Hacking Does Nintendont support WBFS formatted drives

[BecksMacs]

nintendont support wbfs formatted drives?

 

[jeannotte]

only FAT32

No it also supports exfat and other formats, but fat32 is advised for broad compatibility with other apps (and wbfs formatted drives are not supported at all by Nintendont)

Thanks for all of your replies, The reason I use a wbfs formatted drive is bc fat32 won’t work with usbloader gx.

Hum really? I have usb loader gx working on fat32 running GameCube & Wii games . I am away and can’t check but there is a version that works.

And then there's me, an intellectual using CFGLoader Mod with an NTFS-formatted USB HDD for Wii games, with a FAT32 partition for Gamecube games (to keep Nintendon't happy).

Can confirm.

I'd probably like USB Loader GX more if it wasn't trying so hard to be the Wii's main system menu knock-off. It's trying too hard, and just comes off as half-baked ass.

Better yet USB Loader GX creates a virtual nand on your sd card and installs most virtual console for you there.

I'd hate it for that too if Wii games didn't have banners. The banners look wrong without the surrounding Wii Menu stuff.

if you're using a usb drive for usb loader gx, not every flash drive works well with it and one of the possible symptoms is that it wont work when the drive is fat32. but the same drive that doesnt work in fat32 can sometimes work fine if it's specially formatted to wbfs

so if you're okay with continuing to use wbfs, you can stick with that, but if you want to switch to fat32, I would suggest trying different drives

this might be a good place to start

note that newer usb loader gx can also load games from sd card instead, which might be more reliable/easier to find. and you can use sd card source for both usb loader gx and nintendont together

alternatively: keep using that drive in wbfs for wii games, and use sd card for nintendont

Correction for some reason fat32 does not work on usbloader gx for me
