Well if you explain what your problem is exactly we will tell you as being clairvoyant isn't one of our strong points.
This thread won't homebrew anything its about USB Loader GX on a 4.3E. Again we need more details of what your trying to do?

No problems, great
it still doesn't work for me
it just keeps coming with a black screen when i try to install it in the homebrew channel
Install what in the Homebrew Channel, more info needed?
You need to post a sysCheck report as instructed so we can see if anything is missing.

It looks like there are just to many options and very few simple solutions. The problem with choice is it just confuse me![]()
Welcome to DK.
Options on what please elaborate?

Well I added USB Loader GX v3.0 last week which I mentioned in another thread. I didn't like it at first because it didn't show the normal spinning disc. I read the changes to v3.0 and you can select to see the spinning belt in the settings. I tried it on half a dozen games and it works the same as the last version.

Let's hope this works, trying now
INSTALLATION - STEP 1
With the first file you download please extract it to your computer somewhere you can find it easy.
You will see there is 3 directories:
Wii Backup Manager
Extract to USB Device
Extract to SD Device
Ok copy your existing (if any) files from your SD card somewhere safe so if you need them you can easily get them back, and then either delete the files or format the SD card.
Now with a blank SD card please copy the contents of Extract to SD Device folder to your SD card once you have done this you should have the following folders on your SD CARD:
apps
wads
Place the SD into your wii fire up the homebrew channel and you should have WAD MANAGER 1.5 in view (if not please check your SD card for the folders above).
Go into the wad manager 1.5 and do the following:
- Select IOS version to use: [IOS249], Press A.
- Select NAND Emulation device [disable], Press A.
- Select source device: [Wii SD Slot], Press A.
- Go to USBLoaderCFG_NForwarder-UCXF-Channel, press A.
- Select action: [install wad], press A.
- Come out of WAD Manager 1.5
Now you have just installed the USB LOADER that we will be using later to play your backup games via your USB HDD - This is a channel on your wii menu.
INSTALLATION - STEP 2
Now the Loader has been installed you need to install the file system onto the USB device (usb storage HDD) to prepare for your backup games to run from the USB drive.
If you are using vista or a version of windows that only supports you formatting you external hard drive in exFAT or NTFS then you will need the second file I posted above to format your machine to the correct FAT32 file system.
OK format your Drive (external HDD) to FAT32 please.
Now your drive is FAT32 you are ready to extract your files onto your external drive (USB Device)
Copy the "Extract to USB Device" folder directly to the root of your external drive.
Your Drive is now ready to install your backup games directly using the special software we will detail below.
INSTALLATION - STEP 3
We are now going to do the preparation of the ISO's (backup games) so that you can install them onto your USB Device.
- Plug your USB Device into your PC
- Find the folder "Wii Backup Manager"
- Run the File "wiibackupmananger.exe"
Ok now I will explain this step with a little more detail:
You will see application open up that has quite a few options... they are not all necerssery at this time because we just want to take our ISO files and convert them.
Once the application is open there is 5 tabs
Files, DVD, Drive 1, Drive 2, Log*
- Click the files tabs (it should already be on this)
- Click the add button just below the files tab
- Open your ISO file that you want to convert
- Highlight the ISO (Game) by checking the select box
- Click the Transfer tab (right of the add button)
- it will bring up a small box --- click the WBFS File option
- Find your Drive, and Choose the folder WBFS
The WBFS folder is the one we created earlier when you extracted the "Extract to USB Device" folder onto your usb drive.
You will store all your games in the "wbfs" folder.
INSTALLATION - FINAL STEP
OK the hard parts are done and now it is time to test your USB LOADER.
Turn on your WII with your USB device plugged into the USB slot.
Some Wii's use the right slot if you are looking at it from the back OTHER wii's have the USB slots on top of each other if you have them on top of each other use the BOTTOM USB slot.
OK fire it up and do this:
- choose the USB LOADER from the wii MENU
- it should give you a list of games you have put on your drive
- choose your game
- PLAY IT

Ok Windows won't format large drives to FAT32 so the easiest way is to use EASEUS Partition Master its free, I've used it and it works great.
There is EASEUS Partition Magic in the download section but thats an older version. There is also Fat 32 Formatter.
