Wii USB HD Loader

[Yumraaj]

Hi,
I'm completely new to this - so please some patience...
First of all I'm on Wii 4.0 before I started looking into softmodding - apparently I can't downgrade the system menu version... so I need something that works with Wii 4.0.
I'm interested in playing back-up games from either a Back-up Launcher (Gamma apparently does NOT work with Wii 4.0) or USB Loader (I like the look of WiiCoverFlow).

I'd like to complete the following: How Do I install the Usb loader on the Nintendo Wii 4.0? - Yahoo! Answers

I've managed to install the Bannerbomb mod to get the HBC... tick.
I then found out that I need to upgrade the cIOS. I've managed to download the cIOS36 Rev 10 as well as the Installer that goes with it. I've put the wad on the SD root, and created a "cIOS Rev 10" folder inside the "app" folder, which contains the Installer program.

When I run this on the Wii, it starts to execute & the screen fills up: patch #1 (or whatever it says - can't remember exactly) - OK, patch #3 - OK, then on patch #5 it errors & I get an error code of "Ret = -1".

Please help...

Ok I think what the problem really is... I think

Download this:
Digital Kaos - Downloads - Ret=-1

Read the Readme document included. Hopefully it will sort your problem

I have tried various usb loaders but keep getting the following:

error ret = -1)

any advice on what the problem could be, the wii is seeing the drive.

Try swapping the USB drive to the other USB port in the back of the Wii.

Works fine for me. I'm using a USB stick to try it out.

However I can't get it to work yet as a channel (I've system software 4.0).

Hiya,guys!

Ryt, herez a new one for whoever can help.
I have been burning games(that I downloaded) onto discs for the Wii and playing them for the past few months.
To be honest I have been spending quite a bit of money on DVDs and burning takes about 20mins per game.

I have 500GB on my PC and an external HDD of 500GB and my games are saved on both.

I also have a 32GB USB which is great as it should fit about 5 games.
Now herez my dilemma, when I try to copy a game(ISO file) onto my USB, it keeps telling me that there is not enough space on the USB drive.
I know some of you must be thinking that my USB has not actually got that 32GB space, but I have checked its "Properties" & I know it has got the space.Just to be sure, I have filled up my USB with movies and photo files and they fill up the whole USB.

So, why wont the Wii Iso Files save on the USB?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

If your drive/usb stick is formatted as FAT32, it will never let you put file bigger than 3gb. Only NTFS will allow you to do that.

But if you want to play wii games from your drive you will need to format it as WBFS using WBFS manager, only then your wii will recognise the drive/partition.

Hope that is clear.

Thanks,mate!I knew you'd be the one to help.

So if I format my USB stick with this manager, do I just copy the games (ISO files) onto my USB?

Sorry to be a noob!

Thanks,again.

is there any good places to download wii games fast.

Hi,mate!
The speed at which you download Wii games depends on 3 distinct aspects:
1.Internet speed
2.The amount of people seeding
3.The amount of people downloading.

The higher the first 2 the better and the last one should be low.

I use Utorrent and I get the games from mywiidownloads website. I subscribed with them, paid with Paypal & then claimed my money back. But my subscription was not cancelled and I got a refund.

Its a great site.

Hope this helps.

Get a rapidshare account and download to your hearts content here wii - Game Downloads – Katz
If using firefox install "downthemall" and "linkification" addons.They make the download process a lot easier....believe me.

[Yumraaj]

Just use newsgroups its quicker
