Hi I was wondering if it was possible to use the front usb ports on the Wii u with a Y cable hooked up to an external hdd. I have a Y cable already on the back two ports with a 500gb hdd and everything works great. Thanks.
yes they work the same in the front.Hi I was wondering if it was possible to use the front usb ports on the Wii u with a Y cable hooked up to an external hdd. I have a Y cable already on the back two ports with a 500gb hdd and everything works great. Thanks.
Yes it will work. But..
From my experience, you cannot install games with wup installer when the HDD is connected to the front.
Are you sure? I tried with 2 wiiu and it keep freeze during the installation.I think there may be some glitches with the front, but you can install games from it.
I use y cable in the front and the HDD works fine for all wiiu games, but it seems I can't install anything using wup installer, so I'm forced to remove the HDD for the vWii connected in the back and connect the HDD for the wiiu instead everytime I want to install new game.it's the only way I've ever installed games.
