Man I can't thank you enough! I was having so much trouble with this, but after I formated my wii and started doing the tutorials from your videos, all went perfect! Always come through, with all my modded consoles so far! Thank you so much for all your work, keep it up, you da man!!
@@flinch2440 he thought it said visa demonstrating a lack of reading skill and since you didn't notice that, that also shows you have a lack of reading skill
Thank you for this guide! I had a problem launching Just Dance 2014 from USB Loader GX. Once I followed these steps and set the launch options to use IOS 250, it booted up perfectly. Also, just as others have mentioned, ignore guys like you mentioned in your video. It's important to listen to criticism, sure, but there is a difference between fair criticism and childish venting.
Hey i'm sorry for bother you but i followed this guide step by step too but i can't load USB Loader GX. Can you help me because you, you can load USB Loader GX ?
Great Video, helped lots. To anybody who is getting a black screen when trying to load games, I found that the FAT32 system worked but the NTFS one didnt.
HOW I FIXED THE NET_GETHOSTBYNAME PROBLEM: I was getting the "net_gethostbyname failed -125" or "-6" errors, and I was confused by it because my connection worked fine. Then I realized that I had been connected to the Wiimmfi servers. If you also are, go to your connection settings, and scroll until you see "Auto-obtain DNS". You might see it's on "no": change that to "yes", and go back to d2x and try again. It should work.
Followed the instructions, but when I'm supposed to select the cIOS version I only got "d2x v4", "d2x v5" and "d2x v6" as options?! Can't select "v10 beta52 d2x-v10-beta52". What's wrong? Anyone?
Guys, if only the v4, v5, v6 options are showing for you, remove you’re SD card, push the little lever/button on the side of the SD card (this unlocks the card for editing) and put it back in and try again. Install it again and the 52/53 options should be there now. :)
I got reccomended the old video, not realising there was a new video. I downloaded via the Open Shop Channel instead of via PC. I noticed last time there were 2 to install in the other video but now there's 3 so I tried the 3rd install from this one and tho it took a while on some steps of the install log, it still says that to use the disc drive, I need a Wii System Update.
Worked like a chame and fixed the loading of Metroid Trilogy on USB Loader GX. Now I can load the game just normally and choose which MP to play from within Trilogy's interface.
Please help, I have no idea why I'm unable to play my wbfs; I followed both of your videos, this one and the one for installing USB Loader, and my USB Loader sees my wbfs game and lets me open it...but it just flashes the black/grey home loading screen and then I'm back at home. Any help would really mean a lot, thanks!
Has anyone had issues with the d2x cios doesn't show up in the homebrew channel ? The sd card has the data from the d2x zip file copied over... any help would be awesome.
tbh at first i thought i broke my wii since it froze at the last install, it wouldn't reset nor turn off so i pluged everything out and pluged it back in and it's fine.
It's funny cause I used your old cios installer tutorials multiple times in the past couple of months on a few different wiis and never experienced issues, not sure what he did to fuck up
Leaving a comment in the unlikely case of help: whenever I finally try to install the first time (on the wii) it shows text saying "net_gethostbyname failed: -125" before showing the install screen again. I am connected to the internet with nothing in the USB ports; I am using an SD Card as the video instructs. All help is appreciated!
I ran into a similar error! I got it to install the first time, but the ones after it were giving me trouble until I exited the app and reloaded it. If it doesn't help you I'm sorry and you may need to check your internet connection settings
Hey James. Are you familiar with creating a custom theme for Retroarch with wallpapers and icons etc. If so it would be awesome if you could make a tutorial because I cant find one anywhere.
so i got to the part where it was downloading the ios56 metadata, and it gets stuck at getting tmd.5661 file, it then says net_unit failed and goes back to the previous screen, can you help?
Hi James, I'm getting the error of "An error has occurred. Press the Eject Button and remove the disc, then turn the Wii console off and refer to the Wii operations Manual for help troubleshooting." everytime I try to load a Wii game on WiiFlow (the loader I liked the most and my saves were there). I tried to follow these steps with no luck. Do you know any possible fix?
It seems sometimes I have to back in and out of WADS folder, installing WADS one at a time. Anyway, am I right thinking, you have to install a WAD into the Wii, then copy it to the SD card, then delete off Wii system memory if you choose? That way, you can have a ton of games on SD, instead of only a few on the small Wii system memory.
James...HELP...I installed the dx and now the wii will not find the games on the USB, at all. How can I revert to the original homebrew settings for cios?
hey so basically like at the part where you have to install i click the 200th slot and it just keeps saying failed to install and no cios were installed although i followed all of ur instructions correctly.
@@LouisZezeran thanks for your answer, yes it is but I think the connection isn‘t good enough. But now I’ve downloaded the necessary cIOS onto the sd card and now it works.
i really need your help. im in the d2x custom ios installer and followed the guide but my wii keeps saying failed to install. i am having a really hard time trying to fix this.
love your vids james, but its a little outdated (I am not being the mean guy trust me XD) basically, instead of "v10 beta53 d2x-v10-beta53-alt" you need to do "d2x-v11-beta1"
if usb loader kicks you back to homebrew when you try loading a game then maybe the problem is how you named the file on your usb. Your file should have the name 'CODE.wbfs' and should be in a folder called 'Name of Game [CODE]'. You can easily find the code for each wii game online. Mario Kart for example would have the name 'RMCE01.wbfs' and be in a folder called 'Mario Kart Wii [RMCE01]'. Hope this helped! 7
Hi Sir Tech James! Most games are freezing on 15 mins to 30 mins of playing games, am using HDD and Flash drives. What is your best solution for this issue?
Hello! Just discovered your channel. I bought an already modded Wii and decided to buy an external hard drive for Wii and Gamecube games. The Wii I got has USB loader GX but my downloaded Wii games crashes when I start them. Then it goes back to the homebrew channel. Will this fix it? I am new to this. Sorry 😅
You really should ignore guys like the guy you mentioned. Just keep doing what you're doing and keep up the good work :)

I really don't know why is this caused or how to fix it.
same issue, how did u fix it ?
@@boxloid idk man. At least I could play backups with no issues. Try to get the wads + application from somewhere else. Good luck man
It won't continue if i pressed the "A" button it is stuck the screen won't response please help :0
You might need a new controller
your ISP probably blocked the download
use the offline method
I know I am literally 5 years late and am not expecting an answer but what do I do if I cant find beta 52 as an option?
I was kind of late to the party and began working on my wii using your old guide today, guess I gotta redo it lol. Thank you for all you do James!!
This helped a lot. Thank you! I couldn't play Skyward Swords and now I can. Apparently I only had 249
I’m glad someone is making videos for this stuff. It’s not hard to do it without them but it makes it so much easier thanks.
I've seen a Tech James cIOS tutorial somewhere before... 🤔
same
what's going on if it gets stuck on the menu of the d2x? my remote turns off. only was to go back it to his the eject button on the wii.
same issue, did you find a solution ?
2022 and everything works as you stated!!!! Great video! really helpful!!!
really? how?
Thanks for making this video I was stuck before but now I got it working
only d2x v6 shows. not this v10 beta 52. I have looked everywhere and continuously people say the same things which are no help at all.

maybe you have an older version? idk really
