I don't mean to be rude, but why do we need all this? Loadiine/The Homebrew Launcher/libwiiu, whichever one of them is stopping native USB support, should have it built-in. What's the problem here?
No; it's limited to 32GB, at SD speeds.

There won't be native USB support, until IOSU has been publicly hacked.
I'm hoping someone smarter than me will buy one and reverse-engineer the hardware for SDXC!
Alright, here is my verdict. It works to some degree but not the way we would like it to. My first test was with a 8GB sandisk usb stick. It worked but took 20 minutes to load Captain Toad(it is really slooooooow). I connected the usb stick to my computer to see if it was an issue with the stick itself or the mobidapter. I uploaded a file from my pc to the stick and got an average speed of about 6MB/sec(it's an old stick). I then connected the stick to the mobidapter and the adapter to the pc and transferred the same file to the stick. I got a speed of around 150KB on average which is much slower. My second test was with the sd card I usually use to play wii u games(64 GB micro sd formatted in fat 32) in a usb card reader connected to the mobidapter connected to the wii u. It wasn't able to read the card at all. I then connected the same setup to my pc and a prompt appeared saying that that the card had to be formatted in order to be used. I tried to format said card(that was still inserted in the mobidapter)in fat32 with fat32format and the mobidapter was only seeing 32GB off the whole thing( I usually don't have a problem formatting a sdxc card of whatever capacity to fat32. I removed the sd card and plug it in my computer directly and successfully formatted it in fat32 again(which it was in the first place and the PCs was seeing the whole 64GB this time). I put it back in the mobidapter and once again, it asked me to format it which I did(with only 32GB available). I then tried this card in the wii u and got similar loading speed with Captain Toad(around 20 minutes). My third test was with a external HDD(320GB my passport with y cable for additional power draw). It was pretty similar to the other results(mobidapter forced me to format it with only 32 GB available and similar loading speed). My last test was with a 1TB Seagate HDD with power supply. This one didn't work at all and wasn't recognized no matter what. The only thing I have left to try is if I can partition the 320GB HDD in 10x32GB Fat32 partitions and see if I can load anything from there by changing the game path in loadiine. So all in all, it looks like the mobidapter is really slow and that this device is actually limited to 32 GB regardless of the sd card/usb drive size/file system. Not worth it unfortunately.

Fuck, I ordered one last night...
Guess I will send it back (when it arrives) and wait like everyone else...
Thanks for your report, man!
I still feel like this could be good for reverse-engineering purposes (i.e. see what pins go where and if there's any "special" hardware inside to convert between SD and USB)

They do not refund, only give credit. Not too happy about this purchase and it's slow ass speeds.
Only credit? WTH they got to sell that is worth getting? If you got it with paypal reverse it, and if it is with a credit card, let the credit card company handle it. They make it seem like they a store you can just visit and use your credit with.
I'm confused. I use a 128gb Sandisk Ultra MicroSD card, inserted into a SD card to MicroSD adapter in my wii u I have 119gb of space available, after i format it via fat32 64gkb cluster
So how come people are saying the wii u size limit is 32gb when i have currently 18 games sitting on my 128gb microSD card, all accessible by loadiine!

wii u can detect sd cards up to 256gb
also its not people who say the limit is 32gb, its nintendo themselves, not surprising
They're not saying the wii u is limited to 32gb. They're saying the mobidapter is limited to 32gb. Everyone knows you can put up to 256 gb sd cards in the wii u and it will work just fine
OOh! heh heh Then i was reading the original post, wrong. Sorry fellas. Thanks for clearing that up for me.
Speaking of 256gb SD Cards, have they went down in price, yet?
I'm looking into getting one but they are too expensive since the last time i searched. you guys have to sites with some deals and steals?

If anyone has one that they would like to sell please let me know. I am aware of the speed issues etc but need it for a development project. Any help will be most appreciated!
