I'd be careful, I think that might be too high of capacity for it to work. I'd get something slightly lower.wow, so much space ^^
I'll try a 128GB SD Card and then tell if it's working
Alright, sounds goodI want to use the SD Card in both vWii and Wii U mode.
In vWii mode for Homebrew (Wii and GC backups are stored on a 500GB USB Disk)
In Wii U mode for Homebrew and Loadiine (Wii U backups need to be on the SD Card)
Please lemme know if it works. I don't see why it shouldn't, but aside from one person claiming to have gotten a 256GB to work, I've never seen anyone use higher than a 64GB.wow, so much space ^^

Might be a really stupid question, but how do we actually copy games onto our USB HD after formatting to FAT32? I used the BOOTICEx86 utility as suggested, but afterwards, my Windows 7 OS can't recognize the drive as a usable format (hence the prompt to format it). If I choose not to format it, I can't seem to do anything with the drive, which means I can't copy any games onto the drive.
FAT32 should work on all plateform and OS.but how do we actually copy games onto our USB HD after formatting to FAT32?
Look in the Ustealth official thread, at the bottom of the first post there are links to compatible homebrew, and one of them is the Ustealth state switcher.I see that there's a homebrew program that can unhide the HDD, what it is?
Did you make certain your settings on the format screen matched those in the screenshot?
FAT32 should work on all plateform and OS.
But before doing anything to your drive, you should ask more help and let other users know what you currently have and we will find the best thing to do.
Yes, I double checked my settings and it matches.
Afterwards, there is a prompt:
Strange, because I was able to format my SD card to FAT32 and have Windows recognize it successfully (no format prompt). Perhaps there's something strange happening while formatting with Bootice.
Yup, that's my understanding as well. I currently have a 3TB WD My Passport Ultra. I'll play around with it and try formatting to FAT32 through the command-line while I wait for some suggestions. Appreciate the help.
edit : I see that's the tool suggested on the guide. I don't know that tool so I can't say anything about it.
I don't know why partition 1-3 are skipped and only partition 4 is set. Better use partition 1 as some homebrew use the first one. (DM/DML)
When exactly do you see the prompt? Directly after the bootice screen or when you go to the drive on your computer after formatting with bootice?
Iirc, you can't use MBR with drives bigger than 2TB. Try setting it to GUID partition table (GPT) and see if it works correctly. If you update Nintendont and USB Loader GX to their most recent versions per the guide, they recently added GPT support.
After formatting with Bootice. I'm midway through formatting through the cmd prompt, so if that doesn't work then I'll try your tip about GPT. Thanks for the heads up about the Nintendont and USB Loader GX support. I'll report back shortly.
You need a standard SD card, not a SDHC or higher one for the initial hack.
Just the step where you load the homebrew channel.For up to what step? cuz my card was detected by the WII when i coped the save
Goddamn, don't wanna buy a normal SD card for like 3 minutes
