Getting started?

[OnkelLes]

Hallo Guys!

Today my USB Gecko came. So i put it into the Slot A of my Wii and tried to start WiiRDGui. But it says that it can't connect to Gecko? What do i have to do? Sorry but i am new and want to try. But i didn't find any hints. :)

Oh thanks. *lol*

I bought the Gecko from someone i don't know. :) But he forgot to send me the drivers CD. All i got is a Gecko + Cable. Do i get the drivers somewhere else?

So. I did. U have to know. Normaly i am not that dumb with computers. :) But Vista is a bit new for me.

I did the installation. And i put the Gecko in the Slot B of the Wii. I started a game with Gecko OS (1.07b) and it still says can't connect. :( Do i use the wrong Gecko OS Version? I need the 1.06 F1?

Greetings and again big thx

your computer has to see the usbgecko as a USB serial converter, if it isn't you did something wrong.

[OnkelLes]

My computer does see it as a USB serial converter. But i don't know if my Gecko OS shows a green thingie or whatever u call it. :)

[Romaap]

I wasn't sure what is was, but I just checked, you have to see a green square in bottom left with a gecko in it

[OnkelLes]

I'll try the 1.06 F1 and see what happens. :)

but do you see a square at the bottom left?
when my USBGecko isn't connected it is grey and when it is connected it is green.

[OnkelLes]

Yes i can see it and its green. So what can be the problem? I didn't change the version of Gecko OS so its still 1.07b. And WiiRD is also the latest 0.91 i think. But it still can't connect...

I'll try the 1.06 F1 and see what happens. :)

Don't use that, it has so many bugs you won't believe. It's not the Gecko OS version, it's most likely the connection to and from your computer. Or heck, it could even be the USB Gecko itself.

did you try to connect with another computer?
