    2 drive enclosure?

    Good evening, I recently inherited a new Wii U because of the "eShop closing" and it becoming "useless". I figured this time around I'd try to do things a bit prettier than my existing ugly setup, but wanted a sanity check first and foremost. I know for Wii U I need (1) drive, and for...

    Hmm. In theory all I should need on the SD card is /apps/usb_loadergx though I thought? HBC and all cIOS are installed within vWii, and the game themselves are on the 2nd disk. I may be missing something here, but I thought that was all I would need.

    Hacking The Definitive vWii Hacking Guide!

    Well F. Tried a 1 GB SD card (from my Wii) and same thing. So current status is: - I can load Homebrew Channel (in vWii) - I can execute "USB Loader GX" - The only way a drive is detected within USB Loader GX is by using the front (2) USB ports (either configuration works) - Once a game is...

    Very possible. I'm eager to find out for sure. Piecing together some of the information from memory (it was 2+ years ago since I modded the WiiU), either this guide had been updated or I used something else to get the Homebrew Channel installed originally. Referencing this guide, I am about...

    Swapping drives I think is a bit of a moot point -- brand new WD 1TB drive with a generic enclosure and new Y cable. I did end up wiping it entirely, reformatted it again (use the partitioning/stealth guide on page 1) and re-copying over all Wii/GameCube games. I haven't had a chance to do...

    Hacking The Definitive vWii Hacking Guide!

    So I tried every combination of USB port on the Wii, including using a USB power adapter on the Y cable... and now the drive won't detect in USB Loader GX at all anymore... I may end up wiping the disk and reformatting and trying again... but... everything did still look legit in Windows. Also...

    All good. I even ended up reversing them just for kicks -- same result :-(

    Hacking The Definitive vWii Hacking Guide!

    I will try the 2nd end of the Y cable in an external USB power brick when I get home, but I would think this would be an "all or nothing" situation -- if it was a power issue, I wouldn't expect it to be able to sufficiently read the boot screen, or the contents of the disk in the first place...

    Hacking The Definitive vWii Hacking Guide!

    Morning all, I dug through about half of this thread and didn't find many mentioned of the issue I'm running into. I'm on 5.5.3 and for whatever, I suddenly seem to really care about getting USB Loader GX working properly inside of the vWii. I used "d2x-v10-beta52-vWii" for 56/57/58 w/ slot...
