You are the second person with this problem. I'd like it if you could provide some more info, if possible. Were you doing the network or the SD installation method?

Yeah. Wii Sports Resort needs you to play the original disc once, either normally or via Gecko OS, watching until at least the end of the MotionPlus video, then it will work fine in USB Loader from then on.Edit 2: Apparently I didn't need it, Wii Sports Resort worked without any other fiddling after upgrading USB Loader and the firmware.
Mejilan said:I've added a draft tutorial for setting up FTPii as your Wii's FTP server, and two alternate programs as your computer's FTP client. I'd appreciate it if someone WITHOUT FTPii set up could run through it and test the tutorial.
I'll happily edit in and necessary corrections/clarifications.
I've tried to make the page consistent with the rest of Clipper's awesome contributions. Please be gentle. It's my first time contributing to resource.

Yes you can, but this is easier. Plus it means I don't help the pirates out there .Nabs said:can't you use the alt.dol method in cUSB as well?
Are you by any chance on firmware 4.0? If so, upgrade your Wii. That would be the bug that 4.1 fixes.fernoca said:Well, everything was working fine with Resort..till recently, every time I try to play the game..normally (i.e. selecting the game and pressing A), it crashes the Wii.
For some reason, when I seleect the game, then Options and there (without changing anything) press A..the game starts..but recently, it's been like..sometimes it loads, sometimes it crashes.
Clipper said:Yes you can, but this is easier. Plus it means I don't help the pirates out there .
Yeah, just upgrade via Nintendo. Some people have needed to reinstall HBC and/or IOS249 afterwards, but that's not a big issue.Nabs said:is it recommended to upgrade through nintendo? and would i have to reinstall anything?
Actually, I'm on 3.3U..Clipper said:Are you by any chance on firmware 4.0? If so, upgrade your Wii. That would be the bug that 4.1 fixes.
The bug seems to be that if you play any games of the SD menu, it deletes or obscures the info that says you watched the WMP video.
If that's not the problem, then try rev 14 of IOS249 I guess. Let us know if it still has problems.
That sounds very weird. If you go to a particular game page (e.g., MK Wii PAL), the pictures that show are all .pngs, so "right-click...Save Image As" should do the trick. If something is converting the images to .bmp, it is almost certainly your Internet browser. Muntrue is probably a better site for downloading covers manually, though.Dash Kappei said:So, I can't connect my Wii to the internet these days (damn), so I went to try and download the 3d covers for CFG (coverflow) from Wiidtb but I can't find a download button: If I try to download simply by right-clicking and "Save as" then I get the no names for the pics and it also "transforms" the images in .bmp instead of .png (also, you lose the alpha channel with .bmp, so...), what gives? Any help?
Sorry for what I imagine is an uber-newb question, and not really wiibrew related
Yeah, I have considered doing that. I'll try to change it in my next revision, whenever that is. The funny thing is, it's exactly the same logo as the one at the top of the forum, resolution and all . That's what a 640*480 screen res will do to you. What size should I make it? A quarter the current size (half in each dimension)?Also Clip, many thanks for the GAF theme, but I'd suggest to give a resize to the GAF pointer image, it's huuuuuge and the fact that it's so low-res makes it quite ugly *IMO*, instead it could be awesome with just a little change
Just my two cents.
Clipper said:[*]Instead of the "(you only need to set up one FTP client)" thing, Create another section called "FTP client installation" or something and preface it with text to say "Any client will do, here's a description of two of them." or something.
[*]Link to Homebrew Browser when you mention it.
[*]Add a separate section for the usage of Ftpii apart from the install/set up. At the moment, the whole process seems rather complicated. That way, it makes it clear how easy it is to use once it's ready.
[*]Add a section to the starting out page.
It appears so. It will likely be up again soon, given it's such an important stage in the installation process.kIdMuScLe said:is bannerbomb down? i've been wanting to download the files again but i get a forbidden message when i go the site.
The only issue is that people won't necessarily realise that only the last few steps are needed the next time they run the app. Creating an account may not click as saving the settings for next time. They may even think they just need to run the app on the Wii once, then exit and not need to have it actively running to allow an FTP client to connect (e.g., they could think: "IOS249 just works without running it, so why not FTPii?").There is no separate usage for FTPii. You download it. You launch it. That's it...
Synless said:I'm at rev 10 and cfg loader 31c. Is there any real reason to update either of those at this point in time?
I'll look into that. Auto update is always nice.Mejilan said:That depends entirely on how much you're content with mediocrity.
If nothing else, I'd update CFG USB Loader to a newer version to enjoy the newest GUI options, updated cover downloading functionality, updated cheat code downloader/manager, and the loader's own built-in network auto-update option.
Dash Kappei said:Much better now Clip, I've done the resize myself as 1/4 like you've said
But anyway, JAW DROPPED
That's freakin' amazing :O
I wish we could have something like that with CFG Loader...
Nabs said:cfg has coverflow now. just press down a few times in gui mode. (i use the matrix theme)
No, the only difference is the crazy slight rotation on Wii cover modes and the useless flip in the single cover mode thing. The carousel option is exactly the same as Configurable's and the Coverflow mode works nearly as well (as long as you are using v37 with the new libfat).Dash Kappei said:Ehmm, yeah.
Not quite the same thing, not by any stretch of imagination
It's Seagate, so it should be fine. you might need to use Seagate's spin down app, but that's all.Anyone know if the Seagate 750GB FreeAgent Desktop ext. HDD works well with USBloading? There's a pretty good deal on it but I see nothing about compatibility
Definitely update to rev 14. No more need for any 002-based options on certain games. No unfortunate bugs like 13 had. It's the perfect time to change.Synless said:I'm at rev 10 and cfg loader 31c. Is there any real reason to update either of those at this point in time?

