Gecko OS won't start up.

[FalconMan07]

Okay, I updated my Wii System Menu to 4.2, so I thought I was screwed until I saw Wild Goose Speeders tutorial, I managed to to install the homebrew channel, now, I was really happy, and all that, BUT I installed Gecko OS, got all the files in the right places, Brawl was in there and I started the app. Then for some reason, I got a black screen, I thought it was loading until I clicked the power button, IT FROZE!! I really don't know what is wrong one of my friends tried helping me in every way he could but it still froze, I do not know what is wrong if you know what the problem is, tell me and thanks in advance, CaPTn.

My Wii is 4.2 PAL, AU.

Please use Gecko 1.9.2b or 1.9.3RC and NOT Gecko 1.9.2! Gecko 1.9.2 does not work on 4.2!

I had a similar problem as well except gecko os wouldn't load at all. At first it only happened about 5% of the time and from what I've read on the forum it's normal. But then it began to happen more frequently after I switched to gecko os 1.8.2 then I updated HBC to the most current one. After that I updated the wii shop channel through WiiSCU and after buying all the latest songs off the beatles rockband store, Gecko OS would not load at all.

So I tried everything minus updating the system menu since I have 3.3U. I reformatted my sd card, reloaded gecko os 1.9.2 and still gecko os would not load. Then finally on a whim I turned on Wii connect 24 and then suddenly everything worked fine. Gecko OS loads perfectly now, every time even. I tested out all my games just to make sure and Geck OS loaded and ran every game and code with no problem. Confusing but no big deal as long as I can play with codes.

I have a similar problem atm .. here are the details

I recently purchased New Super Mario Brothers
Had some issues in game so decided to load some ocarina codes.

Here is what took place.

Using Codemgr.exe (Wii Code Manager) to load some codes onto memory card, loading them onto SD successfully .
I went to insert my SD card into wii.
Started Wii, loaded Homebrew.
Went to Gecko OS 192b.
Starting Gecko and after just starting Gecko is restarts and goes back to wii channel menu.
Thinking this may be some error I tried loading from the .dol and .elf of the gecko OS (They where both on card) Both of them crash.

Went back to PC. Deleted some playlist file, odd name file, new game codes.and rebooted Gecko . Still Crash.

Currently I have 4 folders on SD card.
Apps
codes
Txtcodes
WAD
Temp

and Config.dat.

Reloaded Gecko OS and same thing happens.
Try Apps like Ocarina and says invalid .

System 4.1

Any ideas on what could cause the issue ?
