title: "GameCube Backup Manager"
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
|
||||
|
||||
GameCube Backup Manager is a convenient PC software that simplifies the process of transferring GameCube games to your USB drive or SD Card. It functions similar to the popular tool called [Wii Backup Manager](wiibackupmanager), allowing you to easily manage and organize your GameCube game backups. With this program, you can effortlessly copy your favorite GameCube games onto portable storage devices, making them readily accessible for future gaming sessions.
|
||||
|
||||
### Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
* An SD card or USB drive
|
||||
* [GameCube Backup Manager](https://github.com/AxionDrak/GameCube-Backup-Manager/releases)
|
||||
|
||||
To play multiple games, it is recommended to use an external hard drive for your Wii. Any external hard drive found on most modern marketplaces should work with your Wii.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
Make sure your USB drive is formatted as FAT32. Do not format it as other types such as NTFS, exFAT, extFS, or WBFS, the latter being an outdated filesystem for storing Wii games.
|
||||

title: "Nintendont"
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
|
||||
|
||||
Nintendont is a Wii-mode homebrew application that can be used to play GameCube games, as well as Triforce arcade dumps. Nintendont is an interesting app in that it is like a hybrid between an emulator and a virtual machine - while still running GameCube games near exactly at native quality and performance. Further info can be read [here](https://gbatemp.net/threads/nintendont.349258/).
|
||||
|
||||
To play games, you are advised to use a large SD card or an external hard drive, flash drives are very sporadic in functionality. See [storage FAQ](faq).
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
Make sure your storage device is formatted as FAT32. Do not format it to other file systems like NTFS, exFAT, or WBFS.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
### Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
* A modded Wii
|
||||
* An SD card or USB device
|
||||
* [Nintendont](https://oscwii.org/library/app/Nintendont)
|
||||
|
||||
### Installation
|
||||
1. Download Nintendont and extract it to the root of your SD card or USB drive.
|
||||
1. Insert your SD card or USB device into your Wii, and launch Nintendont from the Homebrew Channel.
|
||||
|
||||
### Quick Start Guide
|
||||
|
||||
#### Key Features
|
||||
|
||||
+ You can use various input devices to play GameCube games. These include GameCube controllers (even via a USB adapter), Wiimotes, Classic Controllers, the Konga, HID USB controllers, Bluetooth controllers, and potentially more.
|
||||
+ Nintendont has support for virtual memory cards that are saved to an external storage device, from sizes of 51 blocks up to 1019 blocks. Despite this, the recommended max size is 251 blocks per virtual card for maximum compatibility.
|
||||
+ You can use a fan-made patch to enable online play in some games.
|
||||
+ Nintendont can be leveraged in either [WiiFlow Lite](usb-loaders#wiiflow-lite) or [USB Loader GX](usb-loaders#usb-loader-gx) for the loading of GameCube games.
|
||||
|
||||
#### User Interface
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Nintendont uses a user interface that is mainly controllable and navigable using a gamepad.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Properly Launching Games
|
||||
|
||||
Games in Nintendont have to be launched from an external device with a specific folder structure, with the usage of a game ID. Game IDs can be found on [GameTDB](https://www.gametdb.com).<br> The expected structure for single disc games is as follows:<br> `device:/games/(game name) [game ID]/game.iso`
|
||||
|
||||
The expected structure for multi disc games is as follows:<br> `device:/games/(game name) [game ID]/game.iso`<br> `device:/games/(game name) [game ID]/disc2.iso` (so on and so forth)
|
||||
|
||||
Here is an example using The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker on a USB hard drive:<br> `USB:/games/The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker [GZLE01]/game.iso`
|
||||
|
||||
#### BIOS Setup
|
||||
|
||||
You can use an original GameCube BIOS in Nintendont if you have legally obtained one.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Rename the BIOS file `iplusa.bin`/`ipljap.bin`/`iplpal.bin` based on its region.
|
||||
1. Copy it to the root of the storage device where Nintendont is installed on.
|
||||
1. Go into Nintendont settings and verify that `Load IPL` is turned ON.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Using a HID USB controller with Nintendont
|
||||
|
||||
By default, Nintendont selects a controller configuration from an internal list of already mapped controllers. If yours does not automatically work, make sure to check the supported controller list in the article at the top of the page. If you still want to check anyway, you can use [HIDTest](https://oscwii.org/library/app/HIDTest) to determine whether or not your controller will be detected and work with Nintendont.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Button combinations for Nintendont in-game
|
||||
|
||||
Restart: Resets the game and returns to game's title screen.<br> Shutdown: Exits nintendont and returns to the loader.<br>
|
||||
|
||||
Some games may have native button combinations to reset.
|
||||
|
||||
**GameCube Controller:**<br> Restart: R+Z+Start<br> Shutdown: R+Z+B+Down (D-pad)
|
||||
|
||||
**Wiimote + Nunchuck:**<br> Shutdown: HOME button on the Wiimote
|
||||
|
||||
**HID-USB controller or adapter:**<br> You can define the Shutdown button's combination yourself.<br> The Power button is defined in the controller.ini or in the correct controllers/PID_VID.ini file used by your gamepad.<br> Most commonly used combo with default HID settings:<br> Shutdown: L+R+Z+Start

|
||||
|
||||
{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
|
||||
|
||||
This is a quick start guide on how to use Riivolution, an on-the-fly disk patcher for the Wii that is used to play Wii game mods.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to use Riivolution on a Wii mini, a WiFi card must be soldered and Wii IOSes must be installed.
|
||||
{: .notice--warning}
|
||||
|
||||
Riivolution requires a working disk drive and a clean physical copy of the disk the desired mod is for. Scratched disks may or may not work very well or at all.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
* A Wii
|
||||
* A USB drive or SD Card
|
||||
* The files for your desired mod
|
||||
* A clean physical copy of the disk the mod is for
|
||||
* A working disk drive
|
||||
* [Riivolution](https://oscwii.org/library/app/riivolution)
|
||||
|
||||
### Preparing the files
|
||||
|
||||
1. Extract Riivolution and put it in the `apps` folder on your SD card or USB drive.
|
||||
1. Extract your mod files according to the diagram below to the SD or USB drive. Depending on the mod you downloaded, it may or may not already come properly structured for you.
|
||||
1. Insert your SD card and/or USB drive into your Wii and launch Riivolution from the Homebrew Channel.
|
||||
1. Insert the disk into the Wii.
|
||||
+ Optional step: you can install the official riivolution forwarder channel to the Wii menu by selecting the install option to the right. This negates the need for having to launch the homebrew channel every time you want to launch riivolution.
|
||||
1. Enable the mod and select Launch. Depending on the mod, you may have different options for it.
|
||||
|
||||
Pay attention to the region your mod is meant for. NTSC is for U.S and Japan, and PAL is for Europe and Korea.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
### File Structure
|
||||
|
||||
Every Riivolution mod is different, and depending on which mod you choose, it may include more or less files than shown in this diagram.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
Do not get confused with the actual Riivolution app, and the Riivolution folder that goes on the root.

title: "USB Loaders"
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
|
||||
|
||||
This guide introduces USB loaders on the Wii. They can be primarily used to load game backups that were dumped from a retail game disc. Depending on the loader, there may also be extensions to allow it to function as a frontend for non-Wii games as well. The two most commonly used loaders are USB Loader GX and WiiFlow Lite (a regularly updated mod of the original WiiFlow) - one loader may work better for you than the other, so it's worth trying both out.
|
||||
|
||||
**Note about Configurable USB Loader:**<br> Due to the age and lack of support for Configurable USB Loader (last update was in 2011), this guide does not provide dedicated installation instructions. If enough demand is there, it may be added in the future.
|
||||
{: .notice--warning}
|
||||
|
||||
In order for a USB loader to function properly, you must have the correct cIOS installed. Please check [this](cios) guide for instructions if you are on Wii, and [this](cios-mini) guide if you are on Wii mini.
|
||||
{: .notice--warning}
|
||||
|
||||
To play games, you are advised to use a large SD card or an external hard drive, flash drives are very sporadic in functionality. See [storage FAQ](faq).
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
Forwarders to open these loaders on the Wii Menu can be found on the Open Shop Channel for [WiiFlow Lite](https://oscwii.org/library/app/wiiflow_channel_installer) or on the official SourceForge page for [USB Loader GX](https://sourceforge.net/projects/usbloadergx/files/Releases/Forwarders/USB%20Loader%20GX-UNEO_Forwarder_5_1_AHBPROT.wad/download). You can install either with [YAWM ModMii Edition](yawmme).
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||

### USB Loader GX
|
||||
|
||||
#### Requirements
|
||||
+ A modded Wii
|
||||
+ Fully installed [cIOS](cios)
|
||||
+ [USB Loader GX](https://oscwii.org/library/app/usbloader_gx)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Installation
|
||||
|
||||
1. Ensure that your Wii already has cIOS 248-251 installed - this can be checked with applications like [SysChecker](syscheck) or d2x cIOS installer.
|
||||
1. Download USB Loader GX and install it on your SD Card or USB device.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Quick Start Guide
|
||||
|
||||
##### General
|
||||
|
||||
+ If USB Loader GX says "Waiting for HDD..." with a 20 second countdown, it is very likely that it cannot detect your USB device. Try to exit out of the app, plug your USB device into the opposite port that it is currently in, and relaunch it.
|
||||
+ You can press the 1 Button on your Wii Remote to open up a dialog to download game covers and artwork from [GameTDB](https://gametdb.com/). It might take a while to download the game covers and artwork, depending the amount of games you have.
|
||||
+ GameCube or "custom" Wii games may or may not have a custom banner that USB Loader GX uses. To enable this, find or write `CustomBannersURL = http://banner.rc24.xyz/` in `config/GXGlobal.cfg` on the drive you installed the app on. Then, you can use the `Custom Banner` download by pressing the 1 Button on your Wii Remote.
|
||||
|
||||
##### User Interface
|
||||
|
||||
On the middle of the bottom of the screen, you can see how much space is free on your USB drive and how many games you have.

These are the functions of the buttons found on the bar at the top of the screen, from left to right:
|
||||
|
||||
+ Star - Shows games that you have marked as "favorites".
|
||||
+ Search - Lets you search for games by name.
|
||||
+ Sort - Cycles through sorting methods for games.
|
||||
+ Platform - Sorts games by platform.
|
||||
+ Category - Sorts games by category.
|
||||
+ List - Shows games in a list view.
|
||||
+ Multi-Cover View - Shows games in a multi-cover view.
|
||||
+ Cover Carousel View - Shows games in a carousel view.
|
||||
+ Wii Menu View - Shows games in a Wii Menu view.
|
||||
+ Parental Control - Locks USB Loader GX.
|
||||
+ Disc - Loads a game that is in the disc drive.
|
||||
|
||||
There are also other buttons at the bottom of the screen:
|
||||
|
||||
+ (+) Icon - "Install" a game, i.e. loading it from disc and dumping it to your preset storage device.
|
||||
+ Gears - Global settings for USB Loader GX.

||||
+ Power Button - Turn off your Wii.
|
||||
|
||||
### Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
Although the majority of games should work as-is with default settings, some may require using a specific cIOS to function, or to utilize certain features within the game. Examples include:
|
||||
|
||||
+ Using a keyboard in Animal Crossing: City Folk.
|
||||
+ Running SpongeBob's Boating Bash.
|
||||
|
||||
A more comprehensive (although still incomplete) list can be found [here](https://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/Wii_cIOS_base_Compatibility_List).
|
||||
|
||||
To change the cIOS used for a specific game, follow the instructions specific to your USB loader:
|
||||
|
||||
#### USB Loader GX
|
||||
1. Select the game that isn't working.
|
||||
1. Click Settings.
|
||||
1. Select `Game Load`.
|
||||
1. Scroll down to `Game IOS`.
|
||||
1. Enter the IOS slot to use.
|
||||
+ Try using 250 or 251, if 249 doesn't work.
|
||||
1. Press OK and try to load the game.
|
||||
|
||||
#### WiiFlow Lite
|
||||
1. Select the game that isn't working.
|
||||
1. Click the gear icon.
|
||||
1. Go to cIOS and use the arrows to select the IOS slot to use.
|
||||
+ Try using 250 or 251, if 249 doesn't work.
|
||||
1. Press Save and try to load the game.
|
||||
|
||||
[Continue to Nintendont](nintendont) Now that you have installed a USB loader of some type for Wii games, you can install a similar type of application for effectively native playback of GameCube games.

Nintendont is a Wii-mode homebrew application that can be used to play GameCube games, as well as Triforce arcade dumps. Nintendont is an interesting app in that it is like a hybrid between an emulator and a virtual machine - while still running GameCube games near exactly at native quality and performance. Further info can be read [here](https://gbatemp.net/threads/nintendont.349258/).
|
||||
|
||||
To play games, you are advised to use a large SD card or an external hard drive, flash drives are very sporadic in functionality. See [storage FAQ](faq).
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
Make sure your storage device is formatted as FAT32. Do not format it to other file systems like NTFS, exFAT, or WBFS.

|
||||
|
||||
### Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
* A modded Wii
|
||||
* An SD card or USB device
|
||||
* [Nintendont](https://oscwii.org/library/app/Nintendont)
|
||||
|
||||
### Installation
|
||||
1. Download Nintendont and extract it to the root of your SD card or USB drive.
|
||||
1. Insert your SD card or USB device into your Wii, and launch Nintendont from the Homebrew Channel.
|
||||
|
||||
### Quick Start Guide
|
||||
|
||||
#### Key Features
|
||||
|
||||
+ You can use various input devices to play GameCube games. These include GameCube controllers (even via a USB adapter), Wiimotes, Classic Controllers, the Konga, HID USB controllers, Bluetooth controllers, and potentially more.
|
||||
+ Nintendont has support for virtual memory cards that are saved to an external storage device, from sizes of 51 blocks up to 1019 blocks. Despite this, the recommended max size is 251 blocks per virtual card for maximum compatibility.
|
||||
+ You can use a fan-made patch to enable online play in some games.
|
||||
+ Nintendont can be leveraged in either [WiiFlow Lite](usb-loaders#wiiflow-lite) or [USB Loader GX](usb-loaders#usb-loader-gx) for the loading of GameCube games.
|
||||
|
||||
#### User Interface
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Nintendont uses a user interface that is mainly controllable and navigable using a gamepad.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Properly Launching Games
|
||||
|
||||
Games in Nintendont have to be launched from an external device with a specific folder structure, with the usage of a game ID. Game IDs can be found on [GameTDB](https://www.gametdb.com).<br> The expected structure for single disc games is as follows:<br> `device:/games/(game name) [game ID]/game.iso`
|
||||
|
||||
The expected structure for multi disc games is as follows:<br> `device:/games/(game name) [game ID]/game.iso`<br> `device:/games/(game name) [game ID]/disc2.iso` (so on and so forth)
|
||||
|
||||
Here is an example using The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker on a USB hard drive:<br> `USB:/games/The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker [GZLE01]/game.iso`
|
||||
|
||||
#### BIOS Setup
|
||||
|
||||
You can use an original GameCube BIOS in Nintendont if you have legally obtained one.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Rename the BIOS file `iplusa.bin`/`ipljap.bin`/`iplpal.bin` based on its region.
|
||||
1. Copy it to the root of the storage device where Nintendont is installed on.
|
||||
1. Go into Nintendont settings and verify that `Load IPL` is turned ON.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Using a HID USB controller with Nintendont
|
||||
|
||||
By default, Nintendont selects a controller configuration from an internal list of already mapped controllers. If yours does not automatically work, make sure to check the supported controller list in the article at the top of the page. If you still want to check anyway, you can use [HIDTest](https://oscwii.org/library/app/HIDTest) to determine whether or not your controller will be detected and work with Nintendont.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Button combinations for Nintendont in-game
|
||||
|
||||
Restart: Resets the game and returns to game's title screen.<br> Shutdown: Exits nintendont and returns to the loader.<br>
|
||||
|
||||
Some games may have native button combinations to reset.
|
||||
|
||||
**GameCube Controller:**<br> Restart: R+Z+Start<br> Shutdown: R+Z+B+Down (D-pad)
|
||||
|
||||
**Wiimote + Nunchuck:**<br> Shutdown: HOME button on the Wiimote
|
||||
|
||||
**HID-USB controller or adapter:**<br> You can define the Shutdown button's combination yourself.<br> The Power button is defined in the controller.ini or in the correct controllers/PID_VID.ini file used by your gamepad.<br> Most commonly used combo with default HID settings:<br> Shutdown: L+R+Z+Start

{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
|
||||
|
||||
This is a quick start guide on how to use Riivolution, an on-the-fly disk patcher for the Wii that is used to play Wii game mods.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to use Riivolution on a Wii mini, a WiFi card must be soldered and Wii IOSes must be installed.
|
||||
{: .notice--warning}
|
||||
|
||||
Riivolution requires a working disk drive and a clean physical copy of the disk the desired mod is for. Scratched disks may or may not work very well or at all.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
* A Wii
|
||||
* A USB drive or SD Card
|
||||
* The files for your desired mod
|
||||
* A clean physical copy of the disk the mod is for
|
||||
* A working disk drive
|
||||
* [Riivolution](https://oscwii.org/library/app/riivolution)
|
||||
|
||||
### Preparing the files
|
||||
|
||||
1. Extract Riivolution and put it in the `apps` folder on your SD card or USB drive.
|
||||
1. Extract your mod files according to the diagram below to the SD or USB drive. Depending on the mod you downloaded, it may or may not already come properly structured for you.
|
||||
1. Insert your SD card and/or USB drive into your Wii and launch Riivolution from the Homebrew Channel.
|
||||
1. Insert the disk into the Wii.
|
||||
+ Optional step: you can install the official riivolution forwarder channel to the Wii menu by selecting the install option to the right. This negates the need for having to launch the homebrew channel every time you want to launch riivolution.
|
||||
1. Enable the mod and select Launch. Depending on the mod, you may have different options for it.
|
||||
|
||||
Pay attention to the region your mod is meant for. NTSC is for U.S and Japan, and PAL is for Europe and Korea.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
### File Structure
|
||||
|
||||
Every Riivolution mod is different, and depending on which mod you choose, it may include more or less files than shown in this diagram.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
Do not get confused with the actual Riivolution app, and the Riivolution folder that goes on the root.

title: "USB Loaders"
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
|
||||
|
||||
This guide introduces USB loaders on the Wii. They can be primarily used to load game backups that were dumped from a retail game disc. Depending on the loader, there may also be extensions to allow it to function as a frontend for non-Wii games as well. The two most commonly used loaders are USB Loader GX and WiiFlow Lite (a regularly updated mod of the original WiiFlow) - one loader may work better for you than the other, so it's worth trying both out.
|
||||
|
||||
**Note about Configurable USB Loader:**<br> Due to the age and lack of support for Configurable USB Loader (last update was in 2011), this guide does not provide dedicated installation instructions. If enough demand is there, it may be added in the future.
|
||||
{: .notice--warning}
|
||||
|
||||
In order for a USB loader to function properly, you must have the correct cIOS installed. Please check [this](cios) guide for instructions if you are on Wii, and [this](cios-mini) guide if you are on Wii mini.
|
||||
{: .notice--warning}
|
||||

To play games, you are advised to use a large SD card or an external hard drive, flash drives are very sporadic in functionality. See [storage FAQ](faq).
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
Forwarders to open these loaders on the Wii Menu can be found on the Open Shop Channel for [WiiFlow Lite](https://oscwii.org/library/app/wiiflow_channel_installer) or on the official SourceForge page for [USB Loader GX](https://sourceforge.net/projects/usbloadergx/files/Releases/Forwarders/USB%20Loader%20GX-UNEO_Forwarder_5_1_AHBPROT.wad/download). You can install either with [YAWM ModMii Edition](yawmme).

|
||||
|
||||
#### Requirements
|
||||
+ A modded Wii
|
||||
+ Fully installed [cIOS](cios)
|
||||
+ [USB Loader GX](https://oscwii.org/library/app/usbloader_gx)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Installation
|
||||
|
||||
1. Ensure that your Wii already has cIOS 248-251 installed - this can be checked with applications like [SysChecker](syscheck) or d2x cIOS installer.
|
||||
1. Download USB Loader GX and install it on your SD Card or USB device.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Quick Start Guide
|
||||
|
||||
##### General
|
||||
|
||||
+ If USB Loader GX says "Waiting for HDD..." with a 20 second countdown, it is very likely that it cannot detect your USB device. Try to exit out of the app, plug your USB device into the opposite port that it is currently in, and relaunch it.
|
||||
+ You can press the 1 Button on your Wii Remote to open up a dialog to download game covers and artwork from [GameTDB](https://gametdb.com/). It might take a while to download the game covers and artwork, depending the amount of games you have.
|
||||
+ GameCube or "custom" Wii games may or may not have a custom banner that USB Loader GX uses. To enable this, find or write `CustomBannersURL = http://banner.rc24.xyz/` in `config/GXGlobal.cfg` on the drive you installed the app on. Then, you can use the `Custom Banner` download by pressing the 1 Button on your Wii Remote.
|
||||
|
||||
##### User Interface
|
||||
|
||||
On the middle of the bottom of the screen, you can see how much space is free on your USB drive and how many games you have.

|
||||
|
||||
+ Star - Shows games that you have marked as "favorites".
|
||||
+ Search - Lets you search for games by name.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
There are also other buttons at the bottom of the screen:
|
||||
|
||||
+ (+) Icon - "Install" a game, i.e. loading it from disc and dumping it to your preset storage device.
|
||||

||||
|
||||
### Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
Although the majority of games should work as-is with default settings, some may require using a specific cIOS to function, or to utilize certain features within the game. Examples include:
|
||||
|
||||
+ Using a keyboard in Animal Crossing: City Folk.
|
||||
+ Running SpongeBob's Boating Bash.
|
||||
|
||||
A more comprehensive (although still incomplete) list can be found [here](https://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/Wii_cIOS_base_Compatibility_List).
|
||||
|
||||
To change the cIOS used for a specific game, follow the instructions specific to your USB loader:
|
||||
|
||||
#### USB Loader GX
|
||||

|
||||
1. Click Settings.
|
||||
1. Select `Game Load`.
|
||||
1. Scroll down to `Game IOS`.
|
||||
1. Enter the IOS slot to use.
|
||||
+ Try using 250 or 251, if 249 doesn't work.
|
||||
1. Press OK and try to load the game.
|
||||
|
||||
#### WiiFlow Lite
|
||||
1. Select the game that isn't working.

┗ 📜game.iso or 📜game.ciso
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### BIOS Setup
|
||||
|
||||
You can use an original GameCube BIOS in Nintendont if you have legally obtained one.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Rename the BIOS file `iplusa.bin`/`ipljap.bin`/`iplpal.bin` based on its region.
|
||||
1. Copy it to the root of the storage device where your GameCube games are on.
|
||||
1. Go into Nintendont settings and verify that `Skip IPL` is turned OFF.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Using a HID USB controller with Nintendont
|
||||
|
||||
By default, Nintendont selects a controller configuration from an internal list of already mapped controllers. If yours does not automatically work, make sure to check the supported controller list in the article at the top of the page. If you still want to check anyway, you can use [HIDTest](https://oscwii.org/library/app/HIDTest) to determine whether or not your controller will be detected and work with Nintendont.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Button combinations for Nintendont in-game
|
||||
|
||||
Restart: Resets the game and returns to game's title screen.<br> Shutdown: Exits nintendont and returns to the loader.<br>
|
||||
|
||||
Some games may have native button combinations to reset.
|
||||
|
||||
**GameCube Controller:**<br> Restart: R+Z+Start<br> Shutdown: R+Z+B+Down (D-pad)
|
||||
|
||||
**Wiimote + Nunchuck:**<br> Shutdown: HOME button on the Wiimote
|
||||
|
||||
**HID-USB controller or adapter:**<br> You can define the Shutdown button's combination yourself.<br> The Power button is defined in the controller.ini or in the correct controllers/PID_VID.ini file used by your gamepad.<br> Most commonly used combo with default HID settings:<br> Shutdown: L+R+Z+Start

{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
|
||||
|
||||
This is a quick start guide on how to use Riivolution, an on-the-fly disk patcher for the Wii that is used to play Wii game mods.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to use Riivolution on a Wii mini, a WiFi card must be soldered and Wii IOSes must be installed.
|
||||
{: .notice--warning}
|
||||
|
||||
Riivolution requires a working disk drive and a clean physical copy of the disk the desired mod is for. Scratched disks may or may not work very well or at all.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
* A Wii
|
||||
* A USB drive or SD Card
|
||||
* The files for your desired mod
|
||||
* A clean physical copy of the disk the mod is for
|
||||
* A working disk drive
|
||||
* [Riivolution](https://oscwii.org/library/app/riivolution)
|
||||
|
||||
### Preparing the files
|
||||
|
||||
1. Extract Riivolution and put it in the `apps` folder on your SD card or USB drive.
|
||||
1. Extract your mod files according to the diagram below to the SD or USB drive. Depending on the mod you downloaded, it may or may not already come properly structured for you.
|
||||
1. Insert your SD card and/or USB drive into your Wii and launch Riivolution from the Homebrew Channel.
|
||||
1. Insert the disk into the Wii.
|
||||
+ Optional step: you can install the official riivolution forwarder channel to the Wii menu by selecting the install option to the right. This negates the need for having to launch the homebrew channel every time you want to launch riivolution.
|
||||
1. Enable the mod and select Launch. Depending on the mod, you may have different options for it.
|
||||
|
||||
Pay attention to the region your mod is meant for. NTSC is for U.S and Japan, and PAL is for Europe and Korea.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
### File Structure
|
||||
|
||||
Every Riivolution mod is different, and depending on which mod you choose, it may include more or less files than shown in this diagram.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
Do not get confused with the actual Riivolution app, and the Riivolution folder that goes on the root.

title: "USB Loaders"
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
|
||||
|
||||
This guide introduces USB loaders on the Wii. They can be primarily used to load game backups that were dumped from a retail game disc. Depending on the loader, there may also be extensions to allow it to function as a frontend for non-Wii games as well. The two most commonly used loaders are USB Loader GX and WiiFlow Lite (a regularly updated mod of the original WiiFlow) - one loader may work better for you than the other, so it's worth trying both out.
|
||||
|
||||
**Note about Configurable USB Loader:**<br> Due to the age and lack of support for Configurable USB Loader (last update was in 2011), this guide does not provide dedicated installation instructions. If enough demand is there, it may be added in the future.
|
||||
{: .notice--warning}
|
||||
|
||||
In order for a USB loader to function properly, you must have the correct cIOS installed. Please check [this](cios) guide for instructions if you are on Wii, and [this](cios-mini) guide if you are on Wii mini.
|
||||
{: .notice--warning}
|
||||
|
||||
To play games, you are advised to use a large SD card or an external hard drive, flash drives are very sporadic in functionality. See [storage FAQ](faq).
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
Forwarders to open these loaders on the Wii Menu can be found on the Open Shop Channel for [WiiFlow Lite](https://oscwii.org/library/app/wiiflow_channel_installer) or on the official SourceForge page for [USB Loader GX](https://sourceforge.net/projects/usbloadergx/files/Releases/Forwarders/USB%20Loader%20GX-UNEO_Forwarder_5_1_AHBPROT.wad/download). You can install either with [YAWM ModMii Edition](yawmme).

|
||||
#### Requirements
|
||||
+ A modded Wii
|
||||
+ Fully installed [cIOS](cios)
|
||||
+ [WiiFlow](https://oscwii.org/library/app/wiiflow)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Installation
|
||||

|
||||
1. Download WiiFlow and install it on your SD Card or USB device.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Quick Start Guide
|
||||
|
||||
##### General
|
||||
|
||||
+ WiiFlow by default is set to only find games on the SD card. This can be changed by going to `Settings > Startup Settings` to then turn off `Mount SD Only`.
|
||||
+ You can toggle the current view in Wiiflow between plugins, games, homebrew, and Wii channels by clicking the button to the left of `Home`, on the bottom right.
|
||||
+ You can download game covers by going to `Settings` > `Download Covers and Banners`.
|
||||
|
||||
##### User Interface
|
||||
|
||||
When WiiFlow detects games, they are displayed in flow view.<br> When you click on a game, you are given these options:
|
||||
+ Star - Adds game to favorites.
|
||||
+ Bookshelf - Adds the game to 1 of 6 categories of your choosing.
|
||||
+ Gears - Opens the settings menu for that game - these settings are unique to that game and that game only.
|
||||
+ X - Deletes the game from the USB drive or SD card.
|
||||
|
||||
When you bring the cursor to the bottom of the screen while in flow view, there are 6 icons:

|
||||
+ Star - View games you favorited.
|
||||
+ Gears - Opens WiiFlow Settings.

### USB Loader GX
|
||||
|
||||
#### Requirements
|
||||
+ A modded Wii
|
||||
+ Fully installed [cIOS](cios)
|
||||
+ [USB Loader GX](https://oscwii.org/library/app/usbloader_gx)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Installation
|
||||
|
||||
1. Ensure that your Wii already has cIOS 248-251 installed - this can be checked with applications like [SysChecker](syscheck) or d2x cIOS installer.
|
||||
1. Download USB Loader GX and install it on your SD Card or USB device.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Quick Start Guide
|
||||
|
||||
##### General
|
||||
|
||||
+ If USB Loader GX says "Waiting for HDD..." with a 20 second countdown, it is very likely that it cannot detect your USB device. Try to exit out of the app, plug your USB device into the opposite port that it is currently in, and relaunch it.
|
||||
+ You can press the 1 Button on your Wii Remote to open up a dialog to download game covers and artwork from [GameTDB](https://gametdb.com/). It might take a while to download the game covers and artwork, depending the amount of games you have.
|
||||
+ GameCube or "custom" Wii games may or may not have a custom banner that USB Loader GX uses. To enable this, find or write `CustomBannersURL = http://banner.rc24.xyz/` in `config/GXGlobal.cfg` on the drive you installed the app on. Then, you can use the `Custom Banner` download by pressing the 1 Button on your Wii Remote.
|
||||
|
||||
##### User Interface
|
||||
|
||||
On the middle of the bottom of the screen, you can see how much space is free on your USB drive and how many games you have.
|
||||
|
||||
These are the functions of the buttons found on the bar at the top of the screen, from left to right:
|
||||
|
||||
+ Star - Shows games that you have marked as "favorites".
|
||||
+ Search - Lets you search for games by name.
|
||||
+ Sort - Cycles through sorting methods for games.
|
||||
+ Platform - Sorts games by platform.
|
||||
+ Category - Sorts games by category.
|
||||
+ List - Shows games in a list view.
|
||||
+ Multi-Cover View - Shows games in a multi-cover view.
|
||||
+ Cover Carousel View - Shows games in a carousel view.
|
||||
+ Wii Menu View - Shows games in a Wii Menu view.
|
||||
+ Parental Control - Locks USB Loader GX.
|
||||
+ Disc - Loads a game that is in the disc drive.
|
||||
|
||||
There are also other buttons at the bottom of the screen:
|
||||
|
||||
+ (+) Icon - "Install" a game, i.e. loading it from disc and dumping it to your preset storage device.
|
||||
+ Gears - Global settings for USB Loader GX.
|
||||
+ SD card - Remount the SD card.
|
||||

|
||||
+ Power Button - Turn off your Wii.
|
||||
|
||||
### Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
Although the majority of games should work as-is with default settings, some may require using a specific cIOS to function, or to utilize certain features within the game. Examples include:
|
||||
|
||||
+ Using a keyboard in Animal Crossing: City Folk.
|
||||
+ Running SpongeBob's Boating Bash.
|
||||
|
||||
A more comprehensive (although still incomplete) list can be found [here](https://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/Wii_cIOS_base_Compatibility_List).
|
||||
|
||||
To change the cIOS used for a specific game, follow the instructions specific to your USB loader:
|
||||
|
||||
#### USB Loader GX
|
||||
1. Select the game that isn't working.
|
||||
1. Click Settings.
|
||||
1. Select `Game Load`.
|
||||
1. Scroll down to `Game IOS`.
|
||||
1. Enter the IOS slot to use.
|
||||
+ Try using 250 or 251, if 249 doesn't work.
|
||||
1. Press OK and try to load the game.
|
||||
|
||||
#### WiiFlow Lite
|
||||
1. Select the game that isn't working.
|
||||
1. Click the gear icon.
|
||||
1. Go to cIOS and use the arrows to select the IOS slot to use.
|
||||
+ Try using 250 or 251, if 249 doesn't work.
|
||||
1. Press Save and try to load the game.
|
||||
|
||||
[Continue to Nintendont](nintendont) Now that you have installed a USB loader of some type for Wii games, you can install a similar type of application for effectively native playback of GameCube games.

|
||||
|
||||
Wii Backup Manager is a program to copy Wii games from your computer to a USB drive so you can play the games on your Wii. It also can download game covers from [GameTDB](https://gametdb.com/) and can be used to list what games you have.

