As far as I know this isnt possible. The Wii U will force you to format the drive if it detects a partition that is not in its file format.

With RetroArch installed couldn't I format a 4tb external and have it scan for roms via ftp as well as detect Wii u files?

You can use 1 drive on the WIIU side for anything. You can transfer files to it using FTP. The vWii side would need a different drive.

In other words RetroArch doesn't have the right core to scan Wii files?

It is possible to use one drive if you install all your Wii and GC games as vWii injects. Will be along process though as you will have to create the inject for every game. Unsure if it you could store your roms on a Wii U formatted drive and transfer them over via FTP as I haven't tried. You could however setup Wii emulators and use SMB to connect to a shared folder on your pc so you wouldn't have to transfer them at all and just load them over network.

    @K3Nv2, RIP Felix does great videos on the PS3 yellow-light-of-death.
  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme
