Thanks for the guide! This holiday I modded my Wii U and using your help I now can play my entire Wii U, Wii and Gamecube library without needing the discs. Very nice! Happy holidays!
the amount of work I've had to go through just to play the absolute banger that is barnyard for the wii is mental but I'm so glad I've finally succeded
Hey, so I followed the video instructions, but now I'm stuck because the USB loader GX isn't detecting my USB. It's the same USB I use for my Wii U games. Could that be the problem?
What if I did all of my homebrewing on an sd card, but want to place all my games on sdd drive? How do i setup sdd drive, besides formatting it to FAT32? Which files should be placed on it?
You need an Y Cable usb adapter. One usb goes in the back of the wii u, the other usb in a power socket, and the other cable goes in ur ssd. Thats literally it.
I have a problem, which is I can't get games on the SD card to show up properly. The games already on the console are showing up, but the games in the wbfs aren't appearing. One possible issue is when I was doing the CIOS stuff, I downloaded one of the three things as alt, and then afterward I downloaded all three as normal, and maybe the normal one didn't replace the alt one and might need to be deleted? IDK.
It seems that USB Loader GX is checking USB and the SDcard without need to press a button first. I had the same problem and the fix is to change the Loader Mode. (it's the right symbol next to the searchbar with ABC symbol in the top row.) There you uncheck NAND Channels and check Wii Games. Then the games showed up from the SDcard!
Love your videos! Just wanted to say… the Wii Game names DO NOT have to have the Title ID in them. By default…. WiiBackUpManager likes to put the Title ID in the Game Name when it copies it over. I’ve always hated that! You can change the default “naming style” in WiiBackupManager before you start moving an entire library around. Just check your settings and preferences and set it as you prefer. If you go the Manual route as you outlined… any name will do. So long as you know what to pick. It’s good to have standards when it comes to file names as no one wants 2,000 games all sorted by title id. 😂 Keep up the great work! Love the channel.
When i go to the yawmME app and tried to install the USB Loader GX-UNEO but it keeps coming back with ERROR! (ret = 0). It does show in the video as being 2.74MB but on my Wii U it shows as 0.00MB. Any help would be appreciated.
the games are installed on my sd card on my wii u via the wii transferring tool, but they still are not showing in usbloadergx? I made sure to check if wii games were checked and they were but aren't showing. I also tried to go into the setting and no SD card mode was there at all. It says 0 out of 0gb free so is usb loader just not recognizing the sd card?
Is there a reason why clicking Nintendont directly will recognize an HDD enclosure, but not USBLoader GX? My custom path is set to usb:/games but it will never load anything. Doesn’t even recognize Wii games either. I assume my enclosure probably isn't compatible but it isn't on the list as it is a cheap Chinese one, but my original Wii with the same setup has no issues reading it so it makes no sense.
Does the game go on the hard drive or the sd card? When I tried to put it on the hard drive the Wii U couldn’t recognize the hard drive unless it was formatted and the sd card doesn’t show the game when I put it there
It's a shame we can't play the Pokémon Core series games on the Wii U. After an extensive search, my only option is to buy a 3DS from my cousin to play the early-generation games. I want to play all the generations through the latest, excluding the Switch ones, for which I own the console and bought Pokémon Shield years ago.
Okay so my USB loader gx used to work on my vwii on my wii u i haven't touched my wii u in about a year. I pulled it out and plugged it in today and now my wii games wont load. It goes to a black screen then it boots me back to the vwii menu. I need help getting this to work again please. Any help is appreciated
Do you have a video or a workaround when using 2 HDDs (one for wii U one for vwii) when the Wii U one is plugged in Usb Loader GX freezes on initializing devices... can anyone help?
Dude.. Wtf.. This is exactly what I am trying to resolve! I found that a few times once I load into wii and load USB loader from there it worked. But I was trying to configure the USB loader gx and now even that stopped 😮😢
@@mustang. it's driving me nuts... for some people it works flawlessly. do you think it's a software or hardware issue? Are you using y cable with external power?

I followed your instructions and it seemed to work perfectly, but after booting up kirby's return to dream land and selecting a save file, there was a black screen. the other games I've tried out work fine. do you know what might be going wrong here?

Some games have an issue where when you boot them up they end up in just a black or green screen and you can´t turn off your console, you can only unplug it, some games like this are Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 and also Pikmin 1 and 2, I don´t know how to fix it, do you have any clue?
I’ve had an issue where everytime I load into USB loader GX where it’ll say “usb drive not found” and I have to switch it back to SD card, but for some reason it resets it and doesn’t save it every time I load into USB loader and I have to go back into setting and switch from USB to SD every time I log onto it.
Thanks for the amazing tutorial , i just have a quick question. I follow the entire tutorial and install everything , but i installed two digital games and two Disk format games... And only worked for 1 and 1 , i mean that for one of my disk format game put a black screen and for one digital happes the same but a green screen. And for thw other 2 games work perfectly , can you help me about that pal?
How do i get a external HDD to initialize with USBloaderGX? Ive tried everything and cannot get it to work. Yes CIOS is installed, yes patchedios80 is installed, yes ive tried both USB ports for both plugs and yes im using a Y splitter cable, but no matter what i cannot get games to load up, wether i go in from a forwarder or straight from the HB menu. I didnt have this issue when i did my wii games on my actual wii but the wii u is giving me issues...
Ive somewhat figured it out.

Is there any way to fix this?
