I am looking to purchase a 3TB hard drive, and was wondering would a partition work on the hard drive? Its only $10 extra from the 2TB hard drive, and with the extra 1TB I could possible store photos or even switch nsps on there. Advice?
Hacking Can a partitioned hard drive work for backed up games

I mean, 1tb hard drive is only like $15 less than 2tb. And I also want to install wii and gamecube games using injector, so I'm sure I can put it on the same hard drive.
And plus, maybe in the future I might take my 2tb hard drive and use it for something else and switch wii u to a smaller 1tb hard drive if i find one in a deal...
IIRC 2 TB is the limit anyway, but I could be remembering wrong. But as said above unless you're trying to have every single Wii U game and every Wii game etc... you will not need more than 2 TB. But also as said above, you cannot use that hard drive for anything but the Wii U as the Wii U has it's own format so no partitions will work.
You could, it is based off how much stuff you want to install, if only couple hundred GB, the 2TB is kinda over kill, so it is up to yourself, only if you install a lot then it is worth it.
I have a 750gb and I have the Wii U's limit of 300 games, some are small like DS N64 but the rest are Wii U, Wii and Gamecube, and I have almost 200 gb of space left.
Yeah you can't exceed 300 games on the Wii U with a hard drive.

@AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.+2 -

Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other. -

I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.

I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.+1 -

I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet

Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.

Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol

Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150
