you can have both conencted, but your Wii HDD must be set as hidden using U Stealth

Thanks. I do use UStealth but I thought there was another issue, I'm mistaken.

I will take a closer look at this now. And a big thanks as well to Fix94 for all your hard and excellent work!

Both of my external HDDs are powered so is there any issue using a nonpowered USB hub? I just ordered a LAN adapter finally and want to keep the front ports free for GC controllers.

Dunno if a hub will do the trick.
I myself connected my 2 HDD to the back USB ports, and used a Y cable to connect both powering USB plug to a USB power device (wall plug).
Well, i hope it's clear enough ^^

But keep in mind that Nintendont won't work with two drives being connected at the same time.
Ah, interesting. I assume USBLoader GX is really running Nintendont in the background (so to speak). So even though I don't use Nintendont directly this could be a problem?

Amazon has some 4 port hubs with individual switches on them I suppose would work, would just have to get my butt off the couch or more importantly train the kids to get their butt off the couch when switching. :)

Yeah even launching GC games through USB Loader GX won't work with two HDDs.

You could - of course - buy a switch and a whip and let your kids to what has to be done. Or you wait patiently just a few more days until Dimok releases his FAT32 support for Mocha CFW so you can install Wii U games with WUP installer to one FAT32 drive that is already containing your Wii and GC games. ;)

I dont really understand the benefit of this tool. What is the difference between launching the homebrew launcher + hbl2hbc and launching the vWii + hbc?

no problem unless you run Nintendont and launch a game

regarding hubs, Wii U is 100% compatible with my 7-port hub (external AC), but vWii isn't, some apps (including USB Loader GX) don't detect a HHD connected to a hub. You could try it tho, maybe there was something wrong with my setup.

@Tommy084
My question is, how do we find the title ID for homebrew forwarders? Is there an app we can use to look through our installed channels and view their title ID?
I'm just hoping to get the title ID for the Wiiflow forwarder. I use it for both Wii and Gamecube games.

Edit: Looks like GameTDB has it. And even the Wiiflow wiki shows the title ID HERE

could you give me a link to that? I tried 4 different versions of AnyTitle Deleter, all crash on start.

Is there any other way to find out your channel ids? Im looking for USB Loader GX- and Nintendont- forwarder ids.

Will hlb2hbc make it possible to use Nintendont with the Wii U Pro Controller or with the Wii U Gamepad?
