Hey guys,
I want to apologize to you first before I state my problem. I'm sure you guys get a TON of repetitive question and issues on here and I know it can sometimes be a drag but I just wanna thank you guys for all that you've done in the NDS/Wii (and others) hacking scene as it's benefited both myself and a ton of other people.
So on to my problem. I've done some searching on this issue but only found one thread about it, and he managed to fix it somehow but I have no idea how he did it. Basically last Friday I finally managed the courage to install Dios Mios onto my Wii and play some of my favorite Gamecube games off my 500GB External USB Hard Drive. I first tested it out with Mario Kart: Double Dash!! via USB Loader GX and it worked flawlessly. Then Mario Party 7, Super Mario Sunshine, Mario Power Tennis, and finally The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker.
All these games worked 100% perfectly without a single glitch or hiccup along the way. Skip a few days until yesterday (Tuesday) where I decide I want to start a playthrough on Super Mario Sunshine. I click on the game and the DIOS MIOS splash screen appears...and that's it. I tried it again, same deal. I tried a different game, same problem.
In fact, all my games are doing this except Mario Power Tennis for some odd reason. I've tried deleting the game and putting it back on my HDD. I've tried re-installing Dios Mios. I've even tried using GCReEx instead of DiscEX and still nothing. It just sits there frozen at the DIOS MIOS splash screen.
I should note that I barely understand Wii hacking. As much as I try to understand it, all this talk about wads and like updating the IOS stuff is daunting and I don't wanna risk bricking my Wii, you know?
I'm pretty certain I have an old version of DIOS MIOS and USB Loader GX so that could be the issue...but I'm not exactly sure if I do..and if I do, I have no idea how to update them.
So any thoughts or suggestions on how to properly do this would be greatly appreciated!
TL;DR - Using USB Loader GX and DIOS MIOS to load GC games from my 500GB External HDD, all of the GC games end up freezing on the DIOS MIOS splash screen except for Mario Power Tennis.
Thanks for reading!
EDIT: I forgot to mention: yes the hard drive is formatted to FAT32 with a 32KB cluster.
