I have formatted my 256g usb flash drive to FAT32 as instructed. However when I enter usb loader gx on my original white wii, I get an error saying "Usb Device Not Initialized". I used wii backup manager to transfer my wbfs games. And I put my flash drive in the slot closest to the edge of my wii. Does anyone know why this occurs for me? If so, how do i fix it?

Hello,
the usb keys work badly with the wii (often black screen or never start)
Use an external hard drive and it should work fine.
post a syscheck report here (link in my signature), please, your hack may not be up to date, thanks

This.
Also sometimes formatting small thumb drives as wbfs instead of fat32 improves compatibility
yes, but nothing beats an external hard drive
, as they say you have to test several kinds of format with the USB key and see the result.

So what I'm assuming u formatted it to wbfs (like I said here)
Also there are plenty of tools that could format your drive to wbfs, wii backup manager for example can do it and is generally a better tool than wbfs manager
Edit: syscheck looks good enough btw
Do not use that program. It will corrupt your games. Specifically, the corruption happens when adding new games after deleting some.
You can use Wii Backup Manager with a WBFS formatted drive.
You can load GC games from the SD card.

You'll need an SD card to save apps on if your USB is formated as wbfs, unless u manage to successfully parititon it, first partition as fat32 and remainder as wbfs, but this could impact compatibility too so if u try it, you may end up reverting if it doesn't work out as you'd hoped
By using a software like "aomei partition assistant" or others, split the drive into 2 partitions & adjust the capacity for each, then formatting one as wbfs and the other as Fat32. Though i don't know if you can partition usb flash drives? And of course backup your stuff before attempting this.

Modmii has a usb loader setup option to help u partition a drive as partially wbfs and ntfs, u can follow this then as a final step format the second ntfs partition as wbfs using wii backup manager
Ok I formatted the 64g split to FAT32 and the RAW I reformatted to NTFS and then formatted to WBFS through Wii Backup Manager. Now I have a 64g FAT32 split for GC and a 170g split for Wii. Should that work?

@
Sicklyboy:
@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one -
@
Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version

@
TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!

I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it

@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though

@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@

and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -

@The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
