it's not Fix94 who did the forwarder.
and the one looking for the dol is not the WiiU forwarder, but the vWii forwarder.
the vWii forwarder (coded by USBGX team) is looking at both SD and up to 8 USB FAT32 or NTFS partitions, but like I said : don't expect the USB to be properly initialized when launched from WiiU mode. it's not a forwarder issue, it's a WiiU problem.
look how many other users have USB initialization problem when launching from wiiu, but not vwii. (ok, not as much as people using flash drive, but here is one :
here )
it works, if you plug the HDD while you are in vWii mode, and the drive is not stealth.
Is your vWii drive hidden with Ustealth? did you try without hiding it? just to know if there's a difference.
edit:
What's the problem with having an SD card inserted?
really, if you know how to fix your problem, why try to not use the working method and expect to do it the way it doesn't work?
people should really really use SD card ! and all problems will be gone. but, apparently, everyone like having problems and keeping them.
it's the same with "I use flash, I know it doesn't work, please .... how can I use incompatible flash anyway instead of just not using an incompatible device?" and we have to help users do what they want instead of them doing what they must.
There really wasn't a, "problem" as you put it with using an SD card. I just wanted to use the app without the elf being on the Sd card.
And i didn't, "know how to "fix" my "problem" i put that in quotations as it wasn't a "problem" per se or something that needed to be, "fixed". I was requesting a option and nothing more.
Had i given up and stopped at your advice, i would have had no choice but to use the only option available but i am not the type to give up easily, until I've exhausted every resource at my disposal.
Sometimes, its not always about someone just wanting things to work the way they want, more than them knowing its possible but nobody asked if it was possible or if it could be done.
I am that person that did that very thing by asking several people...
First person i talked to was a user on discord by the name of, "Asterisk". He helped me perform a task, unrelated to this.
2nd person i talked to was a user by the name of, "cucholix" I asked him who was the author of USB Loader GX and i thought he said it was FIX94 but it actually turns out, that FIX94 didn't create USB LoaderGX.
So i asked him if FIX94 was still on irc so i can talk to him. He then invited me to the discord, where FIX94 was a member.
From there i asked FIX94 is this was possible and from there, me and another user by the name of, "NexoCube" Beta Tested 22 version until a working version was compiled by FIX94.
So in summary,sometimes its a good thing for one to ask if something can be done or if this possible.
if everyone follows your logic of, "everyone only accept the option available to them and never ask for any other options, other than what is being offered" then no progression will occur.
Sometime, this is the only thing it takes for a option, variation or feature to come into existence. My situation is a perfect example of this...
So with all due respect to you, maybe next time, don't be so harsh on a user if they have requests of a app to do something, that it may not originally be able to do at first but could possibly be implemented, if a person only asked or requested it, a person like me!
However, the information you provided was 100% correct as it pertained to what you knew about the limitations and options of the apps involved, so i understood that you were just telling me what was possible and what wasn't. Good job in that aspect.