+ You can use various input devices to play GameCube games. These include GameCube controllers (even via a USB adapter), Wiimotes, Classic Controllers, the Konga, HID USB controllers, Bluetooth controllers, and potentially more.
|
||||
+ Nintendont has support for virtual memory cards that are saved to an external storage device, from sizes of 51 blocks up to 1019 blocks. Despite this, the recommended max size is 251 blocks per virtual card for maximum compatibility.
|
||||
+ You can use a fan-made patch to enable online play in some games.
|
||||
+ Nintendont can be leveraged in either [WiiFlow Lite](usb-loaders#wiiflow-lite) or [USB Loader GX](usb-loaders#usb-loader-gx) for the loading of GameCube games.
|
||||
|
||||
#### User Interface
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Nintendont uses a user interface that is mainly controllable and navigable using a gamepad.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Properly Launching Games
|
||||
|
||||
Games in Nintendont have to be launched from an external device with a specific folder structure, with the usage of a game ID. Game IDs can be found on [GameTDB](https://www.gametdb.com).<br> The expected structure for single disc games is as follows:<br> `device:/games/(game name) [game ID]/game.iso`
|
||||
|
||||
The expected structure for multi disc games is as follows:<br> `device:/games/(game name) [game ID]/game.iso`<br> `device:/games/(game name) [game ID]/disc2.iso` (so on and so forth)
|
||||
|
||||
Here is an example using The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker on a USB hard drive:<br> `USB:/games/The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker [GZLE01]/game.iso`
|
||||
|
||||
#### BIOS Setup
|
||||
|
||||
You can use an original GameCube BIOS in Nintendont if you have legally obtained one.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Rename the BIOS file `iplusa.bin`/`ipljap.bin`/`iplpal.bin` based on its region.
|
||||
1. Copy it to the root of the storage device where Nintendont is installed on.
|
||||
1. Go into Nintendont settings and verify that `Load IPL` is turned ON.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Using a HID USB controller with Nintendont
|
||||
|
||||
By default, Nintendont selects a controller configuration from an internal list of already mapped controllers. If yours does not automatically work, make sure to check the supported controller list in the article at the top of the page. If you still want to check anyway, you can use [HIDTest](https://oscwii.org/library/app/HIDTest) to determine whether or not your controller will be detected and work with Nintendont.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Button combinations for Nintendont in-game
|
||||
|
||||
Restart: Resets the game and returns to game's title screen.<br> Shutdown: Exits nintendont and returns to the loader.<br>
|
||||
|
||||
Some games may have native button combinations to reset.
|
||||
|
||||
**GameCube Controller:**<br> Restart: R+Z+Start<br> Shutdown: R+Z+B+Down (D-pad)
|
||||
|
||||
**Wiimote + Nunchuck:**<br> Shutdown: HOME button on the Wiimote
|
||||
|
||||
**HID-USB controller or adapter:**<br> You can define the Shutdown button's combination yourself.<br> The Power button is defined in the controller.ini or in the correct controllers/PID_VID.ini file used by your gamepad.<br> Most commonly used combo with default HID settings:<br> Shutdown: L+R+Z+Start

{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
|
||||
|
||||
This is a quick start guide on how to use Riivolution, an on-the-fly disk patcher for the Wii that is used to play Wii game mods.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to use Riivolution on a Wii mini, a WiFi card must be soldered and Wii IOSes must be installed.
|
||||
{: .notice--warning}
|
||||
|
||||
Riivolution requires a working disk drive and a clean physical copy of the disk the desired mod is for. Scratched disks may or may not work very well or at all.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
* A Wii
|
||||
* A USB drive or SD Card
|
||||
* The files for your desired mod
|
||||
* A clean physical copy of the disk the mod is for
|
||||
* A working disk drive
|
||||
* [Riivolution](https://oscwii.org/library/app/riivolution)
|
||||
|
||||
### Preparing the files
|
||||
|
||||
1. Extract Riivolution and put it in the `apps` folder on your SD card or USB drive.
|
||||
1. Extract your mod files according to the diagram below to the SD or USB drive. Depending on the mod you downloaded, it may or may not already come properly structured for you.
|
||||
1. Insert your SD card and/or USB drive into your Wii and launch Riivolution from the Homebrew Channel.
|
||||
1. Insert the disk into the Wii.
|
||||
+ Optional step: you can install the official riivolution forwarder channel to the Wii menu by selecting the install option to the right. This negates the need for having to launch the homebrew channel every time you want to launch riivolution.
|
||||
1. Enable the mod and select Launch. Depending on the mod, you may have different options for it.
|
||||
|
||||
Pay attention to the region your mod is meant for. NTSC is for U.S and Japan, and PAL is for Europe and Korea.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
### File Structure
|
||||
|
||||
Every Riivolution mod is different, and depending on which mod you choose, it may include more or less files than shown in this diagram.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
Do not get confused with the actual Riivolution app, and the Riivolution folder that goes on the root.

title: "USB Loaders"
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
|
||||
|
||||
This guide introduces USB loaders on the Wii. They can be primarily used to load game backups that were dumped from a retail game disc. Depending on the loader, there may also be extensions to allow it to function as a frontend for non-Wii games as well. The two most commonly used loaders are USB Loader GX and WiiFlow Lite (a regularly updated mod of the original WiiFlow) - one loader may work better for you than the other, so it's worth trying both out.
|
||||
|
||||
**Note about Configurable USB Loader:**<br> Due to the age and lack of support for Configurable USB Loader (last update was in 2011), this guide does not provide dedicated installation instructions. If enough demand is there, it may be added in the future.
|
||||
{: .notice--warning}
|
||||
|
||||
In order for a USB loader to function properly, you must have the correct cIOS installed. Please check [this](cios) guide for instructions if you are on Wii, and [this](cios-mini) guide if you are on Wii mini.
|
||||
{: .notice--warning}
|
||||
|
||||
To play games, you are advised to use a large SD card or an external hard drive, flash drives are very sporadic in functionality. See [storage FAQ](faq).
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
Forwarders to open these loaders on the Wii Menu can be found on the Open Shop Channel for [WiiFlow Lite](https://oscwii.org/library/app/wiiflow_channel_installer) or on the official SourceForge page for [USB Loader GX](https://sourceforge.net/projects/usbloadergx/files/Releases/Forwarders/USB%20Loader%20GX-UNEO_Forwarder_5_1_AHBPROT.wad/download). You can install either with [YAWM ModMii Edition](yawmme).

### USB Loader GX
|
||||
|
||||
#### Requirements
|
||||
+ A modded Wii
|
||||
+ Fully installed [cIOS](cios)
|
||||
+ [USB Loader GX](https://oscwii.org/library/app/usbloader_gx)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Installation
|
||||
|
||||
1. Ensure that your Wii already has cIOS 248-251 installed - this can be checked with applications like [SysChecker](syscheck) or d2x cIOS installer.
|
||||
1. Download USB Loader GX and install it on your SD Card or USB device.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Quick Start Guide
|
||||
|
||||
##### General
|
||||
|
||||
+ If USB Loader GX says "Waiting for HDD..." with a 20 second countdown, it is very likely that it cannot detect your USB device. Try to exit out of the app, plug your USB device into the opposite port that it is currently in, and relaunch it.
|
||||
+ You can press the 1 Button on your Wii Remote to open up a dialog to download game covers and artwork from [GameTDB](https://gametdb.com/). It might take a while to download the game covers and artwork, depending the amount of games you have.
|
||||
+ GameCube or "custom" Wii games may or may not have a custom banner that USB Loader GX uses. To enable this, find or write `CustomBannersURL = http://banner.rc24.xyz/` in `config/GXGlobal.cfg` on the drive you installed the app on. Then, you can use the `Custom Banner` download by pressing the 1 Button on your Wii Remote.
|
||||
|
||||
##### User Interface
|
||||
|
||||
On the middle of the bottom of the screen, you can see how much space is free on your USB drive and how many games you have.

|
||||
|
||||
There are also other buttons at the bottom of the screen:
|
||||
|
||||
+ (+) Icon - "Install" a game, i.e. loading it from disc and dumping it to your preset storage device.
|
||||

|
||||
### Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
Although the majority of games should work as-is with default settings, some may require using a specific cIOS to function, or to utilize certain features within the game. Examples include:
|
||||
|
||||
+ Using a keyboard in Animal Crossing: City Folk.
|
||||
+ Running SpongeBob's Boating Bash.
|
||||
|
||||
A more comprehensive (although still incomplete) list can be found [here](https://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/Wii_cIOS_base_Compatibility_List).
|
||||
|
||||
To change the cIOS used for a specific game, follow the instructions specific to your USB loader:
|
||||
|
||||
#### USB Loader GX
|
||||
1. Select the game that isn't working.
|
||||
1. Click Settings.
|
||||
1. Select `Game Load`.
|
||||
1. Scroll down to `Game IOS`.
|
||||
1. Enter the IOS slot to use.
|
||||
+ Try using 250 or 251, if 249 doesn't work.
|
||||
1. Press OK and try to load the game.
|
||||
|
||||
#### WiiFlow Lite
|
||||
1. Select the game that isn't working.

{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
|
||||
|
||||
Nintendont is a Wii-mode homebrew application that can be used to play GameCube games, as well as Triforce arcade dumps. Nintendont is an interesting app in that it is like a hybrid between an emulator and a virtual machine - while still running GameCube games near exactly at native quality and performance. Further info can be read [here](https://gbatemp.net/threads/nintendont.349258/).
|
||||
|
||||
To play games, you are advised to use a large SD card or an external hard drive, flash drives are very sporadic in functionality. See [storage FAQ](faq).
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||

### Quick Start Guide
|
||||
|
||||
#### Key Features
|
||||
|
||||
+ You can use various input devices to play GameCube games. These include GameCube controllers (even via a USB adapter), Wiimotes, Classic Controllers, the Konga, HID USB controllers, Bluetooth controllers, and potentially more.
|
||||
+ Nintendont has support for virtual memory cards that are saved to an external storage device, from sizes of 51 blocks up to 1019 blocks. Despite this, the recommended max size is 251 blocks per virtual card for maximum compatibility.
|
||||
+ You can use a fan-made patch to enable online play in some games.
|
||||
+ Nintendont can be leveraged in either [WiiFlow Lite](usb-loaders#wiiflow-lite) or [USB Loader GX](usb-loaders#usb-loader-gx) for the loading of GameCube games.
|
||||
|
||||
#### User Interface
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Nintendont uses a user interface that is mainly controllable and navigable using a gamepad.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Properly Launching Games
|
||||
|
||||
Games in Nintendont have to be launched from an external device with a specific folder structure, with the usage of a game ID. Game IDs can be found on [GameTDB](https://www.gametdb.com).<br> The expected structure for single disc games is as follows:<br> `device:/games/(game name) [game ID]/game.iso`
|
||||
|
||||
The expected structure for multi disc games is as follows:<br> `device:/games/(game name) [game ID]/game.iso`<br> `device:/games/(game name) [game ID]/disc2.iso` (so on and so forth)
|
||||
|
||||
Here is an example using The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker on a USB hard drive:<br> `USB:/games/The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker [GZLE01]/game.iso`
|
||||
|
||||
#### BIOS Setup
|
||||
|
||||
You can use an original GameCube BIOS in Nintendont if you have legally obtained one.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Rename the BIOS file `iplusa.bin`/`ipljap.bin`/`iplpal.bin` based on its region.
|
||||
1. Copy it to the root of the storage device where Nintendont is installed on.
|
||||
1. Go into Nintendont settings and verify that `Load IPL` is turned ON.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Using a HID USB controller with Nintendont
|
||||
|
||||
By default, Nintendont selects a controller configuration from an internal list of already mapped controllers. If yours does not automatically work, make sure to check the supported controller list in the article at the top of the page. If you still want to check anyway, you can use [HIDTest](https://oscwii.org/library/app/HIDTest) to determine whether or not your controller will be detected and work with Nintendont.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Button combinations for Nintendont in-game
|
||||
|
||||
Restart: Resets the game and returns to game's title screen.<br> Shutdown: Exits nintendont and returns to the loader.<br>
|
||||
|
||||
Some games may have native button combinations to reset.
|
||||
|
||||
**GameCube Controller:**<br> Restart: R+Z+Start<br> Shutdown: R+Z+B+Down (D-pad)
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
This is a quick start guide on how to use Riivolution, an on-the-fly disk patcher for the Wii that is used to play Wii game mods.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to use Riivolution on a Wii mini, a WiFi card must be soldered and Wii IOSes must be installed.
|
||||
{: .notice--warning}
|
||||
|
||||
Riivolution requires a working disk drive and a clean physical copy of the disk the desired mod is for. Scratched disks may or may not work very well or at all.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
* A Wii
|
||||
* A USB drive or SD Card
|
||||
* The files for your desired mod
|
||||
* A clean physical copy of the disk the mod is for
|
||||
* A working disk drive
|
||||
* [Riivolution](https://oscwii.org/library/app/riivolution)
|
||||
|
||||
### Preparing the files
|
||||
|
||||
1. Extract Riivolution and put it in the `apps` folder on your SD card or USB drive.
|
||||
1. Extract your mod files according to the diagram below to the SD or USB drive. Depending on the mod you downloaded, it may or may not already come properly structured for you.
|
||||
1. Insert your SD card and/or USB drive into your Wii and launch Riivolution from the Homebrew Channel.
|
||||
1. Insert the disk into the Wii.
|
||||
+ Optional step: you can install the official riivolution forwarder channel to the Wii menu by selecting the install option to the right. This negates the need for having to launch the homebrew channel every time you want to launch riivolution.
|
||||
1. Enable the mod and select Launch. Depending on the mod, you may have different options for it.
|
||||
|
||||
Pay attention to the region your mod is meant for. NTSC is for U.S and Japan, and PAL is for Europe and Korea.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
### File Structure
|
||||
|
||||
Every Riivolution mod is different, and depending on which mod you choose, it may include more or less files than shown in this diagram.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
Do not get confused with the actual Riivolution app, and the Riivolution folder that goes on the root.

title: "USB Loaders"
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
|
||||
|
||||
This guide introduces USB loaders on the Wii. They can be primarily used to load game backups that were dumped from a retail game disc. Depending on the loader, there may also be extensions to allow it to function as a frontend for non-Wii games as well. The two most commonly used loaders are USB Loader GX and WiiFlow Lite (a regularly updated mod of the original WiiFlow) - one loader may work better for you than the other, so it's worth trying both out.
|
||||
|
||||
**Note about Configurable USB Loader:**<br> Due to the age and lack of support for Configurable USB Loader (last update was in 2011), this guide does not provide dedicated installation instructions. If enough demand is there, it may be added in the future.
|
||||
{: .notice--warning}
|
||||
|
||||
In order for a USB loader to function properly, you must have the correct cIOS installed. Please check [this](cios) guide for instructions if you are on Wii, and [this](cios-mini) guide if you are on Wii mini.
|
||||
{: .notice--warning}
|
||||
|
||||
To play games, you are advised to use a large SD card or an external hard drive, flash drives are very sporadic in functionality. See [storage FAQ](faq).
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
Forwarders to open these loaders on the Wii Menu can be found on the Open Shop Channel for [WiiFlow Lite](https://oscwii.org/library/app/wiiflow_channel_installer) or on the official SourceForge page for [USB Loader GX](https://sourceforge.net/projects/usbloadergx/files/Releases/Forwarders/USB%20Loader%20GX-UNEO_Forwarder_5_1_AHBPROT.wad/download). You can install either with [YAWM ModMii Edition](yawmme).
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|

### WiiFlow Lite
|
||||
|
||||
#### Requirements
|
||||
+ A modded Wii
|
||||
+ Fully installed [cIOS](cios)
|
||||
+ [WiiFlow](https://oscwii.org/library/app/wiiflow)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Installation
|
||||
|
||||
1. Ensure that your Wii already has cIOS 248-251 installed - this can be checked with applications like [SysChecker](syscheck) or d2x cIOS installer.
|
||||
1. Download WiiFlow and install it on your SD Card or USB device.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Quick Start Guide
|
||||
|
||||
##### General
|
||||
|
||||
+ WiiFlow by default is set to only find games on the SD card. This can be changed by going to `Settings > Startup Settings` to then turn off `Mount SD Only`.
|
||||
+ You can toggle the current view in Wiiflow between plugins, games, homebrew, and Wii channels by clicking the button to the left of `Home`, on the bottom right.
|
||||
+ You can download game covers by going to `Settings` > `Download Covers and Banners`.
|
||||
|
||||
##### User Interface
|
||||
|
||||
When WiiFlow detects games, they are displayed in flow view.<br> When you click on a game, you are given these options:
|
||||
+ Star - Adds game to favorites.
|
||||
+ Bookshelf - Adds the game to 1 of 6 categories of your choosing.
|
||||
+ Gears - Opens the settings menu for that game - these settings are unique to that game and that game only.
|
||||
+ X - Deletes the game from the USB drive or SD card.
|
||||
|
||||
When you bring the cursor to the bottom of the screen while in flow view, there are 6 icons:
|
||||
+ Bookshelf - View the games that are sorted in the categories you chose.
|
||||
+ Star - View games you favorited.
|
||||
+ Gears - Opens WiiFlow Settings.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### USB Loader GX
|
||||
|
||||
#### Requirements
|
||||
+ A modded Wii
|
||||
+ Fully installed [cIOS](cios)
|
||||
+ [USB Loader GX](https://oscwii.org/library/app/usbloader_gx)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Installation
|
||||
|
||||
1. Ensure that your Wii already has cIOS 248-251 installed - this can be checked with applications like [SysChecker](syscheck) or d2x cIOS installer.
|
||||
1. Download USB Loader GX and install it on your SD Card or USB device.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Quick Start Guide
|
||||
|
||||
##### General
|
||||
|
||||
+ If USB Loader GX says "Waiting for HDD..." with a 20 second countdown, it is very likely that it cannot detect your USB device. Try to exit out of the app, plug your USB device into the opposite port that it is currently in, and relaunch it.
|
||||
+ You can press the 1 Button on your Wii Remote to open up a dialog to download game covers and artwork from [GameTDB](https://gametdb.com/). It might take a while to download the game covers and artwork, depending the amount of games you have.
|
||||
+ GameCube or "custom" Wii games may or may not have a custom banner that USB Loader GX uses. To enable this, find or write `CustomBannersURL = http://banner.rc24.xyz/` in `config/GXGlobal.cfg` on the drive you installed the app on. Then, you can use the `Custom Banner` download by pressing the 1 Button on your Wii Remote.
|
||||
|
||||
##### User Interface
|
||||
|
||||
On the middle of the bottom of the screen, you can see how much space is free on your USB drive and how many games you have.
|
||||
|
||||
These are the functions of the buttons found on the bar at the top of the screen, from left to right:
|
||||
|
||||
+ Star - Shows games that you have marked as "favorites".
|
||||
+ Search - Lets you search for games by name.
|
||||
+ Sort - Cycles through sorting methods for games.
|
||||
+ Platform - Sorts games by platform.
|
||||
+ Category - Sorts games by category.
|
||||
+ List - Shows games in a list view.
|
||||
+ Multi-Cover View - Shows games in a multi-cover view.
|
||||
+ Cover Carousel View - Shows games in a carousel view.
|
||||
+ Wii Menu View - Shows games in a Wii Menu view.
|
||||
+ Parental Control - Locks USB Loader GX.
|
||||
+ Disc - Loads a game that is in the disc drive.
|
||||
|
||||
There are also other buttons at the bottom of the screen:
|
||||
|
||||
+ (+) Icon - "Install" a game, i.e. loading it from disc and dumping it to your preset storage device.
|
||||
+ Gears - Global settings for USB Loader GX.
|
||||
+ SD card - Remount the SD card.
|
||||
+ Homebrew - Load homebrew apps.
|
||||
+ Wii - Open the HOME Menu.
|
||||
+ Power Button - Turn off your Wii.
|
||||
|
||||
### Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
Although the majority of games should work as-is with default settings, some may require using a specific cIOS to function, or to utilize certain features within the game. Examples include:
|
||||
|
||||
+ Using a keyboard in Animal Crossing: City Folk.
|
||||
+ Running SpongeBob's Boating Bash.
|
||||
|
||||
A more comprehensive (although still incomplete) list can be found [here](https://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/Wii_cIOS_base_Compatibility_List).
|
||||
|
||||
To change the cIOS used for a specific game, follow the instructions specific to your USB loader:
|
||||
|
||||
#### USB Loader GX
|
||||
1. Select the game that isn't working.
|
||||
1. Click Settings.
|
||||
1. Select `Game Load`.
|
||||
1. Scroll down to `Game IOS`.
|
||||
1. Enter the IOS slot to use.
|
||||
+ Try using 250 or 251, if 249 doesn't work.
|
||||
1. Press OK and try to load the game.
|
||||
|
||||
#### WiiFlow Lite
|
||||
1. Select the game that isn't working.

|
||||
{% include toc title="Inhaltsverzeichnis" %}
|
||||
|
||||
GameCube Backup Manager is a convenient PC software that simplifies the process of transferring GameCube games to your USB drive or SD Card. It functions similar to the popular tool called [Wii Backup Manager](wiibackupmanager), allowing you to easily manage and organize your GameCube game backups. With this program, you can effortlessly copy your favorite GameCube games onto portable storage devices, making them readily accessible for future gaming sessions.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
To play multiple games, it is recommended to use an external hard drive for your Wii. Any external hard drive found on most modern marketplaces should work with your Wii.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
Make sure your USB drive is formatted as FAT32. Do not format it as other types such as NTFS, exFAT, extFS, or WBFS, the latter being an outdated filesystem for storing Wii games.
|
||||

