The only other thing I used was to remove the copy protection of save files, maybe I should turn that off.
I've never seen anyone had problems with that one. The ones you want to avoid are the ones that could potentially stop you accessing the Wii Menu. Those would be the ones that fool with the Health Warning and the look and feel of the menu itself.

Is there a simple way to remove a IOS from a slot? I have d2xv6 (56) in IOS248 and IOS250 and d2xv6 (57) in IOS247 and IOS249. The firmware is 4.3.
Dop-Mii or AnyTitle Deleter Mod. Which IOS do you want to remove exactly? There is no current need to remove any of the IOSes you listed.

Weird. I use auomatic A press at health screen, block disc updates and block online updates from startpatch and my Wii is working fine. I'm on 4.2E though. I suppose I don't need those last two anymore since I'm using cfg loader though?
If you are safe now, you're OK and don't need to change anything. I would not apply the Automatic A in future if a new firmware is released, though.

I was wondering if there was any specific external HDD I need to purchase to play my ripped backups off of? I don't need anything huge as I only own about 15 Wii games. Is the drive's speed a major factor?
Also, with the USB loader, I haven't installed it yet because I wanted to wait until I got around to buying an external HDD. Is it possible to test it out by ripping one of my games to a USB stick, or would that take some other kind of configuration that would mess me up when I eventually get an external drive?
I'm new to all of this and am afraid of screwing someting up.
Most drives work, but if you have to choose, try to get an older drive (i.e., not USB 3.0 and so on). Many USB sticks do work (although with a much lower success rate than with drives) and there is no harm in testing it out on a USB stick, so give it a go, but don't let it discourage you if it fails. One thing to note with USB sticks is they tend to work better if you leave them unplugged until Cfg is loading and then plug them in.

Tried some different games with StartPatch (I now have only the patches from the guide installed). Seems it depends on the game if it works or not. I tried Rune Factory Frontier, Arc Rise Fantasia and Tales of Symphonia 2 and of those only Rune Factory worked.
Anybody know of any important difference between those games? I figured it might be that maybe only the last two have updates on the disc, but I have the patch to block the updates installed (I tried it with and without the patch).
Are all of these import games? Do they work via other means? What firmware is your Wii on and how did you get there?
And one big warning: If they are import discs, DO NOT apply any update that appears on them. They will brick your Wii.

So Clipper, I'm trying to get the confirm_start = 0 option to work in CFG. I put the line in config.txt but it doesn't do anything, I still get the window with options after clicking A on a game. Any ideas? They worked fine in my old version, running v70 now. I'm using the NXE theme. There is no config.txt in the apps/UsbLoader directory or anything in the settings.txt OR in the nxe theme.txt that could be overriding any of this.
edit: uhm, it seems nothing I change there works. I tried clock_style = 24 and there's no clock. I'm on an NTSF drive and I didn't even add
ntfs_write = 1
fat_split_size = 0
but games are still booting? What?
edit2: what the hell? When I start a game it says IOS(249), which I used before, even though I installed d2x and followed the meta.xml steps so it would use IOS 248. So why is it using 249 still? It seems it's still using all my settings from my old version, even though I updated and changed everything. I'm very, VERY confused.
confirm_start won't work in v70 of Cfg if you have the GUI Menu switched on (which is default). You have to disable the GUI Menu to be like the old GUI (with
gui=2) to get it to work.
As for your config.txt and meta.xml changes, I suspect you have a second config.txt file somewhere. Find the global options screen (Hit B, 1, 1 from the GUI or navigate the GUI Menu) and check where it says your config.txt file is located and if there is an additional one. Alternatively, check the directory where the Cfg .dol is as well as /usb-loader on the SD and drive to find where your config.txt files are. Somewhere, you will find one that likely still has the ios=249 option in it.
Hmm.. just realised you mention this only at the start of a game and not at the start of the loader itself. If it is correctly displaying 248 at startup, then ignore the above paragraph. You must be playing a game for which you saved options for at an earlier stage while you had IOS249 set as your default. Go to that game and change its per-game option to 248 and save the options.
