I can't rip an .iso from my disk either, why? Because my disk and disk drive are fucked up beyond repair lol This may be the reason.

And no, loaders cannot run discs. The point of loaders is to run backups from HDDs. You use a disk in Gecko and Riivo for instance, loaders need ISOs on a USB.

the loaders can't run the disk, but a loader can rip the iso from a disc and save it to a flash drive or HDD

see i thought that the loader could rip the iso to the Usb flash drive, i wasnt trying to run the disk from the loader, am i maybe pressing the wrong button or should the loader setting be changed?

and my wiis disc drive works fine, but i wanted a backup iso of monster hunter and i was going to use the discs from friends to get games i dont hav instead of going P2P sharing, just for safety, lol so i really want to get this working

This is obvious, trying to figure out why Lyra cannot do this. Obviously her HDD isn't the issue, as the loader would've made this very clear as soon as you ran the app.
What loader are you using lyra? I assume USBloaderGX.

There's not really a wrong button to push, nor any settings that would effect your ability to rip an ISO. Pretty much all you need to rip an ISO is a functioning loader, disk, disk driver and HDD with adequate space. But depending on your loader there could be some underlying issues.

But, it seems that her drive can't rip it because it's not functioning.

This is the most likely cause, others off the top of my head being an outdated GX rev or a faulty IOS setup.

sorry, my net went down and then the router wouldnt restart so iv been away ok.... its the newest USB loader gx and i checked and the are no updates for it
and its running on ios 249
i tried loadin another game and again it stopped at .03GB
sounds too coincidental to b something random
i formatted my flash drive with the backup manager that 11jphillips put in his guide and this is what my sys check says(sorry its so big i didnt know how else to tell you) ill delete it after u see it...and my drive runs all my games

If only I knew what any of that meant lmao From the very verrrrry limited knowledge I have of deciphering system checks, nothing seems to be out of place. or there is and my ignorant ass missed it but a bad IOS setup isn't very likely to be the cause of your problem. Its always a possibility but I think it's most likely your disk drive or GX.

I would try using a different loader to make sure there isn't anything wrong with your Wii.

ok thanks, i couldnt tell either from my even more limited knowledge lol
the only thing is the hermes-v4 and the ios d2x- is v7 both newer versions i believe??? but i think its gotta be the settings...idk
thats why im asking you guys lol ur all hackers lol help!!!
idk if its actually freezing , but the upload time stops moving at all and iv waited 5 min 4 it to do anything, am i just too impatient?

Hermes is up to v5 maybe higher idk and d2x is up to v9 I believe. I've only ever used d2x v9 so I can't really comment on the old versions but Hermes v4 and v5 are virtually the same at least on the surface.

I've heard of it going very slow but the few times I tried to rip an ISO with GX I quit before I could find out if it would somehow get faster. Honestly I think it may be easier just to download an ISO online.

ohh, sorry I misunderstood.

ok heres a new question...if i get the wad installer and put in new updated wads will they just replace the old ones or do i need something else? cant i just get on hbc and install?

You can overwrite them with newer ones.

good i thought that was the case but u know, im asking the "experts"

Ok guys, here's my first question: my laser died, so while I can get it replaced, I'm using an USB loader. I made my custom ISO, got the gct file, and everything is working perfectly so far, but here's the thing, is there a way I can add the weapon and armor textures other than trucha-ing them in? Like, Gecko codes or something? Is not really a life or death situation, but it'd be nice to have these textures, to help me get used to the new weapons, since my Deviljho greatsword has fire element now, and all the new weapons look pretty much the same.

I heard Wii Scrubber works, but I'm not sure what the process for using it would be.

Riivo>Trucha>Scrubber. Riivo is the easiest way to patch a game since you don't have to add an updated ISO to your HDD every time. Obviously not an option for you so you have to use Trucha and Scrubber. There may be other ways but these are the 2 best and most widely used.

Now, Trucha is best for patching and Scrubber is best for extracting but you won't be able to patch every weapon in just Trucha so you need Scrubber as well. So if you want all the custom texture I would suggest opening your ISO in Trucha first and patching all textures you can in there and Trucha sign it. Then open it in Scrubber, remember to set the scrub type to 'Trucha' that is very important, and patch the rest. Open it in Trucha once more to Trucha sign again and you're good.

But be aware, some weapons and armor will make you freeze if equipped with modded textures. This is the only real downfall of self-patching and why Riivo is such a good app.

Thanks. I did it, and now my new character can use tons of Aethers trolololol.

On a serious note, I'm currently writing down the weapons that give me a freeze (since I don't really care much about the armor textures, so didn't add them), so I don't add them on a second scrub. I have a lot work ahead of me, but it will be worth it, lol.

Another quick question: how many G rank quests are there? I think I only have 4, and I don't know how many I'm supposed to have.

There's like 40 custom quests.

All of them are G Rank because they become harder in G Mode.

hey if it helps look in hackmii, there are homebrew apps, and one of them lets you control the laser in the wii, maybe that might be able to fix it, give it a try

Uhm, such as?

ik this is like 3 mos later but i put homebrew browser in my apps, and under the utilities i could swear theres an app for the laser, it mayb easier to find than searching hackmii
