usb loader fcg black screen when loading games?

Question

first i got to say , I'm not a pro when it comes to the WII section and IOS stuff and so~ but I got some exp with the stuff.

I used to run usb loader gx for a couple of weeks and it worked perfectly, no problems at all, until I tried to install an ios file from a burned disc that I had and cancelled it. I got some long error report on my wii and later on, something similar on WBFS manager on my pc when trying to load new games.
the next time I tried loading games trough usb loader (playing them), they start running, u could see the warnings about the wii remote and stuff and than the screen just goes blank until I unplug the power.( super Mario galaxy for an example didn't go black but at the start screen where u need to press A+B, there was no respond at all!). I need to mention all games worked perfectly before, and I even checked them on dolphin emulator and again, working fine.
so I deleted every thing - HMC, usb loader, every thing~. i installed homebrew again and used it to install usb loader fcg ( not what i used before) so i can reduce the possible causes of my problem.
and surprisingly even after all of that, the same problem occurred.
i have made the following tests:
- replaced the usb loader (as i wrote above) - didn't work (not the problem)
- checked a couple of games for that problem - it occurred in all of them (not a problem with a cretin iso)
- i formatted my drive and loaded the iso back into it - didn't change anything
- i made sure all the iso files are up to date and reinstalled them.

*i probably need to mention that my wbfs manager has been crashing since and i even reinstalled it.
*the first time i recognized the problem was on a new game i downloaded (prince of Persia) but the other games still worked fine, im pretty sure the black screen happened after i cancled the installation of the iso to the drive. ( cancled means unplugging the power).

i will appreciate any help that will be given .
if u have anything unpleasant, not relative to the subject, or things to say about how i decide to use my WII (using the HMC , usb loader.....) please keep them to your self.

Thanks you(:

There is NO good reason to be using a WBFS formatted drive and WBFS Manager anymore. If you are consistently adding and removing games you end up with unusable sections of the drive. WBFS formatted drives need the game in one continuous spot and write games directly after each other. So if you had a 3GB game you deleted from the middle of the drive then the next 2 games you install are 2GB each you now have a 1GB gap (because it will fill in the deleted spot but then skip to end of drive to write the whole second game) and NO program to defrag and condense the gaps. You don't have that issue with a drive containing a file allocation table...



USBLoader GX, CFG Loader, and WiiFlow ALL support playing games from a FAT32 formatted drive with the games saved as .wbfs files. For game larger than the 4GB limit of FAT32 the game is split into multiple files but the loaders can play them just fine. And for your computer, if you want a backup manager, get Wii Backup Manager http://www.wiibackupmanager.co.uk/



Chances are when you unplugged the drive during a transfer, it corrupted the file/drive. Seems how any computer can interact with a FAT32 drive without having to install special drivers/programs, freezing up shouldn't be an issue once you switch.



If different loaders are crashing, re-install your cIOSs and re-download your loaders. You can get them from ModMii, http://modmii.zzl.org/ , or WiiHacks, http://www.wiihacks.com/recommended-faqs-guides-tutorials-only/96886-guide-softmod-any-wii.html . In ModMii, CFG and WiiFlow are on download page 2 (get GX from source http://code.google.com/p/usbloader-gui/downloads/list ) and the cIOSs are on page 4 (just type rec to queue the recommended ones). Or on WiiHacks, cIOSs are in the ModPack.zip and the loaders are in the app pack (AP-V5.zip) at the end. You'll need to register on WiiHacks to see the download links, but it is free.

umm since I mainly use a software called Neogamma which enables me to play burnt games via disc there is not much I can say to help, however I have used CFG USB LOADER (which is better than USB LOADER GX) and it did work. The simplest way to solve I believe is using my method to burn games:

- By blank DVD-R discs

- Burn games using imgburn

- Download Neogamma for the Wii HBC via SD card

- Ensure you have the correct IOS (it will tell you what IOS's you need when you open Neogamma - you should get the latest Neogamma btw)

- Insert the blank discs and play.



btw if you are planning on using USB's which is slightly more difficult then I would recommend re-installing your ISO's using WAD MANAGER or whatever you use to install IOS's



Hope this is of some use to you: good luck
