Hey guys I was wondering if anybody could tell me what I am doing wrong I can't connect to My gecko to wiird or geckodotnet I have windows 7 I plugged in my gecko but nothing comes up for hardware or anything thanks.
I recently installed windows 7 on my Laptop so I had the same problem an hour ago.
Just download these (http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/CDM/CDM%202.06.00%20WHQL%20Certified.zip) drivers from the ftdi site, then go to the device manager and go to the preferences of USBGecko (might be displayed as unrecognizable hardware) and go to the driver tab and install/update drivers.
Just let it look in the file you just downloaded.
Ok I will try that but one other question even if I don't have those drivers downloaded I have HBC on my wii but do I need anything else or will the HBC just recognize the gecko or do I need to download gecko os?
HBC will recognize the USBGecko but if you want to hack games then you need to download Gecko.
Well I plugged the gecko in slot a and nothing comes up in HBC I did update to 4.2 would that have anything to do with it any suggestions?
Put it in slot b, if HBC recognizes the USBGecko the small picture of a gecko in the bottom right will be white.
I can't seem to find out how to install those drivers you listed could you help me thanks.
Ok can anybody help me I got the drivers downloaded it said successful but geckodotnet or wiird will not connect to my gecko I have it plugged in slot b is there something I am missing?
is your Gecko being detected on Wii side.. HBC will show a white Gecko sign in the lower corner..
Basically the drivers being shipped with Windows 7 are not the newest but new enough so that WiiRd and Gecko dotNET should work out of the box!
Ya the gecko is white in HBC I'm using gecko 1.9.3 to launch the game but when the game starts it says cannot connect to gecko. At one point using geckodotnet it did launch the game itself but when game started it said cannot connect to gecko and I have tried to reinstall the drivers like 4 times I have the gecko in slot b.
Wow I thought this is the place to get help with a usb gecko but thats alright I will figure it out thanks anyway.
When you start Gecko, go to options and make sure the debugger is set to on.
Ya thanks I got it working. :) Thanks for all your help.
Sorry for the comment above I was just getting really irratated, I knew I had the drivers n everything right but the damn thing just would not work lol I'm really not on this forum much but I think I will be on here alot more again thanks.
