If you're an experienced developer, I literally beg you to read this.
I have some 500GB Seagate in a cheap Chinese enclosure. It spins down after ~10 minutes of inactivity and the Seagate software obviously won't fix it. But I have a very duct tape idea to finally stop it. Unfortunately I'm not a developer so I'd ask one to try it.
So my MacGyver idea is this: So the drive spins down after 10 minutes of inactivity. What if the loader, say, USBGX, made a .txt file on the USB HDD and wrote a short string to it every few minutes (adjustable from the menu)? I know, I'm not an experienced developer and I have no idea what I'm talking about, but I'm really desperate about this since I bought a Wii and it's now sitting unused due to games freezing. Well, at least WiiWare works, but that's on the internal NAND, not the USB.
If anyone is willing to implement this feature into USBGX or WiiFlow, I will be very grateful.
