1 year ago I have the same issue, I'm using a SanDisk Ultra SDXC 256GB formatted in FAT32 with 32KB cluster size on a PAL console: some Wii games boot correctly, others cause the return to the Home Menu. I updated by overwriting the files, then I tried to delete \apps\wiiflow\wiiflow_lite.ini, nothing changed.

I tried both. First, dnd overwrite files. Next, remove existed files(contains wiiflow_lite.ini) and directories before copy. Neither started.
Come to think of it, I don't think wiiflow_lite.ini was created after the startup failed.

1 year ago a similar issue on my 32gb kingston microsd card (mbr/fat32 32k). wiiflow itself loads and can boot games from usb but trying to boot a game from sd leads to it crashing into system menu. works fine on 5.5.3.
and there seem to be problems accessing the sd in general, downloading covers fails

1 year ago If this slightly older test version also doesn't work then it'll rule out libfat as the problem.
Looking at the changelog I think it's more likely to be one of these two changes.
moved SD only setting to wiiflow save file to possibly speed up wiiflow start up. note very first time will be slow and try to mount USB HDD because the SD only setting will need to be moved to the savefile. but afterwards will be fast again.
added the partition option to select SD and USB together for wii and gamecube. issue https://github.com/Fledge68/WiiFlow_Lite/issues/325. BUT if you have the same game on both it will be shown twice. adding a check to see if the game is already listed for every time a game is added i think will slow down the process.

1 year ago Nope, even by deleting wiiflow_lite.ini the issue is still present on my side with v5.5.4 1239b907. At launch of some games the WiiFlow loading logo comes up, but then the loading bar doesn't appear, and after a short black screen the Wii returns to the Home Menu. If it can help, I can tell what games I tested.

I'm wondering if your issue is the auto cios feature. it would help to know what cios you have installed. can you do a syscheck? it could be the games not working are because they want to use a bad cios.

1 year ago try changing the games ios/cios from auto to 249 or 250 and see if those games work.
Vendicatorealato
commented
1 year ago I've tried both by setting the IOS in per-game settings: 249 - Works 250 - Freezes on black screen
I tested only one game now (one that obviously returns to Home Menu with Auto setting).
Fledge68
commented
1 year ago so it seems to me i'm right. with the new auto cios feature wfl v5.5.4 is reloading to a cios (possibly 250) that doesn't work because it didn't install correctly or some other issue with it. I recall a while back @wiidev had someone who downloaded a cios installer that didn't install the cios correctly. do you have wiidev's usblgx? can you try the game with it?
Vendicatorealato
commented
1 year ago I've installed the cIOS by following wii.guide.
Tried USB Loader GX v3.0-r1281, with Game IOS set to Auto that game boots correctly. I don't know if it's relevant, but in general settings the Loader IOS is set to 249.

commented
1 year ago I recall a while back @wiidev had someone who downloaded a cios installer that didn't install the cios correctly
That issue occurred because @eku had repackaged the d2x installer to include multiple d2x versions and there were issues with his directory structure and ciosmaps.xml.
Anyone using the normal d2x cIOS installer won't have any issues 😄
Tried USB Loader GX v3.0-r1281, with Game IOS set to Auto that game boots correctly. I don't know if it's relevant, but in general settings the Loader IOS is set to 249.
Okay. That confirms that it's not a hardware compatibility issue and that WiiFlow is missing something that's causing the issue.
It was a good test to do, since there are some cheap USB flash drives that don't handle multiple IOS reloads correctly.

commented
1 year ago what is the name of the game so we know what ios it uses.
the only other thing i can think of is for this particular game wiiflow isn't properly reloading to the new cios. when set to 249 it's the same as the loader so it doesn't need to reload. but why does it only happen with specific games?
Vendicatorealato
commented
1 year ago Now I was trying Donkey Kong: Jet Race (EUR), but other games that return to Home Menu are for example Crash: Mind Over Mutant (EUR), Mario Super Sluggers (USA) and Wario Land: The Shake Dimension (EUR). Always for example, Another Code: R (EUR), Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise (EUR), Boom Street (EUR), Mario Sports Mix (EUR) and Pandora's Tower (EUR) boot correctly. These are the games that I tested.

