      @@thebaker3866 I have a 3tb Western Digital on the GameCube setup. For my Wii and Wii U I use Seagates 5tb. USB loader GX is only 2tb Max. But if you use a 3tb minimum it will give you a little more than 2tb space. They should always have their own power supply as well. It takes the load off the Wii. Hope this helps.

    Honestly i found this guide pretty hard to follow and unclear in certain areas. Im unclear on what the difference is between the games and wbsf folders is and which one to put games in or if i need to put each game in both and feel like you often bring up unnecessary points “this is for wii ware games which we will get to later/ dont worry about this we will get to it later” these parts of the script i feel break the pace and make it harder to follow the instructions. I also think it would be easier to understand if you didnt keep swapping between talking about wii games and GameCube games. If the tutorial was just about setting up the loader and downloading wii games and then after that had a section about GameCube games it would be simpler and easier for someone new to modding like me to understand. The video is still pretty good when it comes to the editing and the voice is clear.

    This was a solid guide to doing this. Obviously, he doesn’t touch upon getting roms online which is something I had to do myself.

There were a few snags I found when following this guide like him not making it clear where to download the files at the start of this video. Also, when setting up the USB channel I found that my Wii remote didn’t work there specifically. Good thing I had my GC controller to continue the process.

    Wii ISO games is an absolute nightmare. The amount of hairpulling is something extraordinary. The ios versions, the slots, the bases... It's absolutely insane how much you need to configure blindly. And you need to assign a ios for both the launcher and the individual game. If you need to use a mic, it's one certain ios, one certain slot, one certain base... If you need a skylanders device, it's a totally different one... It's horrific. And you need to restart and try over and over and over... It's a shot in the dark every time.
    Then all of a sudden loaderGX stops recognizing your hard drive, because you installed the wrong ios on the wrong slot with the wrong base. Which one was it before? Who knows? It's a never ending whirlpool of puke.

    For anyone who got stuck on the CIOS like I did; MAKE SURE THE SD CARD IS UNLOCKED!
    If you are using a microSD Card with an SD Adapter that has a lock, make sure it is UNLOCKED! The CIOS website stated certain features may not be accessible if the SD Adapter Lock is down.
    When I first tried it with the Lock down, the CIOS: v10 beta52 wouldn't show up. Instead it would top out at CIOS v6 and I couldn't for the life of me figure out why, until I checked the CIOS website. So when I unlocked the adapter, the option became available and everything was fixed!

      I was having similar issues with the Wi-Fi. The wireless card inside the Wii is ancient. You should buy a USB-ethernet adapter and plug it straight into your modem, it's super reliable and always works. You need a usb-ethernet adapter that advertises itself as compatible with the Wii. They should cost around 10USD.

    I did run into an issue where I would get a black screen while launching Wii games, and the only way out of it was to force shutdown the system. Turns out this was an issue with my 32GB Sandisk Ultra USB 3.0 flash drive.
    I solved this by using Wii Backup Manager to format the drive to wbfs, and transferring the wbfs files to the flash drive using that program. The games now work perfectly. The only issue with this is that all of my gamecube games will have to be stored on the SD card, and if I ever want to add more Wii games to the flash drive, I'll have to use Wii Backup Manager to do it. As long the games work, I'm happy. Thanks again.

  • @RandyAlanShaffer
    @RandyAlanShaffer Рік тому +9

    Thank you so much for your tutorials. These worked 100% for me on getting my Wii all setup. A couple things I've learned along the way that I found useful:
    1: If you are using a USB flash drive (I have a 2tb generic flash drive) and not a external harddrive. You have to format it to Fat32 for the whole USB flash drive for gamecube games to work. NTFS works fine for Wii games and WiiWare, but if you want Gamecube on there it has to be FAT32. This works with the Wii and WiiWare games too. Windows unfortunately is the only OS that doesn't recognize partitions on removeable media (external usb drives don't fall under this category). Maybe on Mac OS it's possible to partition both NTFS and FAT32 on the same thumb drive, just not windows. Only limitation of Fat32 is you have to split the WBFS files that are larger than 4gb.
    2. If you are having trouble converting NKT.ISO files for either Gamecube or Wii. Make sure you have Nkit1.4_FullyLoaded_2021-12-01, that way you have all the DAT files to convert and fill in missing parts of the file. Without this, you will not be able to convert either games, and you'll keep getting a Verification Failed process.
    3. This held me up forever, but I kept naming the Gamecube files "game.iso". But you really just need to name it "game". Leave out the iso part because it's already a file extension. Don't do what I did and make it "game.iso.iso" haha

    To potentially save some of you a lot of trouble name the GameCube file just “game” not “game.iso” as this guy says to do.
    If you follow him telling you name the file game.iso the file will actually end up being “game.iso.iso” and the Wii won’t find it. Because the file type being ISO is a known entity by the Wii and your computer you don’t need to name it .iso that’s just the file type.
    Ended up doing this myself knowing this because I just went on autopilot following the video and it took me DAYS to figure out why it wasn’t finding my gamecube games.

    For WiiWare, you can also put Virtual Console games and downloadable Wii Channels (like the PAL only Kirby TV Channel and the Japan only Food Delivery Channel and even the biggest Wii + Internet video channel) you can even put your custom VC inject wads on too if they work of course.
    Plus for some games you might need to change the settings (like Mario Party 9) because you may get a Region Error message, I have a PAL Wii and Japanese MP9 and changed the settings to Disc Default and Japanese and it works.
    Oh and you can also rip burned Wii and GameCube discs too, not just official.

I've been through newer and older versions of USBLGX and I keep getting the same error. That was the recommendation of other people that have had this problem. What's hilarious is that the GC games don't have any problem playing, only Wii. How can I fix this? Also, I am using a Toshiba Canvio 2TB hard drive for everything (apps and games), but of course, a SD card for NAND backups through BootMii. I just don't want to have this problem anymore.
