I recently bought a Toshiba Canvio 1TB Usb 3.0 for my wbfs backups but Dios Mios won't load any of my GC games it goes erectly to a black screen. I previously had my games on a Sandisk Extreme 32GB flashdrve Fat32 32cluster size and both wii and GC games worked perfectly. I started off the Toshiba as a Ntfs but didn't work then formatted it to Fat32 and got no results. Anyone got any good ideas or was this a bad purchase?

I remember that you needed a FIRST partition to be fat32 with 32KB Cluster, could that be the problem?

Even then, wouldn't be a better idea to use Nintendon't?

Some hard drives just won't work with the wii, I have a hitachi simpledrive 1tb that the will just will not work with, it has a hidden partition that acts as a cd drive when connected to a pc. That is the reason why the wii will not recognise the drive as it sees the first partition. I have tried every sort of format tool to remove the cd partition but with no joy. I've never had a problem with any Western Digital drives so I always recommend them to friends and family who want to mod their wii.

Neo gamma is really old school now.... Even Dios Mios is outdated really.. All the cool kids are using Nintendont

So if I bought a WD My Passport Ultra 2TB USB 3.0 it will be compatible with Dios Mios?

Try with Nintendont, the compatibility of DM is lower with usb

Never learned found any guides on how to go about it but seems interesting whats the difference?

The difference is pretty noticeable. Pretty much every game works with Nintendont (about 10 games do not work). Not to mention the MASSIVE amount of features that Nintendont offers over Devolution and DM. More info here

I can't guarantee that every WD drive will work, you should google for wii hard drive compatibility list, I'm sure there's one round here some where.
As for Nintendont, I can seriously recommend it over every other GameCube loader, it has lots of features and as has been said before it has great compatibility, almost 100% now!!!

    @Kirbydogs, Yea, if Microsoft didn't call the next OS after Windows 8 as Windows 9, then why did they go with Windows 10 if it sounds similar to 1.0? I mean, the reason why they didn't go with 9 was because it would confuse people with 95, 98 and Me being the first three operating systems based on 9x.

    They could still do some online activation thing making it difficult to crack like Ai rerouting bytes of info
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @ZucchiniMaiden, Windows 8's UI was terrible. I like the Start Menu plain and simple; easy to navigate and find your programs in one spot. Whereas Windows 8 completely re-designed it to have massive boxes with pre-loaded crap and you have to navigate all the way to the right to find your programs. Very annoying and not user friendly. Many people complained when it came out, I was still using Windows 7 at the time so I didn't use it at all until later.

    There's also extended updates after its EOL, which requires purchasing a subscription. But that can be easily bypassed anyways so it's not like anybody is going to pay for it, unless you worked in a business like healthcare which are still going to run on an older operating system which relies on older drivers for their equipment.
