Lemme guess... you followed a YouTube tutorial and used WBFS partition, right?

If not, simply put it in a PC and Assign a Letter and THEN format it to whatever (NTFS or FAT) and THEN format to FAT32.

you dont want to let the wii u format it btw

the wii u expects that connected hard drives will have to be in the wii u's proprietary encrypted filesystem format, it's not expecting fat32 or ntfs drives to be used (because those are only a piracy thing for wii side)

so when it sees a drive connected that isnt in the wii u format, it wants to format it before it's usable as usb storage

you can use ustealth to hide the drive which will prevent wii u menu from seeing it, while usb loader gx can still use it

  • Veho @ Veho:
    What's the point of "confirming" games you know will get released. Like Nintendo "confirming" a Zelda sequel. "We can't be sure Nintendo is working on a new Zelda game, or if a new Zelda game will ever be released, until they officially confirm it."
