You probably haven't noticed that I haven't posted any hacks in a while, by virtue of nobody ever noticing anything I post anyway. If you jerks wanna redeem yourselves, then help me get back on track.

Currently, the process I must undertake in order to even play Brawl goes like this:

  • Reinstall motherboard drivers
  • Restart computer
  • Reformat external hard drive to NTFS
  • Reformat external hard drive to WBFS
  • Copy Brawl ISO to external hard drive
  • Start up any USB Loader
  • Play Brawl once

This obstacle course, that I must navigate every time I want to play any Wii game, is a symptom of three problems that defy everything I do in order to solve them.

Problem 1: USB loaders are apparently single-use.
USB loaders work fine... once. Just once. No matter what USB loader I use or what game I play, once I stop playing that game, all USB loaders insist that there is no hard drive plugged into the Wii. The only way for me to fix this is to format the hard drive as NTFS, and then format it back to WBFS (and my Wii only wants to talk to WBFS drives, even though I have all the stuff necessary for using FAT drives), and then copy the iso back over. This is complicated by:

Problem 2: USB 2.0 drivers are apparently single-use.
In other words, every time I shut down my computer, it "forgets" that it has USB 2.0 ports and insists on doing all transfers at USB 1.1 speed. Which means that step 5 up there, in which I shuttle seven-and-a-half gigabytes to an external hard drive, takes about three hours. Three hours after which I will no longer be in the mood to Brawl. I can reinstall my motherboard drivers and then restart, which fixes the problem and allows me to transfer at full USB 2.0 speeds... until, of course, I restart my computer again. Which basically means I have to reinstall every time I want to play Brawl.

Problem 3: Nintendo decided it would be a jolly good idea to disguise a lawnmower engine as a DVD drive.
This one speaks for itself, and isn't really fixable. I can technically play Brawl with the disc, but that means half an hour of removing and reinserting the disc until the Wii decides it wants to read it, and then I must play while constantly listening to the terminally noisy drive motor. No thanks, pal.


So, I need two questions answered, in descending order of urgency:
1: How do I make USB loaders work more than once?
2: How do I get the USB 2.0 drivers to stick?

I realize that neither of these questions is strictly Brawl-hacking-related, but they are nonetheless in the way of my Brawl hacking. And my Wii gaming in its entirety.

The motherboard in question is an Intel Classic DG43NB. I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium x64. The hard drive is a SimpleTech Signature Mini "espresso" 120GB, which is listed as compatible.

Wait why did you reinstall every thing on your computer. If you have a sd card and an sd card reader you can just do brawl hacking from there and the sd card has two be reformated to "FAT32". Make sure you use "Phantom Wings" File replacement code if your useing the SD card method. You might want to try NeoGamma v R8 its a way better back up luncher that will load your copy of brawl and if you do this then plz note that in order for this to work you need your brawl iso file on a (DVD -R) disk that should be 7.8 giga bytes and if you have a modded wii a.k.a mod chip in your wii then make sure you installed it right and if your not sure then scan it with your computer and reinstall the files in it (dont know much about mod chips)
For your USB loader check your settings on it if you did not save your setting then thats your problem although i know almost nothing about USB loader's but if you can connect it to your computer then check the settings to see if you saved them also try reinstalling or updateing the files on your USB loader


----PS----You are trolling in your title and some of txt in the qustion your asking. Plz change this because trolling is illeigal here on the forums and who wants to respond to trolling?