Yes, Wiiflow's presentation is a little better, but the differences are only minor.

People were complaining about the rev 13 bug within hours. Nobody is complaining about rev 14, yet. I guess something might come up, but it seems Waninkoko got it all right this time (at least for the stuff needed by USB Loader).Dash Kappei said:Do we know that for sure?
I mean, hasn't it been out for like 1 day? Honest question.
flipping_heck said:2. What is stopping me from just renting games, installing them then play the game whenever?
1. Yaulct is what I use to make them.flipping_heck said:Just got usbloader sorted and it works fine indeed (yay) but a few questions:
1. How can I put the games as channels on the Wii Menu screen? I seen a screenshot or two like that, that is a very neat feature i like.

Starwolf_UK said:<snip>Using a USB forwarder like Loadstructor mean</snip> Playing games through them brings up the proper stats on the message board.
Clipper said:You have to run it once normally, then use the USB version. Once you have seen the MotionPlus video once, it should work fine. Also update, or you will need to keep watching the MotionPlus video every time you have played something of the SD channel in-between WSR plays.
You should get 37 (the 'a's stand for alpha, which the release version improves upon).SS4Rob said:This is me - it hasn't been broken so I hadn't fixed it. However I bought Wii Sports Resort and it currently displays a error 002, so now I need to update. Should I get 37a or 37ax? I'm leaning toward 37a since it has auto updates.
Amon37 said:Ok so I haven't updated stuff in a while let me see if I have this right
I can just install Rev. 14 and USB V37 from the HBC Without needing to uninstall anything correct?
CO_Andy said:If you don't update you can't play Little King's Story in 480p! I can confirm this after running the game through Gecko OS and avoiding the update on a 3.2U firmware.
Could just be a special case, but if you're wondering why you can't play <blank> game in progressive, here's your answer.
Hmm. 31 was before rev 13 came out, so it doesn't have the 002 fix. That is why 37 worked. However, you might find that some of your games that used to work no longer do. For those you would need to either use rev 14 or set the Anti-002 fix on every game that fails.SS4Rob said:Hmm... here are some of my findings with Wii Sports Resort:
1.) As I said above, when using cfg usb loader v31 w/ cIOS rev10, I got an error 002. I upgraded to cfg usb loader v37 and stayed with cIOS rev10 and it loads and plays properly. I thought I needed cIOS rev14 also but apparently not. I've been keeping rev10 since it rips quickly and is stable, should I upgrade to rev14 anyway even though everything seems to be kosher?
Perhaps some systems don't demonstrate the bug. If you're on 4.0 already, you might as well upgrade, as it doesn't have any security changes.2.) I tried to replicate the bug where if you play a VC/WW games off of the SD card, you have to watch the Motion+ videos again - I couldn't replicate the problem.
I think this is just a special case. Perhaps you were forcing a particular video mode in the options and didn't realise it. Incidentally, what's the most recently released game you played before LKS?CO_Andy said:If you don't update you can't play Little King's Story in 480p!

There is no need to install IOS249 unless you want to use USB Loader. You also don't need to upgrade to play WSR; I didn't. You can't experience the bug as you can't play games from the SD card. If you want games on the SD card functionality, or access to the Wii Shop, then yes, do install 4.1 through the system menu.mugwhump said:Okay, so I have 3.2U and the homebrew channel and want to upgrade to 4.0 so I can play WSR (while keeping my homebrew, of course)
All I have to do is install IOS249 (as shown here) and then update through the system menu, right? And that's all?
I've been out of the loop for a while...
derp, I just installed cios38 rev 14 (after updating my homebrew channel and installing bootmii) and now when I click on an app in the homebrew channel it says "this is not a valid wii application." Still haven't upgraded to 4.0 though...mugwhump said:Okay, so I have 3.2U and the homebrew channel and want to upgrade to 4.0 so I can play WSR (while keeping my homebrew, of course)