{% include toc title="Inhalt" %}
|
||||
|
||||
Nintendont is a Wii-mode homebrew application that can be used to play GameCube games, as well as Triforce arcade dumps. Nintendont is an interesting app in that it is like a hybrid between an emulator and a virtual machine - while still running GameCube games near exactly at native quality and performance. Further info can be read [here](https://gbatemp.net/threads/nintendont.349258/).
|
||||
|
||||
To play games, you are advised to use a large SD card or an external hard drive, flash drives are very sporadic in functionality. See [storage FAQ](faq).
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
Make sure your storage device is formatted as FAT32. Do not format it to other file systems like NTFS, exFAT, or WBFS.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
### Anforderungen
|
||||
|
||||
* A modded Wii
|
||||
* An SD card or USB device
|
||||
* [Nintendont](https://oscwii.org/library/app/Nintendont)
|
||||
|
||||
### Installation
|
||||
1. Download Nintendont and extract it to the root of your SD card or USB drive.
|
||||
1. Insert your SD card or USB device into your Wii, and launch Nintendont from the Homebrew Channel.
|
||||
|
||||
### Quick Start Guide
|
||||
|
||||
#### Key Features
|
||||
|
||||
+ You can use various input devices to play GameCube games. These include GameCube controllers (even via a USB adapter), Wiimotes, Classic Controllers, the Konga, HID USB controllers, Bluetooth controllers, and potentially more.
|
||||
+ Nintendont has support for virtual memory cards that are saved to an external storage device, from sizes of 51 blocks up to 1019 blocks. Despite this, the recommended max size is 251 blocks per virtual card for maximum compatibility.
|
||||
+ You can use a fan-made patch to enable online play in some games.
|
||||
+ Nintendont can be leveraged in either [WiiFlow Lite](wii-loaders#wiiflow-lite) or [USB Loader GX](wii-loaders#usb-loader-gx) for the loading of GameCube games.
|
||||
|
||||
#### User Interface
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Nintendont uses a user interface that is mainly controllable and navigable using a gamepad.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Properly Launching Games
|
||||
|
||||
Games in Nintendont have to be launched from an external device with a specific folder structure, with the usage of a game ID. Game IDs can be found on [GameTDB](https://www.gametdb.com).<br> The expected structure for single disc games is as follows:<br>
|
||||
```
|
||||
💾SD/USB:
|
||||
┗ 📂games
|
||||
┗ 📂GameName [gameID]
|
||||
┗ 📜game.iso or 📜game.ciso
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The expected structure for multi disc games is as follows:<br>
|
||||
```
|
||||
💾SD/USB:
|
||||
┗ 📂games
|
||||
┗ 📂GameName [gameID]
|
||||
┣ 📜game.iso or 📜game.ciso
|
||||
┗ 📜disc2.iso or 📜disc2.ciso
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Here is an example using The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker on a USB hard drive:<br>
|
||||
```
|
||||
💾SD/USB:
|
||||
┗ 📂games
|
||||
┗ 📂The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker [GZLE01]
|
||||
┗ 📜game.iso or 📜game.ciso
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### BIOS Setup
|
||||
|
||||
You can use an original GameCube BIOS in Nintendont if you have legally obtained one.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Rename the BIOS file `iplusa.bin`/`ipljap.bin`/`iplpal.bin` based on its region.
|
||||
1. Copy it to the root of the storage device where your GameCube games are on.
|
||||
1. Go into Nintendont settings and verify that `Skip IPL` is turned OFF.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Using a HID USB controller with Nintendont
|
||||
|
||||
By default, Nintendont selects a controller configuration from an internal list of already mapped controllers. If yours does not automatically work, make sure to check the supported controller list in the article at the top of the page. If you still want to check anyway, you can use [HIDTest](https://oscwii.org/library/app/HIDTest) to determine whether or not your controller will be detected and work with Nintendont.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Button combinations for Nintendont in-game
|
||||
|
||||
Restart: Resets the game and returns to game's title screen.<br> Shutdown: Exits nintendont and returns to the loader.<br>
|
||||
|
||||
Some games may have native button combinations to reset.
|
||||
|
||||
**GameCube Controller:**<br> Restart: R+Z+Start<br> Shutdown: R+Z+B+Down (D-pad)
|
||||
|
||||
**Wiimote + Nunchuck:**<br> Shutdown: HOME button on the Wiimote
|
||||
|
||||
**HID-USB controller or adapter:**<br> You can define the Shutdown button's combination yourself.<br> The Power button is defined in the controller.ini or in the correct controllers/PID_VID.ini file used by your gamepad.<br> Most commonly used combo with default HID settings:<br> Shutdown: L+R+Z+Start

+ Optional step: you can install the official riivolution forwarder channel to the Wii menu by selecting the install option to the right. This negates the need for having to launch the homebrew channel every time you want to launch riivolution.
|
||||
1. Enable the mod and select Launch. Depending on the mod, you may have different options for it.
|
||||
|
||||
Pay attention to the region your mod is meant for. NTSC is for U.S and Japan, and PAL is for Europe and Korea.

### File Structure
|
||||
|
||||
Every Riivolution mod is different, and depending on which mod you choose, it may include more or less files than shown in this diagram.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
Do not get confused with the actual Riivolution app, and the Riivolution folder that goes on the root.

title: "USB Loaders"
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
{% include toc title="Inhalt" %}
|
||||
|
||||
This guide introduces USB loaders on the Wii. They can be primarily used to load game backups that were dumped from a retail game disc. Depending on the loader, there may also be extensions to allow it to function as a frontend for non-Wii games as well. The two most commonly used loaders are USB Loader GX and WiiFlow Lite (a regularly updated mod of the original WiiFlow) - one loader may work better for you than the other, so it's worth trying both out.
|
||||
|
||||
**Note about Configurable USB Loader:**<br> Due to the age and lack of support for Configurable USB Loader (last update was in 2011), this guide does not provide dedicated installation instructions. If enough demand is there, it may be added in the future.
|
||||
{: .notice--warning}
|
||||
|
||||
In order for a USB loader to function properly, you must have the correct cIOS installed. Please check [this](cios) guide for instructions if you are on Wii, and [this](cios-mini) guide if you are on Wii mini.
|
||||
{: .notice--warning}
|
||||
|
||||
To play games, you are advised to use a large SD card or an external hard drive, flash drives are very sporadic in functionality. See [storage FAQ](faq).
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
Forwarders to open these loaders on the Wii Menu can be found on the Open Shop Channel for [WiiFlow Lite](https://oscwii.org/library/app/wiiflow_channel_installer) or on the official SourceForge page for [USB Loader GX](https://sourceforge.net/projects/usbloadergx/files/Releases/Forwarders/USB%20Loader%20GX-UNEO_Forwarder_5_1_AHBPROT.wad/download). You can install either with [YAWM ModMii Edition](yawmme).

### WiiFlow Lite
|
||||
|
||||
#### Anforderungen
|
||||
+ A modded Wii
|
||||
+ Fully installed [cIOS](cios)
|
||||
+ [WiiFlow](https://oscwii.org/library/app/wiiflow)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Installation
|
||||
|
||||
1. Ensure that your Wii already has cIOS 248-251 installed - this can be checked with applications like [SysChecker](syscheck) or d2x cIOS installer.
|
||||
1. Download WiiFlow and install it on your SD Card or USB device.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Quick Start Guide
|
||||
|
||||
##### General
|
||||
|
||||
+ WiiFlow by default is set to only find games on the SD card. This can be changed by going to `Settings > Startup Settings` to then turn off `Mount SD Only`.
|
||||
+ You can toggle the current view in Wiiflow between plugins, games, homebrew, and Wii channels by clicking the button to the left of `Home`, on the bottom right.
|
||||
+ You can download game covers by going to `Settings` > `Download Covers and Banners`.
|
||||
|
||||
##### User Interface
|
||||
|
||||
When WiiFlow detects games, they are displayed in flow view.<br> When you click on a game, you are given these options:
|
||||
+ Star - Adds game to favorites.
|
||||
+ Bookshelf - Adds the game to 1 of 6 categories of your choosing.
|
||||
+ Gears - Opens the settings menu for that game - these settings are unique to that game and that game only.
|
||||
+ X - Deletes the game from the USB drive or SD card.
|
||||
|
||||
When you bring the cursor to the bottom of the screen while in flow view, there are 6 icons:
|
||||
+ Bookshelf - View the games that are sorted in the categories you chose.
|
||||
+ Star - View games you favorited.
|
||||
+ Gears - Opens WiiFlow Settings.
|
||||
+ Game Type - Toggles between different types of apps/games. The logo changes depending on what game type you have selected.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### USB Loader GX
|
||||
|
||||
#### Anforderungen
|
||||
+ A modded Wii
|
||||
+ Fully installed [cIOS](cios)
|
||||
+ [USB Loader GX](https://oscwii.org/library/app/usbloader_gx)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Installation
|
||||
|
||||
1. Ensure that your Wii already has cIOS 248-251 installed - this can be checked with applications like [SysChecker](syscheck) or d2x cIOS installer.
|
||||
1. Download USB Loader GX and install it on your SD Card or USB device.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Quick Start Guide
|
||||
|
||||
##### General
|
||||
|
||||
+ If USB Loader GX says "Waiting for HDD..." with a 20 second countdown, it is very likely that it cannot detect your USB device. Try to exit out of the app, plug your USB device into the opposite port that it is currently in, and relaunch it.
|
||||
+ You can press the 1 Button on your Wii Remote to open up a dialog to download game covers and artwork from [GameTDB](https://gametdb.com/). It might take a while to download the game covers and artwork, depending the amount of games you have.
|
||||
+ GameCube or "custom" Wii games may or may not have a custom banner that USB Loader GX uses. To enable this, find or write `CustomBannersURL = http://banner.rc24.xyz/` in `config/GXGlobal.cfg` on the drive you installed the app on. Then, you can use the `Custom Banner` download by pressing the 1 Button on your Wii Remote.
|
||||
|
||||
##### User Interface
|
||||
|
||||
On the middle of the bottom of the screen, you can see how much space is free on your USB drive and how many games you have.
|
||||
|
||||
These are the functions of the buttons found on the bar at the top of the screen, from left to right:
|
||||
|
||||
+ Star - Shows games that you have marked as "favorites".
|
||||
+ Search - Lets you search for games by name.
|
||||
+ Sort - Cycles through sorting methods for games.
|
||||
+ Platform - Sorts games by platform.
|
||||
+ Category - Sorts games by category.
|
||||
+ List - Shows games in a list view.
|
||||
+ Multi-Cover View - Shows games in a multi-cover view.
|
||||
+ Cover Carousel View - Shows games in a carousel view.
|
||||
+ Wii Menu View - Shows games in a Wii Menu view.
|
||||
+ Parental Control - Locks USB Loader GX.
|
||||
+ Disc - Loads a game that is in the disc drive.
|
||||
|
||||
There are also other buttons at the bottom of the screen:
|
||||
|
||||
+ (+) Icon - "Install" a game, i.e. loading it from disc and dumping it to your preset storage device.
|
||||
+ Gears - Global settings for USB Loader GX.
|
||||
+ SD card - Remount the SD card.
|
||||
+ Homebrew - Load homebrew apps.

|
||||
+ Power Button - Turn off your Wii.
|
||||
|
||||
### Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
Although the majority of games should work as-is with default settings, some may require using a specific cIOS to function, or to utilize certain features within the game. Examples include:
|
||||
|
||||
+ Using a keyboard in Animal Crossing: City Folk.
|
||||
+ Running SpongeBob's Boating Bash.
|
||||
|
||||
A more comprehensive (although still incomplete) list can be found [here](https://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/Wii_cIOS_base_Compatibility_List).
|
||||
|
||||
To change the cIOS used for a specific game, follow the instructions specific to your USB loader:
|
||||
|
||||
#### USB Loader GX
|
||||
1. Select the game that isn't working.
|
||||
1. Click Settings.
|
||||
1. Select `Game Load`.
|
||||
1. Scroll down to `Game IOS`.
|
||||
1. Enter the IOS slot to use.
|
||||
+ Try using 250 or 251, if 249 doesn't work.
|
||||
1. Press OK and try to load the game.
|
||||
|
||||
#### WiiFlow Lite
|
||||
1. Select the game that isn't working.
|
||||
1. Click the gear icon.
|
||||
1. Go to cIOS and use the arrows to select the IOS slot to use.
|
||||
+ Try using 250 or 251, if 249 doesn't work.
|
||||
1. Press Save and try to load the game.
|
||||
|
||||
[Continue to Nintendont](nintendont) Now that you have installed a USB loader of some type for Wii games, you can install a similar type of application for effectively native playback of GameCube games.

Nintendont is a Wii-mode homebrew application that can be used to play GameCube games, as well as Triforce arcade dumps. Nintendont is an interesting app in that it is like a hybrid between an emulator and a virtual machine - while still running GameCube games near exactly at native quality and performance. Further info can be read [here](https://gbatemp.net/threads/nintendont.349258/).
|
||||
|
||||
To play games, you are advised to use a large SD card or an external hard drive, flash drives are very sporadic in functionality. See [storage FAQ](faq).
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|

Make sure your storage device is formatted as FAT32. Do not format it to other file systems like NTFS, exFAT, or WBFS.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
### Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
* A modded Wii
|
||||
* An SD card or USB device
|
||||
* [Nintendont](https://oscwii.org/library/app/Nintendont)
|
||||
|
||||
### Installation
|
||||
1. Download Nintendont and extract it to the root of your SD card or USB drive.
|
||||
1. Insert your SD card or USB device into your Wii, and launch Nintendont from the Homebrew Channel.
|
||||
|
||||
### Quick Start Guide
|
||||
|
||||
#### Key Features
|
||||
|
||||
+ You can use various input devices to play GameCube games. These include GameCube controllers (even via a USB adapter), Wiimotes, Classic Controllers, the Konga, HID USB controllers, Bluetooth controllers, and potentially more.
|
||||
+ Nintendont has support for virtual memory cards that are saved to an external storage device, from sizes of 51 blocks up to 1019 blocks. Despite this, the recommended max size is 251 blocks per virtual card for maximum compatibility.
|
||||
+ You can use a fan-made patch to enable online play in some games.
|
||||
+ Nintendont can be leveraged in either [WiiFlow Lite](usb-loaders#wiiflow-lite) or [USB Loader GX](usb-loaders#usb-loader-gx) for the loading of GameCube games.
|
||||
|
||||
#### User Interface
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Nintendont uses a user interface that is mainly controllable and navigable using a gamepad.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Properly Launching Games
|
||||
|
||||
Games in Nintendont have to be launched from an external device with a specific folder structure, with the usage of a game ID. Game IDs can be found on [GameTDB](https://www.gametdb.com).<br> The expected structure for single disc games is as follows:<br> `device:/games/(game name) [game ID]/game.iso`
|
||||
|
||||
The expected structure for multi disc games is as follows:<br> `device:/games/(game name) [game ID]/game.iso`<br> `device:/games/(game name) [game ID]/disc2.iso` (so on and so forth)
|
||||
|
||||
Here is an example using The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker on a USB hard drive:<br> `USB:/games/The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker [GZLE01]/game.iso`
|
||||
|
||||
#### BIOS Setup
|
||||
|
||||
You can use an original GameCube BIOS in Nintendont if you have legally obtained one.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Rename the BIOS file `iplusa.bin`/`ipljap.bin`/`iplpal.bin` based on its region.
|
||||
1. Copy it to the root of the storage device where Nintendont is installed on.
|
||||
1. Go into Nintendont settings and verify that `Load IPL` is turned ON.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Using a HID USB controller with Nintendont
|
||||
|
||||
By default, Nintendont selects a controller configuration from an internal list of already mapped controllers. If yours does not automatically work, make sure to check the supported controller list in the article at the top of the page. If you still want to check anyway, you can use [HIDTest](https://oscwii.org/library/app/HIDTest) to determine whether or not your controller will be detected and work with Nintendont.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Button combinations for Nintendont in-game
|
||||
|
||||
Restart: Resets the game and returns to game's title screen.<br> Shutdown: Exits nintendont and returns to the loader.<br>
|
||||
|
||||
Some games may have native button combinations to reset.
|
||||
|
||||
**GameCube Controller:**<br> Restart: R+Z+Start<br> Shutdown: R+Z+B+Down (D-pad)
|
||||
|
||||
**Wiimote + Nunchuck:**<br> Shutdown: HOME button on the Wiimote
|
||||
|
||||
**HID-USB controller or adapter:**<br> You can define the Shutdown button's combination yourself.<br> The Power button is defined in the controller.ini or in the correct controllers/PID_VID.ini file used by your gamepad.<br> Most commonly used combo with default HID settings:<br> Shutdown: L+R+Z+Start

* A USB drive or SD Card
|
||||
* The files for your desired mod
|
||||
* A clean physical copy of the disk the mod is for
|
||||
* A working disk drive
|
||||
* [Riivolution](https://oscwii.org/library/app/riivolution)
|
||||
|
||||
### Preparing the files
|
||||
|
||||
1. Extract Riivolution and put it in the `apps` folder on your SD card or USB drive.
|
||||
1. Extract your mod files according to the diagram below to the SD or USB drive. Depending on the mod you downloaded, it may or may not already come properly structured for you.
|
||||
1. Insert your SD card and/or USB drive into your Wii and launch Riivolution from the Homebrew Channel.
|
||||
1. Insert the disk into the Wii.
|
||||
+ Optional step: you can install the official riivolution forwarder channel to the Wii menu by selecting the install option to the right. This negates the need for having to launch the homebrew channel every time you want to launch riivolution.
|
||||
1. Enable the mod and select Launch. Depending on the mod, you may have different options for it.
|
||||
|
||||
Pay attention to the region your mod is meant for. NTSC is for U.S and Japan, and PAL is for Europe and Korea.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
### File Structure
|
||||
|
||||
Every Riivolution mod is different, and depending on which mod you choose, it may include more or less files than shown in this diagram.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
Do not get confused with the actual Riivolution app, and the Riivolution folder that goes on the root.

title: "USB Loaders"
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
|
||||
|
||||
This guide introduces USB loaders on the Wii. They can be primarily used to load game backups that were dumped from a retail game disc. Depending on the loader, there may also be extensions to allow it to function as a frontend for non-Wii games as well. The two most commonly used loaders are USB Loader GX and WiiFlow Lite (a regularly updated mod of the original WiiFlow) - one loader may work better for you than the other, so it's worth trying both out.
|
||||
|
||||
**Note about Configurable USB Loader:**<br> Due to the age and lack of support for Configurable USB Loader (last update was in 2011), this guide does not provide dedicated installation instructions. If enough demand is there, it may be added in the future.
|
||||
{: .notice--warning}
|
||||
|
||||
In order for a USB loader to function properly, you must have the correct cIOS installed. Please check [this](cios) guide for instructions if you are on Wii, and [this](cios-mini) guide if you are on Wii mini.
|
||||
{: .notice--warning}
|
||||
|
||||
To play games, you are advised to use a large SD card or an external hard drive, flash drives are very sporadic in functionality. See [storage FAQ](faq).
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
Forwarders to open these loaders on the Wii Menu can be found on the Open Shop Channel for [WiiFlow Lite](https://oscwii.org/library/app/wiiflow_channel_installer) or on the official SourceForge page for [USB Loader GX](https://sourceforge.net/projects/usbloadergx/files/Releases/Forwarders/USB%20Loader%20GX-UNEO_Forwarder_5_1_AHBPROT.wad/download). You can install either with [YAWM ModMii Edition](yawmme).
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|

### WiiFlow Lite
|
||||
|
||||
#### Requirements
|
||||
+ A modded Wii
|
||||
+ Fully installed [cIOS](cios)
|
||||
+ [WiiFlow](https://oscwii.org/library/app/wiiflow)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Installation
|
||||
|
||||
1. Ensure that your Wii already has cIOS 248-251 installed - this can be checked with applications like [SysChecker](syscheck) or d2x cIOS installer.
|
||||
1. Download WiiFlow and install it on your SD Card or USB device.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Quick Start Guide
|
||||
|
||||
##### General
|
||||
|
||||
+ WiiFlow by default is set to only find games on the SD card. This can be changed by going to `Settings > Startup Settings` to then turn off `Mount SD Only`.
|
||||
+ You can toggle the current view in Wiiflow between plugins, games, homebrew, and Wii channels by clicking the button to the left of `Home`, on the bottom right.
|
||||
+ You can download game covers by going to `Settings` > `Download Covers and Banners`.
|
||||
|
||||
##### User Interface
|
||||
|
||||
When WiiFlow detects games, they are displayed in flow view.<br> When you click on a game, you are given these options:
|
||||
+ Star - Adds game to favorites.
|
||||
+ Bookshelf - Adds the game to 1 of 6 categories of your choosing.
|
||||
+ Gears - Opens the settings menu for that game - these settings are unique to that game and that game only.
|
||||
+ X - Deletes the game from the USB drive or SD card.
|
||||
|
||||
When you bring the cursor to the bottom of the screen while in flow view, there are 6 icons:
|
||||
+ Bookshelf - View the games that are sorted in the categories you chose.
|
||||
+ Star - View games you favorited.
|
||||
+ Gears - Opens WiiFlow Settings.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### USB Loader GX
|
||||
|
||||
#### Requirements
|
||||
+ A modded Wii
|
||||
+ Fully installed [cIOS](cios)
|
||||
+ [USB Loader GX](https://oscwii.org/library/app/usbloader_gx)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Installation
|
||||
|
||||
1. Ensure that your Wii already has cIOS 248-251 installed - this can be checked with applications like [SysChecker](syscheck) or d2x cIOS installer.
|
||||
1. Download USB Loader GX and install it on your SD Card or USB device.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Quick Start Guide
|
||||
|
||||
##### General
|
||||
|
||||
+ If USB Loader GX says "Waiting for HDD..." with a 20 second countdown, it is very likely that it cannot detect your USB device. Try to exit out of the app, plug your USB device into the opposite port that it is currently in, and relaunch it.
|
||||
+ You can press the 1 Button on your Wii Remote to open up a dialog to download game covers and artwork from [GameTDB](https://gametdb.com/). It might take a while to download the game covers and artwork, depending the amount of games you have.
|
||||
+ GameCube or "custom" Wii games may or may not have a custom banner that USB Loader GX uses. To enable this, find or write `CustomBannersURL = http://banner.rc24.xyz/` in `config/GXGlobal.cfg` on the drive you installed the app on. Then, you can use the `Custom Banner` download by pressing the 1 Button on your Wii Remote.
|
||||
|
||||
##### User Interface
|
||||
|
||||
On the middle of the bottom of the screen, you can see how much space is free on your USB drive and how many games you have.
|
||||
|
||||
These are the functions of the buttons found on the bar at the top of the screen, from left to right:
|
||||
|
||||
+ Star - Shows games that you have marked as "favorites".
|
||||
+ Search - Lets you search for games by name.
|
||||
+ Sort - Cycles through sorting methods for games.
|
||||
+ Platform - Sorts games by platform.
|
||||
+ Category - Sorts games by category.
|
||||
+ List - Shows games in a list view.
|
||||
+ Multi-Cover View - Shows games in a multi-cover view.
|
||||
+ Cover Carousel View - Shows games in a carousel view.
|
||||
+ Wii Menu View - Shows games in a Wii Menu view.
|
||||
+ Parental Control - Locks USB Loader GX.
|
||||
+ Disc - Loads a game that is in the disc drive.
|
||||
|
||||
There are also other buttons at the bottom of the screen:
|
||||
|
||||
+ (+) Icon - "Install" a game, i.e. loading it from disc and dumping it to your preset storage device.
|
||||
+ Gears - Global settings for USB Loader GX.
|
||||
+ SD card - Remount the SD card.
|
||||
+ Homebrew - Load homebrew apps.
|
||||
+ Wii - Open the HOME Menu.
|
||||
+ Power Button - Turn off your Wii.
|
||||
|
||||
### Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
Although the majority of games should work as-is with default settings, some may require using a specific cIOS to function, or to utilize certain features within the game. Examples include:
|
||||
|
||||
+ Using a keyboard in Animal Crossing: City Folk.
|
||||
+ Running SpongeBob's Boating Bash.
|
||||
|
||||
A more comprehensive (although still incomplete) list can be found [here](https://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/Wii_cIOS_base_Compatibility_List).
|
||||
|
||||
To change the cIOS used for a specific game, follow the instructions specific to your USB loader:
|
||||
|
||||
#### USB Loader GX
|
||||

|
||||
1. Select `Game Load`.
|
||||
1. Scroll down to `Game IOS`.
|
||||
1. Enter the IOS slot to use.
|
||||
+ Try using 250 or 251, if 249 doesn't work.
|
||||
1. Press OK and try to load the game.
|
||||
|
||||
#### WiiFlow Lite
|
||||
1. Select the game that isn't working.

title: "GameCube Backup Manager"
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
|
||||
|
||||
GameCube Backup Manager is a convenient PC software that simplifies the process of transferring GameCube games to your USB drive or SD Card. It functions similar to the popular tool called [Wii Backup Manager](wiibackupmanager), allowing you to easily manage and organize your GameCube game backups. With this program, you can effortlessly copy your favorite GameCube games onto portable storage devices, making them readily accessible for future gaming sessions.
|
||||
|
||||
### Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
* An SD card or USB drive
|
||||
* [GameCube Backup Manager](https://github.com/AxionDrak/GameCube-Backup-Manager/releases)
|
||||
|
||||
To play multiple games, it is recommended to use an external hard drive for your Wii. Any external hard drive found on most modern marketplaces should work with your Wii.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
Make sure your USB drive is formatted as FAT32. Do not format it as other types such as NTFS, exFAT, extFS, or WBFS, the latter being an outdated filesystem for storing Wii games.
|
||||

{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
|
||||
|
||||
Nintendont is a Wii-mode homebrew application that can be used to play GameCube games, as well as Triforce arcade dumps. Nintendont is an interesting app in that it is like a hybrid between an emulator and a virtual machine - while still running GameCube games near exactly at native quality and performance. Further info can be read [here](https://gbatemp.net/threads/nintendont.349258/).
|
||||
|
||||
To play games, you are advised to use a large SD card or an external hard drive, flash drives are very sporadic in functionality. See [storage FAQ](faq).
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
Make sure your storage device is formatted as FAT32. Do not format it to other file systems like NTFS, exFAT, or WBFS.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
### Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
* A modded Wii
|
||||
* An SD card or USB device
|
||||
* [Nintendont](https://oscwii.org/library/app/Nintendont)
|
||||
|
||||
### Installation
|
||||
1. Download Nintendont and extract it to the root of your SD card or USB drive.
|
||||
1. Insert your SD card or USB device into your Wii, and launch Nintendont from the Homebrew Channel.
|
||||
|
||||
### Quick Start Guide
|
||||
|
||||
#### Key Features
|
||||
|
||||
+ You can use various input devices to play GameCube games. These include GameCube controllers (even via a USB adapter), Wiimotes, Classic Controllers, the Konga, HID USB controllers, Bluetooth controllers, and potentially more.
|
||||
+ Nintendont has support for virtual memory cards that are saved to an external storage device, from sizes of 51 blocks up to 1019 blocks. Despite this, the recommended max size is 251 blocks per virtual card for maximum compatibility.
|
||||
+ You can use a fan-made patch to enable online play in some games.
|
||||
+ Nintendont can be leveraged in either [WiiFlow Lite](wii-loaders#wiiflow-lite) or [USB Loader GX](wii-loaders#usb-loader-gx) for the loading of GameCube games.
|
||||
|
||||
#### User Interface
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Nintendont uses a user interface that is mainly controllable and navigable using a gamepad.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Properly Launching Games
|
||||
|
||||
Games in Nintendont have to be launched from an external device with a specific folder structure, with the usage of a game ID. Game IDs can be found on [GameTDB](https://www.gametdb.com).<br> The expected structure for single disc games is as follows:<br>
|
||||
```
|
||||
💾SD/USB:
|
||||
┗ 📂games
|
||||
┗ 📂GameName [gameID]
|
||||
┗ 📜game.iso or 📜game.ciso
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The expected structure for multi disc games is as follows:<br>
|
||||
```
|
||||
💾SD/USB:
|
||||
┗ 📂games
|
||||
┗ 📂GameName [gameID]
|
||||
┣ 📜game.iso or 📜game.ciso
|
||||
┗ 📜disc2.iso or 📜disc2.ciso
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Here is an example using The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker on a USB hard drive:<br>
|
||||
```
|
||||
💾SD/USB:
|
||||
┗ 📂games
|
||||
┗ 📂The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker [GZLE01]
|
||||
┗ 📜game.iso or 📜game.ciso
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### BIOS Setup
|
||||
|
||||
You can use an original GameCube BIOS in Nintendont if you have legally obtained one.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Rename the BIOS file `iplusa.bin`/`ipljap.bin`/`iplpal.bin` based on its region.
|
||||
1. Copy it to the root of the storage device where your GameCube games are on.
|
||||
1. Go into Nintendont settings and verify that `Skip IPL` is turned OFF.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Using a HID USB controller with Nintendont
|
||||
|
||||
By default, Nintendont selects a controller configuration from an internal list of already mapped controllers. If yours does not automatically work, make sure to check the supported controller list in the article at the top of the page. If you still want to check anyway, you can use [HIDTest](https://oscwii.org/library/app/HIDTest) to determine whether or not your controller will be detected and work with Nintendont.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Button combinations for Nintendont in-game
|
||||
|
||||
Restart: Resets the game and returns to game's title screen.<br> Shutdown: Exits nintendont and returns to the loader.<br>
|
||||
|
||||
Some games may have native button combinations to reset.
|
||||
|
||||
**GameCube Controller:**<br> Restart: R+Z+Start<br> Shutdown: R+Z+B+Down (D-pad)
|
||||
|
||||
**Wiimote + Nunchuck:**<br> Shutdown: HOME button on the Wiimote
|
||||
|
||||
**HID-USB controller or adapter:**<br> You can define the Shutdown button's combination yourself.<br> The Power button is defined in the controller.ini or in the correct controllers/PID_VID.ini file used by your gamepad.<br> Most commonly used combo with default HID settings:<br> Shutdown: L+R+Z+Start

{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
|
||||
|
||||
This is a quick start guide on how to use Riivolution, an on-the-fly disk patcher for the Wii that is used to play Wii game mods.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to use Riivolution on a Wii mini, a WiFi card must be soldered and Wii IOSes must be installed.
|
||||
{: .notice--warning}
|
||||
|
||||
Riivolution requires a working disk drive and a clean physical copy of the disk the desired mod is for. Scratched disks may or may not work very well or at all.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
* A Wii
|
||||
* A USB drive or SD Card
|
||||
* The files for your desired mod
|
||||
* A clean physical copy of the disk the mod is for
|
||||
* A working disk drive
|
||||
* [Riivolution](https://oscwii.org/library/app/riivolution)
|
||||
|
||||
### Preparing the files
|
||||
|
||||
1. Extract Riivolution and put it in the `apps` folder on your SD card or USB drive.
|
||||
1. Extract your mod files according to the diagram below to the SD or USB drive. Depending on the mod you downloaded, it may or may not already come properly structured for you.
|
||||
1. Insert your SD card and/or USB drive into your Wii and launch Riivolution from the Homebrew Channel.
|
||||
1. Insert the disk into the Wii.
|
||||
+ Optional step: you can install the official riivolution forwarder channel to the Wii menu by selecting the install option to the right. This negates the need for having to launch the homebrew channel every time you want to launch riivolution.
|
||||
1. Enable the mod and select Launch. Depending on the mod, you may have different options for it.
|
||||
|
||||
Pay attention to the region your mod is meant for. NTSC is for U.S and Japan, and PAL is for Europe and Korea.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
### File Structure
|
||||
|
||||
Every Riivolution mod is different, and depending on which mod you choose, it may include more or less files than shown in this diagram.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
Do not get confused with the actual Riivolution app, and the Riivolution folder that goes on the root.

title: "USB Loaders"
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
|
||||
|
||||
This guide introduces USB loaders on the Wii. They can be primarily used to load game backups that were dumped from a retail game disc. Depending on the loader, there may also be extensions to allow it to function as a frontend for non-Wii games as well. The two most commonly used loaders are USB Loader GX and WiiFlow Lite (a regularly updated mod of the original WiiFlow) - one loader may work better for you than the other, so it's worth trying both out.
|
||||
|
||||
**Note about Configurable USB Loader:**<br> Due to the age and lack of support for Configurable USB Loader (last update was in 2011), this guide does not provide dedicated installation instructions. If enough demand is there, it may be added in the future.
|
||||
{: .notice--warning}
|
||||
|
||||
In order for a USB loader to function properly, you must have the correct cIOS installed. Please check [this](cios) guide for instructions if you are on Wii, and [this](cios-mini) guide if you are on Wii mini.
|
||||
{: .notice--warning}
|
||||
|
||||
To play games, you are advised to use a large SD card or an external hard drive, flash drives are very sporadic in functionality. See [storage FAQ](faq).
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
Forwarders to open these loaders on the Wii Menu can be found on the Open Shop Channel for [WiiFlow Lite](https://oscwii.org/library/app/wiiflow_channel_installer) or on the official SourceForge page for [USB Loader GX](https://sourceforge.net/projects/usbloadergx/files/Releases/Forwarders/USB%20Loader%20GX-UNEO_Forwarder_5_1_AHBPROT.wad/download). You can install either with [YAWM ModMii Edition](yawmme).

|
||||
|
||||
#### Requirements
|
||||
+ A modded Wii
|
||||
+ Fully installed [cIOS](cios)
|
||||
+ [WiiFlow](https://oscwii.org/library/app/wiiflow)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Installation
|
||||
|
||||
1. Ensure that your Wii already has cIOS 248-251 installed - this can be checked with applications like [SysChecker](syscheck) or d2x cIOS installer.
|
||||
1. Download WiiFlow and install it on your SD Card or USB device.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Quick Start Guide
|
||||
|
||||
##### General
|
||||
|
||||
+ WiiFlow by default is set to only find games on the SD card. This can be changed by going to `Settings > Startup Settings` to then turn off `Mount SD Only`.
|
||||
+ You can toggle the current view in Wiiflow between plugins, games, homebrew, and Wii channels by clicking the button to the left of `Home`, on the bottom right.
|
||||
+ You can download game covers by going to `Settings` > `Download Covers and Banners`.
|
||||
|
||||
##### User Interface
|
||||
|
||||
When WiiFlow detects games, they are displayed in flow view.<br> When you click on a game, you are given these options:
|
||||
+ Star - Adds game to favorites.
|
||||
+ Bookshelf - Adds the game to 1 of 6 categories of your choosing.
|
||||
+ Gears - Opens the settings menu for that game - these settings are unique to that game and that game only.
|
||||
+ X - Deletes the game from the USB drive or SD card.
|
||||
|
||||
When you bring the cursor to the bottom of the screen while in flow view, there are 6 icons:
|
||||
+ Bookshelf - View the games that are sorted in the categories you chose.
|
||||
+ Star - View games you favorited.
|
||||
+ Gears - Opens WiiFlow Settings.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### USB Loader GX
|
||||
|
||||
#### Requirements
|
||||
+ A modded Wii
|
||||
+ Fully installed [cIOS](cios)
|
||||
+ [USB Loader GX](https://oscwii.org/library/app/usbloader_gx)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Installation
|
||||
|
||||
1. Ensure that your Wii already has cIOS 248-251 installed - this can be checked with applications like [SysChecker](syscheck) or d2x cIOS installer.
|
||||
1. Download USB Loader GX and install it on your SD Card or USB device.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Quick Start Guide
|
||||
|
||||
##### General
|
||||
|
||||
+ If USB Loader GX says "Waiting for HDD..." with a 20 second countdown, it is very likely that it cannot detect your USB device. Try to exit out of the app, plug your USB device into the opposite port that it is currently in, and relaunch it.
|
||||
+ You can press the 1 Button on your Wii Remote to open up a dialog to download game covers and artwork from [GameTDB](https://gametdb.com/). It might take a while to download the game covers and artwork, depending the amount of games you have.
|
||||
+ GameCube or "custom" Wii games may or may not have a custom banner that USB Loader GX uses. To enable this, find or write `CustomBannersURL = http://banner.rc24.xyz/` in `config/GXGlobal.cfg` on the drive you installed the app on. Then, you can use the `Custom Banner` download by pressing the 1 Button on your Wii Remote.
|
||||
|
||||
##### User Interface
|
||||
|
||||
On the middle of the bottom of the screen, you can see how much space is free on your USB drive and how many games you have.
|
||||
|
||||
These are the functions of the buttons found on the bar at the top of the screen, from left to right:
|
||||
|
||||
+ Star - Shows games that you have marked as "favorites".
|
||||
+ Search - Lets you search for games by name.
|
||||
+ Sort - Cycles through sorting methods for games.
|
||||
+ Platform - Sorts games by platform.
|
||||
+ Category - Sorts games by category.
|
||||

|
||||
+ Multi-Cover View - Shows games in a multi-cover view.
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
+ Parental Control - Locks USB Loader GX.
|
||||
+ Disc - Loads a game that is in the disc drive.
|
||||
|
||||
There are also other buttons at the bottom of the screen:
|
||||
|
||||
+ (+) Icon - "Install" a game, i.e. loading it from disc and dumping it to your preset storage device.
|
||||

||||
+ Power Button - Turn off your Wii.
|
||||
|
||||
### Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
Although the majority of games should work as-is with default settings, some may require using a specific cIOS to function, or to utilize certain features within the game. Examples include:
|
||||
|
||||
+ Using a keyboard in Animal Crossing: City Folk.
|
||||
+ Running SpongeBob's Boating Bash.
|
||||
|
||||
A more comprehensive (although still incomplete) list can be found [here](https://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/Wii_cIOS_base_Compatibility_List).
|
||||
|
||||

{% include toc title="Tabla de contenido" %}
|
||||
|
||||
Wii Backup Manager is a program to copy Wii games from your computer to a USB drive so you can play the games on your Wii. It also can download game covers from [GameTDB](https://gametdb.com/) and can be used to list what games you have. This tutorial will tell you how to copy over games from your computer to your USB drive. The other features are able to be used in the easy-to-use interface.
|
||||
|
||||
### Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
* A PC running Windows
|
||||
* Una unidad USB
|
||||
* [Wii Backup Manager](https://static.wiidatabase.de/Wii-Backup-Manager.zip)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
We recommend you copy games over with [Witgui](https://desairem.com/wordpress/category/witgui-download/) if you use macOS, or [Wii Backup Fusion](https://github.com/larsenv/Wii-Backup-Fusion) for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Wii Backup Manager is only compatible with Windows.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
To play multiple games, we recommend a USB-powered external hard drive for your Wii. We will refer to it as a "USB drive" in this guide. Most of the ones you can find on the market should work fine if they have USB 2 backwards compatibility.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
A flash drive is not recommended, as they are small and may vary in behavior even between the same product. <br> As an alternative, you may simply use an SD card, but the Wii's SD card slot is slow.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
Make sure your USB drive is formatted as FAT32 or NTFS. Do not format it as other types such as exFAT, extFS, or WBFS, the latter is an old format of storing Wii games. <br> You may format it as NTFS, but it won't work with a majority of apps (eg. The Homebrew Channel, Nintendont)

