Hi all,

I've been running Config USB since Christmas 2010, but had problems all along with random freezing in games.

Last week I picked up a second hand Wii in Game, mainly to use it for Netflix. I ran Modmii on it, and its running Config USB perfectly.

I then ran Modmii on the original Wii, but it still hangs. I don't get an option on this one to backup the nand, but I have the correctly working one backed up. I lost the nand backup on the first Wii when my hard drive died on me last year.

Can I use the new backup nand on the old Wii, to see if I redo Modmii it will work properly this time? Both are running 4.3, or are the nand backups only for the Wii they are taken from?

Thanks
 
no, you can't use the nand from one wii on a nother wii.

i have also had problems with random hanging, i think it was summit to do with which revision usb loader and channel forwarder that was used.
in other words if i used the anything beyond usb loader v60 along with the latest forwarder i would get random hanging and remotes not synching on usb channel...


easiest way to fix is by deleting the usb loader channel,
running modmii (telling it do update all ios to wii 4.3 and installing config usb loader channel)

then deleting everything on your harddrive (except the wbfs folder with the games in) and and using the new up to date files you get from modmii.

this way everything will be up to date and the random freezing/snyching problems will stop... :)
 
HI Buzzer,

Yep, I remember you trying to help me before. I think it all went wrong when I first modded: I wasnt formatting the SD card between loading the bits and bobs (before I found Modmii) and I thnk I messed something up then. I've tried different bits and bobs, but was having trouble with Bootloader, Wii only coming on if I pressed the reset, all kinds of stuff.

I'll get my hands on a new drive and do what you suggest: Config USB 70 is working a dream on the other Wii. Might not get a chance for a few days: the Duchess had our second baby on Sunday, so any time I have off I'm running around doing stuff around the house (he was 2 weeks early!), so I'm off to crawl around in the attic now to look for a breast pump and a breastfeeding pillow. Thats just for me, then there's a list for the wife........!


Thanks again, I'll keep you posted

best to delete your existing config loader channel and use modmii to update everything....

if you ever get a chance...;) lol

Hi Buzzer,

Perfect! This has been driving me mad for the last year and it's bang on now! I deleted a load of other stuff (Backup player, Wii Launcher or something) and deleted the old channel/forwarder, runs a dream. Managed to get a WAD for the Beatles Rock Band DLC and that's working as well.

Last thing to do is to configure MAME for the Wii and I'm all set.

Thanks again!
 
you can get MAME for the wii?

let us know if you get it working.. ;)
 
I'm on it! Just have to sort out how to get the rom path fixed, but I have the Mame emu itself running through Homebrew.
 
Hi Buzzer,

Finally got Mame to work on the Wii: I'll make a new thread in case others are interested as well.
