RVLoader Configuration

RVLoader is a versatile software made to accommodate many different portable Wii builds. Because of this, there are a few options to configure for the optimal setup on the Xii-Boy Ultra. All settings should be applied only when all parts are assembled and connected, as certain menus only display when their respective parts are detected.

Fan Calibration

The fan must be calibrated to run quietly and efficiently.

  1. Boot into the RVLoader menu and go to the Settings section using the right joystick.
  2. Navigate to the Power section and under Fan select Run calibration.
  3. Follow the directions on screen and do not cover the fan intake or exhaust while it is running.

After the calibration is complete, adjust the following values in the Fan setting under the Power section:

  • Target temperature: 50.0 °C
  • PID kP: 4.0000
  • PID kI: 0.1200
  • PID kD: 0.5000

Games

Legal Notice

Neither RVLoader nor the Xii-Labs condone piracy! All games must be dumped using an untrimmed, homebrewed Wii. A guide for this can be found here: https://wii.hacks.guide/dump-games.html

RVLoader currently supports running GameCube games through Nintendont and Wii + Wii Virtual Console games through Hiidra. All these games are easily accessible in the RVLoader menu.

To access the files on the Xii-Boy Ultra’s MicroSD card, power off the portable. Then, connect it to a computer using a USB-C cable.

Cable Compatibility

A USB-C to USB-C cable often will not work; try a USB-A to USB-C cable instead.