{% include toc title="Índice" %}
|
||||
|
||||
Nintendont is a Wii-mode homebrew application that can be used to play GameCube games, as well as Triforce arcade dumps. Nintendont is an interesting app in that it is like a hybrid between an emulator and a virtual machine - while still running GameCube games near exactly at native quality and performance. Further info can be read [here](https://gbatemp.net/threads/nintendont.349258/).
|
||||
|
||||
To play games, you are advised to use a large SD card or an external hard drive, flash drives are very sporadic in functionality. See [storage FAQ](faq).
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
Make sure your storage device is formatted as FAT32. Do not format it to other file systems like NTFS, exFAT, or WBFS.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
### Requisitos
|
||||
|
||||
* A modded Wii
|
||||
* An SD card or USB device
|
||||
* [Nintendont](https://oscwii.org/library/app/Nintendont)
|
||||
|
||||
### Installation
|
||||
1. Download Nintendont and extract it to the root of your SD card or USB drive.
|
||||
1. Insert your SD card or USB device into your Wii, and launch Nintendont from the Homebrew Channel.
|
||||
|
||||
### Quick Start Guide
|
||||
|
||||
#### Key Features
|
||||
|
||||
+ You can use various input devices to play GameCube games. These include GameCube controllers (even via a USB adapter), Wiimotes, Classic Controllers, the Konga, HID USB controllers, Bluetooth controllers, and potentially more.
|
||||
+ Nintendont has support for virtual memory cards that are saved to an external storage device, from sizes of 51 blocks up to 1019 blocks. Despite this, the recommended max size is 251 blocks per virtual card for maximum compatibility.
|
||||
+ You can use a fan-made patch to enable online play in some games.
|
||||
+ Nintendont can be leveraged in either [WiiFlow Lite](wii-loaders#wiiflow-lite) or [USB Loader GX](wii-loaders#usb-loader-gx) for the loading of GameCube games.
|
||||
|
||||
#### User Interface
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Nintendont uses a user interface that is mainly controllable and navigable using a gamepad.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Properly Launching Games
|
||||
|
||||
Games in Nintendont have to be launched from an external device with a specific folder structure, with the usage of a game ID. Game IDs can be found on [GameTDB](https://www.gametdb.com).<br> The expected structure for single disc games is as follows:<br>
|
||||
```
|
||||
💾SD/USB:
|
||||
┗ 📂games
|
||||
┗ 📂GameName [gameID]
|
||||
┗ 📜game.iso or 📜game.ciso
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The expected structure for multi disc games is as follows:<br>
|
||||
```
|
||||
💾SD/USB:
|
||||
┗ 📂games
|
||||
┗ 📂GameName [gameID]
|
||||
┣ 📜game.iso or 📜game.ciso
|
||||
┗ 📜disc2.iso or 📜disc2.ciso
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Here is an example using The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker on a USB hard drive:<br>
|
||||
```
|
||||
💾SD/USB:
|
||||
┗ 📂games
|
||||
┗ 📂The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker [GZLE01]
|
||||
┗ 📜game.iso or 📜game.ciso
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### BIOS Setup
|
||||
|
||||
You can use an original GameCube BIOS in Nintendont if you have legally obtained one.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Rename the BIOS file `iplusa.bin`/`ipljap.bin`/`iplpal.bin` based on its region.
|
||||
1. Copy it to the root of the storage device where your GameCube games are on.
|
||||
1. Go into Nintendont settings and verify that `Skip IPL` is turned OFF.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Using a HID USB controller with Nintendont
|
||||
|
||||
By default, Nintendont selects a controller configuration from an internal list of already mapped controllers. If yours does not automatically work, make sure to check the supported controller list in the article at the top of the page. If you still want to check anyway, you can use [HIDTest](https://oscwii.org/library/app/HIDTest) to determine whether or not your controller will be detected and work with Nintendont.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Button combinations for Nintendont in-game
|
||||
|
||||
Restart: Resets the game and returns to game's title screen.<br> Shutdown: Exits nintendont and returns to the loader.<br>
|
||||
|
||||
Some games may have native button combinations to reset.
|
||||
|
||||
**GameCube Controller:**<br> Restart: R+Z+Start<br> Shutdown: R+Z+B+Down (D-pad)
|
||||
|
||||
**Wiimote + Nunchuck:**<br> Shutdown: HOME button on the Wiimote
|
||||
|
||||
**HID-USB controller or adapter:**<br> You can define the Shutdown button's combination yourself.<br> The Power button is defined in the controller.ini or in the correct controllers/PID_VID.ini file used by your gamepad.<br> Most commonly used combo with default HID settings:<br> Shutdown: L+R+Z+Start

1. Insert the disk into the Wii.
|
||||
+ Optional step: you can install the official riivolution forwarder channel to the Wii menu by selecting the install option to the right. This negates the need for having to launch the homebrew channel every time you want to launch riivolution.
|
||||
1. Enable the mod and select Launch. Depending on the mod, you may have different options for it.
|
||||
|
||||
Pay attention to the region your mod is meant for. NTSC is for U.S and Japan, and PAL is for Europe and Korea.

### File Structure
|
||||
|
||||
Every Riivolution mod is different, and depending on which mod you choose, it may include more or less files than shown in this diagram.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
Do not get confused with the actual Riivolution app, and the Riivolution folder that goes on the root.

title: "USB Loaders"
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
{% include toc title="Índice" %}
|
||||
|
||||
This guide introduces USB loaders on the Wii. They can be primarily used to load game backups that were dumped from a retail game disc. Depending on the loader, there may also be extensions to allow it to function as a frontend for non-Wii games as well. The two most commonly used loaders are USB Loader GX and WiiFlow Lite (a regularly updated mod of the original WiiFlow) - one loader may work better for you than the other, so it's worth trying both out.
|
||||
|
||||
**Note about Configurable USB Loader:**<br> Due to the age and lack of support for Configurable USB Loader (last update was in 2011), this guide does not provide dedicated installation instructions. If enough demand is there, it may be added in the future.
|
||||
{: .notice--warning}
|
||||
|
||||
In order for a USB loader to function properly, you must have the correct cIOS installed. Please check [this](cios) guide for instructions if you are on Wii, and [this](cios-mini) guide if you are on Wii mini.
|
||||
{: .notice--warning}
|
||||
|
||||
To play games, you are advised to use a large SD card or an external hard drive, flash drives are very sporadic in functionality. See [storage FAQ](faq).
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
Forwarders to open these loaders on the Wii Menu can be found on the Open Shop Channel for [WiiFlow Lite](https://oscwii.org/library/app/wiiflow_channel_installer) or on the official SourceForge page for [USB Loader GX](https://sourceforge.net/projects/usbloadergx/files/Releases/Forwarders/USB%20Loader%20GX-UNEO_Forwarder_5_1_AHBPROT.wad/download). You can install either with [YAWM ModMii Edition](yawmme).

|
||||
|
||||
#### Requisitos
|
||||
+ A modded Wii
|
||||
+ Fully installed [cIOS](cios)
|
||||
+ [WiiFlow](https://oscwii.org/library/app/wiiflow)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Installation
|
||||
|
||||
1. Ensure that your Wii already has cIOS 248-251 installed - this can be checked with applications like [SysChecker](syscheck) or d2x cIOS installer.
|
||||
1. Download WiiFlow and install it on your SD Card or USB device.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Quick Start Guide
|
||||
|
||||
##### General
|
||||
|
||||
+ WiiFlow by default is set to only find games on the SD card. This can be changed by going to `Settings > Startup Settings` to then turn off `Mount SD Only`.
|
||||
+ You can toggle the current view in Wiiflow between plugins, games, homebrew, and Wii channels by clicking the button to the left of `Home`, on the bottom right.
|
||||
+ You can download game covers by going to `Settings` > `Download Covers and Banners`.
|
||||
|
||||
##### User Interface
|
||||
|
||||
When WiiFlow detects games, they are displayed in flow view.<br> When you click on a game, you are given these options:
|
||||
+ Star - Adds game to favorites.
|
||||
+ Bookshelf - Adds the game to 1 of 6 categories of your choosing.
|
||||
+ Gears - Opens the settings menu for that game - these settings are unique to that game and that game only.
|
||||
+ X - Deletes the game from the USB drive or SD card.
|
||||
|
||||
When you bring the cursor to the bottom of the screen while in flow view, there are 6 icons:
|
||||
+ Bookshelf - View the games that are sorted in the categories you chose.
|
||||
+ Star - View games you favorited.
|
||||
+ Gears - Opens WiiFlow Settings.
|
||||

### USB Loader GX
|
||||
|
||||
#### Requisitos
|
||||
+ A modded Wii
|
||||
+ Fully installed [cIOS](cios)
|
||||
+ [USB Loader GX](https://oscwii.org/library/app/usbloader_gx)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Installation
|
||||
|
||||
1. Ensure that your Wii already has cIOS 248-251 installed - this can be checked with applications like [SysChecker](syscheck) or d2x cIOS installer.
|
||||
1. Download USB Loader GX and install it on your SD Card or USB device.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Quick Start Guide
|
||||
|
||||
##### General
|
||||
|
||||
+ If USB Loader GX says "Waiting for HDD..." with a 20 second countdown, it is very likely that it cannot detect your USB device. Try to exit out of the app, plug your USB device into the opposite port that it is currently in, and relaunch it.
|
||||
+ You can press the 1 Button on your Wii Remote to open up a dialog to download game covers and artwork from [GameTDB](https://gametdb.com/). It might take a while to download the game covers and artwork, depending the amount of games you have.
|
||||
+ GameCube or "custom" Wii games may or may not have a custom banner that USB Loader GX uses. To enable this, find or write `CustomBannersURL = http://banner.rc24.xyz/` in `config/GXGlobal.cfg` on the drive you installed the app on. Then, you can use the `Custom Banner` download by pressing the 1 Button on your Wii Remote.
|
||||
|
||||
##### User Interface
|
||||
|
||||
On the middle of the bottom of the screen, you can see how much space is free on your USB drive and how many games you have.

||||
These are the functions of the buttons found on the bar at the top of the screen, from left to right:
|
||||
|
||||
+ Star - Shows games that you have marked as "favorites".
|
||||
+ Search - Lets you search for games by name.
|
||||
+ Sort - Cycles through sorting methods for games.
|
||||
+ Platform - Sorts games by platform.
|
||||
+ Category - Sorts games by category.
|
||||

||||
+ Power Button - Turn off your Wii.
|
||||
|
||||
### Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
Although the majority of games should work as-is with default settings, some may require using a specific cIOS to function, or to utilize certain features within the game. Examples include:
|
||||
|
||||
+ Using a keyboard in Animal Crossing: City Folk.
|
||||
+ Running SpongeBob's Boating Bash.
|
||||
|
||||
A more comprehensive (although still incomplete) list can be found [here](https://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/Wii_cIOS_base_Compatibility_List).
|
||||

||||
1. Select `Game Load`.
|
||||
1. Scroll down to `Game IOS`.
|
||||
1. Enter the IOS slot to use.
|
||||
+ Try using 250 or 251, if 249 doesn't work.
|
||||
1. Press OK and try to load the game.
|
||||
|
||||
#### WiiFlow Lite
|
||||
1. Select the game that isn't working.

|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||

{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
|
||||
|
||||
Nintendont is a Wii-mode homebrew application that can be used to play GameCube games, as well as Triforce arcade dumps. Nintendont is an interesting app in that it is like a hybrid between an emulator and a virtual machine - while still running GameCube games near exactly at native quality and performance. Further info can be read [here](https://gbatemp.net/threads/nintendont.349258/).
|
||||
|
||||
To play games, you are advised to use a large SD card or an external hard drive, flash drives are very sporadic in functionality. See [storage FAQ](faq).
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
Make sure your storage device is formatted as FAT32. Do not format it to other file systems like NTFS, exFAT, or WBFS.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
### Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
* A modded Wii
|
||||
* An SD card or USB device
|
||||
* [Nintendont](https://oscwii.org/library/app/Nintendont)
|
||||
|
||||
### Installation
|
||||
1. Download Nintendont and extract it to the root of your SD card or USB drive.
|
||||
1. Insert your SD card or USB device into your Wii, and launch Nintendont from the Homebrew Channel.
|
||||
|
||||
### Quick Start Guide
|
||||
|
||||
#### Key Features
|
||||
|
||||
+ You can use various input devices to play GameCube games. These include GameCube controllers (even via a USB adapter), Wiimotes, Classic Controllers, the Konga, HID USB controllers, Bluetooth controllers, and potentially more.
|
||||
+ Nintendont has support for virtual memory cards that are saved to an external storage device, from sizes of 51 blocks up to 1019 blocks. Despite this, the recommended max size is 251 blocks per virtual card for maximum compatibility.
|
||||
+ You can use a fan-made patch to enable online play in some games.
|
||||
+ Nintendont can be leveraged in either [WiiFlow Lite](usb-loaders#wiiflow-lite) or [USB Loader GX](usb-loaders#usb-loader-gx) for the loading of GameCube games.
|
||||
|
||||
#### User Interface
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Nintendont uses a user interface that is mainly controllable and navigable using a gamepad.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Properly Launching Games
|
||||
|
||||
Games in Nintendont have to be launched from an external device with a specific folder structure, with the usage of a game ID. Game IDs can be found on [GameTDB](https://www.gametdb.com).<br> The expected structure for single disc games is as follows:<br> `device:/games/(game name) [game ID]/game.iso`
|
||||
|
||||
The expected structure for multi disc games is as follows:<br> `device:/games/(game name) [game ID]/game.iso`<br> `device:/games/(game name) [game ID]/disc2.iso` (so on and so forth)
|
||||
|
||||
Here is an example using The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker on a USB hard drive:<br> `USB:/games/The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker [GZLE01]/game.iso`
|
||||
|
||||
#### BIOS Setup
|
||||
|
||||
You can use an original GameCube BIOS in Nintendont if you have legally obtained one.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Rename the BIOS file `iplusa.bin`/`ipljap.bin`/`iplpal.bin` based on its region.
|
||||
1. Copy it to the root of the storage device where Nintendont is installed on.
|
||||
1. Go into Nintendont settings and verify that `Load IPL` is turned ON.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Using a HID USB controller with Nintendont
|
||||
|
||||
By default, Nintendont selects a controller configuration from an internal list of already mapped controllers. If yours does not automatically work, make sure to check the supported controller list in the article at the top of the page. If you still want to check anyway, you can use [HIDTest](https://oscwii.org/library/app/HIDTest) to determine whether or not your controller will be detected and work with Nintendont.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Button combinations for Nintendont in-game
|
||||
|
||||
Restart: Resets the game and returns to game's title screen.<br> Shutdown: Exits nintendont and returns to the loader.<br>
|
||||
|
||||
Some games may have native button combinations to reset.
|
||||
|
||||
**GameCube Controller:**<br> Restart: R+Z+Start<br> Shutdown: R+Z+B+Down (D-pad)
|
||||
|
||||
**Wiimote + Nunchuck:**<br> Shutdown: HOME button on the Wiimote
|
||||
|
||||
**HID-USB controller or adapter:**<br> You can define the Shutdown button's combination yourself.<br> The Power button is defined in the controller.ini or in the correct controllers/PID_VID.ini file used by your gamepad.<br> Most commonly used combo with default HID settings:<br> Shutdown: L+R+Z+Start

Riivolution requires a working disk drive and a clean physical copy of the disk the desired mod is for. Scratched disks may or may not work very well or at all.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
* A Wii
|
||||
* A USB drive or SD Card
|
||||
* The files for your desired mod
|
||||
* A clean physical copy of the disk the mod is for
|
||||
* A working disk drive
|
||||
* [Riivolution](https://oscwii.org/library/app/riivolution)
|
||||
|
||||
### Preparing the files
|
||||
|
||||
1. Extract Riivolution and put it in the `apps` folder on your SD card or USB drive.
|

1. Extract your mod files according to the diagram below to the SD or USB drive. Depending on the mod you downloaded, it may or may not already come properly structured for you.
|
||||
1. Insert your SD card and/or USB drive into your Wii and launch Riivolution from the Homebrew Channel.
|
||||
1. Insert the disk into the Wii.
|
||||

title: "USB Loaders"
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
|
||||
|
||||
This guide introduces USB loaders on the Wii. They can be primarily used to load game backups that were dumped from a retail game disc. Depending on the loader, there may also be extensions to allow it to function as a frontend for non-Wii games as well. The two most commonly used loaders are USB Loader GX and WiiFlow Lite (a regularly updated mod of the original WiiFlow) - one loader may work better for you than the other, so it's worth trying both out.
|
||||
|
||||
**Note about Configurable USB Loader:**<br> Due to the age and lack of support for Configurable USB Loader (last update was in 2011), this guide does not provide dedicated installation instructions. If enough demand is there, it may be added in the future.
|
||||
{: .notice--warning}
|
||||
|
||||
In order for a USB loader to function properly, you must have the correct cIOS installed. Please check [this](cios) guide for instructions if you are on Wii, and [this](cios-mini) guide if you are on Wii mini.
|
||||
{: .notice--warning}
|
||||
|
||||
To play games, you are advised to use a large SD card or an external hard drive, flash drives are very sporadic in functionality. See [storage FAQ](faq).
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
Forwarders to open these loaders on the Wii Menu can be found on the Open Shop Channel for [WiiFlow Lite](https://oscwii.org/library/app/wiiflow_channel_installer) or on the official SourceForge page for [USB Loader GX](https://sourceforge.net/projects/usbloadergx/files/Releases/Forwarders/USB%20Loader%20GX-UNEO_Forwarder_5_1_AHBPROT.wad/download). You can install either with [YAWM ModMii Edition](yawmme).
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|

### WiiFlow Lite
|
||||
|
||||
#### Requirements
|
||||
+ A modded Wii
|
||||
+ Fully installed [cIOS](cios)
|
||||
+ [WiiFlow](https://oscwii.org/library/app/wiiflow)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Installation
|
||||
|
||||
1. Ensure that your Wii already has cIOS 248-251 installed - this can be checked with applications like [SysChecker](syscheck) or d2x cIOS installer.
|
||||
1. Download WiiFlow and install it on your SD Card or USB device.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Quick Start Guide
|
||||
|
||||
##### General
|
||||
|
||||
+ WiiFlow by default is set to only find games on the SD card. This can be changed by going to `Settings > Startup Settings` to then turn off `Mount SD Only`.
|
||||
+ You can toggle the current view in Wiiflow between plugins, games, homebrew, and Wii channels by clicking the button to the left of `Home`, on the bottom right.
|
||||
+ You can download game covers by going to `Settings` > `Download Covers and Banners`.
|
||||
|
||||
##### User Interface
|
||||
|
||||
When WiiFlow detects games, they are displayed in flow view.<br> When you click on a game, you are given these options:
|
||||
+ Star - Adds game to favorites.
|
||||
+ Bookshelf - Adds the game to 1 of 6 categories of your choosing.
|
||||
+ Gears - Opens the settings menu for that game - these settings are unique to that game and that game only.
|
||||
+ X - Deletes the game from the USB drive or SD card.
|
||||
|
||||
When you bring the cursor to the bottom of the screen while in flow view, there are 6 icons:
|
||||
+ Bookshelf - View the games that are sorted in the categories you chose.
|
||||
+ Star - View games you favorited.
|
||||
+ Gears - Opens WiiFlow Settings.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### USB Loader GX
|
||||
|
||||
#### Requirements
|
||||
+ A modded Wii
|
||||
+ Fully installed [cIOS](cios)
|
||||
+ [USB Loader GX](https://oscwii.org/library/app/usbloader_gx)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Installation
|
||||
|
||||
1. Ensure that your Wii already has cIOS 248-251 installed - this can be checked with applications like [SysChecker](syscheck) or d2x cIOS installer.
|
||||
1. Download USB Loader GX and install it on your SD Card or USB device.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Quick Start Guide
|
||||
|
||||
##### General
|
||||
|
||||
+ If USB Loader GX says "Waiting for HDD..." with a 20 second countdown, it is very likely that it cannot detect your USB device. Try to exit out of the app, plug your USB device into the opposite port that it is currently in, and relaunch it.
|
||||
+ You can press the 1 Button on your Wii Remote to open up a dialog to download game covers and artwork from [GameTDB](https://gametdb.com/). It might take a while to download the game covers and artwork, depending the amount of games you have.
|
||||
+ GameCube or "custom" Wii games may or may not have a custom banner that USB Loader GX uses. To enable this, find or write `CustomBannersURL = http://banner.rc24.xyz/` in `config/GXGlobal.cfg` on the drive you installed the app on. Then, you can use the `Custom Banner` download by pressing the 1 Button on your Wii Remote.
|
||||
|
||||
##### User Interface
|
||||
|
||||
On the middle of the bottom of the screen, you can see how much space is free on your USB drive and how many games you have.
|
||||
|
||||
These are the functions of the buttons found on the bar at the top of the screen, from left to right:
|
||||
|
||||
+ Star - Shows games that you have marked as "favorites".
|
||||
+ Search - Lets you search for games by name.
|
||||
+ Sort - Cycles through sorting methods for games.
|
||||
+ Platform - Sorts games by platform.
|
||||
+ Category - Sorts games by category.
|
||||
+ List - Shows games in a list view.
|
||||
+ Multi-Cover View - Shows games in a multi-cover view.
|
||||
+ Cover Carousel View - Shows games in a carousel view.
|
||||
+ Wii Menu View - Shows games in a Wii Menu view.
|
||||
+ Parental Control - Locks USB Loader GX.
|
||||
+ Disc - Loads a game that is in the disc drive.
|
||||
|
||||
There are also other buttons at the bottom of the screen:
|
||||
|
||||
+ (+) Icon - "Install" a game, i.e. loading it from disc and dumping it to your preset storage device.
|
||||
+ Gears - Global settings for USB Loader GX.
|
||||
+ SD card - Remount the SD card.
|
||||
+ Homebrew - Load homebrew apps.

||||
+ Power Button - Turn off your Wii.
|
||||
|
||||
### Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
Although the majority of games should work as-is with default settings, some may require using a specific cIOS to function, or to utilize certain features within the game. Examples include:
|
||||
|
||||
+ Using a keyboard in Animal Crossing: City Folk.
|
||||
+ Running SpongeBob's Boating Bash.
|
||||
|
||||
A more comprehensive (although still incomplete) list can be found [here](https://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/Wii_cIOS_base_Compatibility_List).
|
||||
|
||||
To change the cIOS used for a specific game, follow the instructions specific to your USB loader:
|
||||
|
||||
#### USB Loader GX
|
||||

|
||||
1. Select `Game Load`.
|
||||
1. Scroll down to `Game IOS`.
|
||||
1. Enter the IOS slot to use.
|
||||
+ Try using 250 or 251, if 249 doesn't work.
|
||||
1. Press OK and try to load the game.
|
||||
|
||||
#### WiiFlow Lite
|
||||
1. Select the game that isn't working.

---
|
||||
|
||||
{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
|
||||
|
||||
GameCube Backup Manager is a convenient PC software that simplifies the process of transferring GameCube games to your USB drive or SD Card. It functions similar to the popular tool called [Wii Backup Manager](wiibackupmanager), allowing you to easily manage and organize your GameCube game backups. With this program, you can effortlessly copy your favorite GameCube games onto portable storage devices, making them readily accessible for future gaming sessions.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
To play multiple games, it is recommended to use an external hard drive for your Wii. Any external hard drive found on most modern marketplaces should work with your Wii.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
Make sure your USB drive is formatted as FAT32. Do not format it as other types such as NTFS, exFAT, extFS, or WBFS, the latter being an outdated filesystem for storing Wii games.

{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
|
||||
|
||||
Nintendont is a Wii-mode homebrew application that can be used to play GameCube games, as well as Triforce arcade dumps. Nintendont is an interesting app in that it is like a hybrid between an emulator and a virtual machine - while still running GameCube games near exactly at native quality and performance. Further info can be read [here](https://gbatemp.net/threads/nintendont.349258/).
|
||||
|
||||
To play games, you are advised to use a large SD card or an external hard drive, flash drives are very sporadic in functionality. See [storage FAQ](faq).
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
Make sure your storage device is formatted as FAT32. Do not format it to other file systems like NTFS, exFAT, or WBFS.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
### Prérequis
|
||||
|
||||
* A modded Wii
|
||||
* An SD card or USB device
|
||||
* [Nintendont](https://oscwii.org/library/app/Nintendont)
|
||||
|
||||
### Installation
|
||||
1. Download Nintendont and extract it to the root of your SD card or USB drive.
|
||||
1. Insert your SD card or USB device into your Wii, and launch Nintendont from the Homebrew Channel.
|
||||
|
||||
### Quick Start Guide
|
||||
|
||||
#### Key Features
|
||||
|
||||
+ You can use various input devices to play GameCube games. These include GameCube controllers (even via a USB adapter), Wiimotes, Classic Controllers, the Konga, HID USB controllers, Bluetooth controllers, and potentially more.
|
||||
+ Nintendont has support for virtual memory cards that are saved to an external storage device, from sizes of 51 blocks up to 1019 blocks. Despite this, the recommended max size is 251 blocks per virtual card for maximum compatibility.
|
||||
+ You can use a fan-made patch to enable online play in some games.
|
||||
+ Nintendont can be leveraged in either [WiiFlow Lite](wii-loaders#wiiflow-lite) or [USB Loader GX](wii-loaders#usb-loader-gx) for the loading of GameCube games.
|
||||
|
||||
#### User Interface
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Nintendont uses a user interface that is mainly controllable and navigable using a gamepad.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Properly Launching Games
|
||||
|
||||
Games in Nintendont have to be launched from an external device with a specific folder structure, with the usage of a game ID. Game IDs can be found on [GameTDB](https://www.gametdb.com).<br> The expected structure for single disc games is as follows:<br>
|
||||
```
|
||||
💾SD/USB:
|
||||
┗ 📂games
|
||||
┗ 📂GameName [gameID]
|
||||
┗ 📜game.iso or 📜game.ciso
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The expected structure for multi disc games is as follows:<br>
|
||||
```
|
||||
💾SD/USB:
|
||||
┗ 📂games
|
||||
┗ 📂GameName [gameID]
|
||||
┣ 📜game.iso or 📜game.ciso
|
||||
┗ 📜disc2.iso or 📜disc2.ciso
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Here is an example using The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker on a USB hard drive:<br>
|
||||
```
|
||||
💾SD/USB:
|
||||
┗ 📂games
|
||||
┗ 📂The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker [GZLE01]
|
||||
┗ 📜game.iso or 📜game.ciso
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### BIOS Setup
|
||||
|
||||
You can use an original GameCube BIOS in Nintendont if you have legally obtained one.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Rename the BIOS file `iplusa.bin`/`ipljap.bin`/`iplpal.bin` based on its region.
|
||||
1. Copy it to the root of the storage device where your GameCube games are on.
|
||||
1. Go into Nintendont settings and verify that `Skip IPL` is turned OFF.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Using a HID USB controller with Nintendont
|
||||
|
||||
By default, Nintendont selects a controller configuration from an internal list of already mapped controllers. If yours does not automatically work, make sure to check the supported controller list in the article at the top of the page. If you still want to check anyway, you can use [HIDTest](https://oscwii.org/library/app/HIDTest) to determine whether or not your controller will be detected and work with Nintendont.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Button combinations for Nintendont in-game
|
||||
|
||||
Restart: Resets the game and returns to game's title screen.<br> Shutdown: Exits nintendont and returns to the loader.<br>
|
||||
|
||||
Some games may have native button combinations to reset.
|
||||
|
||||
**GameCube Controller:**<br> Restart: R+Z+Start<br> Shutdown: R+Z+B+Down (D-pad)
|
||||
|
||||
**Wiimote + Nunchuck:**<br> Shutdown: HOME button on the Wiimote
|
||||
|
||||
**HID-USB controller or adapter:**<br> You can define the Shutdown button's combination yourself.<br> The Power button is defined in the controller.ini or in the correct controllers/PID_VID.ini file used by your gamepad.<br> Most commonly used combo with default HID settings:<br> Shutdown: L+R+Z+Start

{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
|
||||
|
||||
This is a quick start guide on how to use Riivolution, an on-the-fly disk patcher for the Wii that is used to play Wii game mods.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to use Riivolution on a Wii mini, a WiFi card must be soldered and Wii IOSes must be installed.
|
||||
{: .notice--warning}
|
||||
|
||||
Riivolution requires a working disk drive and a clean physical copy of the disk the desired mod is for. Scratched disks may or may not work very well or at all.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Prérequis
|
||||
|
||||
* Une Wii
|
||||
* A USB drive or SD Card
|
||||
* The files for your desired mod
|
||||
* A clean physical copy of the disk the mod is for
|
||||
* A working disk drive
|
||||
* [Riivolution](https://oscwii.org/library/app/riivolution)
|
||||
|
||||
### Preparing the files
|
||||
|
||||
1. Extract Riivolution and put it in the `apps` folder on your SD card or USB drive.
|
||||
1. Extract your mod files according to the diagram below to the SD or USB drive. Depending on the mod you downloaded, it may or may not already come properly structured for you.
|
||||
1. Insert your SD card and/or USB drive into your Wii and launch Riivolution from the Homebrew Channel.
|
||||
1. Insert the disk into the Wii.
|

|
||||
1. Enable the mod and select Launch. Depending on the mod, you may have different options for it.
|
||||
|
||||
Pay attention to the region your mod is meant for. NTSC is for U.S and Japan, and PAL is for Europe and Korea.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
### File Structure
|
||||
|
||||
Every Riivolution mod is different, and depending on which mod you choose, it may include more or less files than shown in this diagram.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
Do not get confused with the actual Riivolution app, and the Riivolution folder that goes on the root.

This guide introduces USB loaders on the Wii. They can be primarily used to load game backups that were dumped from a retail game disc. Depending on the loader, there may also be extensions to allow it to function as a frontend for non-Wii games as well. The two most commonly used loaders are USB Loader GX and WiiFlow Lite (a regularly updated mod of the original WiiFlow) - one loader may work better for you than the other, so it's worth trying both out.
|
||||
|
||||
**Note about Configurable USB Loader:**<br> Due to the age and lack of support for Configurable USB Loader (last update was in 2011), this guide does not provide dedicated installation instructions. If enough demand is there, it may be added in the future.
|
||||
{: .notice--warning}
|
||||
|
||||
In order for a USB loader to function properly, you must have the correct cIOS installed. Please check [this](cios) guide for instructions if you are on Wii, and [this](cios-mini) guide if you are on Wii mini.
|
||||
{: .notice--warning}
|
||||
|
||||
To play games, you are advised to use a large SD card or an external hard drive, flash drives are very sporadic in functionality. See [storage FAQ](faq).
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
Forwarders to open these loaders on the Wii Menu can be found on the Open Shop Channel for [WiiFlow Lite](https://oscwii.org/library/app/wiiflow_channel_installer) or on the official SourceForge page for [USB Loader GX](https://sourceforge.net/projects/usbloadergx/files/Releases/Forwarders/USB%20Loader%20GX-UNEO_Forwarder_5_1_AHBPROT.wad/download). You can install either with [YAWM ModMii Edition](yawmme).

### WiiFlow Lite
|
||||
|
||||
#### Prérequis
|
||||
+ A modded Wii
|
||||
+ Fully installed [cIOS](cios)
|
||||
+ [WiiFlow](https://oscwii.org/library/app/wiiflow)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Installation
|
||||
|
||||
1. Ensure that your Wii already has cIOS 248-251 installed - this can be checked with applications like [SysChecker](syscheck) or d2x cIOS installer.
|
||||
1. Download WiiFlow and install it on your SD Card or USB device.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Quick Start Guide
|
||||
|
||||
##### General
|
||||
|
||||
+ WiiFlow by default is set to only find games on the SD card. This can be changed by going to `Settings > Startup Settings` to then turn off `Mount SD Only`.
|
||||
+ You can toggle the current view in Wiiflow between plugins, games, homebrew, and Wii channels by clicking the button to the left of `Home`, on the bottom right.
|
||||
+ You can download game covers by going to `Settings` > `Download Covers and Banners`.
|
||||
|
||||
##### User Interface
|
||||
|
||||
When WiiFlow detects games, they are displayed in flow view.<br> When you click on a game, you are given these options:
|
||||
+ Star - Adds game to favorites.
|
||||
+ Bookshelf - Adds the game to 1 of 6 categories of your choosing.
|
||||
+ Gears - Opens the settings menu for that game - these settings are unique to that game and that game only.
|
||||
+ X - Deletes the game from the USB drive or SD card.
|
||||
|
||||
When you bring the cursor to the bottom of the screen while in flow view, there are 6 icons:
|
||||
+ Bookshelf - View the games that are sorted in the categories you chose.
|
||||
+ Star - View games you favorited.
|
||||
+ Gears - Opens WiiFlow Settings.
|
||||

|
||||
### USB Loader GX
|
||||
|
||||
#### Prérequis
|
||||
+ A modded Wii
|
||||
+ Fully installed [cIOS](cios)
|
||||
+ [USB Loader GX](https://oscwii.org/library/app/usbloader_gx)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Installation
|
||||
|
||||
1. Ensure that your Wii already has cIOS 248-251 installed - this can be checked with applications like [SysChecker](syscheck) or d2x cIOS installer.
|
||||
1. Download USB Loader GX and install it on your SD Card or USB device.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Quick Start Guide
|
||||
|
||||
##### General
|
||||
|
||||
+ If USB Loader GX says "Waiting for HDD..." with a 20 second countdown, it is very likely that it cannot detect your USB device. Try to exit out of the app, plug your USB device into the opposite port that it is currently in, and relaunch it.
|
||||
+ You can press the 1 Button on your Wii Remote to open up a dialog to download game covers and artwork from [GameTDB](https://gametdb.com/). It might take a while to download the game covers and artwork, depending the amount of games you have.
|
||||
+ GameCube or "custom" Wii games may or may not have a custom banner that USB Loader GX uses. To enable this, find or write `CustomBannersURL = http://banner.rc24.xyz/` in `config/GXGlobal.cfg` on the drive you installed the app on. Then, you can use the `Custom Banner` download by pressing the 1 Button on your Wii Remote.
|
||||
|
||||
##### User Interface
|
||||
|
||||
On the middle of the bottom of the screen, you can see how much space is free on your USB drive and how many games you have.
|
||||
|
||||
These are the functions of the buttons found on the bar at the top of the screen, from left to right:
|
||||
|
||||
+ Star - Shows games that you have marked as "favorites".
|
||||
+ Search - Lets you search for games by name.
|
||||
+ Sort - Cycles through sorting methods for games.
|
||||
+ Platform - Sorts games by platform.
|
||||
+ Category - Sorts games by category.
|
||||
+ List - Shows games in a list view.
|
||||
+ Multi-Cover View - Shows games in a multi-cover view.
|
||||
+ Cover Carousel View - Shows games in a carousel view.
|
||||
+ Wii Menu View - Shows games in a Wii Menu view.
|
||||
+ Parental Control - Locks USB Loader GX.
|
||||
+ Disc - Loads a game that is in the disc drive.
|
||||
|
||||
There are also other buttons at the bottom of the screen:
|
||||
|
||||
+ (+) Icon - "Install" a game, i.e. loading it from disc and dumping it to your preset storage device.
|
||||

|
||||
+ Power Button - Turn off your Wii.
|
||||
|
||||
### Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
Although the majority of games should work as-is with default settings, some may require using a specific cIOS to function, or to utilize certain features within the game. Examples include:
|
||||
|
||||
+ Using a keyboard in Animal Crossing: City Folk.
|
||||
+ Running SpongeBob's Boating Bash.
|
||||
|
||||
A more comprehensive (although still incomplete) list can be found [here](https://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/Wii_cIOS_base_Compatibility_List).
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
#### USB Loader GX
|
||||

|
||||
1. Click Settings.
|
||||
1. Select `Game Load`.
|
||||
1. Scroll down to `Game IOS`.
|
||||
1. Enter the IOS slot to use.
|
||||
+ Try using 250 or 251, if 249 doesn't work.
|
||||
1. Press OK and try to load the game.
|
||||
|
||||
#### WiiFlow Lite
|
||||
1. Select the game that isn't working.
|
||||
1. Click the gear icon.
|
||||
1. Go to cIOS and use the arrows to select the IOS slot to use.
|
||||
+ Try using 250 or 251, if 249 doesn't work.
|
||||
1. Press Save and try to load the game.
|
||||
|
||||
[Continue to Nintendont](nintendont) Now that you have installed a USB loader of some type for Wii games, you can install a similar type of application for effectively native playback of GameCube games.

