a Christmas miracle!
I have solved the issue.
If anyone ever has the problem it's because...
The computer it wasn't working on, I had a crappy 7zip ripoff
I unpacked the zipped root file on a computer that had the official version of 7zip and GCRebuilder gobbled those files right up.
Both devices running Windows
So if anyone ever has this problem now everyone here can now be assured that it's not a problem with the 20XX files or any involved hacking files.
I have the iso now.
Thanks for this guide btw!!!!
one more thing,
is there a guide on how to boot via sd card? I tried formatting mine to WBFS and I put the iso in there but usbloaderGX and dios/mios can't find it or something.
I even tried nintendont and it says sd/games not found even when I put the ios into a folder called "games"
Also even when I do a lot of other folder and naming adjustments it can't find the .ios file....... I need to see the exact setup required or a guide or something
I have a 4 gig sdhc
