    Hacking ** USB HD Spindown Issues and Answers **

    I'm having a spin down isue with a WD 500GB external hard drive. I disassembled it to connnect via SATA and configure APM through hdparm but the changes i make aren't being kept after the drive resets. Does anyone have a solution for this? Is there any program that can set APM permanently?

    Hardware WD Elements 500GB USB loader, USB power issue

    So i took the drive apart so i could connect it internally via sata and configure using hdparm, only none of the settings i make are persistent over reset, effectively a big waste of time. Is there any way to change settings like auto power management (the thing i now believe to be causing the...

    Hardware WD Elements 500GB USB loader, USB power issue

    Well i tired a number of HDD programs, HDScan, CrystalDisk, but none are able to set the APM setting permanently, keeps resetting itself. hdparm is only able to configure drives connected by sata as far as i can tell, so it seems there's no solution

    Hardware WD Elements 500GB USB loader, USB power issue

    Apparently my drive isn't compatible with WD smartware so there's no way i know of to change the settings. Any third party program that might work? Also tried it with a USB Y cable and it's doing exactly the same thing, no noticeable difference woe, what to do..? It's odd that it works fine...

    Hardware WD Elements 500GB USB loader, USB power issue

    tried that, wouldn't even work with usb loader gx. it's odd cause it mostly works, but then i'll play a game like taiko no tatsujin (japanese rhythm game), play a song fine until near the end and then controls start to cut out and kick back in when the drive spins up again to load more data...

    Hardware WD Elements 500GB USB loader, USB power issue

    Hey all, got a new HDD, WD Elements 500GB USB powered, using it with cfg usb loader, but having some issues. It runs fine on pc but with the Wii it tends to cut out and then restart, or at least that's the best way i can describe it. I'm thinking it's not getting enough power form USB. Would...

    Hacking Ripping to NTFS drive

    Yeah but you're talking ripping using a computer disc drive right? I mean ripping straight onto hard drive using the wii itself. Don't you need one from a short list of specific drives to read wii discs?

    Hacking Ripping to NTFS drive

    I understand it isn't presently possible to rip a Wii game disc to an NTFS formatted hard drive, but is it something we can expect to see soon, or at all? If not I presume this is the only pro FAT32 has over NTFS and i will probably go with FAT32 for my new drive. Are there any other issues i...

    Hacking cMIOS clashing with modchip?

    using latest neogamma, cios rev17, GC games spin up, disc ID is displayed, screen goes green, Wii disc slot LED flashes and then it resets. no luck could possibly be the burn media used, except i'm sure these exact burns have worked before, just not not.

    Homebrew MPlayerCE forwarder channel

    looking for a good forwarder channel for MPlayer CE, any favourites? other good forwarder channels are welcome too. i like having homebrew apps right on the wii menu rather than having to load up homebrew channel. note: not looking for multi-app forwarder, just dedicated MPlayer one.

    tried that but hermes cios installer doesn't seem to work on my wii, just hangs after you select the base IOS, tried it many times. i managed to find a .wad dump of hermes cios202 which i've been using, but i assume it's not the latest. is the installer bug ever going to be fixed?

    Hacking Megaman 9 DLC Compatability

    the DLC is in a separate WAD. there's one for US NTSC with only protoman mode, as well as one for PAL with protoman and endless mode, both are around if you know where to look. they're not, as far as i know, compatible with different regions.
