Having a bit of trouble playing games off of my HDD

[ OLD RESOLVED ISSUE ]

Spoiler

So, here's the story, haven't touched my Wii for 2 years, recently I wanted to play games like Twilight Princess, Super Paper Mario, and Brawl/Brawl+.
So I went to go put one of the game discs in, gave me a disc read error, went to put another one in, same error. At that moment I
remembered that my Wiis dvd drive didn't work anymore, either the laser went bad or something else. So I came here to search for a way to play
my games, I found out about USB Loaders. I figured that my softmod was a bit outdated since I haven't touched my wii in a while, so
I looked up a guide on how to softmod a wii, found this guide, followed it from beginning to end, installed everything it told you to, at the end it said that I would be all set and ready
to play games off my USB. At that point I went to my friend place who has a Wii with a working DVD drive to rip my games to my HDD. After that I
sat down, hooked up my HDD to my Wii, launched Cfg-Loader, and tried to launch Brawl, I waited for about half a minute before it gave me Brawls
" An Error has occurred, Press the eject button " screen. I thought it could have been a bad dump, so I tried to launch another game, same error.
Another game, same error. I don't understand why that happens, I'm pretty sure I set everything up correctly, I know my HDD is compatible, it's on the compatibility list. I also tried to launch the games with the other loaders, USB Loader GX and WiiFlow, still received the same errors.

I don't know if it would help, but here is a sysCheck ( It might look a little messy since after the 2nd time I did the guide I just started looking things up,
trying several suggestions )

EDIT : Forgot to say, I tried this with my drive formatted as WBFS, FAT32, and NTFS.
EDIT 2 : Oh yeah, I also did quite a bit of searching, couldn't find anyone with the same problem I have.

[ NEW ISSUE ]

Spoiler

So, after doing a little more research and using the wonderful search tools available,
I found out that the Wii has to detect a DVD drive for it to work correctly.
Now I figured that couldn't be my problem, but the Wii did seem a little lighter
than it should be, so I cracked it open and what do you know, no DVD drive.
No idea where it could be, remember, haven't touched the thing for two years.

So launching games via USB Loaders is out of the picture,
but I also just learned about UNEEK+DI, which is an emulated firmware that supports launching games
from an HDD through the disk channel ?
I would be fine using that, but would it be possible to get Brawl+ to work with that ?
I still have the .wbfs files of my game discs that I had my friend rip, I know
it's possible to convert those to .iso .

I'm not even sure if this new issue would fit into this specific forum...

I learned about the Wii needing to be able to detect the DVD drive from here

_{I got UNEEK+DI running with JoyFlow, I'm going to see if I can load the codeset for brawl+ using that.}
Eh, there are too many lines for JowFlow to handle ): , but I'm fine with just using Texture Hacks.

Thread can be closed now.