Nintendont is a Wii-mode homebrew application that can be used to play GameCube games, as well as Triforce arcade dumps. Nintendont is an interesting app in that it is like a hybrid between an emulator and a virtual machine - while still running GameCube games near exactly at native quality and performance. Further info can be read [here](https://gbatemp.net/threads/nintendont.349258/).
|
||||
|
||||
To play games, you are advised to use a large SD card or an external hard drive, flash drives are very sporadic in functionality. See [storage FAQ](faq).

|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
### Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
* A modded Wii
|
||||
* An SD card or USB device
|
||||
* [Nintendont](https://oscwii.org/library/app/Nintendont)
|
||||
|
||||
### Installation
|
||||
1. Download Nintendont and extract it to the root of your SD card or USB drive.
|
||||
1. Insert your SD card or USB device into your Wii, and launch Nintendont from the Homebrew Channel.
|
||||
|
||||
### Quick Start Guide
|
||||
|
||||
#### Key Features
|
||||
|
||||
+ You can use various input devices to play GameCube games. These include GameCube controllers (even via a USB adapter), Wiimotes, Classic Controllers, the Konga, HID USB controllers, Bluetooth controllers, and potentially more.
|
||||
+ Nintendont has support for virtual memory cards that are saved to an external storage device, from sizes of 51 blocks up to 1019 blocks. Despite this, the recommended max size is 251 blocks per virtual card for maximum compatibility.
|
||||
+ You can use a fan-made patch to enable online play in some games.
|
||||
+ Nintendont can be leveraged in either [WiiFlow Lite](usb-loaders#wiiflow-lite) or [USB Loader GX](usb-loaders#usb-loader-gx) for the loading of GameCube games.
|
||||
|
||||
#### User Interface
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Nintendont uses a user interface that is mainly controllable and navigable using a gamepad.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Properly Launching Games
|
||||
|
||||
Games in Nintendont have to be launched from an external device with a specific folder structure, with the usage of a game ID. Game IDs can be found on [GameTDB](https://www.gametdb.com).<br> The expected structure for single disc games is as follows:<br> `device:/games/(game name) [game ID]/game.iso`
|
||||
|
||||
The expected structure for multi disc games is as follows:<br> `device:/games/(game name) [game ID]/game.iso`<br> `device:/games/(game name) [game ID]/disc2.iso` (so on and so forth)
|
||||
|
||||
Here is an example using The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker on a USB hard drive:<br> `USB:/games/The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker [GZLE01]/game.iso`
|
||||
|
||||
#### BIOS Setup
|
||||
|
||||
You can use an original GameCube BIOS in Nintendont if you have legally obtained one.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Rename the BIOS file `iplusa.bin`/`ipljap.bin`/`iplpal.bin` based on its region.
|
||||
1. Copy it to the root of the storage device where Nintendont is installed on.
|
||||
1. Go into Nintendont settings and verify that `Load IPL` is turned ON.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Using a HID USB controller with Nintendont
|
||||
|
||||
By default, Nintendont selects a controller configuration from an internal list of already mapped controllers. If yours does not automatically work, make sure to check the supported controller list in the article at the top of the page. If you still want to check anyway, you can use [HIDTest](https://oscwii.org/library/app/HIDTest) to determine whether or not your controller will be detected and work with Nintendont.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Button combinations for Nintendont in-game
|
||||
|
||||
Restart: Resets the game and returns to game's title screen.<br> Shutdown: Exits nintendont and returns to the loader.<br>
|
||||
|
||||
Some games may have native button combinations to reset.
|
||||
|
||||
**GameCube Controller:**<br> Restart: R+Z+Start<br> Shutdown: R+Z+B+Down (D-pad)
|
||||
|
||||
**Wiimote + Nunchuck:**<br> Shutdown: HOME button on the Wiimote
|
||||
|
||||
**HID-USB controller or adapter:**<br> You can define the Shutdown button's combination yourself.<br> The Power button is defined in the controller.ini or in the correct controllers/PID_VID.ini file used by your gamepad.<br> Most commonly used combo with default HID settings:<br> Shutdown: L+R+Z+Start

|
||||
This is a quick start guide on how to use Riivolution, an on-the-fly disk patcher for the Wii that is used to play Wii game mods.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to use Riivolution on a Wii mini, a WiFi card must be soldered and Wii IOSes must be installed.
|
||||
{: .notice--warning}
|
||||
|
||||
Riivolution requires a working disk drive and a clean physical copy of the disk the desired mod is for. Scratched disks may or may not work very well or at all.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
* A Wii
|
||||
* A USB drive or SD Card
|
||||
* The files for your desired mod
|
||||
* A clean physical copy of the disk the mod is for
|
||||
* A working disk drive
|
||||
* [Riivolution](https://oscwii.org/library/app/riivolution)
|
||||
|
||||
### Preparing the files
|
||||
|
||||
1. Extract Riivolution and put it in the `apps` folder on your SD card or USB drive.
|
||||
1. Extract your mod files according to the diagram below to the SD or USB drive. Depending on the mod you downloaded, it may or may not already come properly structured for you.
|
||||
1. Insert your SD card and/or USB drive into your Wii and launch Riivolution from the Homebrew Channel.
|
||||
1. Insert the disk into the Wii.
|
||||
+ Optional step: you can install the official riivolution forwarder channel to the Wii menu by selecting the install option to the right. This negates the need for having to launch the homebrew channel every time you want to launch riivolution.
|
||||
1. Enable the mod and select Launch. Depending on the mod, you may have different options for it.
|
||||

title: "USB Loaders"
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
|
||||
|
||||
This guide introduces USB loaders on the Wii. They can be primarily used to load game backups that were dumped from a retail game disc. Depending on the loader, there may also be extensions to allow it to function as a frontend for non-Wii games as well. The two most commonly used loaders are USB Loader GX and WiiFlow Lite (a regularly updated mod of the original WiiFlow) - one loader may work better for you than the other, so it's worth trying both out.
|
||||
|
||||
**Note about Configurable USB Loader:**<br> Due to the age and lack of support for Configurable USB Loader (last update was in 2011), this guide does not provide dedicated installation instructions. If enough demand is there, it may be added in the future.
|
||||
{: .notice--warning}
|
||||
|
||||
In order for a USB loader to function properly, you must have the correct cIOS installed. Please check [this](cios) guide for instructions if you are on Wii, and [this](cios-mini) guide if you are on Wii mini.
|
||||
{: .notice--warning}
|
||||
|
||||
To play games, you are advised to use a large SD card or an external hard drive, flash drives are very sporadic in functionality. See [storage FAQ](faq).
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
Forwarders to open these loaders on the Wii Menu can be found on the Open Shop Channel for [WiiFlow Lite](https://oscwii.org/library/app/wiiflow_channel_installer) or on the official SourceForge page for [USB Loader GX](https://sourceforge.net/projects/usbloadergx/files/Releases/Forwarders/USB%20Loader%20GX-UNEO_Forwarder_5_1_AHBPROT.wad/download). You can install either with [YAWM ModMii Edition](yawmme).

### WiiFlow Lite
|
||||
|
||||
#### Requirements
|
||||
+ A modded Wii
|
||||
+ Fully installed [cIOS](cios)
|
||||
+ [WiiFlow](https://oscwii.org/library/app/wiiflow)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Installation
|
||||
|
||||
1. Ensure that your Wii already has cIOS 248-251 installed - this can be checked with applications like [SysChecker](syscheck) or d2x cIOS installer.
|
||||
1. Download WiiFlow and install it on your SD Card or USB device.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Quick Start Guide
|
||||
|
||||
##### General
|
||||
|
||||
+ WiiFlow by default is set to only find games on the SD card. This can be changed by going to `Settings > Startup Settings` to then turn off `Mount SD Only`.
|
||||
+ You can toggle the current view in Wiiflow between plugins, games, homebrew, and Wii channels by clicking the button to the left of `Home`, on the bottom right.
|
||||
+ You can download game covers by going to `Settings` > `Download Covers and Banners`.
|
||||
|
||||
##### User Interface
|
||||
|
||||
When WiiFlow detects games, they are displayed in flow view.<br> When you click on a game, you are given these options:
|
||||
+ Star - Adds game to favorites.
|
||||
+ Bookshelf - Adds the game to 1 of 6 categories of your choosing.
|
||||
+ Gears - Opens the settings menu for that game - these settings are unique to that game and that game only.
|
||||
+ X - Deletes the game from the USB drive or SD card.
|
||||
|
||||
When you bring the cursor to the bottom of the screen while in flow view, there are 6 icons:
|
||||
+ Bookshelf - View the games that are sorted in the categories you chose.
|
||||
+ Star - View games you favorited.
|
||||
+ Gears - Opens WiiFlow Settings.
|
||||
+ Game Type - Toggles between different types of apps/games. The logo changes depending on what game type you have selected.

|
||||
|
||||
### USB Loader GX
|
||||
|
||||
#### Requirements
|
||||
+ A modded Wii
|
||||
+ Fully installed [cIOS](cios)
|
||||
+ [USB Loader GX](https://oscwii.org/library/app/usbloader_gx)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Installation
|
||||
|
||||
1. Ensure that your Wii already has cIOS 248-251 installed - this can be checked with applications like [SysChecker](syscheck) or d2x cIOS installer.
|
||||
1. Download USB Loader GX and install it on your SD Card or USB device.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Quick Start Guide
|
||||
|
||||
##### General
|
||||
|
||||
+ If USB Loader GX says "Waiting for HDD..." with a 20 second countdown, it is very likely that it cannot detect your USB device. Try to exit out of the app, plug your USB device into the opposite port that it is currently in, and relaunch it.
|
||||
+ You can press the 1 Button on your Wii Remote to open up a dialog to download game covers and artwork from [GameTDB](https://gametdb.com/). It might take a while to download the game covers and artwork, depending the amount of games you have.
|
||||
+ GameCube or "custom" Wii games may or may not have a custom banner that USB Loader GX uses. To enable this, find or write `CustomBannersURL = http://banner.rc24.xyz/` in `config/GXGlobal.cfg` on the drive you installed the app on. Then, you can use the `Custom Banner` download by pressing the 1 Button on your Wii Remote.
|
||||
|
||||
##### User Interface
|
||||
|
||||
On the middle of the bottom of the screen, you can see how much space is free on your USB drive and how many games you have.
|
||||
|
||||
These are the functions of the buttons found on the bar at the top of the screen, from left to right:
|
||||
|
||||
+ Star - Shows games that you have marked as "favorites".
|
||||
+ Search - Lets you search for games by name.
|
||||
+ Sort - Cycles through sorting methods for games.
|
||||
+ Platform - Sorts games by platform.
|
||||
+ Category - Sorts games by category.
|
||||
+ List - Shows games in a list view.
|
||||
+ Multi-Cover View - Shows games in a multi-cover view.
|
||||
+ Cover Carousel View - Shows games in a carousel view.
|
||||
+ Wii Menu View - Shows games in a Wii Menu view.
|
||||
+ Parental Control - Locks USB Loader GX.
|
||||
+ Disc - Loads a game that is in the disc drive.
|
||||
|
||||
There are also other buttons at the bottom of the screen:
|
||||
|
||||
+ (+) Icon - "Install" a game, i.e. loading it from disc and dumping it to your preset storage device.
|
||||
+ Gears - Global settings for USB Loader GX.
|
||||
+ SD card - Remount the SD card.
|
||||
+ Homebrew - Load homebrew apps.
|
||||
+ Wii - Open the HOME Menu.
|
||||
+ Power Button - Turn off your Wii.
|
||||
|
||||
### Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
Although the majority of games should work as-is with default settings, some may require using a specific cIOS to function, or to utilize certain features within the game. Examples include:
|
||||
|
||||
+ Using a keyboard in Animal Crossing: City Folk.
|
||||
+ Running SpongeBob's Boating Bash.
|
||||
|
||||
A more comprehensive (although still incomplete) list can be found [here](https://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/Wii_cIOS_base_Compatibility_List).
|
||||
|
||||
To change the cIOS used for a specific game, follow the instructions specific to your USB loader:
|
||||
|
||||
#### USB Loader GX
|
||||
1. Select the game that isn't working.
|
||||
1. Click Settings.
|
||||
1. Select `Game Load`.
|
||||
1. Scroll down to `Game IOS`.
|
||||
1. Enter the IOS slot to use.
|
||||
+ Try using 250 or 251, if 249 doesn't work.
|
||||
1. Press OK and try to load the game.
|
||||
|
||||
#### WiiFlow Lite
|
||||
1. Select the game that isn't working.
|
||||
1. Click the gear icon.
|
||||
1. Go to cIOS and use the arrows to select the IOS slot to use.
|
||||
+ Try using 250 or 251, if 249 doesn't work.
|
||||
1. Press Save and try to load the game.
|
||||
|
||||

title: "GameCube Backup Manager"
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
|
||||
|
||||
GameCube Backup Manager is a convenient PC software that simplifies the process of transferring GameCube games to your USB drive or SD Card. It functions similar to the popular tool called [Wii Backup Manager](wiibackupmanager), allowing you to easily manage and organize your GameCube game backups. With this program, you can effortlessly copy your favorite GameCube games onto portable storage devices, making them readily accessible for future gaming sessions.
|
||||
|
||||
### Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
* An SD card or USB drive
|
||||
* [GameCube Backup Manager](https://github.com/AxionDrak/GameCube-Backup-Manager/releases)
|
||||
|
||||
To play multiple games, it is recommended to use an external hard drive for your Wii. Any external hard drive found on most modern marketplaces should work with your Wii.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
Make sure your USB drive is formatted as FAT32. Do not format it as other types such as NTFS, exFAT, extFS, or WBFS, the latter being an outdated filesystem for storing Wii games.
|
||||

{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
|
||||
|
||||
Nintendont is a Wii-mode homebrew application that can be used to play GameCube games, as well as Triforce arcade dumps. Nintendont is an interesting app in that it is like a hybrid between an emulator and a virtual machine - while still running GameCube games near exactly at native quality and performance. Further info can be read [here](https://gbatemp.net/threads/nintendont.349258/).
|
||||
|
||||
To play games, you are advised to use a large SD card or an external hard drive, flash drives are very sporadic in functionality. See [storage FAQ](faq).
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
Make sure your storage device is formatted as FAT32. Do not format it to other file systems like NTFS, exFAT, or WBFS.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
### Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
* A modded Wii
|
||||
* An SD card or USB device
|
||||
* [Nintendont](https://oscwii.org/library/app/Nintendont)
|
||||
|
||||
### Installation
|
||||
1. Download Nintendont and extract it to the root of your SD card or USB drive.
|
||||
1. Insert your SD card or USB device into your Wii, and launch Nintendont from the Homebrew Channel.
|
||||
|
||||
### Quick Start Guide
|
||||
|
||||
#### Key Features
|
||||
|
||||
+ You can use various input devices to play GameCube games. These include GameCube controllers (even via a USB adapter), Wiimotes, Classic Controllers, the Konga, HID USB controllers, Bluetooth controllers, and potentially more.
|
||||
+ Nintendont has support for virtual memory cards that are saved to an external storage device, from sizes of 51 blocks up to 1019 blocks. Despite this, the recommended max size is 251 blocks per virtual card for maximum compatibility.
|
||||
+ You can use a fan-made patch to enable online play in some games.
|
||||
+ Nintendont can be leveraged in either [WiiFlow Lite](usb-loaders#wiiflow-lite) or [USB Loader GX](usb-loaders#usb-loader-gx) for the loading of GameCube games.
|
||||
|
||||
#### User Interface
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Nintendont uses a user interface that is mainly controllable and navigable using a gamepad.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Properly Launching Games
|
||||
|
||||
Games in Nintendont have to be launched from an external device with a specific folder structure, with the usage of a game ID. Game IDs can be found on [GameTDB](https://www.gametdb.com).<br> The expected structure for single disc games is as follows:<br> `device:/games/(game name) [game ID]/game.iso`
|
||||
|
||||
The expected structure for multi disc games is as follows:<br> `device:/games/(game name) [game ID]/game.iso`<br> `device:/games/(game name) [game ID]/disc2.iso` (so on and so forth)
|
||||
|
||||
Here is an example using The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker on a USB hard drive:<br> `USB:/games/The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker [GZLE01]/game.iso`
|
||||
|
||||
#### BIOS Setup
|
||||
|
||||
You can use an original GameCube BIOS in Nintendont if you have legally obtained one.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Rename the BIOS file `iplusa.bin`/`ipljap.bin`/`iplpal.bin` based on its region.
|
||||
1. Copy it to the root of the storage device where Nintendont is installed on.
|
||||
1. Go into Nintendont settings and verify that `Load IPL` is turned ON.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Using a HID USB controller with Nintendont
|
||||
|
||||
By default, Nintendont selects a controller configuration from an internal list of already mapped controllers. If yours does not automatically work, make sure to check the supported controller list in the article at the top of the page. If you still want to check anyway, you can use [HIDTest](https://oscwii.org/library/app/HIDTest) to determine whether or not your controller will be detected and work with Nintendont.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Button combinations for Nintendont in-game
|
||||
|
||||
Restart: Resets the game and returns to game's title screen.<br> Shutdown: Exits nintendont and returns to the loader.<br>
|
||||
|
||||
Some games may have native button combinations to reset.
|
||||
|
||||
**GameCube Controller:**<br> Restart: R+Z+Start<br> Shutdown: R+Z+B+Down (D-pad)
|
||||
|
||||
**Wiimote + Nunchuck:**<br> Shutdown: HOME button on the Wiimote
|
||||
|
||||
**HID-USB controller or adapter:**<br> You can define the Shutdown button's combination yourself.<br> The Power button is defined in the controller.ini or in the correct controllers/PID_VID.ini file used by your gamepad.<br> Most commonly used combo with default HID settings:<br> Shutdown: L+R+Z+Start

{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
|
||||
|
||||
This is a quick start guide on how to use Riivolution, an on-the-fly disk patcher for the Wii that is used to play Wii game mods.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to use Riivolution on a Wii mini, a WiFi card must be soldered and Wii IOSes must be installed.
|
||||
{: .notice--warning}
|
||||
|
||||
Riivolution requires a working disk drive and a clean physical copy of the disk the desired mod is for. Scratched disks may or may not work very well or at all.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
* A Wii
|
||||
* A USB drive or SD Card
|
||||
* The files for your desired mod
|
||||
* A clean physical copy of the disk the mod is for
|
||||
* A working disk drive
|
||||
* [Riivolution](https://oscwii.org/library/app/riivolution)
|
||||
|
||||
### Preparing the files
|
||||
|
||||
1. Extract Riivolution and put it in the `apps` folder on your SD card or USB drive.
|
||||
1. Extract your mod files according to the diagram below to the SD or USB drive. Depending on the mod you downloaded, it may or may not already come properly structured for you.
|
||||
1. Insert your SD card and/or USB drive into your Wii and launch Riivolution from the Homebrew Channel.
|
||||
1. Insert the disk into the Wii.
|
||||
+ Optional step: you can install the official riivolution forwarder channel to the Wii menu by selecting the install option to the right. This negates the need for having to launch the homebrew channel every time you want to launch riivolution.
|
||||
1. Enable the mod and select Launch. Depending on the mod, you may have different options for it.
|
||||
|
||||
Pay attention to the region your mod is meant for. NTSC is for U.S and Japan, and PAL is for Europe and Korea.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
### File Structure
|
||||
|
||||
Every Riivolution mod is different, and depending on which mod you choose, it may include more or less files than shown in this diagram.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
Do not get confused with the actual Riivolution app, and the Riivolution folder that goes on the root.

---
|
||||
|
||||
{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
|
||||
|
||||
This guide introduces USB loaders on the Wii. They can be primarily used to load game backups that were dumped from a retail game disc. Depending on the loader, there may also be extensions to allow it to function as a frontend for non-Wii games as well. The two most commonly used loaders are USB Loader GX and WiiFlow Lite (a regularly updated mod of the original WiiFlow) - one loader may work better for you than the other, so it's worth trying both out.
|
||||
|
||||
**Note about Configurable USB Loader:**<br> Due to the age and lack of support for Configurable USB Loader (last update was in 2011), this guide does not provide dedicated installation instructions. If enough demand is there, it may be added in the future.
|
||||
{: .notice--warning}
|
||||
|

||||
#### Requirements
|
||||
+ A modded Wii
|
||||
+ Fully installed [cIOS](cios)
|
||||
+ [WiiFlow](https://oscwii.org/library/app/wiiflow)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Installation
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
#### Quick Start Guide
|
||||
|
||||

+ WiiFlow by default is set to only find games on the SD card. This can be changed by going to `Settings > Startup Settings` to then turn off `Mount SD Only`.
|
||||
+ You can toggle the current view in Wiiflow between plugins, games, homebrew, and Wii channels by clicking the button to the left of `Home`, on the bottom right.
|
||||
+ You can download game covers by going to `Settings` > `Download Covers and Banners`.
|
||||
|
||||
##### User Interface
|
||||
|
||||
When WiiFlow detects games, they are displayed in flow view.<br> When you click on a game, you are given these options:
|
||||
+ Star - Adds game to favorites.
|
||||
+ Bookshelf - Adds the game to 1 of 6 categories of your choosing.

||||
+ A modded Wii
|
||||
+ Fully installed [cIOS](cios)
|
||||
+ [USB Loader GX](https://oscwii.org/library/app/usbloader_gx)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Installation
|
||||
|
||||
1. Ensure that your Wii already has cIOS 248-251 installed - this can be checked with applications like [SysChecker](syscheck) or d2x cIOS installer.

|
||||
+ You can press the 1 Button on your Wii Remote to open up a dialog to download game covers and artwork from [GameTDB](https://gametdb.com/). It might take a while to download the game covers and artwork, depending the amount of games you have.
|
||||
+ GameCube or "custom" Wii games may or may not have a custom banner that USB Loader GX uses. To enable this, find or write `CustomBannersURL = http://banner.rc24.xyz/` in `config/GXGlobal.cfg` on the drive you installed the app on. Then, you can use the `Custom Banner` download by pressing the 1 Button on your Wii Remote.
|
||||
|

||||
|
||||
### Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
Although the majority of games should work as-is with default settings, some may require using a specific cIOS to function, or to utilize certain features within the game. Examples include:
|
||||
|
||||
+ Using a keyboard in Animal Crossing: City Folk.
|
||||
+ Running SpongeBob's Boating Bash.
|
||||
|
||||
A more comprehensive (although still incomplete) list can be found [here](https://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/Wii_cIOS_base_Compatibility_List).
|
||||
|
||||
To change the cIOS used for a specific game, follow the instructions specific to your USB loader:
|
||||
|
||||
#### USB Loader GX
|
||||
1. Select the game that isn't working.
|
||||
1. Click Settings.
|
||||
1. Select `Game Load`.
|
||||
1. Scroll down to `Game IOS`.
|
||||
1. Enter the IOS slot to use.
|
||||
+ Try using 250 or 251, if 249 doesn't work.
|
||||
1. Press OK and try to load the game.
|
||||
|
||||
#### WiiFlow Lite
|
||||
1. Select the game that isn't working.
|
||||
1. Click the gear icon.
|
||||
1. Go to cIOS and use the arrows to select the IOS slot to use.
|
||||
+ Try using 250 or 251, if 249 doesn't work.
|
||||
1. Press Save and try to load the game.
|
||||
|
||||
[Continue to Nintendont](nintendont) Now that you have installed a USB loader of some type for Wii games, you can install a similar type of application for effectively native playback of GameCube games.

{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
|
||||
|
||||
GameCube Backup Manager è un comodo software per PC che semplifica il processo di trasferimento di giochi GameCube sul tuo dispositivo USB o scheda SD. Funziona in modo simile al programma noto come [Wii Backup Manager](wiibackupmanager), consentendoti di gestire e organizzare in modo facile i tuoi backup di giochi GameCube.

{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
|
||||
|
||||
Nintendont è un'applicazione homebrew in modalità Wii che ti consente di giocare a giochi GameCube e dump di arcade Triforce. Nintendont è un'app interessante in quanto è un ibrido tra un emulatore e una macchina virtuale - mentre esegue comunque i giochi GameCube con prestazioni e qualità quasi native. Ulteriori informazioni possono essere trovate [qui](https://gbatemp.net/threads/nintendont.349258/).
|
||||
|
||||
Per giocare ai giochi, si consiglia di utilizzare una scheda SD di grandi dimensioni o un hard drive esterno, poiché le unità flash sono molto sporadiche in funzionalità. Vedi il [FAQ storage](faq).
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
Assicurati che l'unità di archiviazione sia formattata come FAT32. Non formattarlo ad altri file system come NTFS, exFAT o WBFS.

||||
### Requisiti
|
||||
|
||||
* Una Wii modificata
|
||||
* Una scheda SD o dispositivo USB
|
||||
* [Nintendont](https://oscwii.org/library/app/Nintendont)
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Guida rapida
|
||||
|
||||
#### Funzioni principali
|
||||
|
||||
+ È possibile utilizzare vari dispositivi di input per giocare ai giochi GameCube. Questi includono i controller GameCube (anche tramite un adattatore USB), telecomandi Wii, Controller Tradizionali, i Konga, controller USB HID, controller Bluetooth e potenzialmente altri ancora.
|
||||
+ Nintendont supporta memory card virtuali che vengono salvate nell'unità di archiviazione esterna, dalle dimensioni di 51 blocchi fino a 1019 blocchi. Nonostante ciò, la dimensione massima consigliata è di 251 blocchi per memory card per garantire la massima compatibilità.
|
||||
+ Puoi usare una patch creata dalla community per attivare il gioco online in alcuni giochi.
|
||||
+ Nintendont può essere usato su [WiiFlow Lite](wii-loaders#wiiflow-lite) o [USB Loader GX](wii-loaders#usb-loader-gx) per il caricamento dei giochi GameCube.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Interfaccia utente
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Nintendont utilizza un'interfaccia utente che è principalmente controllabile e navigabile utilizzando un controller.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Avvio dei giochi
|
||||
|
||||
I giochi in Nintendont devono essere avviati da un dispositivo esterno con una specifica struttura di cartelle, utilizzando gli ID di gioco. Gli ID di gioco possono essere trovati su [GameTDB](https://www.gametdb.com).<br>La struttura prevista per giochi su disco singolo è la seguente:<br>
|
||||
```
|
||||
💾SD/USB:
|
||||
┗ 📂games
|
||||
┗ 📂NomeGioco [IDgioco]
|
||||
┗ 📜game.iso o 📜game.ciso
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
La struttura prevista per giochi multi-disco è la seguente:<br>
|
||||
```
|
||||
💾SD/USB:
|
||||
┗ 📂games
|
||||
┗ 📂NomeGioco [IDgioco]
|
||||
┣ 📜game.iso o 📜game.ciso
|
||||
┗ 📜disc2.iso o 📜disc2.ciso
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Ecco un esempio in cui viene usato The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker in un dispositivo USB:<br>
|
||||
```
|
||||
💾SD/USB:
|
||||
┗ 📂games
|
||||
┗ 📂The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker [GZLE01]
|
||||
┗ 📜game.iso o 📜game.ciso
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Configurazione BIOS
|
||||
|
||||
Puoi usare un BIOS GameCube originale su Nintendont se ne hai ottenuto uno legalmente.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Rinomina il file BIOS a `iplusa.bin`/`ipljap.bin`/`iplpal.bin` in base alla sua regione.
|
||||
1. Copialo nella root del dispositivo di archiviazione in cui si trovano i tuoi giochi GameCube.
|
||||
1. Vai nelle impostazioni di Nintendont e controlla che l'opzione `Skip IPL` sia su OFF.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Utilizzare un controller HID USB con Nintendont
|
||||
|
||||
Di predefinito, Nintendont seleziona una configurazione di controller da un elenco interno di controller già configurati. Se il tuo dovesse funzionare in automatico, assicurati di controllare l'elenco dei controller supportati nell'articolo in cima alla pagina. Se vuoi comunque controllare, puoi usare [HIDTest](https://oscwii.org/library/app/HIDTest) per controllare se il tuo controller verrà rilevato e funzionerà con Nintendont, o meno.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Combinazioni di pulsanti per Nintendont durante il gioco
|
||||
|
||||
Riavvia: Riavvia il gioco e torna alla schermata del titolo del gioco.<br> Spegni: Chiude Nintendont e ritorna al loader.<br>
|
||||
|
||||
Alcuni giochi potrebbero avere combinazioni di pulsanti native per il riavvio.
|
||||
|
||||
**Controller GameCube:**<br> Riavvia: R+Z+Start<br> Spegni: R+Z+B+Giù (croce direzionale)
|
||||
|
||||
**Telecomando Wii + Nunchuck:**<br> Spegni: Pulsante HOME sul telecomando Wii
|
||||
|
||||
**Controller USB-HID o adattatore:**<br> Puoi definire i pulsanti per il spegnimento da te.<br> Il pulsante Power è definito nel file controller.ini o nel file controllers/PID_VID.ini corretto utilizzato per il tuo controller.<br> La combinazione più comune con le impostazioni HID predefinite:<br> Spegni: L+R+Z+Start

title: "USB Loaders"
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
|
||||
|
||||
This guide introduces USB loaders on the Wii. They can be primarily used to load game backups that were dumped from a retail game disc. Depending on the loader, there may also be extensions to allow it to function as a frontend for non-Wii games as well. The two most commonly used loaders are USB Loader GX and WiiFlow Lite (a regularly updated mod of the original WiiFlow) - one loader may work better for you than the other, so it's worth trying both out.
|
||||
|
||||
**Note about Configurable USB Loader:**<br> Due to the age and lack of support for Configurable USB Loader (last update was in 2011), this guide does not provide dedicated installation instructions. If enough demand is there, it may be added in the future.
|
||||
{: .notice--warning}
|
||||
|
||||
In order for a USB loader to function properly, you must have the correct cIOS installed. Please check [this](cios) guide for instructions if you are on Wii, and [this](cios-mini) guide if you are on Wii mini.
|
||||
{: .notice--warning}
|
||||
|
||||
To play games, you are advised to use a large SD card or an external hard drive, flash drives are very sporadic in functionality. See [storage FAQ](faq).
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
Forwarders to open these loaders on the Wii Menu can be found on the Open Shop Channel for [WiiFlow Lite](https://oscwii.org/library/app/wiiflow_channel_installer) or on the official SourceForge page for [USB Loader GX](https://sourceforge.net/projects/usbloadergx/files/Releases/Forwarders/USB%20Loader%20GX-UNEO_Forwarder_5_1_AHBPROT.wad/download). You can install either with [YAWM ModMii Edition](yawmme).

||||
|
||||
#### Requirements
|
||||
+ A modded Wii
|
||||
+ Fully installed [cIOS](cios)
|
||||
+ [WiiFlow](https://oscwii.org/library/app/wiiflow)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Installation
|
||||
|
||||
1. Ensure that your Wii already has cIOS 248-251 installed - this can be checked with applications like [SysChecker](syscheck) or d2x cIOS installer.
|
||||
1. Download WiiFlow and install it on your SD Card or USB device.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Quick Start Guide
|
||||
|
||||
##### General
|
||||
|
||||
+ WiiFlow by default is set to only find games on the SD card. This can be changed by going to `Settings > Startup Settings` to then turn off `Mount SD Only`.
|
||||
+ You can toggle the current view in Wiiflow between plugins, games, homebrew, and Wii channels by clicking the button to the left of `Home`, on the bottom right.
|
||||
+ You can download game covers by going to `Settings` > `Download Covers and Banners`.
|
||||
|
||||
##### User Interface
|
||||
|
||||
When WiiFlow detects games, they are displayed in flow view.<br> When you click on a game, you are given these options:
|
||||
+ Star - Adds game to favorites.
|
||||
+ Bookshelf - Adds the game to 1 of 6 categories of your choosing.
|
||||
+ Gears - Opens the settings menu for that game - these settings are unique to that game and that game only.
|
||||
+ X - Deletes the game from the USB drive or SD card.
|
||||
|
||||
When you bring the cursor to the bottom of the screen while in flow view, there are 6 icons:

||||
+ Bookshelf - View the games that are sorted in the categories you chose.
|
||||
+ Star - View games you favorited.
|
||||
+ Gears - Opens WiiFlow Settings.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### USB Loader GX
|
||||
|
||||
#### Requirements
|
||||
+ A modded Wii
|
||||
+ Fully installed [cIOS](cios)
|
||||
+ [USB Loader GX](https://oscwii.org/library/app/usbloader_gx)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Installation
|
||||
|
||||
1. Ensure that your Wii already has cIOS 248-251 installed - this can be checked with applications like [SysChecker](syscheck) or d2x cIOS installer.
|
||||
1. Download USB Loader GX and install it on your SD Card or USB device.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Quick Start Guide
|
||||
|
||||
##### General
|
||||
|
||||
+ If USB Loader GX says "Waiting for HDD..." with a 20 second countdown, it is very likely that it cannot detect your USB device. Try to exit out of the app, plug your USB device into the opposite port that it is currently in, and relaunch it.
|
||||
+ You can press the 1 Button on your Wii Remote to open up a dialog to download game covers and artwork from [GameTDB](https://gametdb.com/). It might take a while to download the game covers and artwork, depending the amount of games you have.
|
||||
+ GameCube or "custom" Wii games may or may not have a custom banner that USB Loader GX uses. To enable this, find or write `CustomBannersURL = http://banner.rc24.xyz/` in `config/GXGlobal.cfg` on the drive you installed the app on. Then, you can use the `Custom Banner` download by pressing the 1 Button on your Wii Remote.
|
||||
|
||||
##### User Interface
|
||||
|
||||
On the middle of the bottom of the screen, you can see how much space is free on your USB drive and how many games you have.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
+ Star - Shows games that you have marked as "favorites".
|
||||
+ Search - Lets you search for games by name.
|
||||
+ Sort - Cycles through sorting methods for games.
|
||||
+ Platform - Sorts games by platform.
|
||||
+ Category - Sorts games by category.

|
||||
+ Multi-Cover View - Shows games in a multi-cover view.
|
||||

|
||||
+ Parental Control - Locks USB Loader GX.
|
||||
+ Disc - Loads a game that is in the disc drive.
|
||||
|
||||
There are also other buttons at the bottom of the screen:
|
||||
|
||||
+ (+) Icon - "Install" a game, i.e. loading it from disc and dumping it to your preset storage device.
|
||||
+ Gears - Global settings for USB Loader GX.
|
||||
+ SD card - Remount the SD card.
|
||||
+ Homebrew - Load homebrew apps.
|
||||

|
||||
+ Power Button - Turn off your Wii.
|
||||
|
||||
### Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
Although the majority of games should work as-is with default settings, some may require using a specific cIOS to function, or to utilize certain features within the game. Examples include:
|
||||
|
||||
+ Using a keyboard in Animal Crossing: City Folk.
|
||||
+ Running SpongeBob's Boating Bash.
|
||||
|
||||
A more comprehensive (although still incomplete) list can be found [here](https://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/Wii_cIOS_base_Compatibility_List).
|
||||
|
||||
To change the cIOS used for a specific game, follow the instructions specific to your USB loader:
|
||||
|
||||
#### USB Loader GX
|
||||
1. Select the game that isn't working.
|
||||
1. Click Settings.
|
||||
1. Select `Game Load`.
|
||||
1. Scroll down to `Game IOS`.
|
||||
1. Enter the IOS slot to use.
|
||||
+ Try using 250 or 251, if 249 doesn't work.
|
||||
1. Press OK and try to load the game.
|
||||
|
||||
#### WiiFlow Lite
|
||||
1. Select the game that isn't working.
|
||||
1. Click the gear icon.
|
||||
1. Go to cIOS and use the arrows to select the IOS slot to use.
|
||||
+ Try using 250 or 251, if 249 doesn't work.
|
||||
1. Press Save and try to load the game.
|
||||
|
||||
[Continue to Nintendont](nintendont) Now that you have installed a USB loader of some type for Wii games, you can install a similar type of application for effectively native playback of GameCube games.

||||
|
||||
{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
|
||||
|
||||
Wii Backup Manager è un programma che copia i giochi Wii dal tuo computer a un'unità USB così da poter giocarci sul tuo Wii. Può anche scaricare le copertine dei giochi da [GameTDB](https://gametdb.com/) e possono essere usate per elencare i giochi che hai. Questo tutorial ti dirà come copiare i giochi dal tuo computer all'unità USB. Le altre funzioni si possono utilizzare in un'interfaccia facile da usare.
|
||||
|
||||
### Requisiti
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
Per memorizzare più giochi, si consiglia di utilizzare un hard drive esterno per il tuo Wii. Verrà riferito come una "unità USB" in questa guida. La maggior parte di essi che si possono trovare in mercato dovrebbero funzionare.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
Un'unità flash non è consigliata, poiché sono piccole e la loro funzionalità può variare anche tra unità identiche. <br> Come alternativa, puoi semplicemente utilizzare una scheda SD, ma il lettore della scheda SD del Wii è lento.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
Assicurati che l'unità USB sia formattata come FAT32. Non formattarla come altri tipi come exFAT, exFS. <br> Puoi formattarla come NTFS, ma non funzionerà con la maggior parte delle app (ad esempio Homebrew Channel, Nintendont)

|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||

Nintendont is a Wii-mode homebrew application that can be used to play GameCube games, as well as Triforce arcade dumps. Nintendont is an interesting app in that it is like a hybrid between an emulator and a virtual machine - while still running GameCube games near exactly at native quality and performance. Further info can be read [here](https://gbatemp.net/threads/nintendont.349258/).
|
||||
|
||||
To play games, you are advised to use a large SD card or an external hard drive, flash drives are very sporadic in functionality. See [storage FAQ](faq).
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
Make sure your storage device is formatted as FAT32. Do not format it to other file systems like NTFS, exFAT, or WBFS.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
### 必要なもの
|
||||
|
||||
* A modded Wii
|
||||
* An SD card or USB device
|
||||
* [Nintendont](https://oscwii.org/library/app/Nintendont)
|
||||
|
||||
### Installation
|
||||
1. Download Nintendont and extract it to the root of your SD card or USB drive.
|
||||
1. Insert your SD card or USB device into your Wii, and launch Nintendont from the Homebrew Channel.
|
||||
|
||||
### Quick Start Guide
|
||||
|
||||
#### Key Features
|
||||
|
||||
+ You can use various input devices to play GameCube games. These include GameCube controllers (even via a USB adapter), Wiimotes, Classic Controllers, the Konga, HID USB controllers, Bluetooth controllers, and potentially more.
|
||||
+ Nintendont has support for virtual memory cards that are saved to an external storage device, from sizes of 51 blocks up to 1019 blocks. Despite this, the recommended max size is 251 blocks per virtual card for maximum compatibility.
|
||||
+ You can use a fan-made patch to enable online play in some games.
|
||||
+ Nintendont can be leveraged in either [WiiFlow Lite](wii-loaders#wiiflow-lite) or [USB Loader GX](wii-loaders#usb-loader-gx) for the loading of GameCube games.
|
||||
|
||||
#### User Interface
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Nintendont uses a user interface that is mainly controllable and navigable using a gamepad.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Properly Launching Games
|
||||
|
||||
Games in Nintendont have to be launched from an external device with a specific folder structure, with the usage of a game ID. Game IDs can be found on [GameTDB](https://www.gametdb.com).<br> The expected structure for single disc games is as follows:<br>
|
||||
```
|
||||
💾SD/USB:
|
||||
┗ 📂games
|
||||
┗ 📂GameName [gameID]
|
||||
┗ 📜game.iso or 📜game.ciso
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The expected structure for multi disc games is as follows:<br>
|
||||
```
|
||||
💾SD/USB:
|
||||
┗ 📂games
|
||||
┗ 📂GameName [gameID]
|
||||
┣ 📜game.iso or 📜game.ciso
|
||||
┗ 📜disc2.iso or 📜disc2.ciso
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Here is an example using The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker on a USB hard drive:<br>
|
||||
```
|
||||
💾SD/USB:
|
||||
┗ 📂games
|
||||
┗ 📂The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker [GZLE01]
|
||||
┗ 📜game.iso or 📜game.ciso
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### BIOS Setup
|
||||
|
||||
You can use an original GameCube BIOS in Nintendont if you have legally obtained one.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Rename the BIOS file `iplusa.bin`/`ipljap.bin`/`iplpal.bin` based on its region.
|
||||
1. Copy it to the root of the storage device where your GameCube games are on.
|
||||
1. Go into Nintendont settings and verify that `Skip IPL` is turned OFF.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Using a HID USB controller with Nintendont
|
||||
|
||||
By default, Nintendont selects a controller configuration from an internal list of already mapped controllers. If yours does not automatically work, make sure to check the supported controller list in the article at the top of the page. If you still want to check anyway, you can use [HIDTest](https://oscwii.org/library/app/HIDTest) to determine whether or not your controller will be detected and work with Nintendont.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Button combinations for Nintendont in-game
|
||||
|
||||
Restart: Resets the game and returns to game's title screen.<br> Shutdown: Exits nintendont and returns to the loader.<br>
|
||||
|
||||
Some games may have native button combinations to reset.
|
||||
|
||||
**GameCube Controller:**<br> Restart: R+Z+Start<br> Shutdown: R+Z+B+Down (D-pad)
|
||||
|
||||
**Wiimote + Nunchuck:**<br> Shutdown: HOME button on the Wiimote
|
||||
|
||||
**HID-USB controller or adapter:**<br> You can define the Shutdown button's combination yourself.<br> The Power button is defined in the controller.ini or in the correct controllers/PID_VID.ini file used by your gamepad.<br> Most commonly used combo with default HID settings:<br> Shutdown: L+R+Z+Start

