    Emulation Hardware Homebrew Wii Not Reading Disc, Is my USB HDD the problem?

    Thank you for responding. Oh, yes I tried Gecko that same night and it didn't work. But today my disc channel does work. My HDD isn't plugged in and I'm not risking anything so I didn't try to mount it. I did attempt to use a Y-Cable but it didn't work. The HDD USB powers on and the games do...

    Emulation Hardware Homebrew Wii Not Reading Disc, Is my USB HDD the problem?

    Sorry for the late reply. LOL No, I can't do anything on USBloaderGX that involves my disc drive. I just had another incident when I believe I had fixed the problem by replacing the AC Adapter. My disc drive could read disc again and my HDD USB backups were working wonderfully. Last night...

    Emulation Gaming Hardware Homebrew Wii Randomly Not Reading Discs, USBloaderGX acting weird. (I think my HDD is the problem.)

    Okay thanks for making that distinction.

    Emulation Gaming Hardware Homebrew New WD Elements 1TB works on UsbLoaderGX BUT will I need a Y-Cable to avoid long-term issues?

    Hey, guys. I just bought a 1TB Western Digital drive for my modded Wii and I formatted using Guiformat and converted it to MBR using Windows Cmd Prompt. I was having problems until I get all these things and now it works but I'm worried. I've been hearing that 3.0 is not super compatible with...
