Use a forwarder channel. They usually come in wad form and you just install them with manager.If one of them is u loader have a look at the post from ck-ok about 5.1 d as there are loader channels in that post

Welcome to the forum.

Which loaders and what it your Wii version?

I have 4 loaders on mine and they all work, USB Loader GX-Forwarder.wad, Neogamma Channel - R8.wad, Wiiflow Forwarder Channel.wad and USBLoaderCFG - UCXF - IOS58 v8b Alternative.wad. All installed with Multi-Mod Manager 13.4

Though there isn't much point with Neogamma Channel - R8.wad as it won't play burnt games because I have the newer DVD drive but the other 3 work perfectly.

My wii is a 4.2 e i have a 500 gig hard drive with games on it that work when i go into homebrew channel so it all works well apart from not being able to find a loader channel on the wii it self i have uloader and usb loader gx

As I said the forwarder channel is a wad file and is installed with the wad manager. Wads are not installed from hbc and will not show up in apps menu when you open hbc

Thanks for pointing out were im going wrong i have now got USBLoaderCFG UCXF IOS58 v6.wad and have gone to wad manager

[Keithuk]

We both said what you needed to get channels on the Wii menu. If you only want Configurable USB Loader then I would suggest USBLoaderCFG - UCXF - IOS58 v8b Alternative.wad. I've tried different wad manager and the best one is Multi-Mod Manager 13.4 but its up to you?

Each USB Loader has its own different features thats why I have 3 of them on my Wii menu.

I would not recommend installing a loader as a channel as you are about to do, even though I have to do it with loader gx as I can't run it from a loader channel (don't ask me why it doesn't work as there is no reason it just doesn't) for two reasons the first being that installing the loader as channel means you cannot use the auto update and the other being that installing corrupt channels is the quickest way to brick your wii, so just make sure you trust the place where you got the download

Why would you want to use auto update?

[peach1]

All done thanks for your help

[happy_highlander]

Why would you want to use auto update?

New versions are usually released when bugs are found in running certain games and when there is a need to get around anti piracy so that it makes the games playable for the folks who don't know how to patch an iso or if an iso patch is not released.

Yes but the newest version 4.3 came out in June 2010 and that was supposed to delete HBC but you can still install it then you block future updates with Priiloader.

If new games are made for the Wii then its up to the game maker to iron out all the bugs so they play on any Wii.

Keith, your not updating the wii system menu m8, there's an option in some loaders to update to the latest revision of say... Gx, simply by pressing a button in the loader settings, so you don't have to keep replacing the .dol

[Keithuk]

Yes I've seen the update buttons on my 3 USB loaders I updated USB Loader GX a couple of weeks ago.