{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
|
||||
|
||||
This is a quick start guide on how to use Riivolution, an on-the-fly disk patcher for the Wii that is used to play Wii game mods.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to use Riivolution on a Wii mini, a WiFi card must be soldered and Wii IOSes must be installed.
|
||||
{: .notice--warning}
|
||||
|
||||
Riivolution requires a working disk drive and a clean physical copy of the disk the desired mod is for. Scratched disks may or may not work very well or at all.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### 必要なもの
|
||||
|
||||
* A Wii
|
||||
* A USB drive or SD Card
|
||||
* The files for your desired mod
|
||||
* A clean physical copy of the disk the mod is for
|
||||
* A working disk drive
|
||||
* [Riivolution](https://oscwii.org/library/app/riivolution)
|
||||
|
||||
### Preparing the files
|
||||
|
||||
1. Extract Riivolution and put it in the `apps` folder on your SD card or USB drive.
|
||||
1. Extract your mod files according to the diagram below to the SD or USB drive. Depending on the mod you downloaded, it may or may not already come properly structured for you.
|
||||
1. Insert your SD card and/or USB drive into your Wii and launch Riivolution from the Homebrew Channel.
|
||||
1. Insert the disk into the Wii.
|
||||
+ Optional step: you can install the official riivolution forwarder channel to the Wii menu by selecting the install option to the right. This negates the need for having to launch the homebrew channel every time you want to launch riivolution.
|
||||
1. Enable the mod and select Launch. Depending on the mod, you may have different options for it.
|
||||
|
||||
Pay attention to the region your mod is meant for. NTSC is for U.S and Japan, and PAL is for Europe and Korea.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
### File Structure
|
||||
|
||||
Every Riivolution mod is different, and depending on which mod you choose, it may include more or less files than shown in this diagram.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
Do not get confused with the actual Riivolution app, and the Riivolution folder that goes on the root.

|
||||
|
||||
#### クイックスタートガイド
|
||||
|
||||
##### 基本

### USB Loader GX
|
||||
|
||||
#### 必要なもの
|
||||
+ A modded Wii
|
||||
+ インストールされた[cIOS](cios)
|
||||
+ [USB Loader GX](https://oscwii.org/library/app/usbloader_gx)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Installation
|
||||
|
||||
1. WiiにcIOS 248-251がインストールされてることを確認してください。[SysChecker](syscheck)などのアプリやd2x cIOSインストーラで見れます。
|
||||
1. Download USB Loader GX and install it on your SD Card or USB device.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Quick Start Guide
|
||||
|
||||
##### 基本
|
||||
|
||||
+ If USB Loader GX says "Waiting for HDD..." with a 20 second countdown, it is very likely that it cannot detect your USB device. Try to exit out of the app, plug your USB device into the opposite port that it is currently in, and relaunch it.
|
||||
+ You can press the 1 Button on your Wii Remote to open up a dialog to download game covers and artwork from [GameTDB](https://gametdb.com/). It might take a while to download the game covers and artwork, depending the amount of games you have.
|
||||
+ GameCube or "custom" Wii games may or may not have a custom banner that USB Loader GX uses. To enable this, find or write `CustomBannersURL = http://banner.rc24.xyz/` in `config/GXGlobal.cfg` on the drive you installed the app on. Then, you can use the `Custom Banner` download by pressing the 1 Button on your Wii Remote.
|
||||
|
||||
##### User Interface
|
||||
|
||||
On the middle of the bottom of the screen, you can see how much space is free on your USB drive and how many games you have.
|
||||
|
||||
These are the functions of the buttons found on the bar at the top of the screen, from left to right:

||||
|
||||
+ Star - Shows games that you have marked as "favorites".
|
||||
+ Search - Lets you search for games by name.
|
||||
+ Sort - Cycles through sorting methods for games.
|
||||
+ Platform - Sorts games by platform.
|
||||

||||
There are also other buttons at the bottom of the screen:
|
||||
|
||||
+ (+) Icon - "Install" a game, i.e. loading it from disc and dumping it to your preset storage device.
|
||||

|
||||
+ Power Button - Turn off your Wii.
|
||||
|
||||
### Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
Although the majority of games should work as-is with default settings, some may require using a specific cIOS to function, or to utilize certain features within the game. Examples include:
|
||||
|
||||
+ Using a keyboard in Animal Crossing: City Folk.
|
||||
+ Running SpongeBob's Boating Bash.
|
||||
|
||||
A more comprehensive (although still incomplete) list can be found [here](https://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/Wii_cIOS_base_Compatibility_List).
|
||||
|
||||
To change the cIOS used for a specific game, follow the instructions specific to your USB loader:
|
||||
|
||||
#### USB Loader GX
|
||||
1. Select the game that isn't working.
|
||||
1. Click Settings.
|
||||
1. Select `Game Load`.
|
||||
1. Scroll down to `Game IOS`.
|
||||
1. Enter the IOS slot to use.
|
||||
+ Try using 250 or 251, if 249 doesn't work.
|
||||
1. Press OK and try to load the game.
|
||||
|
||||
#### WiiFlow Lite
|
||||
1. Select the game that isn't working.
|
||||
1. Click the gear icon.
|
||||
1. Go to cIOS and use the arrows to select the IOS slot to use.
|
||||
+ Try using 250 or 251, if 249 doesn't work.
|
||||
1. Press Save and try to load the game.
|
||||
|
||||
[Continue to Nintendont](nintendont) Now that you have installed a USB loader of some type for Wii games, you can install a similar type of application for effectively native playback of GameCube games.

For storing multiple games, we recommend an external hard drive for your Wii. We will refer to it as a "USB drive" in this guide. Most of those found on the market should work fine.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
A flash drive is not recommended, as they are small and may vary in behavior even between the same product. <br> As an alternative, you may simply use an SD card, but the Wii's SD card slot is slow.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
Make sure your USB drive is formatted as FAT32. Do not format it as other types such as exFAT, extFS. <br> You may format it as NTFS, but it won't work with a majority of apps (eg. The Homebrew Channel, Nintendont)

{% include toc title="목차" %}
|
||||
|
||||
Nintendont is a Wii-mode homebrew application that can be used to play GameCube games, as well as Triforce arcade dumps. Nintendont is an interesting app in that it is like a hybrid between an emulator and a virtual machine - while still running GameCube games near exactly at native quality and performance. Further info can be read [here](https://gbatemp.net/threads/nintendont.349258/).
|
||||
|
||||
To play games, you are advised to use a large SD card or an external hard drive, flash drives are very sporadic in functionality. See [storage FAQ](faq).
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
Make sure your storage device is formatted as FAT32. Do not format it to other file systems like NTFS, exFAT, or WBFS.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
### 준비물
|
||||
|
||||
* A modded Wii
|
||||
* An SD card or USB device
|
||||
* [Nintendont](https://oscwii.org/library/app/Nintendont)
|
||||
|
||||
### Installation
|
||||
1. Download Nintendont and extract it to the root of your SD card or USB drive.
|
||||
1. Insert your SD card or USB device into your Wii, and launch Nintendont from the Homebrew Channel.
|
||||
|
||||
### Quick Start Guide
|
||||
|
||||
#### Key Features
|
||||
|
||||
+ You can use various input devices to play GameCube games. These include GameCube controllers (even via a USB adapter), Wiimotes, Classic Controllers, the Konga, HID USB controllers, Bluetooth controllers, and potentially more.
|
||||
+ Nintendont has support for virtual memory cards that are saved to an external storage device, from sizes of 51 blocks up to 1019 blocks. Despite this, the recommended max size is 251 blocks per virtual card for maximum compatibility.
|
||||
+ You can use a fan-made patch to enable online play in some games.
|
||||
+ Nintendont can be leveraged in either [WiiFlow Lite](wii-loaders#wiiflow-lite) or [USB Loader GX](wii-loaders#usb-loader-gx) for the loading of GameCube games.
|
||||
|
||||
#### User Interface
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Nintendont uses a user interface that is mainly controllable and navigable using a gamepad.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Properly Launching Games
|
||||
|
||||
Games in Nintendont have to be launched from an external device with a specific folder structure, with the usage of a game ID. Game IDs can be found on [GameTDB](https://www.gametdb.com).<br> The expected structure for single disc games is as follows:<br>
|
||||
```
|
||||
💾SD/USB:
|
||||
┗ 📂games
|
||||
┗ 📂GameName [gameID]
|
||||
┗ 📜game.iso or 📜game.ciso
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The expected structure for multi disc games is as follows:<br>
|
||||
```
|
||||
💾SD/USB:
|
||||
┗ 📂games
|
||||
┗ 📂GameName [gameID]
|
||||
┣ 📜game.iso or 📜game.ciso
|
||||
┗ 📜disc2.iso or 📜disc2.ciso
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Here is an example using The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker on a USB hard drive:<br>
|
||||
```
|
||||
💾SD/USB:
|
||||
┗ 📂games
|
||||
┗ 📂The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker [GZLE01]
|
||||
┗ 📜game.iso or 📜game.ciso
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### BIOS Setup
|
||||
|
||||
You can use an original GameCube BIOS in Nintendont if you have legally obtained one.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Rename the BIOS file `iplusa.bin`/`ipljap.bin`/`iplpal.bin` based on its region.
|
||||
1. Copy it to the root of the storage device where your GameCube games are on.
|
||||
1. Go into Nintendont settings and verify that `Skip IPL` is turned OFF.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Using a HID USB controller with Nintendont
|
||||
|
||||
By default, Nintendont selects a controller configuration from an internal list of already mapped controllers. If yours does not automatically work, make sure to check the supported controller list in the article at the top of the page. If you still want to check anyway, you can use [HIDTest](https://oscwii.org/library/app/HIDTest) to determine whether or not your controller will be detected and work with Nintendont.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Button combinations for Nintendont in-game
|
||||
|
||||
Restart: Resets the game and returns to game's title screen.<br> Shutdown: Exits nintendont and returns to the loader.<br>
|
||||
|
||||
Some games may have native button combinations to reset.
|
||||
|
||||
**GameCube Controller:**<br> Restart: R+Z+Start<br> Shutdown: R+Z+B+Down (D-pad)
|
||||
|
||||
**Wiimote + Nunchuck:**<br> Shutdown: HOME button on the Wiimote
|
||||
|
||||
**HID-USB controller or adapter:**<br> You can define the Shutdown button's combination yourself.<br> The Power button is defined in the controller.ini or in the correct controllers/PID_VID.ini file used by your gamepad.<br> Most commonly used combo with default HID settings:<br> Shutdown: L+R+Z+Start

|
||||
|
||||
This is a quick start guide on how to use Riivolution, an on-the-fly disk patcher for the Wii that is used to play Wii game mods.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to use Riivolution on a Wii mini, a WiFi card must be soldered and Wii IOSes must be installed.
|
||||
{: .notice--warning}
|
||||
|
||||
Riivolution requires a working disk drive and a clean physical copy of the disk the desired mod is for. Scratched disks may or may not work very well or at all.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### 준비물
|
||||
|
||||
* A Wii
|
||||
* A USB drive or SD Card
|
||||
* The files for your desired mod
|
||||
* A clean physical copy of the disk the mod is for
|
||||
* A working disk drive
|
||||
* [Riivolution](https://oscwii.org/library/app/riivolution)
|
||||
|
||||
### Preparing the files
|
||||
|
||||
1. Extract Riivolution and put it in the `apps` folder on your SD card or USB drive.
|
||||
1. Extract your mod files according to the diagram below to the SD or USB drive. Depending on the mod you downloaded, it may or may not already come properly structured for you.
|
||||
1. Insert your SD card and/or USB drive into your Wii and launch Riivolution from the Homebrew Channel.
|
||||
1. Insert the disk into the Wii.
|
||||
+ Optional step: you can install the official riivolution forwarder channel to the Wii menu by selecting the install option to the right. This negates the need for having to launch the homebrew channel every time you want to launch riivolution.
|
||||
1. Enable the mod and select Launch. Depending on the mod, you may have different options for it.
|
||||
|
||||
Pay attention to the region your mod is meant for. NTSC is for U.S and Japan, and PAL is for Europe and Korea.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
### File Structure
|
||||
|
||||
Every Riivolution mod is different, and depending on which mod you choose, it may include more or less files than shown in this diagram.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
Do not get confused with the actual Riivolution app, and the Riivolution folder that goes on the root.

title: "USB Loaders"
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
{% include toc title="목차" %}
|
||||
|
||||
This guide introduces USB loaders on the Wii. They can be primarily used to load game backups that were dumped from a retail game disc. Depending on the loader, there may also be extensions to allow it to function as a frontend for non-Wii games as well. The two most commonly used loaders are USB Loader GX and WiiFlow Lite (a regularly updated mod of the original WiiFlow) - one loader may work better for you than the other, so it's worth trying both out.
|
||||
|
||||
**Note about Configurable USB Loader:**<br> Due to the age and lack of support for Configurable USB Loader (last update was in 2011), this guide does not provide dedicated installation instructions. If enough demand is there, it may be added in the future.
|
||||
{: .notice--warning}
|
||||
|
||||
In order for a USB loader to function properly, you must have the correct cIOS installed. Please check [this](cios) guide for instructions if you are on Wii, and [this](cios-mini) guide if you are on Wii mini.
|
||||
{: .notice--warning}
|
||||
|
||||
To play games, you are advised to use a large SD card or an external hard drive, flash drives are very sporadic in functionality. See [storage FAQ](faq).
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
Forwarders to open these loaders on the Wii Menu can be found on the Open Shop Channel for [WiiFlow Lite](https://oscwii.org/library/app/wiiflow_channel_installer) or on the official SourceForge page for [USB Loader GX](https://sourceforge.net/projects/usbloadergx/files/Releases/Forwarders/USB%20Loader%20GX-UNEO_Forwarder_5_1_AHBPROT.wad/download). You can install either with [YAWM ModMii Edition](yawmme).

#### 준비물
|
||||
+ A modded Wii
|
||||
+ Fully installed [cIOS](cios)
|
||||
+ [WiiFlow](https://oscwii.org/library/app/wiiflow)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Installation
|
||||
|
||||
1. Ensure that your Wii already has cIOS 248-251 installed - this can be checked with applications like [SysChecker](syscheck) or d2x cIOS installer.
|
||||
1. Download WiiFlow and install it on your SD Card or USB device.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Quick Start Guide
|
||||
|
||||
##### General
|
||||
|
||||
+ WiiFlow by default is set to only find games on the SD card. This can be changed by going to `Settings > Startup Settings` to then turn off `Mount SD Only`.
|
||||
+ You can toggle the current view in Wiiflow between plugins, games, homebrew, and Wii channels by clicking the button to the left of `Home`, on the bottom right.
|
||||
+ You can download game covers by going to `Settings` > `Download Covers and Banners`.
|
||||
|
||||
##### User Interface
|
||||
|
||||
When WiiFlow detects games, they are displayed in flow view.<br> When you click on a game, you are given these options:
|
||||
+ Star - Adds game to favorites.
|
||||
+ Bookshelf - Adds the game to 1 of 6 categories of your choosing.
|
||||
+ Gears - Opens the settings menu for that game - these settings are unique to that game and that game only.
|
||||
+ X - Deletes the game from the USB drive or SD card.
|
||||
|
||||
When you bring the cursor to the bottom of the screen while in flow view, there are 6 icons:
|
||||
+ Bookshelf - View the games that are sorted in the categories you chose.
|
||||
+ Star - View games you favorited.
|
||||
+ Gears - Opens WiiFlow Settings.
|
||||

### USB Loader GX
|
||||
|
||||
#### 준비물
|
||||
+ A modded Wii
|
||||
+ Fully installed [cIOS](cios)
|
||||
+ [USB Loader GX](https://oscwii.org/library/app/usbloader_gx)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Installation
|
||||
|
||||
1. Ensure that your Wii already has cIOS 248-251 installed - this can be checked with applications like [SysChecker](syscheck) or d2x cIOS installer.
|
||||
1. Download USB Loader GX and install it on your SD Card or USB device.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Quick Start Guide
|
||||
|
||||
##### General
|
||||
|
||||
+ If USB Loader GX says "Waiting for HDD..." with a 20 second countdown, it is very likely that it cannot detect your USB device. Try to exit out of the app, plug your USB device into the opposite port that it is currently in, and relaunch it.
|
||||
+ You can press the 1 Button on your Wii Remote to open up a dialog to download game covers and artwork from [GameTDB](https://gametdb.com/). It might take a while to download the game covers and artwork, depending the amount of games you have.
|
||||
+ GameCube or "custom" Wii games may or may not have a custom banner that USB Loader GX uses. To enable this, find or write `CustomBannersURL = http://banner.rc24.xyz/` in `config/GXGlobal.cfg` on the drive you installed the app on. Then, you can use the `Custom Banner` download by pressing the 1 Button on your Wii Remote.
|
||||
|
||||
##### User Interface
|
||||
|
||||
On the middle of the bottom of the screen, you can see how much space is free on your USB drive and how many games you have.
|
||||
|
||||
These are the functions of the buttons found on the bar at the top of the screen, from left to right:
|
||||
|
||||
+ Star - Shows games that you have marked as "favorites".
|
||||
+ Search - Lets you search for games by name.
|
||||
+ Sort - Cycles through sorting methods for games.
|
||||
+ Platform - Sorts games by platform.
|
||||
+ Category - Sorts games by category.

|
||||
+ Parental Control - Locks USB Loader GX.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
Although the majority of games should work as-is with default settings, some may require using a specific cIOS to function, or to utilize certain features within the game. Examples include:
|
||||
|
||||
+ Using a keyboard in Animal Crossing: City Folk.
|
||||
+ Running SpongeBob's Boating Bash.
|
||||
|
||||
A more comprehensive (although still incomplete) list can be found [here](https://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/Wii_cIOS_base_Compatibility_List).
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
1. Select `Game Load`.
|
||||
1. Scroll down to `Game IOS`.
|
||||
1. Enter the IOS slot to use.
|
||||
+ Try using 250 or 251, if 249 doesn't work.
|
||||
1. Press OK and try to load the game.
|
||||
|
||||
#### WiiFlow Lite
|
||||
1. Select the game that isn't working.
|
||||
1. Click the gear icon.
|
||||
1. Go to cIOS and use the arrows to select the IOS slot to use.
|
||||

|
||||
1. Press Save and try to load the game.
|
||||
|
||||

GameCube Backup Manager is a convenient PC software that simplifies the process of transferring GameCube games to your USB drive or SD Card. It functions similar to the popular tool called [Wii Backup Manager](wiibackupmanager), allowing you to easily manage and organize your GameCube game backups. With this program, you can effortlessly copy your favorite GameCube games onto portable storage devices, making them readily accessible for future gaming sessions.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
To play multiple games, it is recommended to use an external hard drive for your Wii. Any external hard drive found on most modern marketplaces should work with your Wii.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||

{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
|
||||
|
||||
Nintendont is a Wii-mode homebrew application that can be used to play GameCube games, as well as Triforce arcade dumps. Nintendont is an interesting app in that it is like a hybrid between an emulator and a virtual machine - while still running GameCube games near exactly at native quality and performance. Further info can be read [here](https://gbatemp.net/threads/nintendont.349258/).
|
||||
|
||||
To play games, you are advised to use a large SD card or an external hard drive, flash drives are very sporadic in functionality. See [storage FAQ](faq).
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
Make sure your storage device is formatted as FAT32. Do not format it to other file systems like NTFS, exFAT, or WBFS.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
### Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
* A modded Wii
|
||||
* An SD card or USB device
|
||||
* [Nintendont](https://oscwii.org/library/app/Nintendont)
|
||||
|
||||
### Installation
|
||||
1. Download Nintendont and extract it to the root of your SD card or USB drive.
|
||||
1. Insert your SD card or USB device into your Wii, and launch Nintendont from the Homebrew Channel.
|
||||
|
||||
### Quick Start Guide
|
||||
|
||||
#### Key Features
|
||||
|
||||
+ You can use various input devices to play GameCube games. These include GameCube controllers (even via a USB adapter), Wiimotes, Classic Controllers, the Konga, HID USB controllers, Bluetooth controllers, and potentially more.
|
||||
+ Nintendont has support for virtual memory cards that are saved to an external storage device, from sizes of 51 blocks up to 1019 blocks. Despite this, the recommended max size is 251 blocks per virtual card for maximum compatibility.
|
||||
+ You can use a fan-made patch to enable online play in some games.
|
||||
+ Nintendont can be leveraged in either [WiiFlow Lite](usb-loaders#wiiflow-lite) or [USB Loader GX](usb-loaders#usb-loader-gx) for the loading of GameCube games.
|
||||
|
||||
#### User Interface
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Nintendont uses a user interface that is mainly controllable and navigable using a gamepad.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Properly Launching Games
|
||||
|
||||
Games in Nintendont have to be launched from an external device with a specific folder structure, with the usage of a game ID. Game IDs can be found on [GameTDB](https://www.gametdb.com).<br> The expected structure for single disc games is as follows:<br> `device:/games/(game name) [game ID]/game.iso`
|
||||
|
||||
The expected structure for multi disc games is as follows:<br> `device:/games/(game name) [game ID]/game.iso`<br> `device:/games/(game name) [game ID]/disc2.iso` (so on and so forth)
|
||||
|
||||
Here is an example using The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker on a USB hard drive:<br> `USB:/games/The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker [GZLE01]/game.iso`
|
||||
|
||||
#### BIOS Setup
|
||||
|
||||
You can use an original GameCube BIOS in Nintendont if you have legally obtained one.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Rename the BIOS file `iplusa.bin`/`ipljap.bin`/`iplpal.bin` based on its region.
|
||||
1. Copy it to the root of the storage device where Nintendont is installed on.
|
||||
1. Go into Nintendont settings and verify that `Load IPL` is turned ON.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Using a HID USB controller with Nintendont
|
||||
|
||||
By default, Nintendont selects a controller configuration from an internal list of already mapped controllers. If yours does not automatically work, make sure to check the supported controller list in the article at the top of the page. If you still want to check anyway, you can use [HIDTest](https://oscwii.org/library/app/HIDTest) to determine whether or not your controller will be detected and work with Nintendont.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Button combinations for Nintendont in-game
|
||||
|
||||
Restart: Resets the game and returns to game's title screen.<br> Shutdown: Exits nintendont and returns to the loader.<br>
|
||||
|
||||
Some games may have native button combinations to reset.
|
||||
|
||||
**GameCube Controller:**<br> Restart: R+Z+Start<br> Shutdown: R+Z+B+Down (D-pad)
|
||||
|
||||
**Wiimote + Nunchuck:**<br> Shutdown: HOME button on the Wiimote
|
||||
|
||||
**HID-USB controller or adapter:**<br> You can define the Shutdown button's combination yourself.<br> The Power button is defined in the controller.ini or in the correct controllers/PID_VID.ini file used by your gamepad.<br> Most commonly used combo with default HID settings:<br> Shutdown: L+R+Z+Start

+ Optional step: you can install the official riivolution forwarder channel to the Wii menu by selecting the install option to the right. This negates the need for having to launch the homebrew channel every time you want to launch riivolution.
|
||||
1. Enable the mod and select Launch. Depending on the mod, you may have different options for it.
|
||||
|
||||
Pay attention to the region your mod is meant for. NTSC is for U.S and Japan, and PAL is for Europe and Korea.

### File Structure
|
||||
|
||||
Every Riivolution mod is different, and depending on which mod you choose, it may include more or less files than shown in this diagram.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
Do not get confused with the actual Riivolution app, and the Riivolution folder that goes on the root.

title: "USB Loaders"
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
|
||||
|
||||
This guide introduces USB loaders on the Wii. They can be primarily used to load game backups that were dumped from a retail game disc. Depending on the loader, there may also be extensions to allow it to function as a frontend for non-Wii games as well. The two most commonly used loaders are USB Loader GX and WiiFlow Lite (a regularly updated mod of the original WiiFlow) - one loader may work better for you than the other, so it's worth trying both out.
|
||||
|
||||
**Note about Configurable USB Loader:**<br> Due to the age and lack of support for Configurable USB Loader (last update was in 2011), this guide does not provide dedicated installation instructions. If enough demand is there, it may be added in the future.
|
||||
{: .notice--warning}
|
||||
|
||||
In order for a USB loader to function properly, you must have the correct cIOS installed. Please check [this](cios) guide for instructions if you are on Wii, and [this](cios-mini) guide if you are on Wii mini.
|
||||
{: .notice--warning}
|
||||
|
||||
To play games, you are advised to use a large SD card or an external hard drive, flash drives are very sporadic in functionality. See [storage FAQ](faq).
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
Forwarders to open these loaders on the Wii Menu can be found on the Open Shop Channel for [WiiFlow Lite](https://oscwii.org/library/app/wiiflow_channel_installer) or on the official SourceForge page for [USB Loader GX](https://sourceforge.net/projects/usbloadergx/files/Releases/Forwarders/USB%20Loader%20GX-UNEO_Forwarder_5_1_AHBPROT.wad/download). You can install either with [YAWM ModMii Edition](yawmme).
|
||||

### WiiFlow Lite
|
||||
|
||||
#### Requirements
|
||||
+ A modded Wii
|
||||
+ Fully installed [cIOS](cios)
|
||||
+ [WiiFlow](https://oscwii.org/library/app/wiiflow)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Installation
|
||||
|
||||
1. Ensure that your Wii already has cIOS 248-251 installed - this can be checked with applications like [SysChecker](syscheck) or d2x cIOS installer.
|
||||
1. Download WiiFlow and install it on your SD Card or USB device.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Quick Start Guide
|
||||
|
||||
##### General
|
||||
|
||||
+ WiiFlow by default is set to only find games on the SD card. This can be changed by going to `Settings > Startup Settings` to then turn off `Mount SD Only`.
|
||||
+ You can toggle the current view in Wiiflow between plugins, games, homebrew, and Wii channels by clicking the button to the left of `Home`, on the bottom right.
|
||||
+ You can download game covers by going to `Settings` > `Download Covers and Banners`.
|
||||
|
||||
##### User Interface
|
||||
|
||||
When WiiFlow detects games, they are displayed in flow view.<br> When you click on a game, you are given these options:
|
||||
+ Star - Adds game to favorites.
|
||||
+ Bookshelf - Adds the game to 1 of 6 categories of your choosing.
|
||||
+ Gears - Opens the settings menu for that game - these settings are unique to that game and that game only.
|
||||
+ X - Deletes the game from the USB drive or SD card.
|
||||
|
||||
When you bring the cursor to the bottom of the screen while in flow view, there are 6 icons:
|
||||
+ Bookshelf - View the games that are sorted in the categories you chose.
|
||||
+ Star - View games you favorited.
|
||||
+ Gears - Opens WiiFlow Settings.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### USB Loader GX
|
||||
|
||||
#### Requirements
|
||||
+ A modded Wii
|
||||
+ Fully installed [cIOS](cios)
|
||||
+ [USB Loader GX](https://oscwii.org/library/app/usbloader_gx)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Installation
|
||||
|
||||
1. Ensure that your Wii already has cIOS 248-251 installed - this can be checked with applications like [SysChecker](syscheck) or d2x cIOS installer.
|
||||
1. Download USB Loader GX and install it on your SD Card or USB device.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Quick Start Guide
|
||||
|
||||
##### General
|
||||
|
||||
+ If USB Loader GX says "Waiting for HDD..." with a 20 second countdown, it is very likely that it cannot detect your USB device. Try to exit out of the app, plug your USB device into the opposite port that it is currently in, and relaunch it.
|
||||
+ You can press the 1 Button on your Wii Remote to open up a dialog to download game covers and artwork from [GameTDB](https://gametdb.com/). It might take a while to download the game covers and artwork, depending the amount of games you have.
|
||||
+ GameCube or "custom" Wii games may or may not have a custom banner that USB Loader GX uses. To enable this, find or write `CustomBannersURL = http://banner.rc24.xyz/` in `config/GXGlobal.cfg` on the drive you installed the app on. Then, you can use the `Custom Banner` download by pressing the 1 Button on your Wii Remote.
|
||||
|
||||
##### User Interface
|
||||
|
||||
On the middle of the bottom of the screen, you can see how much space is free on your USB drive and how many games you have.
|
||||
|
||||
These are the functions of the buttons found on the bar at the top of the screen, from left to right:
|
||||
|
||||
+ Star - Shows games that you have marked as "favorites".
|
||||
+ Search - Lets you search for games by name.
|
||||
+ Sort - Cycles through sorting methods for games.
|
||||
+ Platform - Sorts games by platform.
|
||||
+ Category - Sorts games by category.
|
||||
+ List - Shows games in a list view.
|
||||
+ Multi-Cover View - Shows games in a multi-cover view.
|
||||
+ Cover Carousel View - Shows games in a carousel view.
|
||||
+ Wii Menu View - Shows games in a Wii Menu view.
|
||||
+ Parental Control - Locks USB Loader GX.
|
||||
+ Disc - Loads a game that is in the disc drive.
|
||||
|
||||
There are also other buttons at the bottom of the screen:
|
||||
|
||||
+ (+) Icon - "Install" a game, i.e. loading it from disc and dumping it to your preset storage device.
|
||||
+ Gears - Global settings for USB Loader GX.
|
||||
+ SD card - Remount the SD card.
|
||||
+ Homebrew - Load homebrew apps.

||||
+ Power Button - Turn off your Wii.
|
||||
|
||||
### Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
Although the majority of games should work as-is with default settings, some may require using a specific cIOS to function, or to utilize certain features within the game. Examples include:
|
||||
|
||||
+ Using a keyboard in Animal Crossing: City Folk.
|
||||
+ Running SpongeBob's Boating Bash.
|
||||
|
||||
A more comprehensive (although still incomplete) list can be found [here](https://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/Wii_cIOS_base_Compatibility_List).
|
||||
|
||||
To change the cIOS used for a specific game, follow the instructions specific to your USB loader:
|
||||
|
||||
#### USB Loader GX
|
||||
1. Select the game that isn't working.
|
||||
1. Click Settings.
|
||||
1. Select `Game Load`.
|
||||
1. Scroll down to `Game IOS`.
|
||||
1. Enter the IOS slot to use.
|
||||
+ Try using 250 or 251, if 249 doesn't work.
|
||||
1. Press OK and try to load the game.
|
||||
|
||||
#### WiiFlow Lite
|
||||
1. Select the game that isn't working.

title: "GameCube Backup Manager"
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
|
||||
|
||||
GameCube Backup Manager is a convenient PC software that simplifies the process of transferring GameCube games to your USB drive or SD Card. It functions similar to the popular tool called [Wii Backup Manager](wiibackupmanager), allowing you to easily manage and organize your GameCube game backups. With this program, you can effortlessly copy your favorite GameCube games onto portable storage devices, making them readily accessible for future gaming sessions.
|
||||
|
||||
### Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
* An SD card or USB drive
|
||||
* [GameCube Backup Manager](https://github.com/AxionDrak/GameCube-Backup-Manager/releases)
|
||||
|
||||
To play multiple games, it is recommended to use an external hard drive for your Wii. Any external hard drive found on most modern marketplaces should work with your Wii.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
Make sure your USB drive is formatted as FAT32. Do not format it as other types such as NTFS, exFAT, extFS, or WBFS, the latter being an outdated filesystem for storing Wii games.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
### Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
#### Section I - Downloading
|

||||
|
||||
{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
|
||||
|
||||
Nintendont is a Wii-mode homebrew application that can be used to play GameCube games, as well as Triforce arcade dumps. Nintendont is an interesting app in that it is like a hybrid between an emulator and a virtual machine - while still running GameCube games near exactly at native quality and performance. Further info can be read [here](https://gbatemp.net/threads/nintendont.349258/).
|
||||
|
||||
To play games, you are advised to use a large SD card or an external hard drive, flash drives are very sporadic in functionality. See [storage FAQ](faq).
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
Make sure your storage device is formatted as FAT32. Do not format it to other file systems like NTFS, exFAT, or WBFS.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
### Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
* A modded Wii
|
||||
* An SD card or USB device
|
||||
* [Nintendont](https://oscwii.org/library/app/Nintendont)
|
||||
|
||||
### Installation
|
||||
1. Download Nintendont and extract it to the root of your SD card or USB drive.
|
||||
1. Insert your SD card or USB device into your Wii, and launch Nintendont from the Homebrew Channel.
|
||||
|
||||
### Quick Start Guide
|
||||
|
||||
#### Key Features
|
||||
|
||||
+ You can use various input devices to play GameCube games. These include GameCube controllers (even via a USB adapter), Wiimotes, Classic Controllers, the Konga, HID USB controllers, Bluetooth controllers, and potentially more.
|
||||
+ Nintendont has support for virtual memory cards that are saved to an external storage device, from sizes of 51 blocks up to 1019 blocks. Despite this, the recommended max size is 251 blocks per virtual card for maximum compatibility.
|
||||
+ You can use a fan-made patch to enable online play in some games.
|
||||
+ Nintendont can be leveraged in either [WiiFlow Lite](wii-loaders#wiiflow-lite) or [USB Loader GX](wii-loaders#usb-loader-gx) for the loading of GameCube games.
|
||||
|
||||
#### User Interface
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Nintendont uses a user interface that is mainly controllable and navigable using a gamepad.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Properly Launching Games
|
||||
|
||||
Games in Nintendont have to be launched from an external device with a specific folder structure, with the usage of a game ID. Game IDs can be found on [GameTDB](https://www.gametdb.com).<br> The expected structure for single disc games is as follows:<br>
|
||||
```
|
||||
💾SD/USB:
|
||||
┗ 📂games
|
||||
┗ 📂GameName [gameID]
|
||||
┗ 📜game.iso or 📜game.ciso
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The expected structure for multi disc games is as follows:<br>
|
||||
```
|
||||
💾SD/USB:
|
||||
┗ 📂games
|
||||
┗ 📂GameName [gameID]
|
||||
┣ 📜game.iso or 📜game.ciso
|
||||
┗ 📜disc2.iso or 📜disc2.ciso
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Here is an example using The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker on a USB hard drive:<br>
|
||||
```
|
||||
💾SD/USB:
|
||||
┗ 📂games
|
||||
┗ 📂The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker [GZLE01]
|
||||
┗ 📜game.iso or 📜game.ciso
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### BIOS Setup
|
||||
|
||||
You can use an original GameCube BIOS in Nintendont if you have legally obtained one.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Rename the BIOS file `iplusa.bin`/`ipljap.bin`/`iplpal.bin` based on its region.
|
||||
1. Copy it to the root of the storage device where your GameCube games are on.
|
||||
1. Go into Nintendont settings and verify that `Skip IPL` is turned OFF.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Using a HID USB controller with Nintendont
|
||||
|
||||
By default, Nintendont selects a controller configuration from an internal list of already mapped controllers. If yours does not automatically work, make sure to check the supported controller list in the article at the top of the page. If you still want to check anyway, you can use [HIDTest](https://oscwii.org/library/app/HIDTest) to determine whether or not your controller will be detected and work with Nintendont.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Button combinations for Nintendont in-game
|
||||
|
||||
Restart: Resets the game and returns to game's title screen.<br> Shutdown: Exits nintendont and returns to the loader.<br>
|
||||
|
||||
Some games may have native button combinations to reset.
|
||||
|
||||
**GameCube Controller:**<br> Restart: R+Z+Start<br> Shutdown: R+Z+B+Down (D-pad)
|
||||
|
||||
**Wiimote + Nunchuck:**<br> Shutdown: HOME button on the Wiimote
|
||||
|
||||
**HID-USB controller or adapter:**<br> You can define the Shutdown button's combination yourself.<br> The Power button is defined in the controller.ini or in the correct controllers/PID_VID.ini file used by your gamepad.<br> Most commonly used combo with default HID settings:<br> Shutdown: L+R+Z+Start

