I have the newest version of Gecko on my SD memory card and I installed Bootmii and the Homebrew Channel on my 4.2 (USA) Wii. I think I downgraded the Wii, but I forget what I did to do this. I followed one of the 4.2 softmod Wii guides from WiiHack's website. I can use cheat codes fine with all Wii disc games (USA and Japanese), but some Wiiware and Virtual Console games do not load-up. Even without codes on, Rage of the Gladiator, Castlevania: Rebirth, and Super Castlevania IV go to the "Press A to continue" pre-main Wii screen and, if I select the game's channel from there, the codes do not work. With games like Bonk's Adventure and Castlevania 3, with or without codes, it loads-up the actual Wiiware/VC game and the codes work fine. I cannot figure out why some games load-up and others don't. I tried all the Hook Types and I tried all 3 different Force types (i.e. the USA one) and I also tried setting the language in Gecko's Config Options menu to English, but it still doesn't work with some games. I tried creating my own .txt files with notepad and the non-booting games do not with those files, nor do they work with the .txt and .gct files I downloaded from the official Gecko Codes website. Games like Castlevania 3 and Bonk's Adventure work both with my .txt created files and with the officially downloaded Gecko website files, but Rage of the Gladiator, CV:Rebirth, and Super CV IV don't work either way. I also tried downloading the .txt file with the app that connects to the Internet and downloads .txt cheat codes directly to the Wii, but that doesn't work either. BTW I use Code Manager to create the .gct files. I cannot figure out why some WW/VC games boot-up (both with and without codes) and some don't. This problem is only with the WW/VC games, the regular retail games work fine. I launch the Channel (aka WW/VC) from the main Gecko screen and it does say that it found codes for the game and that it is applying them, but it doesn't apply them and it doesn't load-up the channel. Any help on this problem would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Edit: Fixed some mess-ups in what I wrote.
Update: I installed IOS 38, 53, 55, and 56, but it didn't fix the problem. What is the newest IOS for games? Also, does anyone know what IOS is required for Rage of the Galdiator?
