Some background info: I'm using a wii from release, running software version 4.3 U. I was, in the past, running PM from Brawl using the stage builder, but the disk drive started dying, so I transferred to an external HDD. I used Bannerbomb to do the exploit necessary for homebrew, and use USB Loader gx to run the Brawl iso, which immediately boots up PM.
A few days ago, my roommates were playing and the game suddenly froze. They tried restarting, but to no avail. We've had a similar problem before, and reloading the SD card and/or plugging the HDD into the computer for a while always fixed it. However, neither of those options have worked this time.
When we try to load the game through the Brawl disk, we go to stage manager (no stages) and nothing happens. Brawl just keeps running. When we try to go through USB Loader gx, we get a "Waiting for HDD" error for 20 seconds, and then it proceeds without loading the HDD.
Here's all the info:
SD Card: 2 GB, has USB Loader gx, Project M Launcher, DOP-mii and d2x-cios-installer in the apps folder. I've tried reverting it to the backup I have saved on my computer, but no luck.
HDD: 200 GB, connected with a USB cable. Only the brawl iso on it.
cIOS: 37 v5663, in slot 249.
Things I've Tried:
I HAVE checked that the USB ports on the back of the wii are functioning by plugging my mouse into them. It lights up.
I HAVE checked that the HDD is still formatted correctly using WBFS Manager 3.0
I HAVE replaced all the files on the SD card
I HAVE tried the HDD in both USB ports.
I HAVE tried the SD card and brawl on a DIFFERENT Wii. It didn't work. This is especially bizarre.
Things I haven't Tried:
I HAVE NOT reformatted the HDD and recopied the Brawl iso to it.
I HAVE NOT softmodded the second Wii
I HAVE NOT tried without the dop-mii and d2x-cios-installers on the SD card
Has anyone seen something like this? Do you know of other USB loader packages we might try using?
Does anyone know how to go about fixing this?
If you need any more info, let me know and I'll add it.
Thanks in advance!
