    thanks. Tried that (and using a mechanical HDD) now and still no game is appearing in USBLoaderGX. I dug through the menus of USBLoaderGX and it can see both my HDD and my thumb drive in the HDD settings, I've got both USB ports to be recognised by the program but still no game is showing in...

    Hacking NOOB PARADISE - ask away

    thanks that looks easy to do, to update the iOS'. Once ModMii has updated the iOS', is that and USBLoaderGX all I need in order to play Wii and GC backups via USB hard drive?

    Hacking NOOB PARADISE - ask away

    thank you. Is that made obvious by USBLoaderGX? Or do I need to run "DOPMii" as per this guide: https://www.lifehacker.com.au/2010/04/how-to-back-up-and-play-your-wii-games-from-an-external-hard-drive/ or is now "modMii" better? struggling to find the latest revision of the guides.

    Hacking What's my best option for my M3 DS Simply?

    Ah ok, cheers :) turned off real time protection from Win defender to unzip the files :) Can I assume I just paste the contents of the archive into a blank SD card? Bit thin on the ground on 1 and 2GB sd cards, everything knocking around my house is 8GB+ these days, how times have changed :rofl2:

    Hacking 3DS NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

    thank you. I have 9.7 so I hope this will work. Will I come to learn what things like emunands and sysnands are from just playing roms? Or is that for more advanced applications like emulators etc?
