didnt give me a zipped folder it just gave me one file
@@Thecrafter4 as long as you can run the program, I had to find a different download link
I could not run it
I just did this last night, March 2024 and still worked on the first try👍🏻 thank you champ🎉 happy modding
I just failed yesterday trying it with 2 different sd cardsand 1 usb stick... still troubleshooting
Dude, Thank you SO MUCH!!! Im gonna enjoy this alot when i get a Wii in a week or so!
14:08 install taking long time. Is that normal? Edit: unplugged wii and turned it back on. i installed everything the second time with no problems. idk what happened
Had the same problem. Plugging out the power and following the steps again and went on with no problem😎
What does Fat32 mean? Can I have a larger space usb and still have it as Fat32?
Yes you can theoretically you can use up to 2 TB drive with FAT32 on wii
Thanks LOVED it Lets Get You 20K!!
Wooo thank you!!
Hey Scott, I was doing great and everything was going smoothly, but for some reason, when I try to use the Wii Backup Manager, my files don't appear. I've tried using an SD and USB both, and even tried deleting and redownloading the Backup Manager, but still can't figure out where I went wrong. Great video, any response would be greatly appreciated.
Same problem :(
@@EmBre-p7o Let me know if you find any way to fix it!
I was able to get Backup Manager to work on one game. I checked to make sure it worked on the Wii, it did, went back to download and transfer other games to my SD card and I'm having the same issue. No games show up on my drives, except the one game that works. Just when I thought I had it figured out!
@@taliabaker3259 make sure the files for the game within the wbfs folder have been extracted. This can be achieved by left-clicking on the folder for the game and selecting Extract All. Hopefully this can help you out.
for some reason after following your wii mod setup i cannot get it to launch (it sees them) wii games off the usb drive. mind you that drive worked on the wii consoles i had modded prior to this new version of the mod (using d2x with beta1). gamecube games launch no issues. and if i play from an sd card it has no issues. just specifically wii games from usb
I've got the same problem and still its not working. The Games will not launch and i can't figure out why :( I followed step by step exactly how it was explained...
@@Devillsgaming i finally figured out the setting bud, thought id pass it along. solved today 9/17/2023 go to usbloader gxand make sure to TURN OFF SD card Mode in the "hard drive settings" tab. for some reason it wont read from both usb OR sd card.
Same bro
What do I do if my controller turns off when entering the homebrew channel and I can't turn it back on?
That's all that's stopping me from being able to play
that happens to me too😕
charge it
Hi , Thank you very much for this turtorial.
I followed every step but when I tried to load USB loader GX it shows blank screen.
How do I fix this.
Many thanks.
I was trying to figure out the softmodding and i found out that you made a new video 35 minutes ago dudeee thank you so much!!!
Perfect timing!!
@@funkyscott47 i couldnt do this with the other video because the d2x_v_10x_beta wasnt there. But i finally did it with this video!
@@funkyscott47 Can you make a video about copying big game files? Because it gave me an error trying to download smash bros...
I keep getting a black screen
same but i waited and it worked
How long did you wait?@@Bennyboyblue121
I bought a second hand wii out of nostalgia and thanks to your guide is up and running! I noticed the themes website you mentioned is down, that's a bummer :/ You are awesome!
Hey, it worked well, and I had fun with it. But the themes and the covers aren’t really working. It says “no themes found” for the themes. Do you maybe know why? Also in the covers tab, it only shows the wbfs folder and I can’t figure it out. Please help
Edit: I GOT IT TO WORK!
Basically I just moved the theme and cover files to the game usb
it says "tcp_connect timeout" in the Cios part, can someone tell me why¿
Check the pinned comment
can someone link or tell me where to get the games from
I used reddit
use "The Vault"
@@not_smart_and_not_a_toywhere?
Why do my games just not show up
Depends on how u done it. Well for my GameCube games I do this I download the isos check dolphin to see if it works and dolphin will show the game id and then in the games folder make a folder of your game and add your id and inside that folder should be your game it will have the game name as the iso file for example Mario sunshine iso change this and call it game and then it should be good as it will show up then
How can I add a second player, I want to play Wii Party :(
Its stuck on the cios installer where it says "press any button to continue" im pressing but nothings happening can anyone help
I have my game download to my (D:) But its not showing on the wii manager
Make sure your Wii game is wbfs format
@@loveandsin9626 how do I do that
when i try to play them it just brings me ro the homebrew menu help plz
Hey I know You're live right now But how do I fix cios freeze 🍬
Where do you download the games. I don’t have back up games to transfer over. Or I’m dumb 🤦♂️
im at the cios base part its not even loading or moving
idk but i followed the video to the T so far
I'm getting TCP Connect timeout on the cIOS install part, any idea why?
Can someone help
so the cios website isn't loading but every other website I go to loads fine
My USB loader gets stuck at reinitializing. Any work around ?
Is this at the 16:07 mark in the video for you? If so, same here
Why do we need to use the Wii manager to transfer the wbfs files, why can't we just copy paste them into the usb?
There is a certain way to set them up, and Wii backup manager makes it much much easier and streamlined. It also avoids people wondering why their games don't work after setting them up themselves and not doing it right
My d2x cios is trippen, it makes my controller flash and never connects
If I already have homebrew and usb loader gx installed without a usb drive with games, do I need to just redo the whole process or can I just put games onto the usb and plug and play? Also if I get a usb do I need to redo the cios or no?
I tried this, and the Wii isn’t detecting my USB, YAWMM mod doesn’t detect my usb and won’t install in any of the ports, and ULGX doesn’t detect any of my games, but somehow it let me install cios the first time I plugged it in. I don’t know what is going on, if anyone knows what happened with my system please let me know
So my sd card that has usb loader gx plays games but my usb even if fat32 format with a wbsf folder and games with the game id aren’t working for some reason.
I figured it out wasn’t switching to usb on usb loader gotta hit one on the Wii remote and switch
just asking but can this work on a chromebook?
For some reason it won’t read the games on my sd. It loads usb loader and the other stuff but it won’t recognize that the games are there
i Have the same problem, did u find the solution?
@@diegovalentini3982 I havent
@@diegovalentini3982 gonna try re installing the games on it
Still works as of 20th August 2024!
This video in my opinion is the only helpful guide to mod a wii so im very grateful that this video exists
Dont know if anyone is having the same problem but the second link in the google doc is broken
I followed all of the steps, but when I tried booting into New Super Mario Bros. Wii, it just stays at a black screen. What should I do?
I think im stupid but where do i get the free games from?
Can i enter my CDs and play it with the hack ?
or i must uninstall every thing to play cd game?
please answer 🙏
Yes you can