Could there be multiple causes? Is there anything I can do to help?

1 year ago I realized now that I misunderstood the OP's issue. I don't have problems to launch WiiFlow Lite v5.5.4 (both final and test versions), my issue is only releated to the booting of games. It would be crucial to know if other users can report that.

Well, I did! My problem was different then yours, I thought you were talking about launch problems
Vendicatorealato
commented
1 year ago I meant if others report the same problem of mine (like @bibarub did), because it's the game booting one that isn't clear from what it depends, now. The application launch issue seems to be confirmed that it doesn't occur with the test version.

commented
1 year ago to clarify: @yoyo-real and @swaggio7 says wfl 5.5.4 won't start at all and that it does work when they use the older version supplied by @wiidev . which means theres something wrong with libcustomfat.
@Vendicatorealato has a different issue. wfl 5.5.4 starts but some games won't start , but they work with 5.5.3 and usblgx. his issue seems to be related to when wiiflow has to reload to a new cios (not 249).
@bibarub has a similar issue to @Vendicatorealato but says it only affects games on SD.

1 year ago @yoyo-real and @swaggio7 can you try this test version please. I updated libcustomfat with wiidev's code and recompiled everything.

10 months ago i was just running into this with a newly hacked wii and the only thing that seems to work for launching games is your test 2 + "Force Load cIOS" + "Force cIOS Revision 251" with games on a 128GB SD card.
i tried lots of things but probably not every combination of options so grain of salt etc. but i confirmed Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 are working with this setup.
oddly i still have to set IOS to 251 additionally in Mario Kart Wii's settings with this. i had expected the "Force cIOS Revision" option to override game-specific "Auto" selection but it does work with that set.
Fledge68
commented
10 months ago if you could post a syscheck it would let us know what cios you have installed and their base ios.
as of v5.5.4 "auto" for game settings does not mean it will use the cios wiiflow uses. it means wiiflow will get the ios the game uses and then find the best matched cios for that game.

10 months ago I've just got a new Sandisk Ultra 256gb SD card and can say that both v5.5.4 and v5.5.3 works fine with it. Only Just Dance modded games seem to have issues playing on v5.5.4 it seems for myself. If your having issues with your SD card make sure its not a fake one by using the h2testw SD card test program. I also used BOOTICE to format to FAT32 with 32kb clusters.

Sure, some games I've tried so far and work are:

Wii: Sam & Max - Season One (USA) (En,Fr,Es) TATSUNOKO VS. CAPCOM ULTIMATE ALL-STARS [STKE08] Wii Party [SUPE01] Wario Land Shake It!

[RWLE01] Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3 [RDSPAF] James Bond - Golden Eye [SJBE52] RESIDENT EVIL THE DARKSIDE CHRONICLES [SBDP08]
and all Just Dance games except the modded ones as they have issues on v5.5.4 but work fine on v5.5.3.

9 months ago Just wanted to chime in, I am having the same problem as @Vendicatorealato, @bibarub and @epicdoodleboy2
Updating to 5.5.4 caused certain Wii and Virtual Console games to fail to load and crash back to either the system menu or WFL (depending on priiloader settings). I have tried with both an upgrade and a clean install, on two different SD cards. (No USB drives.)
Going to each game and individually setting it to force IOS 249 seems to get the games to launch, but it’s a pretty annoying workaround when the previous behavior seemed to work fine? Any chance the new auto-cIOS could be rolled back for the time being?
(I would just revert to an older release but I also really want to use the new Rhapsodii Shima 4:3 theme, which apparently requires 5.5.4 to work correctly.)

6 months ago I'm also experiencing this issue with a newly modded Wii and 5.5.4. I have a Samsung evo 256 GB formatted fat32 with 32k. No games I have tried will boot. All Wii games once launched show the Wii flow loading screen, then a sudden flash back to the Wii flow title info screen, then black screen crash back to Wii flow.
I followed the Wii hacks guide with the letter bomb exploit using Mod mii. I installed CIOSs from d2x v11 beta 1 installer following the guide on Wii hacks.
Everything works fine if I install the same games to a usb HDD and change wiiflow settings to use usb hdd.
Games are installed with Wii backup manager.