{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
|
||||
|
||||
This is a quick start guide on how to use Riivolution, an on-the-fly disk patcher for the Wii that is used to play Wii game mods.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to use Riivolution on a Wii mini, a WiFi card must be soldered and Wii IOSes must be installed.
|
||||
{: .notice--warning}
|
||||
|
||||
Riivolution requires a working disk drive and a clean physical copy of the disk the desired mod is for. Scratched disks may or may not work very well or at all.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
* A Wii
|
||||
* A USB drive or SD Card
|
||||
* The files for your desired mod
|
||||
* A clean physical copy of the disk the mod is for
|
||||
* A working disk drive
|
||||
* [Riivolution](https://oscwii.org/library/app/riivolution)
|
||||
|
||||
### Preparing the files
|
||||
|
||||
1. Extract Riivolution and put it in the `apps` folder on your SD card or USB drive.
|
||||
1. Extract your mod files according to the diagram below to the SD or USB drive. Depending on the mod you downloaded, it may or may not already come properly structured for you.
|
||||
1. Insert your SD card and/or USB drive into your Wii and launch Riivolution from the Homebrew Channel.
|
||||
1. Insert the disk into the Wii.
|
||||
+ Optional step: you can install the official riivolution forwarder channel to the Wii menu by selecting the install option to the right. This negates the need for having to launch the homebrew channel every time you want to launch riivolution.
|
||||
1. Enable the mod and select Launch. Depending on the mod, you may have different options for it.
|
||||
|
||||
Pay attention to the region your mod is meant for. NTSC is for U.S and Japan, and PAL is for Europe and Korea.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
### File Structure
|
||||
|
||||
Every Riivolution mod is different, and depending on which mod you choose, it may include more or less files than shown in this diagram.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
Do not get confused with the actual Riivolution app, and the Riivolution folder that goes on the root.

{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
|

|

This guide introduces USB loaders on the Wii. They can be primarily used to load game backups that were dumped from a retail game disc. Depending on the loader, there may also be extensions to allow it to function as a frontend for non-Wii games as well. The two most commonly used loaders are USB Loader GX and WiiFlow Lite (a regularly updated mod of the original WiiFlow) - one loader may work better for you than the other, so it's worth trying both out.
|
||||
|
||||
**Note about Configurable USB Loader:**<br> Due to the age and lack of support for Configurable USB Loader (last update was in 2011), this guide does not provide dedicated installation instructions. If enough demand is there, it may be added in the future.
|
||||
{: .notice--warning}
|
||||
|
||||
In order for a USB loader to function properly, you must have the correct cIOS installed. Please check [this](cios) guide for instructions if you are on Wii, and [this](cios-mini) guide if you are on Wii mini.
|
||||
{: .notice--warning}
|
||||
|
||||
To play games, you are advised to use a large SD card or an external hard drive, flash drives are very sporadic in functionality. See [storage FAQ](faq).
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
Forwarders to open these loaders on the Wii Menu can be found on the Open Shop Channel for [WiiFlow Lite](https://oscwii.org/library/app/wiiflow_channel_installer) or on the official SourceForge page for [USB Loader GX](https://sourceforge.net/projects/usbloadergx/files/Releases/Forwarders/USB%20Loader%20GX-UNEO_Forwarder_5_1_AHBPROT.wad/download). You can install either with [YAWM ModMii Edition](yawmme).

|
||||
|
||||
#### Requirements
|
||||
+ A modded Wii
|
||||
+ Fully installed [cIOS](cios)
|
||||
+ [WiiFlow](https://oscwii.org/library/app/wiiflow)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Installation
|
||||
|
||||
1. Ensure that your Wii already has cIOS 248-251 installed - this can be checked with applications like [SysChecker](syscheck) or d2x cIOS installer.
|
||||
1. Download WiiFlow and install it on your SD Card or USB device.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Quick Start Guide
|
||||
|
||||
##### General
|
||||
|
||||
+ WiiFlow by default is set to only find games on the SD card. This can be changed by going to `Settings > Startup Settings` to then turn off `Mount SD Only`.
|
||||
+ You can toggle the current view in Wiiflow between plugins, games, homebrew, and Wii channels by clicking the button to the left of `Home`, on the bottom right.
|
||||
+ You can download game covers by going to `Settings` > `Download Covers and Banners`.
|
||||
|
||||
##### User Interface
|
||||
|
||||
When WiiFlow detects games, they are displayed in flow view.<br> When you click on a game, you are given these options:
|
||||
+ Star - Adds game to favorites.
|
||||
+ Bookshelf - Adds the game to 1 of 6 categories of your choosing.
|
||||
+ Gears - Opens the settings menu for that game - these settings are unique to that game and that game only.
|
||||
+ X - Deletes the game from the USB drive or SD card.
|
||||
|
||||
When you bring the cursor to the bottom of the screen while in flow view, there are 6 icons:
|
||||

|
||||
+ Star - View games you favorited.
|
||||
+ Gears - Opens WiiFlow Settings.

### USB Loader GX
|
||||
|
||||
#### Requirements
|
||||
+ A modded Wii
|
||||
+ Fully installed [cIOS](cios)
|
||||
+ [USB Loader GX](https://oscwii.org/library/app/usbloader_gx)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Installation
|
||||
|
||||
1. Ensure that your Wii already has cIOS 248-251 installed - this can be checked with applications like [SysChecker](syscheck) or d2x cIOS installer.
|
||||
1. Download USB Loader GX and install it on your SD Card or USB device.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Quick Start Guide
|
||||
|
||||
##### General
|
||||
|
||||
+ If USB Loader GX says "Waiting for HDD..." with a 20 second countdown, it is very likely that it cannot detect your USB device. Try to exit out of the app, plug your USB device into the opposite port that it is currently in, and relaunch it.
|
||||
+ You can press the 1 Button on your Wii Remote to open up a dialog to download game covers and artwork from [GameTDB](https://gametdb.com/). It might take a while to download the game covers and artwork, depending the amount of games you have.
|
||||
+ GameCube or "custom" Wii games may or may not have a custom banner that USB Loader GX uses. To enable this, find or write `CustomBannersURL = http://banner.rc24.xyz/` in `config/GXGlobal.cfg` on the drive you installed the app on. Then, you can use the `Custom Banner` download by pressing the 1 Button on your Wii Remote.
|
||||
|
||||
##### User Interface
|
||||
|
||||
On the middle of the bottom of the screen, you can see how much space is free on your USB drive and how many games you have.

||||
|
||||
+ Star - Shows games that you have marked as "favorites".
|
||||
+ Search - Lets you search for games by name.

|
||||
|
||||
There are also other buttons at the bottom of the screen:
|
||||
|
||||
+ (+) Icon - "Install" a game, i.e. loading it from disc and dumping it to your preset storage device.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
Although the majority of games should work as-is with default settings, some may require using a specific cIOS to function, or to utilize certain features within the game. Examples include:
|
||||
|
||||
+ Using a keyboard in Animal Crossing: City Folk.
|
||||
+ Running SpongeBob's Boating Bash.
|
||||
|
||||
A more comprehensive (although still incomplete) list can be found [here](https://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/Wii_cIOS_base_Compatibility_List).
|
||||
|
||||
To change the cIOS used for a specific game, follow the instructions specific to your USB loader:
|
||||
|
||||
#### USB Loader GX
|
||||
1. Select the game that isn't working.
|
||||
1. Click Settings.
|
||||
1. Select `Game Load`.
|
||||
1. Scroll down to `Game IOS`.
|
||||
1. Enter the IOS slot to use.
|
||||
+ Try using 250 or 251, if 249 doesn't work.
|
||||
1. Press OK and try to load the game.
|
||||
|
||||
#### WiiFlow Lite
|
||||
1. Select the game that isn't working.

|
||||
1. Press Save and try to load the game.
|
||||
|
||||
[Continue to Nintendont](nintendont) Now that you have installed a USB loader of some type for Wii games, you can install a similar type of application for effectively native playback of GameCube games.

|
||||
|
||||
Wii Backup Manager is a program to copy Wii games from your computer to a USB drive so you can play the games on your Wii. It also can download game covers from [GameTDB](https://gametdb.com/) and can be used to list what games you have.

||||
|
||||
A flash drive is not recommended, as they are small and may vary in behavior even between the same product. <br> As an alternative, you may simply use an SD card, but the Wii's SD card slot is slow.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
Make sure your USB drive is formatted as FAT32. Do not format it as other types such as exFAT, extFS. <br> You may format it as NTFS, but it won't work with a majority of apps (eg. The Homebrew Channel, Nintendont)

Nintendont is a Wii-mode homebrew application that can be used to play GameCube games, as well as Triforce arcade dumps. Nintendont is an interesting app in that it is like a hybrid between an emulator and a virtual machine - while still running GameCube games near exactly at native quality and performance. Further info can be read [here](https://gbatemp.net/threads/nintendont.349258/).
|
||||
|
||||
To play games, you are advised to use a large SD card or an external hard drive, flash drives are very sporadic in functionality. See [storage FAQ](faq).
|
||||
{: .notice--info}

{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
### Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
* A modded Wii
|
||||
* An SD card or USB device
|
||||
* [Nintendont](https://oscwii.org/library/app/Nintendont)
|
||||
|
||||
### Installation
|
||||
1. Download Nintendont and extract it to the root of your SD card or USB drive.
|
||||
1. Insert your SD card or USB device into your Wii, and launch Nintendont from the Homebrew Channel.
|
||||
|
||||
### Quick Start Guide
|
||||
|
||||
#### Key Features
|
||||
|
||||
+ You can use various input devices to play GameCube games. These include GameCube controllers (even via a USB adapter), Wiimotes, Classic Controllers, the Konga, HID USB controllers, Bluetooth controllers, and potentially more.
|
||||
+ Nintendont has support for virtual memory cards that are saved to an external storage device, from sizes of 51 blocks up to 1019 blocks. Despite this, the recommended max size is 251 blocks per virtual card for maximum compatibility.
|
||||
+ You can use a fan-made patch to enable online play in some games.
|
||||
+ Nintendont can be leveraged in either [WiiFlow Lite](wii-loaders#wiiflow-lite) or [USB Loader GX](wii-loaders#usb-loader-gx) for the loading of GameCube games.
|
||||
|
||||
#### User Interface
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Nintendont uses a user interface that is mainly controllable and navigable using a gamepad.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Properly Launching Games
|
||||
|
||||
Games in Nintendont have to be launched from an external device with a specific folder structure, with the usage of a game ID. Game IDs can be found on [GameTDB](https://www.gametdb.com).<br> The expected structure for single disc games is as follows:<br>
|
||||
```
|
||||
💾SD/USB:
|
||||
┗ 📂games
|
||||
┗ 📂GameName [gameID]
|
||||
┗ 📜game.iso or 📜game.ciso
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The expected structure for multi disc games is as follows:<br>
|
||||
```
|
||||
💾SD/USB:
|
||||
┗ 📂games
|
||||
┗ 📂GameName [gameID]
|
||||
┣ 📜game.iso or 📜game.ciso
|
||||
┗ 📜disc2.iso or 📜disc2.ciso
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Here is an example using The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker on a USB hard drive:<br>
|
||||
```
|
||||
💾SD/USB:
|
||||
┗ 📂games
|
||||
┗ 📂The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker [GZLE01]
|
||||
┗ 📜game.iso or 📜game.ciso
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### BIOS Setup
|
||||
|
||||
You can use an original GameCube BIOS in Nintendont if you have legally obtained one.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Rename the BIOS file `iplusa.bin`/`ipljap.bin`/`iplpal.bin` based on its region.
|
||||
1. Copy it to the root of the storage device where your GameCube games are on.
|
||||
1. Go into Nintendont settings and verify that `Skip IPL` is turned OFF.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Using a HID USB controller with Nintendont
|
||||
|
||||
By default, Nintendont selects a controller configuration from an internal list of already mapped controllers. If yours does not automatically work, make sure to check the supported controller list in the article at the top of the page. If you still want to check anyway, you can use [HIDTest](https://oscwii.org/library/app/HIDTest) to determine whether or not your controller will be detected and work with Nintendont.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Button combinations for Nintendont in-game
|
||||
|
||||
Restart: Resets the game and returns to game's title screen.<br> Shutdown: Exits nintendont and returns to the loader.<br>
|
||||
|
||||
Some games may have native button combinations to reset.
|
||||
|
||||
**GameCube Controller:**<br> Restart: R+Z+Start<br> Shutdown: R+Z+B+Down (D-pad)
|
||||
|
||||
**Wiimote + Nunchuck:**<br> Shutdown: HOME button on the Wiimote
|
||||
|
||||
**HID-USB controller or adapter:**<br> You can define the Shutdown button's combination yourself.<br> The Power button is defined in the controller.ini or in the correct controllers/PID_VID.ini file used by your gamepad.<br> Most commonly used combo with default HID settings:<br> Shutdown: L+R+Z+Start

{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
|
||||
|
||||
This is a quick start guide on how to use Riivolution, an on-the-fly disk patcher for the Wii that is used to play Wii game mods.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to use Riivolution on a Wii mini, a WiFi card must be soldered and Wii IOSes must be installed.
|
||||
{: .notice--warning}
|
||||
|
||||
Riivolution requires a working disk drive and a clean physical copy of the disk the desired mod is for. Scratched disks may or may not work very well or at all.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
* A Wii
|
||||
* A USB drive or SD Card
|
||||
* The files for your desired mod
|
||||
* A clean physical copy of the disk the mod is for
|
||||
* A working disk drive
|
||||
* [Riivolution](https://oscwii.org/library/app/riivolution)
|
||||
|
||||
### Preparing the files
|
||||
|
||||
1. Extract Riivolution and put it in the `apps` folder on your SD card or USB drive.
|
||||
1. Extract your mod files according to the diagram below to the SD or USB drive. Depending on the mod you downloaded, it may or may not already come properly structured for you.
|
||||
1. Insert your SD card and/or USB drive into your Wii and launch Riivolution from the Homebrew Channel.
|
||||
1. Insert the disk into the Wii.
|
||||
+ Optional step: you can install the official riivolution forwarder channel to the Wii menu by selecting the install option to the right. This negates the need for having to launch the homebrew channel every time you want to launch riivolution.
|
||||
1. Enable the mod and select Launch. Depending on the mod, you may have different options for it.
|
||||
|
||||
Pay attention to the region your mod is meant for. NTSC is for U.S and Japan, and PAL is for Europe and Korea.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
### File Structure
|
||||
|
||||
Every Riivolution mod is different, and depending on which mod you choose, it may include more or less files than shown in this diagram.
|
||||

title: "USB Loaders"
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
|
||||
|
||||
This guide introduces USB loaders on the Wii. They can be primarily used to load game backups that were dumped from a retail game disc. Depending on the loader, there may also be extensions to allow it to function as a frontend for non-Wii games as well. The two most commonly used loaders are USB Loader GX and WiiFlow Lite (a regularly updated mod of the original WiiFlow) - one loader may work better for you than the other, so it's worth trying both out.
|
||||
|
||||
**Note about Configurable USB Loader:**<br> Due to the age and lack of support for Configurable USB Loader (last update was in 2011), this guide does not provide dedicated installation instructions. If enough demand is there, it may be added in the future.
|
||||
{: .notice--warning}
|
||||
|
||||
In order for a USB loader to function properly, you must have the correct cIOS installed. Please check [this](cios) guide for instructions if you are on Wii, and [this](cios-mini) guide if you are on Wii mini.
|
||||
{: .notice--warning}
|
||||
|
||||
To play games, you are advised to use a large SD card or an external hard drive, flash drives are very sporadic in functionality. See [storage FAQ](faq).
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
Forwarders to open these loaders on the Wii Menu can be found on the Open Shop Channel for [WiiFlow Lite](https://oscwii.org/library/app/wiiflow_channel_installer) or on the official SourceForge page for [USB Loader GX](https://sourceforge.net/projects/usbloadergx/files/Releases/Forwarders/USB%20Loader%20GX-UNEO_Forwarder_5_1_AHBPROT.wad/download). You can install either with [YAWM ModMii Edition](yawmme).

### WiiFlow Lite
|
||||
|
||||
#### Requirements
|
||||
+ A modded Wii
|
||||
+ Fully installed [cIOS](cios)
|
||||
+ [WiiFlow](https://oscwii.org/library/app/wiiflow)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Installation
|
||||
|
||||
1. Ensure that your Wii already has cIOS 248-251 installed - this can be checked with applications like [SysChecker](syscheck) or d2x cIOS installer.
|
||||
1. Download WiiFlow and install it on your SD Card or USB device.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Quick Start Guide
|
||||
|
||||
##### General
|
||||
|
||||
+ WiiFlow by default is set to only find games on the SD card. This can be changed by going to `Settings > Startup Settings` to then turn off `Mount SD Only`.
|
||||
+ You can toggle the current view in Wiiflow between plugins, games, homebrew, and Wii channels by clicking the button to the left of `Home`, on the bottom right.
|
||||
+ You can download game covers by going to `Settings` > `Download Covers and Banners`.
|
||||
|
||||
##### User Interface
|
||||
|
||||
When WiiFlow detects games, they are displayed in flow view.<br> When you click on a game, you are given these options:
|
||||
+ Star - Adds game to favorites.
|
||||
+ Bookshelf - Adds the game to 1 of 6 categories of your choosing.
|
||||
+ Gears - Opens the settings menu for that game - these settings are unique to that game and that game only.
|
||||
+ X - Deletes the game from the USB drive or SD card.
|
||||
|
||||
When you bring the cursor to the bottom of the screen while in flow view, there are 6 icons:
|
||||
+ Bookshelf - View the games that are sorted in the categories you chose.
|
||||
+ Star - View games you favorited.
|
||||
+ Gears - Opens WiiFlow Settings.
|
||||
+ Game Type - Toggles between different types of apps/games. The logo changes depending on what game type you have selected.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### USB Loader GX
|
||||
|
||||
#### Requirements
|
||||
+ A modded Wii
|
||||
+ Fully installed [cIOS](cios)
|
||||
+ [USB Loader GX](https://oscwii.org/library/app/usbloader_gx)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Installation
|
||||
|
||||
1. Ensure that your Wii already has cIOS 248-251 installed - this can be checked with applications like [SysChecker](syscheck) or d2x cIOS installer.
|
||||
1. Download USB Loader GX and install it on your SD Card or USB device.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Quick Start Guide
|
||||
|
||||
##### General
|
||||
|
||||
+ If USB Loader GX says "Waiting for HDD..." with a 20 second countdown, it is very likely that it cannot detect your USB device. Try to exit out of the app, plug your USB device into the opposite port that it is currently in, and relaunch it.
|
||||
+ You can press the 1 Button on your Wii Remote to open up a dialog to download game covers and artwork from [GameTDB](https://gametdb.com/). It might take a while to download the game covers and artwork, depending the amount of games you have.
|
||||
+ GameCube or "custom" Wii games may or may not have a custom banner that USB Loader GX uses. To enable this, find or write `CustomBannersURL = http://banner.rc24.xyz/` in `config/GXGlobal.cfg` on the drive you installed the app on. Then, you can use the `Custom Banner` download by pressing the 1 Button on your Wii Remote.
|
||||
|
||||
##### User Interface
|
||||
|
||||
On the middle of the bottom of the screen, you can see how much space is free on your USB drive and how many games you have.
|
||||
|
||||
These are the functions of the buttons found on the bar at the top of the screen, from left to right:
|
||||
|
||||
+ Star - Shows games that you have marked as "favorites".
|
||||
+ Search - Lets you search for games by name.
|
||||
+ Sort - Cycles through sorting methods for games.
|
||||
+ Platform - Sorts games by platform.
|
||||
+ Category - Sorts games by category.
|
||||
+ List - Shows games in a list view.
|
||||
+ Multi-Cover View - Shows games in a multi-cover view.
|
||||
+ Cover Carousel View - Shows games in a carousel view.
|
||||
+ Wii Menu View - Shows games in a Wii Menu view.
|
||||
+ Parental Control - Locks USB Loader GX.
|
||||
+ Disc - Loads a game that is in the disc drive.
|
||||
|
||||
There are also other buttons at the bottom of the screen:
|
||||
|
||||
+ (+) Icon - "Install" a game, i.e. loading it from disc and dumping it to your preset storage device.
|
||||
+ Gears - Global settings for USB Loader GX.
|
||||
+ SD card - Remount the SD card.
|
||||

||||
+ Power Button - Turn off your Wii.
|
||||
|
||||
### Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
Although the majority of games should work as-is with default settings, some may require using a specific cIOS to function, or to utilize certain features within the game. Examples include:
|
||||
|
||||
+ Using a keyboard in Animal Crossing: City Folk.
|
||||
+ Running SpongeBob's Boating Bash.
|
||||
|
||||
A more comprehensive (although still incomplete) list can be found [here](https://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/Wii_cIOS_base_Compatibility_List).
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
1. Select `Game Load`.
|
||||
1. Scroll down to `Game IOS`.
|
||||
1. Enter the IOS slot to use.
|
||||
+ Try using 250 or 251, if 249 doesn't work.
|
||||
1. Press OK and try to load the game.
|
||||
|
||||
#### WiiFlow Lite
|
||||
1. Select the game that isn't working.

|
||||
|
||||

{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
|
||||
|
||||
Wii Backup Manager is a program to copy Wii games from your computer to a USB drive so you can play the games on your Wii. It also can download game covers from [GameTDB](https://gametdb.com/) and can be used to list what games you have. This tutorial will tell you how to copy over games from your computer to your USB drive. The other features are able to be used in the easy-to-use interface.

For storing multiple games, we recommend an external hard drive for your Wii. We will refer to it as a "USB drive" in this guide. Most of those found on the market should work fine.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
A flash drive is not recommended, as they are small and may vary in behavior even between the same product. <br> As an alternative, you may simply use an SD card, but the Wii's SD card slot is slow.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
Make sure your USB drive is formatted as FAT32. Do not format it as other types such as exFAT, extFS. <br> You may format it as NTFS, but it won't work with a majority of apps (eg. The Homebrew Channel, Nintendont)

{% include toc title="Sumário" %}
|
||||
|
||||
Nintendont is a Wii-mode homebrew application that can be used to play GameCube games, as well as Triforce arcade dumps. Nintendont is an interesting app in that it is like a hybrid between an emulator and a virtual machine - while still running GameCube games near exactly at native quality and performance. Further info can be read [here](https://gbatemp.net/threads/nintendont.349258/).
|
||||
|
||||
To play games, you are advised to use a large SD card or an external hard drive, flash drives are very sporadic in functionality. See [storage FAQ](faq).
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
Make sure your storage device is formatted as FAT32. Do not format it to other file systems like NTFS, exFAT, or WBFS.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
### Requisitos
|
||||
|
||||
* A modded Wii
|
||||
* An SD card or USB device
|
||||
* [Nintendont](https://oscwii.org/library/app/Nintendont)
|
||||
|
||||
### Installation
|
||||
1. Download Nintendont and extract it to the root of your SD card or USB drive.
|
||||
1. Insert your SD card or USB device into your Wii, and launch Nintendont from the Homebrew Channel.
|
||||
|
||||
### Quick Start Guide
|
||||
|
||||
#### Key Features
|
||||
|
||||
+ You can use various input devices to play GameCube games. These include GameCube controllers (even via a USB adapter), Wiimotes, Classic Controllers, the Konga, HID USB controllers, Bluetooth controllers, and potentially more.
|
||||
+ Nintendont has support for virtual memory cards that are saved to an external storage device, from sizes of 51 blocks up to 1019 blocks. Despite this, the recommended max size is 251 blocks per virtual card for maximum compatibility.
|
||||
+ You can use a fan-made patch to enable online play in some games.
|
||||
+ Nintendont pode ser aproveitado tanto no [WiiFlow Lite](wii-loaders#wiiflow-lite) ou no [USB Loader GX](wii-loaders#usb-loader-gx) para o carregamento de jogos GameCube.
|
||||
|
||||
#### User Interface
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Nintendont uses a user interface that is mainly controllable and navigable using a gamepad.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Properly Launching Games
|
||||
|
||||
Games in Nintendont have to be launched from an external device with a specific folder structure, with the usage of a game ID. Game IDs can be found on [GameTDB](https://www.gametdb.com).<br> The expected structure for single disc games is as follows:<br>
|
||||
```
|
||||
💾SD/USB:
|
||||
┗ 📂games
|
||||
┗ 📂GameName [gameID]
|
||||
┗ 📜game.iso or 📜game.ciso
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The expected structure for multi disc games is as follows:<br>
|
||||
```
|
||||
💾SD/USB:
|
||||
┗ 📂games
|
||||
┗ 📂GameName [gameID]
|
||||
┣ 📜game.iso or 📜game.ciso
|
||||
┗ 📜disc2.iso or 📜disc2.ciso
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Here is an example using The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker on a USB hard drive:<br>
|
||||
```
|
||||
💾SD/USB:
|
||||
┗ 📂games
|
||||
┗ 📂The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker [GZLE01]
|
||||
┗ 📜game.iso or 📜game.ciso
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### BIOS Setup
|
||||
|
||||
You can use an original GameCube BIOS in Nintendont if you have legally obtained one.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Rename the BIOS file `iplusa.bin`/`ipljap.bin`/`iplpal.bin` based on its region.
|
||||
1. Copy it to the root of the storage device where your GameCube games are on.
|
||||
1. Go into Nintendont settings and verify that `Skip IPL` is turned OFF.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Using a HID USB controller with Nintendont
|
||||
|
||||
By default, Nintendont selects a controller configuration from an internal list of already mapped controllers. If yours does not automatically work, make sure to check the supported controller list in the article at the top of the page. If you still want to check anyway, you can use [HIDTest](https://oscwii.org/library/app/HIDTest) to determine whether or not your controller will be detected and work with Nintendont.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Button combinations for Nintendont in-game
|
||||
|
||||
Restart: Resets the game and returns to game's title screen.<br> Shutdown: Exits nintendont and returns to the loader.<br>
|
||||
|
||||
Some games may have native button combinations to reset.
|
||||
|
||||
**GameCube Controller:**<br> Restart: R+Z+Start<br> Shutdown: R+Z+B+Down (D-pad)
|
||||
|
||||
**Wiimote + Nunchuck:**<br> Shutdown: HOME button on the Wiimote
|
||||
|
||||
**HID-USB controller or adapter:**<br> You can define the Shutdown button's combination yourself.<br> The Power button is defined in the controller.ini or in the correct controllers/PID_VID.ini file used by your gamepad.<br> Most commonly used combo with default HID settings:<br> Shutdown: L+R+Z+Start

||||
* Um Wii
|
||||
* A USB drive or SD Card
|
||||
* The files for your desired mod
|
||||
* A clean physical copy of the disk the mod is for
|
||||
* A working disk drive
|
||||
* [Riivolution](https://oscwii.org/library/app/riivolution)
|
||||
|
||||
### Preparing the files
|
||||
|
||||
1. Extract Riivolution and put it in the `apps` folder on your SD card or USB drive.
|
||||
1. Extract your mod files according to the diagram below to the SD or USB drive. Depending on the mod you downloaded, it may or may not already come properly structured for you.
|
||||
1. Insert your SD card and/or USB drive into your Wii and launch Riivolution from the Homebrew Channel.
|
||||
1. Insert the disk into the Wii.
|
||||
+ Optional step: you can install the official riivolution forwarder channel to the Wii menu by selecting the install option to the right. This negates the need for having to launch the homebrew channel every time you want to launch riivolution.
|
||||
1. Enable the mod and select Launch. Depending on the mod, you may have different options for it.
|
||||
|
||||
Pay attention to the region your mod is meant for. NTSC is for U.S and Japan, and PAL is for Europe and Korea.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
### File Structure
|
||||
|
||||
Every Riivolution mod is different, and depending on which mod you choose, it may include more or less files than shown in this diagram.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
Do not get confused with the actual Riivolution app, and the Riivolution folder that goes on the root.

