    Hacking Homebrew app Strange issues with USB detection using Loader GX

    I've tried another drive, this time an SSD. Same recommended enclosure, using a y-cable. Drive formatted using Wii Backup Manager in wbfs. Games transferred via the program. Primary cable in slot zero, closest to the edge: not detected in Homebrew settings menu, or by loader GX, or by WiiFlow...

    Hacking Homebrew app Strange issues with USB detection using Loader GX

    Well, I got the Y-cable and tried it in both slots. Port0, homebrew doesn't detect the drive whatsoever, same with gx loader. Port1, homebrew detects the drive, gx loader does not, WiiFlow sees the drive and its contents, but still upon trying to launch anything there's ~15 seconds of black...

    Hacking Homebrew app Strange issues with USB detection using Loader GX

    Replying just to ping cuz I know the thread's been dead a while. And also I searched for a fix to the not being able to play discs issue and found a post from xFlak saying to use xzero's offline installer but I don't see that name or the stickied post that was being referred to. Also I bought...

    Hacking Homebrew app Strange issues with USB detection using Loader GX

    Upon going to BootMii and starting the restore tool, I got notified that as a BootMii OS user it's too dangerous. I looked a little into it and my takeaway is to use priiloader to boot into HBC and then launch BootMii from there.. which is already how it's configured, so now I'm confused there...

    Hacking Homebrew app Strange issues with USB detection using Loader GX

    Argh. Any idea why Wiiflow can see the drive and games within and not LoaderGX? Also, coincidentally on the front page of Facebook.. so maybe not the end of the world. "You could always restore your NAND backup and start over. " Seems like a potentially easy fix. I assume I shouldn't do the...

    But remember, WiiFlow is able to see both the drive and the games within. It just seems to crash upon launching them.

    Hacking Homebrew app Strange issues with USB detection using Loader GX

    "If the HDD from the laptop isn't bad then I think his Wii might have blown fuses or a bad capacitor. So personally I'd suggest trying another donor HDD and then should that also fail maybe it'd be worth trying a USB Y cable or purchasing another Wii from eBay." As in, leave the enclosure, try...

    Hacking Homebrew app Strange issues with USB detection using Loader GX

    I got logged out and the forums just allowed me to type my message, then didn't give me a chance to save or sign in after posting. Soooo you get the image cuz I don't want to retype it all. One other thing is that the "waiting for HDD" in Loader GX appears much later than it did before, to my...

    Hacking Homebrew app Strange issues with USB detection using Loader GX

    I started by using the original download found around the web, then I used the modmii installer to generate it. To my knowledge I've always been on the most up-to-date stuff, so if there's an issue there, I suggest people look into it so that no one else is downloading out-of-date software. I...

    Hacking Homebrew app Strange issues with USB detection using Loader GX

    Thanks for the continued support. I returned the Bipra, and have been using the SABRENT 2.5-Inch SATA to USB 3.0 HDD Enclosure with a 160GB Fujitsu HDD I got out of my roommate's computer. It's perfectly accessible using my computer and laptop. That being said, with the Bipra, the Wii could...

    Hacking Homebrew app Strange issues with USB detection using Loader GX

    On all of them, the program reported waiting for my hard drive. The status LED never flickered. To be clear, within loadergx's settings, I changed the Loader's IOS.

    Hacking Homebrew app Strange issues with USB detection using Loader GX

    Alright, I enabled option H in the settings. When running the wizard, it reported 5 files needed to be downloaded: cIOS202[60]-v5.1R cIOS222[38]-v4 cIOS223[37-38]-v4 cIOS224[57]-v5.1R Yet Another WAD Manager Mod. Using YAAMM, I installed all four successfully and rebooted the Wii. The HDD...

    Hacking Homebrew app Strange issues with USB detection using Loader GX

    Which of these are you referencing? I know I'm getting real nitty-gritty with specifics but it's how I operate. Plus it avoids any potential incorrect choices. Then I assume I use d2x to install them, is there a guide on how to manually provide the chosen files? I'll do another syscheck to...

    Hacking Homebrew app Strange issues with USB detection using Loader GX

    I can't find the classic download page that you're referencing. Also, is there a chance I messed something up during the initial installation, and if so, should I over-write/reinstall? I made a NAND backup right after I did the initial ModMii installation. The new drive/enclosure doesn't seem...

    Oh sweet, I swear I read on some thread during my searching that 3.0 had a chance to introduce some issues and such. That makes things much easier lol.
