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. th-cam.com/video/gVDrJPi3e7w/w-d-xo.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???
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!!
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 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!
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.
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 :)
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 just wanted to say thanks... I have 3.5 framework issues and your guide is the only full one that works for me until I get that fixed. You rock

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
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 just want to say thank you for this. It worked perfectly, followed every step exactly and got my games loaded. I never did this years ago because I felt it was too complicated haha. Thanks!
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! 😁
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
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
still works as of june 2024. this channel is by far one of the best i have come across for this. found my old wii and was wanting to mod it to give some new life to it, but got so lost with other tutorials. this was by far the easiest to follow along with.
@@daytona2874 Oh yea that also confused me for a second because they changed it from the website to a google drive. The google drive IS the zip file. just go towards the top right on it and click the download button. Hope this helps!
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
@@taufiqonn538Ensure that if you are using an SD card, the lock switch is in the unlocked position, otherwise you will not be able to select the correct options in the installer.
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!
Works as of feb 2024 everything in the vid is up to date. I have never modded anything before and this worked for me so I recommend this guide for any new people🙏
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 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.

Hey i can‘t find games to download, where did you find them? Maybe I overheard it or i don’t really know but I do not have a w… folder to select and I also do not know where i can download those games…
@@timoblvck73 Once you have downloaded the games and used the Wiimanager program, once you transfer them, it will create the folder automatically. I'm sure it's not too difficult to type "wii wbfs games download" on a google search?

Did this August can confirm it worked . The only different thing is I had to watch his other video to download cios offline worked very easy . Thanks ❤
just bought a bunch off wii stuff for like 50 bucks and they gave me a wii they said didnt work because the disk drive broke. jailbroke it and used this tutorial to get more games than money can buy. great tutorial thank you!
Brooooo!!! I've watched other videos for hours. But with this tutorial you made it so easy to do and after following each and every step, i do now understand how it works. Thank you very much!! You should become a teacher hahaha lol
@@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
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.
@@_enderman8016 help.. when i clicked installing WAD,, it say : This Title wants IOS58 but the installed version is a stub. ERROR! (ret = -999) what should i do?
Ensure that if you are using an SD card, the lock switch is in the unlocked position, otherwise you will not be able to select the correct options in the installer.
Ok so it took me a minute to actually get it to work and I had to watch like 6 different TH-cam videos but at the end of the day this video was the most helpful. Really detailed and informative. There were a couple issues but at the end it seems to be working fine. 4.9/5 definitely recommend following this guide
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.
Guys i did everything he did, but the thing is where to put the games? I have an SD card. I did the letterbomb and everything is done. But in which map to put the games? He doesnt explain?
You are a fucken legend bro. I followed Blaine Locklairs video for 90% of this jailbreak but had to use your Offline Ctios install and then used this video to get my games and everything moved over. You're awesome man!
I'm so glad I found this. I came to the unfortunate discovery that the reason why my Smash Bros. Brawl disc doesn't work anymore (but my other games still do), is because it's a dual layer disc. And apparently over time the disc drive just stops reading those... UPDATE: Pleased to report that as of 2/25/24, this video is still up-to-date. Very happy I was able to get Brawl running again since my Wii no longer reads the disc.
To be honest i just love it thanks for the tutorial now i can play without those Disk problems , even tho the downloads will take long but i am patient , so i appreciate it

Brooooo!!! I've watched other videos for hours. But with this tutorial you made it so easy to do and after following each and every step, i do now understand how it works. Thank you very much!! You should become a teacher hahaha lol
that is amazing to hear! I try to balance showing important details of the process, but not too many so it takes forever :P I appreciate your comment!
@funkyscott47 how do i get the game files?
@@duccoboi can't say on TH-cam, join my discord
its literally june 17, and it still works!! thanks funkyscott!!
i cant reach the site of Wii Backup Manager
did you figure it out?
why is mine said tcp connect timeout
It could be an internet issue, but I also downloaded some .wad files from NUS Downloader. You can get the info from cIOS installation guide online.
Did you figure it out, I have the same problem :(

Awesome video! Thanks for clearly explaining the steps needed! My 6 year old and i are having a blast!

