First of all thanks for this great tutorial. I've softmoded my wii with your help and its working great with uLoader. But I've a one little problem.

I want to use the WiiFlow as an USB Loader. I've installed the WiiFlow from its site. It's working and seeing the games on my HDD. I've downloaded the covers etc.
But when I tried to launch the games (GH5 and Wii Sports Resort) its going into the black screen and pauses. I've tried to launch the games with 223 etc. just like I'm doing in the ULoader; but it keeps freezing

I've read some tutorials abour the wiiflow; but I'm not sure if that installing process (includes IOS38 with 37 or something) will also fail the launch of ULoader.

I desperately need your help about the WiiFlow installation. What should I do to make it work (with out compromising the uLoader)?

Your help will really be appreciated. Thanks in advance, and your time for reading.

Damned i feel like a total noob and probably am one since i googled my ass off but couldn't find the answer... I am one of the idiots that somehow deleted the wrong stubbed IOS's. I can't find the safe upgrade to 4.2 page, can anybody help me? Thanks in advance!

P.S. The hack works and loading from usb as well, the problem is that i can't use my original new Super Mario Bros disc anymore...

We are not a wealthy family and just dont have the money to pay for games approx $50 but we would pay for them if they where $10 or so. (not to self Mr Nintendo) So to be able to mod wii with this guide. And play as a family is just so wonderful. So really just wanted to thank everyone espically the author of the guide.

kind regards to all

Hi, this is my first post and I really hope you can help me with a usb loading problem. I followed the tut on 2 off Wii?s and 1 works perfectly but the other refuses to play ball. Im currently using a 8GB usb stick loaded up with four games and the usb loader app can only load the standard Wii sports prog other progs like Sports resort looks like its loading (spinning disk) and then screen goes blank and returns you to the main WII menu. Same usb stick works perfectly in the other Wii unit. Both units are using 4.2E. Im sure its something stupid, I?ve repeated the tut just in case I missed something the first time.

As one of the few places of where I actually post (all be it rarely) I just wanted to let you know this morning I made the tough decision to leave the front line of Wii softmodding support. I would like to thank everyone that made the tools possible, and anyone that found my tutorials useful.

Of course there is still plenty of useful resources out there on the web including this forum. I will occasionally still monitor these forums at even more rarely GBATemp.

I do have a backup of the blog pages, so if there is any particular guide that you feel has been wiped from the face of the web for good, then PM me and I can post you the content, I will not start topics of them myself as the main reason for pulling the blog is simply I don't have the time to keep it at the forefront of what's going on anymore and answering people's questions was also taking up too much time. So feel free to re-post and modify anything you see fit (although some form of credit would obviously still be appreciated for the underlying work)

All download packs are still available so any guides such as this one which have been re-posted, the links for the downloads are still live.

There is no point posting something like this without explaining myself, so I may as well.

As I said, time is the main reason. Contrary to popular belief I am not some spotty kid in his bedroom. I am 30 years old, have a house to upkeep and a job which more than ever is now sending me all over the UK at the drop of a hat. My girlfriend has also recently become ill, its nothing serious but has made me realise she deserves a bit more of my time, especially due to my job situation. So something had to go.

Like I say here and GBAtemp will be the only places I will keep an eye on. I will try and get involved as much as possible with the community, both here on the Wii pages and also the Xbox360 pages.

Keep up the good work everyone and thanks for the traffic to my site and the support over the past 12 months or so.
