Hi,
I followed the "Softmod Any Wii" guide on www.wiihacks.com. To cut to the chase, when I use my portable USB HDD with USB Loader GX, everything works perfectly fine. However, when I try to use my Sandisk Cruzer Blade 32GB flash drive, USB Loader GX freezes at random points like when opening the menus, starting a game and even at "initializing USB". Both USB Loader GX and my games are stored on the USB drive. Even if no games are on the flash drive, it still freezes; so the problem is related to running USB Loader GX on the flash. It also freezes in WiiFlow and USB Loader CFG.
I tried just putting my games on the USB and using an SD card to start USB Loader GX and then it works fine. The only way I was able to get it to work with only the flash drive inserted was by formatting the drive as NTFS and using it with USB Loader CFG. The setting "ntfs_write = 0" must be set in the config file else it freezes. So seems it could be a problem with writing to the flash - and no, write protection is not on and none of the files are set to read-only.
Problem with "ntfs_write = 0" is that I cannot install my other games or save any config settings from within the loader (as it cannot write to the USB). Plus, I really prefer to use USB Loader GX. I also want to run it from the USB, not from an SD card (so that if the USB is not inserted, it defaults to the system menu using Priiloader else it loads straight into the loader).
Any ideas on how I can get it to work with USB Loader GX ? (I can provide additional information).
Thanks
