Actually, this is probably the same problem I'm having. Codes are being detected, but the files aren't being patched.

i read ur post black boo, ur thread seems to be along the same lines as mine but i only have problems with it in cfg loader same gct works fine on my friends wii. suppose i can actually replace the files on the iso, but that takes longer. but if u figure anything out pm me. i'll keep u notified as well.

my wii suddenly stopped playing discs so i'm using cfg usb loader to play brawl i got everything working for brawl+ except the file patch code doesn't detect the private/wii/etc folder yet it was the same directory i used in gecko os for brawl.  the codes all work it just doesn't patch the files, any one know whats going on?

Oh snap I has Wiiconnect24 on.... Hmmm I beleive that automatic updating is not real though but if it is here are some ways they will do it. Trough Wiishop, Playing Online, Leaving your wii on stanby(when your wiis led is orange), Aids, Accidently clicking yes, might also happen trough something you download or even come with a new game

lol Aids? XD
And I doubt it would come with a new game >_> The only things they COULD upgrade through games would be how the system handles graphics/controls etc, at least that's my guess.  Otherwise I doubt they'd waste the ISO space XP

they can update with retail discs, when metroid prime 3 came out i was using an outdated menu and it updated it from the game

forgive the nooblet question but is there an easy way to edit codes in a gct without having to back up the original txt file and change that? i hope that made sense. -.-

LOL i like it personally i like trying to kill damn near impossible cpu. i also am a lot better than most of my friends i play with so they use the really over powered chars like this while i simply use zss. this one is pretty tough to kill too XD but it's fun ^^
