Soft modding a Wii and I'm having an issue using Nintendont. I have the latest version installed and it does not seem to see my HDD. Games are all installed and named properly per the Nintendont thread. The drive works fine in USB Loader GX and GX also sees the games and allows me to select them, configure them, and start them. Nintendont then loads and everything appears to go well. However, it gets to "Loading In..." and the whole console just shuts off. There shouldn't be any problem with the isos because my brother is using the exact same ones.

I've tried loading Nintendont via HBC and get a message that it can't detect the games folder (which is definitely there). The HDD is also formatted per the instructions (MBR, FAT32, 32k clusters).


Edit*

I opted to put on my games on my SD card and everything seems to be working well from there

1. Make sure they're named properly ("/games/game title [gameid]/game.iso") and that you didn't end up with "game.iso.iso".
2. Make sure there are no hidden partitions on the drive like virtual CDs or an EFI partition.

As above = No (for game title).
The "game.iso" is the game title.
The folder (as above) - The ID has the "[xxxxxx]".

There are other ways of naming folders & files, but you will be limited to using Nintendont on it's own (directly).

Are you using a Y-USB cable to provide your HDD with more current?

Probably your drive requires more current that the USB port on the Wii console can't provide and when your drive goes at full speed makes the console shut down for security.

Some HDDs shut down when not in use after some time, I believe you can disable that option in the USB loader.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
