I've found that some drives need to have their partition table nuked and then recreated in order to work with the Wii, such as my 16GB Corsair Flash Voyager needed. I personally use Parted Magic to accomplish such a task.Are some HDDs not compatable with Devo or something? I previously had Devo working fine on a Samsung drive, but I've just bought a WD and all I get now are black screens. No flashes or anything.
My Wii games run off the drive fine, just not the Gamecube ones trough Devo.I've found that some drives need to have their partition table nuked and then recreated in order to work with the Wii, such as my 16GB Corsair Flash Voyager needed. I personally use Parted Magic to accomplish such a task.
Also Devolution doesn't work with modchips, regardless of your hard drive.
Yes, its FAT32...I forgot to mention, Devolution requires a FAT32 partition. Note that Devolution DOES support multiple partitions, so you can have an NTFS one for everything else and a FAT32 one for Devolution.
If you use my "Wifi logging for Windows Dummies", you can have it done in under a minute, and surely less than 5 at worst.Will have to try Wifi logging when I have a bit more time.
Thanks for your reply; only got this WD drive because it was on sale. Guess I'll just stick with my Samsung drive :-(I had the same problem with a western digital drive. USB 3.0. I wondered if that was the issue. Wii games all worked fine, but no dice with Devo. The problematic WD drive was one of those with the stupid adaptor thing, where you could get attachments for different things like USB 2.0, USB 3.0, etc. I was dumbfounded by it, and if you look back in this thread, you'll see me asking about it.
SOLUTION: buy a new hard drive. USB 3.0 has nothing to do with it. I bought a Toshiba USB 3.0 drive and it works flawlessly. Fast as lightning too. Sooooooo, to wrap it up, it sounds like you are having a similar problem to what I was experiencing. Just buy a new Hard drive. Problem solved.
Maybe it would be better to buy a hard drive enclosure? That way once you have a working adapter you could use any hard drive you like.
My Devo log if anyone can make sense?If you use my "Wifi logging for Windows Dummies", you can have it done in under a minute, and surely less than 5 at worst.
