| Symptom | Likely Fix |
|---------|-------------|
| Black screen on launch | Enable Block IOS Reload |
| Freezes after intro | Change Video Mode to Disc Default |
| “Exception (DSI)” error | Update cIOS to d2x v10 beta 53 |

Before consulting a list, understand these variables: Minimum IOS/cIOS:
| Factor | Impact | |--------|--------| | cIOS version | d2x v8 or v10 (beta 52/53) is best. Old cIOS breaks games. | | USB port | Port 0 (outermost, near edge) works best for most setups. | | USB drive | Flash drives often fail. HDDs with external power are best. | | Format | WBFS (compressed) works for almost all. Some rare games need ISO. | | Game region | PAL games on NTSC console may need video mode changes. | | Loader settings | Video mode, language, hook type, block IOS reload. | | Game-specific patches | Some games require “Ocarina” cheats or alternate .dol loading. |
The biggest challenge to the list came with massive games. Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Metroid Prime: Trilogy were dual-layer discs. Initially, USB Loader GX couldn't read the second layer. Notes:
For months, these games sat in the "Red" section of the list.
If you are experiencing black screens, this is rarely the fault of USB Loader GX itself. It is almost always a cIOS issue. To ensure maximum compatibility, you must have the following installed (via d2x cIOS Installer):
Tip: USB Loader GX allows you to assign specific cIOS slots to specific games. If a game doesn't launch with the global setting, right-click the game, go to "Settings," and force it to use cIOS 250.
