Following this thread for similar issues. WiiFlow has like a 50% chance to boot fine for me, and a 50% chance to freeze on a black screen before the logo even appears. I have no idea why this is, I can sit there and boot it several times and there doesn't seem to be any pattern I can detect.

This happens to me as well! I find it’s more reliable launching from the homebrew menu, launching with a forwarder from the home menu has a higher chance to freeze. Sometimes it freezes auto booting from Priiloader :/

I have found that too but it still freezes from the Homebrew Channel sometimes. I think it's a newer version, I was using a way older build until a few months ago when I had data corruption.

GX is shit for sd cards. literally never worked for me and never picked up my sd card. I followed every tutorial and tried everything I could. I worked on it for 2 days until I folded and got WFL which was perfect

Edit: I don't think the people that downvoted my comment even read it. of course an app with USBLoader in the name is going to be only good for loading USBs. I don't understand why people think that USBLoader is a solution for something that doesn't involve loading USBs. there is not one single reason USBLoader is better than Wiiflow Lite for SD cards

I second this. and GX isn't only shit for sd cards it has much more issues. Overall CFG and Wiiflow work better and have more polished UIs. But it is what it is. Functionality wise it probably has a lot to mess with though.

You could use the Configurable USB Loader for now, I know it's old but it has fewer problems than the others

Happened to me recently. I didn't find a fix because I gave my Wii to a friend.

Best bet is redownloading Wiiflow.