title: "Loaders USB"
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
{% include toc title="Sumário" %}
|
||||
|
||||
Este guia introduz Loaders USB no Wii. Eles podem ser usados principalmente para carregar os backups de jogos que foram dumpados de um disco de jogo. Dependendo do Loader, pode haver também extensões que permitam que ele funcione como uma interface para jogos que não sejam do Wii. Os dois loaders mais comumente usados são o USB Loader GX e WiiFlow Lite (um mod atualizado regularmente do WiiFlow) - um loader pode funcionar melhor para você do que o outro, então vale a pena tentar ambas.
|
||||
|
||||
**Nota sobre o Configurable USB Loader:**<br> Devido à idade e falta de suporte para o Configurable USB Loader (a última atualização foi em 2011), este guia não fornece instruções de instalação dedicadas. Se houver demanda suficiente, ele poderá ser acrescentado no futuro.
|
||||
{: .notice--warning}
|
||||
|
||||
Para que um Loader USB funcione corretamente, você deve ter as cIOS instalado corretamente. Por favor, consulte [este guia](cios) para obter instruções caso você esteja no Wii, e [este guia](cios-mini) caso você esteja no Wii mini.
|
||||
{: .notice--warning}
|
||||
|
||||
Para jogar jogos, é aconselhável usar um cartão SD grande ou um HD externo, Pen Drives são muito esporádicos em funcionalidade. Consulte [FAQ de armazenamento](faq).
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
Atalhos (Forwarders) para abrir esses Loaders no Menu Wii podem ser encontrados no Open Shop Channel para [WiiFlow Lite](https://oscwii.org/library/app/wiiflow_channel_installer) ou na página oficial do SourceForge para [USB Loader GX](https://sourceforge.net/projects/usbloadergx/files/Releases/Forwarders/USB%20Loader%20GX-UNEO_Forwarder_5_1_AHBPROT.wad/download). Você pode instalar um com o [YAWM ModMii Edition](yawmme).

|
||||
+ Um Wii desbloqueado
|
||||
+ [cIOS](cios) totalmente instaladas
|
||||
+ [WiiFlow](https://oscwii.org/library/app/wiiflow)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Instalação

|
||||
|
||||
#### Quick Start Guide
|
||||
|
||||

+ WiiFlow by default is set to only find games on the SD card. This can be changed by going to `Settings > Startup Settings` to then turn off `Mount SD Only`.
|
||||
+ You can toggle the current view in Wiiflow between plugins, games, homebrew, and Wii channels by clicking the button to the left of `Home`, on the bottom right.
|
||||
+ You can download game covers by going to `Settings` > `Download Covers and Banners`.
|
||||
|
||||

||||
|
||||
When WiiFlow detects games, they are displayed in flow view.<br> When you click on a game, you are given these options:
|
||||
+ Star - Adds game to favorites.
|
||||
+ Bookshelf - Adds the game to 1 of 6 categories of your choosing.
|
||||
+ Gears - Opens the settings menu for that game - these settings are unique to that game and that game only.
|
||||
+ X - Deletes the game from the USB drive or SD card.
|
||||
|
||||
When you bring the cursor to the bottom of the screen while in flow view, there are 6 icons:

|
||||
+ Star - View games you favorited.
|
||||

### USB Loader GX
|
||||
|
||||
#### Requisitos
|
||||
+ A modded Wii
|
||||
+ [cIOS](cios) totalmente instaladas
|
||||
+ [USB Loader GX](https://oscwii.org/library/app/usbloader_gx)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Installation
|
||||
|
||||
1. Ensure that your Wii already has cIOS 248-251 installed - this can be checked with applications like [SysChecker](syscheck) or d2x cIOS installer.
|
||||
1. Download USB Loader GX and install it on your SD Card or USB device.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Quick Start Guide
|
||||
|
||||
##### General
|
||||
|
||||
+ If USB Loader GX says "Waiting for HDD..." with a 20 second countdown, it is very likely that it cannot detect your USB device. Try to exit out of the app, plug your USB device into the opposite port that it is currently in, and relaunch it.
|
||||
+ You can press the 1 Button on your Wii Remote to open up a dialog to download game covers and artwork from [GameTDB](https://gametdb.com/). It might take a while to download the game covers and artwork, depending the amount of games you have.
|
||||
+ GameCube or "custom" Wii games may or may not have a custom banner that USB Loader GX uses. To enable this, find or write `CustomBannersURL = http://banner.rc24.xyz/` in `config/GXGlobal.cfg` on the drive you installed the app on. Then, you can use the `Custom Banner` download by pressing the 1 Button on your Wii Remote.
|
||||
|
||||
##### User Interface
|
||||
|
||||
On the middle of the bottom of the screen, you can see how much space is free on your USB drive and how many games you have.

|
||||
|
||||
+ Star - Shows games that you have marked as "favorites".
|
||||
+ Search - Lets you search for games by name.
|
||||

|
||||
+ Parental Control - Locks USB Loader GX.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
There are also other buttons at the bottom of the screen:
|
||||
|
||||
+ (+) Icon - "Install" a game, i.e. loading it from disc and dumping it to your preset storage device.
|
||||

|
||||
+ Power Button - Turn off your Wii.
|
||||
|
||||
### Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
Although the majority of games should work as-is with default settings, some may require using a specific cIOS to function, or to utilize certain features within the game. Examples include:
|
||||
|
||||
+ Using a keyboard in Animal Crossing: City Folk.
|
||||
+ Running SpongeBob's Boating Bash.
|
||||
|
||||
A more comprehensive (although still incomplete) list can be found [here](https://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/Wii_cIOS_base_Compatibility_List).
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
1. Select `Game Load`.
|
||||
1. Scroll down to `Game IOS`.
|
||||

|
||||
1. Press OK and try to load the game.
|
||||
|
||||
#### WiiFlow Lite
|
||||
1. Select the game that isn't working.
|
||||
1. Click the gear icon.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
Wii Backup Manager é um programa que lhe permite copiar jogos de Wii do seu computador para um armazenamento USB para que você possa jogá-los no seu Wii. Ele também pode baixar capas de jogos da [GameTDB](https://gametdb.com/) e pode ser usado para listar quais jogos você tem. Este tutorial irá lhe dizer como copiar os jogos do seu computador para armazenamento USB. As outras funções podem ser usadas na interface de uso fácil.
|
||||
|
||||
### Requisitos
|
||||
|
||||
* Um PC executando Windows
|
||||
* Um armazenamento USB ou cartão SD
|
||||
* [Wii Backup Manager](https://static.wiidatabase.de/Wii-Backup-Manager.zip)

Para armazenar vários jogos, é recomendado o uso de um armazenamento externo para seu Wii. Nós iremos nos referir a ele como "armazenamento USB" neste guia. A maioria encontrados no mercado deve funcionar normalmente.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
Drives de flash não são recomendados, por serem pequenos e poderem variar de comportamento mesmo entre o mesmo produto. <br> Como uma alternativa, você pode simplesmente usar um cartão SD, mas o slot de cartão SD do Wii é lento.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
Certifique-se de que seu armazenamento USB está formatado como FAT32. Não formate-o para outros tipos como exFAT ou extFS. <br> Você pode formatá-lo para NTFS, mas não vai funcionar com a maioria dos apps (ex. Homebrew Channel, Nintendont)

|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||

{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
|
||||
|
||||
Nintendont is a Wii-mode homebrew application that can be used to play GameCube games, as well as Triforce arcade dumps. Nintendont is an interesting app in that it is like a hybrid between an emulator and a virtual machine - while still running GameCube games near exactly at native quality and performance. Further info can be read [here](https://gbatemp.net/threads/nintendont.349258/).
|
||||
|
||||
To play games, you are advised to use a large SD card or an external hard drive, flash drives are very sporadic in functionality. See [storage FAQ](faq).
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
Make sure your storage device is formatted as FAT32. Do not format it to other file systems like NTFS, exFAT, or WBFS.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
### Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
* A modded Wii
|
||||
* An SD card or USB device
|
||||
* [Nintendont](https://oscwii.org/library/app/Nintendont)
|
||||
|
||||
### Installation
|
||||
1. Download Nintendont and extract it to the root of your SD card or USB drive.
|
||||
1. Insert your SD card or USB device into your Wii, and launch Nintendont from the Homebrew Channel.
|
||||
|
||||
### Quick Start Guide
|
||||
|
||||
#### Key Features
|
||||
|
||||
+ You can use various input devices to play GameCube games. These include GameCube controllers (even via a USB adapter), Wiimotes, Classic Controllers, the Konga, HID USB controllers, Bluetooth controllers, and potentially more.
|
||||
+ Nintendont has support for virtual memory cards that are saved to an external storage device, from sizes of 51 blocks up to 1019 blocks. Despite this, the recommended max size is 251 blocks per virtual card for maximum compatibility.
|
||||
+ You can use a fan-made patch to enable online play in some games.
|
||||
+ Nintendont can be leveraged in either [WiiFlow Lite](wii-loaders#wiiflow-lite) or [USB Loader GX](wii-loaders#usb-loader-gx) for the loading of GameCube games.
|
||||
|
||||
#### User Interface
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Nintendont uses a user interface that is mainly controllable and navigable using a gamepad.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Properly Launching Games
|
||||
|
||||
Games in Nintendont have to be launched from an external device with a specific folder structure, with the usage of a game ID. Game IDs can be found on [GameTDB](https://www.gametdb.com).<br> The expected structure for single disc games is as follows:<br>
|
||||
```
|
||||
💾SD/USB:
|
||||
┗ 📂games
|
||||
┗ 📂GameName [gameID]
|
||||
┗ 📜game.iso or 📜game.ciso
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The expected structure for multi disc games is as follows:<br>
|
||||
```
|
||||
💾SD/USB:
|
||||
┗ 📂games
|
||||
┗ 📂GameName [gameID]
|
||||
┣ 📜game.iso or 📜game.ciso
|
||||
┗ 📜disc2.iso or 📜disc2.ciso
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Here is an example using The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker on a USB hard drive:<br>
|
||||
```
|
||||
💾SD/USB:
|
||||
┗ 📂games
|
||||
┗ 📂The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker [GZLE01]
|
||||
┗ 📜game.iso or 📜game.ciso
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### BIOS Setup
|
||||
|
||||
You can use an original GameCube BIOS in Nintendont if you have legally obtained one.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Rename the BIOS file `iplusa.bin`/`ipljap.bin`/`iplpal.bin` based on its region.
|
||||
1. Copy it to the root of the storage device where your GameCube games are on.
|
||||
1. Go into Nintendont settings and verify that `Skip IPL` is turned OFF.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Using a HID USB controller with Nintendont
|
||||
|
||||
By default, Nintendont selects a controller configuration from an internal list of already mapped controllers. If yours does not automatically work, make sure to check the supported controller list in the article at the top of the page. If you still want to check anyway, you can use [HIDTest](https://oscwii.org/library/app/HIDTest) to determine whether or not your controller will be detected and work with Nintendont.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Button combinations for Nintendont in-game
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
This is a quick start guide on how to use Riivolution, an on-the-fly disk patcher for the Wii that is used to play Wii game mods.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to use Riivolution on a Wii mini, a WiFi card must be soldered and Wii IOSes must be installed.
|
||||
{: .notice--warning}
|
||||
|
||||
Riivolution requires a working disk drive and a clean physical copy of the disk the desired mod is for. Scratched disks may or may not work very well or at all.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
* A Wii
|
||||
* A USB drive or SD Card
|
||||
* The files for your desired mod
|
||||
* A clean physical copy of the disk the mod is for
|
||||
* A working disk drive
|
||||
* [Riivolution](https://oscwii.org/library/app/riivolution)
|
||||
|
||||
### Preparing the files
|
||||
|
||||
1. Extract Riivolution and put it in the `apps` folder on your SD card or USB drive.
|
||||
1. Extract your mod files according to the diagram below to the SD or USB drive. Depending on the mod you downloaded, it may or may not already come properly structured for you.
|
||||
1. Insert your SD card and/or USB drive into your Wii and launch Riivolution from the Homebrew Channel.
|
||||
1. Insert the disk into the Wii.
|
||||
+ Optional step: you can install the official riivolution forwarder channel to the Wii menu by selecting the install option to the right. This negates the need for having to launch the homebrew channel every time you want to launch riivolution.
|
||||
1. Enable the mod and select Launch. Depending on the mod, you may have different options for it.
|
||||
|
||||
Pay attention to the region your mod is meant for. NTSC is for U.S and Japan, and PAL is for Europe and Korea.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
### File Structure
|
||||
|
||||
Every Riivolution mod is different, and depending on which mod you choose, it may include more or less files than shown in this diagram.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
Do not get confused with the actual Riivolution app, and the Riivolution folder that goes on the root.

title: "USB Loaders"
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
|
||||
|
||||
This guide introduces USB loaders on the Wii. They can be primarily used to load game backups that were dumped from a retail game disc. Depending on the loader, there may also be extensions to allow it to function as a frontend for non-Wii games as well. The two most commonly used loaders are USB Loader GX and WiiFlow Lite (a regularly updated mod of the original WiiFlow) - one loader may work better for you than the other, so it's worth trying both out.
|
||||
|
||||
**Note about Configurable USB Loader:**<br> Due to the age and lack of support for Configurable USB Loader (last update was in 2011), this guide does not provide dedicated installation instructions. If enough demand is there, it may be added in the future.
|
||||
{: .notice--warning}
|
||||
|
||||
In order for a USB loader to function properly, you must have the correct cIOS installed. Please check [this](cios) guide for instructions if you are on Wii, and [this](cios-mini) guide if you are on Wii mini.
|
||||
{: .notice--warning}
|
||||
|
||||
To play games, you are advised to use a large SD card or an external hard drive, flash drives are very sporadic in functionality. See [storage FAQ](faq).
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
Forwarders to open these loaders on the Wii Menu can be found on the Open Shop Channel for [WiiFlow Lite](https://oscwii.org/library/app/wiiflow_channel_installer) or on the official SourceForge page for [USB Loader GX](https://sourceforge.net/projects/usbloadergx/files/Releases/Forwarders/USB%20Loader%20GX-UNEO_Forwarder_5_1_AHBPROT.wad/download). You can install either with [YAWM ModMii Edition](yawmme).

|
||||
|
||||
#### Requirements
|
||||
+ A modded Wii
|
||||
+ Fully installed [cIOS](cios)
|
||||
+ [WiiFlow](https://oscwii.org/library/app/wiiflow)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Installation
|
||||
|
||||
1. Ensure that your Wii already has cIOS 248-251 installed - this can be checked with applications like [SysChecker](syscheck) or d2x cIOS installer.
|
||||
1. Download WiiFlow and install it on your SD Card or USB device.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Quick Start Guide
|
||||
|
||||
##### General
|
||||
|
||||
+ WiiFlow by default is set to only find games on the SD card. This can be changed by going to `Settings > Startup Settings` to then turn off `Mount SD Only`.
|
||||
+ You can toggle the current view in Wiiflow between plugins, games, homebrew, and Wii channels by clicking the button to the left of `Home`, on the bottom right.
|
||||
+ You can download game covers by going to `Settings` > `Download Covers and Banners`.
|
||||
|
||||
##### User Interface
|
||||
|
||||
When WiiFlow detects games, they are displayed in flow view.<br> When you click on a game, you are given these options:
|
||||
+ Star - Adds game to favorites.
|
||||
+ Bookshelf - Adds the game to 1 of 6 categories of your choosing.
|
||||
+ Gears - Opens the settings menu for that game - these settings are unique to that game and that game only.
|
||||
+ X - Deletes the game from the USB drive or SD card.
|
||||
|
||||
When you bring the cursor to the bottom of the screen while in flow view, there are 6 icons:
|
||||
+ Bookshelf - View the games that are sorted in the categories you chose.
|
||||
+ Star - View games you favorited.
|
||||
+ Gears - Opens WiiFlow Settings.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### USB Loader GX
|
||||
|
||||
#### Requirements
|
||||
+ A modded Wii
|
||||
+ Fully installed [cIOS](cios)
|
||||
+ [USB Loader GX](https://oscwii.org/library/app/usbloader_gx)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Installation
|
||||
|
||||
1. Ensure that your Wii already has cIOS 248-251 installed - this can be checked with applications like [SysChecker](syscheck) or d2x cIOS installer.
|
||||
1. Download USB Loader GX and install it on your SD Card or USB device.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Quick Start Guide
|
||||
|
||||
##### General
|
||||
|
||||
+ If USB Loader GX says "Waiting for HDD..." with a 20 second countdown, it is very likely that it cannot detect your USB device. Try to exit out of the app, plug your USB device into the opposite port that it is currently in, and relaunch it.
|
||||
+ You can press the 1 Button on your Wii Remote to open up a dialog to download game covers and artwork from [GameTDB](https://gametdb.com/). It might take a while to download the game covers and artwork, depending the amount of games you have.
|
||||
+ GameCube or "custom" Wii games may or may not have a custom banner that USB Loader GX uses. To enable this, find or write `CustomBannersURL = http://banner.rc24.xyz/` in `config/GXGlobal.cfg` on the drive you installed the app on. Then, you can use the `Custom Banner` download by pressing the 1 Button on your Wii Remote.
|
||||
|
||||
##### User Interface
|
||||
|
||||
On the middle of the bottom of the screen, you can see how much space is free on your USB drive and how many games you have.
|
||||
|
||||
These are the functions of the buttons found on the bar at the top of the screen, from left to right:
|
||||
|
||||
+ Star - Shows games that you have marked as "favorites".
|
||||
+ Search - Lets you search for games by name.
|
||||
+ Sort - Cycles through sorting methods for games.
|
||||
+ Platform - Sorts games by platform.
|
||||
+ Category - Sorts games by category.
|
||||
+ List - Shows games in a list view.
|
||||
+ Multi-Cover View - Shows games in a multi-cover view.
|
||||
+ Cover Carousel View - Shows games in a carousel view.
|
||||
+ Wii Menu View - Shows games in a Wii Menu view.
|
||||
+ Parental Control - Locks USB Loader GX.
|
||||
+ Disc - Loads a game that is in the disc drive.
|
||||
|
||||
There are also other buttons at the bottom of the screen:
|
||||
|
||||
+ (+) Icon - "Install" a game, i.e. loading it from disc and dumping it to your preset storage device.
|
||||
+ Gears - Global settings for USB Loader GX.
|
||||
+ SD card - Remount the SD card.
|
||||
+ Homebrew - Load homebrew apps.
|
||||

|
||||
+ Power Button - Turn off your Wii.
|
||||
|
||||
### Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
Although the majority of games should work as-is with default settings, some may require using a specific cIOS to function, or to utilize certain features within the game. Examples include:
|
||||
|
||||
+ Using a keyboard in Animal Crossing: City Folk.
|
||||
+ Running SpongeBob's Boating Bash.
|
||||
|
||||
A more comprehensive (although still incomplete) list can be found [here](https://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/Wii_cIOS_base_Compatibility_List).
|
||||
|
||||
To change the cIOS used for a specific game, follow the instructions specific to your USB loader:
|
||||
|
||||
#### USB Loader GX
|
||||
1. Select the game that isn't working.
|
||||
1. Click Settings.
|
||||
1. Select `Game Load`.
|
||||
1. Scroll down to `Game IOS`.
|
||||
1. Enter the IOS slot to use.
|
||||
+ Try using 250 or 251, if 249 doesn't work.
|
||||
1. Press OK and try to load the game.
|
||||
|
||||
#### WiiFlow Lite
|
||||
1. Select the game that isn't working.
|
||||
1. Click the gear icon.
|
||||
1. Go to cIOS and use the arrows to select the IOS slot to use.
|
||||
+ Try using 250 or 251, if 249 doesn't work.
|
||||
1. Press Save and try to load the game.
|
||||
|
||||

{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
|
||||
|
||||
Wii Backup Manager is a program to copy Wii games from your computer to a USB drive so you can play the games on your Wii. It also can download game covers from [GameTDB](https://gametdb.com/) and can be used to list what games you have. This tutorial will tell you how to copy over games from your computer to your USB drive. The other features are able to be used in the easy-to-use interface.

* A USB drive or SD card
|
||||
* [Wii Backup Manager](https://static.wiidatabase.de/Wii-Backup-Manager.zip)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
We recommend you copy games over with [Witgui](https://desairem.com/wordpress/category/witgui-download/) if you use macOS, or [Wii Backup Fusion](https://github.com/larsenv/Wii-Backup-Fusion) for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Wii Backup Manager is only compatible with Windows.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|

For storing multiple games, we recommend an external hard drive for your Wii. We will refer to it as a "USB drive" in this guide. Most of those found on the market should work fine.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
A flash drive is not recommended, as they are small and may vary in behavior even between the same product. <br> As an alternative, you may simply use an SD card, but the Wii's SD card slot is slow.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
Make sure your USB drive is formatted as FAT32. Do not format it as other types such as exFAT, extFS. <br> You may format it as NTFS, but it won't work with a majority of apps (eg. The Homebrew Channel, Nintendont)

Nintendont is a Wii-mode homebrew application that can be used to play GameCube games, as well as Triforce arcade dumps. Nintendont is an interesting app in that it is like a hybrid between an emulator and a virtual machine - while still running GameCube games near exactly at native quality and performance. Further info can be read [here](https://gbatemp.net/threads/nintendont.349258/).
|
||||
|

### Instrumente necesare
|
||||
|
||||
* A modded Wii
|
||||
* An SD card or USB device
|
||||
* [Nintendont](https://oscwii.org/library/app/Nintendont)
|
||||
|
||||
### Installation
|
||||
1. Download Nintendont and extract it to the root of your SD card or USB drive.
|
||||
1. Insert your SD card or USB device into your Wii, and launch Nintendont from the Homebrew Channel.
|
||||
|
||||
### Quick Start Guide
|
||||
|
||||
#### Key Features
|
||||
|
||||
+ You can use various input devices to play GameCube games. These include GameCube controllers (even via a USB adapter), Wiimotes, Classic Controllers, the Konga, HID USB controllers, Bluetooth controllers, and potentially more.
|
||||
+ Nintendont has support for virtual memory cards that are saved to an external storage device, from sizes of 51 blocks up to 1019 blocks. Despite this, the recommended max size is 251 blocks per virtual card for maximum compatibility.
|
||||
+ You can use a fan-made patch to enable online play in some games.
|
||||
+ Nintendont can be leveraged in either [WiiFlow Lite](wii-loaders#wiiflow-lite) or [USB Loader GX](wii-loaders#usb-loader-gx) for the loading of GameCube games.
|
||||
|
||||
#### User Interface
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Nintendont uses a user interface that is mainly controllable and navigable using a gamepad.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Properly Launching Games
|
||||
|
||||
Games in Nintendont have to be launched from an external device with a specific folder structure, with the usage of a game ID. Game IDs can be found on [GameTDB](https://www.gametdb.com).<br> The expected structure for single disc games is as follows:<br>
|
||||
```
|
||||
💾SD/USB:
|
||||
┗ 📂games
|
||||
┗ 📂GameName [gameID]
|
||||
┗ 📜game.iso or 📜game.ciso
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The expected structure for multi disc games is as follows:<br>
|
||||
```
|
||||
💾SD/USB:
|
||||
┗ 📂games
|
||||
┗ 📂GameName [gameID]
|
||||
┣ 📜game.iso or 📜game.ciso

```
|
||||
|
||||
Here is an example using The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker on a USB hard drive:<br>
|
||||
```
|
||||
💾SD/USB:
|
||||
┗ 📂games
|
||||
┗ 📂The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker [GZLE01]
|
||||
┗ 📜game.iso or 📜game.ciso
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### BIOS Setup
|
||||
|
||||
You can use an original GameCube BIOS in Nintendont if you have legally obtained one.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Rename the BIOS file `iplusa.bin`/`ipljap.bin`/`iplpal.bin` based on its region.
|
||||
1. Copy it to the root of the storage device where your GameCube games are on.
|
||||
1. Go into Nintendont settings and verify that `Skip IPL` is turned OFF.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Using a HID USB controller with Nintendont
|
||||
|
||||
By default, Nintendont selects a controller configuration from an internal list of already mapped controllers. If yours does not automatically work, make sure to check the supported controller list in the article at the top of the page. If you still want to check anyway, you can use [HIDTest](https://oscwii.org/library/app/HIDTest) to determine whether or not your controller will be detected and work with Nintendont.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Button combinations for Nintendont in-game
|
||||
|
||||
Restart: Resets the game and returns to game's title screen.<br> Shutdown: Exits nintendont and returns to the loader.<br>
|
||||
|
||||
Some games may have native button combinations to reset.
|
||||
|
||||
**GameCube Controller:**<br> Restart: R+Z+Start<br> Shutdown: R+Z+B+Down (D-pad)
|
||||
|
||||
**Wiimote + Nunchuck:**<br> Shutdown: HOME button on the Wiimote
|
||||
|
||||
**HID-USB controller or adapter:**<br> You can define the Shutdown button's combination yourself.<br> The Power button is defined in the controller.ini or in the correct controllers/PID_VID.ini file used by your gamepad.<br> Most commonly used combo with default HID settings:<br> Shutdown: L+R+Z+Start

{% include toc title="Tabel de Conținut" %}
|
||||
|
||||
This is a quick start guide on how to use Riivolution, an on-the-fly disk patcher for the Wii that is used to play Wii game mods.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to use Riivolution on a Wii mini, a WiFi card must be soldered and Wii IOSes must be installed.
|
||||
{: .notice--warning}
|
||||
|
||||
Riivolution requires a working disk drive and a clean physical copy of the disk the desired mod is for. Scratched disks may or may not work very well or at all.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Instrumente necesare
|
||||
|
||||
* A Wii
|
||||
* Un stick USB sau un card SD
|
||||
* The files for your desired mod
|
||||
* A clean physical copy of the disk the mod is for
|
||||
* A working disk drive
|
||||
* [Riivolution](https://oscwii.org/library/app/riivolution)
|
||||
|
||||
### Preparing the files
|
||||
|
||||
1. Extract Riivolution and put it in the `apps` folder on your SD card or USB drive.
|
||||
1. Extract your mod files according to the diagram below to the SD or USB drive. Depending on the mod you downloaded, it may or may not already come properly structured for you.
|
||||
1. Insert your SD card and/or USB drive into your Wii and launch Riivolution from the Homebrew Channel.
|
||||
1. Insert the disk into the Wii.
|
||||
+ Optional step: you can install the official riivolution forwarder channel to the Wii menu by selecting the install option to the right. This negates the need for having to launch the homebrew channel every time you want to launch riivolution.
|
||||
1. Enable the mod and select Launch. Depending on the mod, you may have different options for it.
|
||||
|
||||
Pay attention to the region your mod is meant for. NTSC is for U.S and Japan, and PAL is for Europe and Korea.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
### File Structure
|
||||
|
||||
Every Riivolution mod is different, and depending on which mod you choose, it may include more or less files than shown in this diagram.
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
Do not get confused with the actual Riivolution app, and the Riivolution folder that goes on the root.

title: "USB Loaders"
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
{% include toc title="Tabel de Conținut" %}
|
||||
|
||||
This guide introduces USB loaders on the Wii. They can be primarily used to load game backups that were dumped from a retail game disc. Depending on the loader, there may also be extensions to allow it to function as a frontend for non-Wii games as well. The two most commonly used loaders are USB Loader GX and WiiFlow Lite (a regularly updated mod of the original WiiFlow) - one loader may work better for you than the other, so it's worth trying both out.
|
||||
|
||||
**Note about Configurable USB Loader:**<br> Due to the age and lack of support for Configurable USB Loader (last update was in 2011), this guide does not provide dedicated installation instructions. If enough demand is there, it may be added in the future.
|
||||
{: .notice--warning}
|
||||
|
||||
In order for a USB loader to function properly, you must have the correct cIOS installed. Please check [this](cios) guide for instructions if you are on Wii, and [this](cios-mini) guide if you are on Wii mini.
|
||||
{: .notice--warning}
|
||||
|
||||
To play games, you are advised to use a large SD card or an external hard drive, flash drives are very sporadic in functionality. See [storage FAQ](faq).
|
||||
{: .notice--info}
|
||||
|
||||
Forwarders to open these loaders on the Wii Menu can be found on the Open Shop Channel for [WiiFlow Lite](https://oscwii.org/library/app/wiiflow_channel_installer) or on the official SourceForge page for [USB Loader GX](https://sourceforge.net/projects/usbloadergx/files/Releases/Forwarders/USB%20Loader%20GX-UNEO_Forwarder_5_1_AHBPROT.wad/download). You can install either with [YAWM ModMii Edition](yawmme).

||||
+ Star - Adds game to favorites.
|
||||

### USB Loader GX
|
||||
|
||||
#### Requirements
|
||||
+ A modded Wii
|
||||
+ Fully installed [cIOS](cios)
|
||||
+ [USB Loader GX](https://oscwii.org/library/app/usbloader_gx)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Installation
|
||||
|
||||
1. Ensure that your Wii already has cIOS 248-251 installed - this can be checked with applications like [SysChecker](syscheck) or d2x cIOS installer.
|
||||
1. Download USB Loader GX and install it on your SD Card or USB device.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Quick Start Guide
|
||||
|
||||
##### General
|
||||
|
||||
+ If USB Loader GX says "Waiting for HDD..." with a 20 second countdown, it is very likely that it cannot detect your USB device. Try to exit out of the app, plug your USB device into the opposite port that it is currently in, and relaunch it.
|
||||
+ You can press the 1 Button on your Wii Remote to open up a dialog to download game covers and artwork from [GameTDB](https://gametdb.com/). It might take a while to download the game covers and artwork, depending the amount of games you have.
|
||||
+ GameCube or "custom" Wii games may or may not have a custom banner that USB Loader GX uses. To enable this, find or write `CustomBannersURL = http://banner.rc24.xyz/` in `config/GXGlobal.cfg` on the drive you installed the app on. Then, you can use the `Custom Banner` download by pressing the 1 Button on your Wii Remote.
|
||||
|
||||
##### User Interface
|
||||
|
||||
On the middle of the bottom of the screen, you can see how much space is free on your USB drive and how many games you have.

### Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
Although the majority of games should work as-is with default settings, some may require using a specific cIOS to function, or to utilize certain features within the game. Examples include:
|
||||
|
||||
+ Using a keyboard in Animal Crossing: City Folk.
|
||||
+ Running SpongeBob's Boating Bash.
|
||||
|
||||
A more comprehensive (although still incomplete) list can be found [here](https://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/Wii_cIOS_base_Compatibility_List).
|
||||
|
||||
To change the cIOS used for a specific game, follow the instructions specific to your USB loader:
|
||||
|
||||
#### USB Loader GX
|
||||
1. Select the game that isn't working.
|
||||
1. Click Settings.
|
||||
1. Select `Game Load`.
|
||||
1. Scroll down to `Game IOS`.
|
||||
1. Enter the IOS slot to use.
|
||||
+ Try using 250 or 251, if 249 doesn't work.
|
||||
1. Press OK and try to load the game.
|
||||
|
||||
#### WiiFlow Lite
|
||||
1. Select the game that isn't working.
|
||||
1. Click the gear icon.
|
||||
1. Go to cIOS and use the arrows to select the IOS slot to use.
|
||||
+ Try using 250 or 251, if 249 doesn't work.
|
||||
1. Press Save and try to load the game.
|
||||
|
||||
[Continue to Nintendont](nintendont) Now that you have installed a USB loader of some type for Wii games, you can install a similar type of application for effectively native playback of GameCube games.
