As far as I know this isnt possible. The Wii U will force you to format the drive if it detects a partition that is not in its file format.
With RetroArch installed couldn't I format a 4tb external and have it scan for roms via ftp as well as detect Wii u files?
You can use 1 drive on the WIIU side for anything. You can transfer files to it using FTP. The vWii side would need a different drive.
It is possible to use one drive if you install all your Wii and GC games as vWii injects. Will be along process though as you will have to create the inject for every game. Unsure if it you could store your roms on a Wii U formatted drive and transfer them over via FTP as I haven't tried. You could however setup Wii emulators and use SMB to connect to a shared folder on your pc so you wouldn't have to transfer them at all and just load them over network.

@SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme -

A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."+2 -

Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.+1

@BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.+1
The issue is DRM -
@
cearp:
You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60
