    Homebrew Problems

    I'd still recommend giving Game/Loader IOS 251 a shot (for Game just change it from Auto then it lets you switch it to 251) and USB1 (the lower port) just to see if maybe that'll be what does it. Also curious how you have your drive/partition set up (partition size and sector size in...

    Struggling to get WiiFlow/USBLoaderGX to recognize USB sticks

    thanks! i’ll check this out! I don’t think I could use SDUSB to load (v)Wii games from which is the current struggle (unless I could? I’m not sure how vWii interfaces with Wii U storage) but I do have a 128GB SD card so that would do well for me to have an extra partition for huge games off...

    Struggling to get WiiFlow/USBLoaderGX to recognize USB sticks

    Some updates: Grabbed my Sabrent external SATA enclosure and a spare 256GB HDD, formatted it MBR with a 32GB FAT32 partition (to eliminate as many variables as possible) and set USBLGX back to Loader/Game IOS 249. Games were recognized and loaded as expected. Happy to see it's "working as...

    Struggling to get WiiFlow/USBLoaderGX to recognize USB sticks

    Thanks for the info. This Wii U is quite mobile relatively speaking (I take it with me to events sometimes) which means carrying around a USB HDD is a bit unwieldy and risky. USB sticks are easier and safer to carry around, which is why I’m trying to make it work. As mentioned in a previous...

Open up USBLoaderGX, go to Settings, then Loader settings, then change the Loader IOS and Games IOS to 251. Move the USB stick to the bottom USB port on the rear of the Wii U, then it should read and launch...

    Struggling to get WiiFlow/USBLoaderGX to recognize USB sticks

    Thanks for the reply! The reason I don’t suspect the port as much is because the stick is still recognized and read by vWii with USBLGX in USB0, it’s just that nothing loads. I’ll give this a shot though! I have an external SATA HDD enclosure I could try to use with it assuming that a device of...

    Struggling to get WiiFlow/USBLoaderGX to recognize USB sticks

    Hi there! I've got a Wii U that's been successfully region swapped from Japan to America and region swapped vWii via Decaffeinator. Aroma, EnvironmentLoader, and ISFShax are all installed and active. I don't believe these are contributing factors anymore now that vWii has been restored. vWii...

    Hello! Happy (and a little frustrated) to be here!

    Hi hi hello! My name is mr cheese, aka dog, aka mawggers, and I have some experience modding Wii's recently and also just acquired a Wii U! I've been working on region swapping and modding a Japanese Wii U and have become fairly familiar with its quirks. For instance, the classic "makeshift...
