I've been using the cfg usb loader for awhile now, and its been great. I recently bought two devices, a Buffalo HD-HXU3 (1TB) and a Kingston FCR-HS3 multicard reader. These are both USB3 devices, and makes writing so much faster! I haven't tested the card reader on the Wii yet, because I believe the same problem would happen.
- When I connect the card reader, I get 4 empty drives appearing on my PC's disk management utility. Obviously, they are all all removable media. This will be nice to use with SDXC cards someday.
- When I connect the Buffalo, I get two new drives appearing. The first is removable media, a read-only disk containing tools/exe's for the Buffalo drive. The 2nd is the 1TB disk. I've formatted that 1TB in WBFS and copied a number of files onto it, and thats when I discovered the 500 file limit. Thats beside the point; the cfg usb loader is only finding the first disk on the USB device, and not the 2nd. They're not partitions, in case you're wondering. The usb loader has options for selecting which partition, and which device, but makes the assumption that only one disk is available per device, and this is the problem.
Is it possible to have the cfg usb loader select which disk, and if only one disk is found, default to that? If multiple disks are found, ask the user which to select? This would be a very nice modification of source, and enable other devices (such as multi-card readers) as well.
