Wii Game Loader(USB Loader)

Pray4ragE · 10-23-2014, 06:28 AM #1

Was wondering if it's possible to load games like how USB Loaders work on an actual Wii. I want to use Dolphin while my laptop is connected to the TV and it would be easier to use the Wiimote to change games instead of having to press ALT + ENTER, stop the emulation and load a new game every time I want to change the game.

If you have a wireless mouse with a programmable button....

But no, I dont think Dolphin supports USB Loader

well... one way to find out.

Yes, Dolphin does support some USB loaders lol.

Neogamma works enough to boot games.
Uloader does not work.
Configurable USB Loader runs but fails to mount the SD card.

How would I go about loading NeoGamma onto dolphin? Install a wad? And do I actually need a USB Drive or would a partition suffice?

Also... Could you tell which version has been tested and working? It took me a while to get dolphin working this well and I wouldn't wanna mess it up(even though i have backed it up)

I think we're failing to mount SD cards, now idea about USB devices.

Okay, so what do you mean by Neogamma can boot games? To what extent is it operational?

I was able to boot a game from it; that's about it. As for booting it, it's as simple as dragging the dol onto dolphin.

That's great! So now if dolphin ever gets a feature to mount USB drives or SD cards it will be a fully functional USB Loader?

I dragged the dol onto dolphin and it gave me "Unknown command 0x0000000".. What do I do now?

I would like to launch Neogamma from the Wii System Menu. Is this possible in dolphin? I cannot find a wad for Neogamma but apparently there is one

GOOD NEWS!

I have installed USB Loader GX and it can run! I created an SD Card and use winimage to load Neogammer and USB Loader GX automatically. I installed forwarder channels(wads) and managed to load it. However, I've had no luck loading Neogammer from either The Homebrew channel or the forwarder!

It is necessary for me to have cIOS installed in order to USB Loader GX - can anyone show me where I can find a wad for this? Or modify one from NUS Downloader? I'm not entirely sure what it is, all I know is that I need it.

------EDIT-------
I am under the impression that Dolphin doesn't load IOS at all... Is the true? If so, how can any USB Loader ever be functional??
