Hacking Dual Partion

[gonefishing1975]

Hey

I'm trying to us an external usb 500gig drive to play classic systems on the 1st partion set to Fat32 and the 2nd Wii partion set to NTFS. I cannot get Wiiflow to boot of the Fat32 partion. Any ideas what to do?

Thanks

Hello.

Do you use WiiFlow v4.2.1 or @fledge68 WiiFlow Mod v5.4.3 please ?

Thank you.

Hey 5.4.3

Hey 5.4.3

Thank you.

For what I know you can set a Wii Partition (in my Case NTFS) and a GameCube Partition (in my Case FAT32) seperately in the
Settings - Page 1 - Game Partitions.
And on Page 4 you can set with Pathmanager - Go - Page 2 - Wii Games and GC Games.

Maybe this is what you seek.
If not,you can ask in @fledge68 ´s Wii Flow Thread for Help if you like.

Thank you.

Did you set it like this ?



Wii - NTFS
Gamecube - FAT32

I cannot boot into Wii Flow with my 500gig drive. Partition 1 is Fat32 and 2nd partition if NTFS. I loaded my Wii Flow setup that works on my 32gig flash drive onto the Fat32 partition but the 500gig drive won't boot into Wii Flow

Thank you.

Can you please check,if one Partition (maybe the first) is set to Active (in Windows) please ?
Also please check if your HDD is initalized as GPT or MBR Drive ?

Thank you.

Its GPT

 

[Alexander1970]

Its GPT

Thank you.

I am not 100 Percent sure but that could maybe be the Issue.
Also maybe the Cluster Size could be the Troublemaker,but I do not think so on an 500 GB HDD.
I know this sometimes from USBLoader GX that the Drive can not be (correct) initalized.
So it is maybe better to use always MBR (except on bigger HDDs than 2 TB,if I am not wrong).

If you have a Partion Tool like AOMEI Partition Assistent you can convert it with a few Clicks.

But better ask @fledge68 to get sure please.

yes he'd have better luck with a mbr drive. even better luck if he'd just make one big fat32 partition.

I originnaly made it 500 gig Fat32 but Wiiflow would never see the drive

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Withit set to MBR it boots right into WiiFlow Noiw

Thanks Guys

Not sure if this is related to using NTFS for Wiigames but I have to change each game to IOS 249 or it locks up WiiFlow. Is there a way to set all games to default to IOS 249

That is ok,you can also change it in the Settings - Page 2 - Startup Settings -Go - Force cIOS Revision to 249.
Should a Game still not work with it,you can still change it in the InGame Settings.

Thank you.

Yes, Configurable usb loader the best will clearly tell you when selecting one
(The IOS number to load is stored inside some header in the disc [image])

I'm using WiiFlow but not all games load when set to auto IOS. Do you have to set each game individually?
