Tell which games and region. So devs can test.

Bejeweled 2 (USA)
Babel Rising (Europe)
Art of Balance (USA)
2 Fast 4 Gnomz (USA)

Can you give me an example of a game that is known to work when launching from the games list?

Tried art of balance and babel rising, both launch to wii menú.

Most wiiware launch to wii menú. Only a couple launch fine and not always.

VC most launch fine. Except arcade ones.

BTW Art of balance was working for me. Now it launches to wii menú. Maybe If I try later, it launchs fine. For me is a no wiiware until this problems gets solved. Other people seem to have no problems launching wiiware games.

Maybe a log could help devs.

OK. Very annoying issue. Can someone else chime in on this? Is anyone able to launch wiiware titles from games list without issues?

Log is attached.

Logs have to be manually enabled on current builds. Tried launching Megaman 10 and Sonic 4 Episode 1 (WiiWare) from the game list with a non-full NAND and both booted fine. Then I deleted both from the NAND and filled it up by moving all Just Dance DLCs I own from the virtual SD card to the NAND, with the NAND full and booting from the game list I got to the Wii Menu instead, as expected.

TL;DR seems to work as intended, at least here...

OK. Thanks for testing. Am I wrong to assume that my NAND is not full since I can install wiiware titles to it without issues?
If I go to manage Wii save files there is 981 blocks open. This means the NAND is not full, right.

I just tested with both those two games and I get the issue with both of them.

EDIT: Don't know if it makes any difference but even after installing a wiiware title to the NAND, It still boots to the Wii menu when trying to launch it from the games list.

I also tried removing most of my save files and now I have 1463 blocks open. No difference.

Yes, space is not the issue here. Or at least the main issue. Even some installed wiiware games launched from wii menú, reboots to wii menú.

Other times wiiware games installed on wii menú launch fine from wii menú but reboot to wii menú if launched from Dolphin ui.
