Hey, I'm getting the error mentioned in the title.

I use a Wii U, modded with tiramisu, nintendont files are properly placed in the SD card, and using a forwarder found here, because I'd like to use the gamepad as a controller.
My games are on a 1TB external drive, formatted as FAT32, connected with a Y cable, the games are properly placed (I used Gamecube Backup Manager as well), and the games do appear properly when using the vWii and other loaders.
Can anyone help?

Maybe try formatting a thumb drive as FAT32? I've seen it mentioned in other threads where folks are specifying/playing with allocation size selections or using different tools to achieve FAT32 on large drives. If it were me I would try various different media and software to try and rule out if it's an external media issue. My two cents.

you cant use fat32 usb with nintendont on wiiu mode, only if you enter vwii and use there, the wii injects on wiiumode hijack usb storage code to wiiu formated hdd no wii side emulators with injects is able to use fat32 usb only sd card.

So here is your options
Install a single gc game in wiiu formated drive as an inject and run it from there
use fat32 sd card plus nintendont inject
enter vwii and you can use fat32 usb.