Usb loader doesnt start. The channel crashes and in the homebrew channel it freezes my wii
Same!
@@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
Mine too
I keep getting tcp connect timeout but im connected to internet
Same bro, do u find the solution??
Same
Anyone got a solution?
@@idkisrandom6432 i found one, try the offline tutorial
Do the offline method where you download the wad files manually
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
No kidding, I'm French and I don't speak English very well, but the quality of the tutorial is great. And it works very well too. Thanks a lot !
the minecraft background is class, im dying laughin, imma sub, love that camping video too keep it up bro.
I have no “covers” option in backup manager
Me neither have you found a solution
same here, does anyone know what to do?
I keep tcp_connect timeout when trying to install the custom ios
Same issue I wonder if anyone has figured it out
@@Zinsation you have not connected to the internet. had the same issue. use the offline installer
@@_enderman8016 help..

This Title wants IOS58 but the installed version is a stub.
ERROR! (ret = -999)

What if I can’t find d2x-v11-beta1 on my wii as an option for the cIOS settings?
I am having the same problem, not sure what to do. Tried using d2x-v6 instead but my wii is stuck on “downloading ios56 metadata” for slot 249
@@phoebejackson4083did you guys find a solution?
i have the same problem :(
Ensure that if you are using an SD card, the lock switch is in the unlocked position, otherwise you will not be able to select the correct options in the installer.
@@naku-- what if youre using an external hardrive instead of an sd card but have the same problem?
Great guide! Simple and to the point. Thanks man you are making the modding experience way more fun for many people ❤️
Ok so it took me a minute to actually get it to work and I had to watch like 6 different TH-cam videos but at the end of the day this video was the most helpful. Really detailed and informative. There were a couple issues but at the end it seems to be working fine. 4.9/5 definitely recommend following this guide
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.
Working as of 8/8/2024, however cios installer had to be done offline even with a wifi connection on the wii.
i've had that happen with some wii's so i usually get the offline wads anyway now :P
wait really? maybe thats why my cios installer dosent work
does anyone know how to fix tcp connect timeout 13:44
Samee, do u fix it?
Tried this in August 2024 and yes it still works. Great video.
Hey guys, 09/24 and is still working!! Thanks man!
It’s failing on all of my cios installs
same here
You'll have to install all 4 wads manually, just search up the guide, it's really easy.
I keep getting a black screen
same but i waited and it worked
How long did you wait?@@Bennyboyblue121
Why don’t you answer anyone back?
Vid is 1 year old what are you on about?
Because you aren't the main character
He awnsered me back
Guys i did everything he did, but the thing is where to put the games? I have an SD card. I did the letterbomb and everything is done. But in which map to put the games? He doesnt explain?
@@rogerchaybeh9361 I think u have to put on the usb
I am in tears. So many games I wished that I had as a kid. You are a saint, good sir.
You are a fucken legend bro. I followed Blaine Locklairs video for 90% of this jailbreak but had to use your Offline Ctios install and then used this video to get my games and everything moved over. You're awesome man!
Glad I could help!
@@funkyscott47 also you should know that the link you used in the video for the themes website dose not work.
Like this comment for good luck
Agreed bro

Light mode is cleaaner
@@smshahalol there is no way you are a real person
@@Goodguy12366 it just looks better in light mode 🤷♂️ i use dark mode for night time
can someone link or tell me where to get the games from
I used reddit

All of these guides have been the most helpful thing out there for wii modding thanks!
This was a perfect video. I’ve been able to turn my Wii into a homebrew beast. 👍🏾
where can i download Games from? or will the wbfs file automatically be there??
this worked for me effortlessly! THANK YOU!!
Well, it worked. Thanks a lot bro. Now I will enjoy playing with my family.
Thanks! I had to use Wii flow since USBLGX was not loading any of my games. Still, great tutorial!
I'm so glad I found this. I came to the unfortunate discovery that the reason why my Smash Bros. Brawl disc doesn't work anymore (but my other games still do), is because it's a dual layer disc. And apparently over time the disc drive just stops reading those...
UPDATE:
Pleased to report that as of 2/25/24, this video is still up-to-date. Very happy I was able to get Brawl running again since my Wii no longer reads the disc.
Did it in may 2024 and it works. Thanks
i didnt get it to work??
This worked extremely well and was stress free. THANKSSS!!
july 2024 first time at modding and it was so quick and simple thank you so much
Thanks a lot bro!
