Homebrew Apps don't appear on Homebrew Channel

[natanqb]

When i open the homebrew Channel after starting haxchi the apps don't appear, it doesn't freeze, i can still press home and go back to the wii u menu. Im pretty sure i didn't delete anything and everything was working before, anyone has any idea of what might be happening?

sd://wiiu/apps/<app folders>

check u have these

inside the "apps" folder there are folders like loadiine, wiiflow, wupinstaller, d2x_cios-installer and many others. But inside this first "apps" folder there is another "apps" folder that is empty.

Make sure it is SD://wiiu/apps not SD://apps. That one is for wii

i checked and they are on the right folder.

have you checked your sd card for errors? If you have another sd you could put a few homebrews on it and see if they show up on it.

Whenever I had this issue I would format the card with a different allocation size. If you try this make sure you have all the data backed up elsewhere first.

I did it and it worked, thank you.

I have this same issue. Trying to use a 64gb card and no apps showing in the HBC.

apps folder is in the right location.

I've formatted the card and tried again. No joy.

I've got a 16gb card that's working fine. I copy the card to my 64gb... no bananas.

I'm trying to install my disc version of Xenoblade Chronicles X to hdd, so need 20gb of space.

is your sd formatted to fat32 with 32kb clusters?

 

[gcunit]

Don't know about cluster size. Think I've tried default and 64kb.

I've just re-formatted to 32kb. Still no apps showing.

After formatting I just made one folder - 'wiiu', and put the 'apps' folder inside it, then put one app inside the app folder.

I also went into vWii mode to check to see if the SD Card shows up on the home screen, and it does.

The card seems fine. So what gives?

Try using the SD card format tool. That works better then the one Windows uses. Just Google to find the download.

Just tried that too for confirmation. No better. And, fwiw, that tool doesn't even let me choose the cluster size. It just reports afterwards that it's exFAT, 128kb.

Solved. Turns out the man is right.

Anyone else having this problem, I advise you to use this tool - http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?guiformat.htm - i.e. GUIFormat.

The FAT32 version is the only tool I've found that converted it to FAT32. Windows wouldn't do it, neither would the SDA tool.
