Homebrew Error Loading Directory on Wii64/Not64 on Wii

[Lance47]

This is very rare...
Are you using HDD or SDHC (AKA Micro SD wth adapter) that doesn't work...

I'm actually just using USB right now but the SD was indeed a SDHC. My USB sticks are a 32 GB Sansdisk and a 64 GB PNY both formatted to Fat32

SDHC won't work, use a normal usb and test it, that should work.

I'm currently using the USBs, That's what I'm having issues with and I tried it on both of em so I don't know what the hell the problem is. Are there any other N64 emulators for wii out there?

Bump

Don't bump posts that are active.

Make sure your drive doesn't have hidden partitions on it. The FAT32 partition generally has to be the first (or only) one on the drive and it needs to be a primary partition, not logical. For most homebrew the drive also needs to MBR and not GPT.

How would I got about resolving that? or checking it

Disk Management in Windows or Disk Utility on macOS should show the partitions and what type they are. If you right click on the drive (on the left, not the graph of the partitions) and go to Properties>Volumes it will tell you if the drive is MBR or GPT. macOS's Disk Utility should just show that when you select the drive.

So my Sansdisk USB is an MBR which should be compatible with Not64/

 

[GreyWolf]

MBR should be. Does it show only one FAT32 partition?

As far as I know yes, Under Partition Style it simply says Master Boot Record

 

[M44]

Having the same issue. Did you ever figure it out Lance47?

 

[Andrewm2211]

Ok finally figured this out, havig the same issue and being ultra annoyed!

looked at the error long enough i realized something.
We are creating the roms folder inside the not64 folder, and putting roms in it. That's WRONG

In root of the SD you need to create a folder called "not64" and add a folder in there called "roms" and put your roms in there. Don't put it inside the apps folder. You keep the aplication in the apps folder, but the not the roms folder.

Don't know why they did it this way as it's ultra confusing.

so the Not74 app is

sd:/apps/not64

Roms go here
sd:/not64/roms

[Christruction]

Wait wdym? Aren’t you just doing the same thing by putting the Roma file in not64

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Wait wdym? Isn’t the same your putting the roms file in not64

 

[SuleX]

I have the same problem? Not64/Wii64 was working for me until one day it decided to have the same error as
Lance47.

 

[Kultin]

I tried all kind of stuff for not64 to load a rom. Even wii64 will not load roms. Everything else works, sega, snes. Yabause says no files available. Fceugx cannot read sd but fceugx RX works just fine. Using a micro sd with adapter. Fceugx was working and then it wasnt. Have deleted and reinstalled the the non working apps through hbc.
