    Gaming 256GB SDXC on Wii???

    Hmmm, I use full size SD cards, so I haven't run into any issues, but I might test the loading speed between them just to have fun. I'm contently swapping chips around, so I haven't really taken notice. I'm used to it taking time to populate (at least the first time on each unit) and should...

    Gaming 256GB SDXC on Wii???

    Hahaha, forgot this thread even existed. Just got a LIKE from it, read my post and realize I should update it. No change to how things work, just that I've since updated to a 1TB SD card and it works great. I'll add this update to the first page.

    Tutorial How to use a larger than 2TB Hard Drive on a Wii as a Single FAT32 Partition

    @XFlak & @blackb0x - Another couple days and 3 more fully working 5TB Western Digital Passports. Man I have no luck at all getting them not to work, lol. Maybe it's not me and whoever didn't get them to work was doing it wrong. Oh well, I needed the drives anyways. Maybe the next drive I get...

    Hacking Nintendont

    Can't help you with what you're looking for but have to agree that's my favorite nintendont boot screen version as well. Guess I need to get around to modding my Wii U's. If you come across it, please share a link to it for the rest of us.

    Tutorial How to use a larger than 2TB Hard Drive on a Wii as a Single FAT32 Partition

    Yes it does get complicated. However there are specific instructions on Page 1 that need to be followed. I have only certain Western Digital drives working through this method and WD Quick Formatter and FAT32 GUI Formatter seem to work in getting them setup correctly. I'll need to add in a...

    Tutorial How to use a larger than 2TB Hard Drive on a Wii as a Single FAT32 Partition

    @XFlak - New (to me), ok used 4TB -0A Passport arrived yesterday. I suspect it will convert using my method but we'll see if the firmware issue is present. I specifically went after -0A drives because I believe it's a reference to the firmware version on the drives. All of my Passports & P10...

    Tutorial How to use a larger than 2TB Hard Drive on a Wii as a Single FAT32 Partition

    Agreed. Not sure if this information helps, but the WD Quick Formatter software was originally intended to make a drive backwards compatible to work with Windows XP. I had tried so may ways to get a WD 4TB My Book formatted over to FAT32 being able to use the entire drive and I almost gave up...

    @blackb0x - Moving our conversation here so others might be able to contribute. With your upcoming project thought I'd provide a list of drives I've tried that I still have. There were a lot more similar to these drives listed and bought about the same time, but they were given away with...

    Tutorial How to use a larger than 2TB Hard Drive on a Wii as a Single FAT32 Partition

    Taken longer than I'd expected, but I finally found my test Wii's in storage, 3 of them last week and the 4th yesterday. Been a few years now and miss messing around with it. Hooked up now and ready to start testing things again. Spent the last couple days setting a 1TB SDXC card up to play...

    Tutorial How to use a larger than 2TB Hard Drive on a Wii as a Single FAT32 Partition

    @ballpointken - What was your outcome? 1759188442 Sorry, I never got around to SSDs. I was going to get back into this, including SSDs, but since moving in March I can't seem to find my items. Not lost, just in one of three storage areas. For the Samgung t7 have you tried formatting it to...

    Tutorial How to use a larger than 2TB Hard Drive on a Wii as a Single FAT32 Partition

    Maybe: 1) A full level format instead of a quick format and then re-partitioning might help you get the drive back to where you had it. 2) Use something like EaseUS Partition Manager and make sure there are no fragments or unallocated space like an "*" still showing on the drive. If there is...

    Not that I know of. I had not continued further development on this and am now just getting back into things. @XFlak had asked me to try out a few things, but I was busy with work and a new relationship. Now some 3 years later we're married and settling into our new place. My goal is to be...

    GameCube Games issues on Nintendont.

    You're find with large SD cards as long as they are from a reliable maker, and you format them properly. I have used all kinds of sizes over the years and my main one right now is a PNY 512GB. I only buy PNY, SanDisk & Lexar. I'll try a 1TB once prices drop below $100 on one of them.
