Hi everyone,
I'm new here and also very new to playing backed up wii games. I had my sons wii soft modded and we are currently using a usb thumb drive to play the games, although it is constantly freezing. I'm trying to find a compatible portable usb hard drive to purchase as I was told this is what I needed. I found one but I'm not sure if it'll work. Any advice is appreciated. I will also include a link to the hard drive I'm looking at purchasing.

I have the same drive. Use a piece of software to format at FAT32 and use a Y cable as the wii U doesn't provide enough power to the drive through one port. It works nicely though, no crashes through error of the drive as of yet.

Do you know if the original Wii has enough power to run this correctly without a Y cable?
