I've been battling this issue now for 2 years and im hoping someone has answers to my problem here. My modded wii is having issues with usb 0 and the hdd. Rn my setup is my gamecube games are on my sd card, and my wii games are on my hdd. I use wii flow, usb loader gx keeps failing to initialize usb however sometimes it will work. My wii games work perfectly fine. My gamecube games would never work on the hdd, only works on sd card. Thru nintendont, sometimes it says "usb fat device could not be opened" or "usb games was not found". Thru usbloadergx or wiiflow it would say "checkformultigameandregion 1". Ive made sure my cios is correct. I've tried different cables(yes even the y-cable), adapters, hdds. I've made sure each drive was formatted to fat32 properly. I I just recently I picked up another wii that was modded for cheap, it's supposed to be a gift for my brother. I plugged in the same sd card and hdd into this new wii and everything works, both wii and gamecube games work off the hdd, BUT NOT MY WII! At this point I feel like this could be a issue within the mod or nand, or something internally is wrong with my wii, like maybe a capacitor. Help would be appreciated.
 
At the moment, I feel my only options are to either factory reset the wii, reinstall homebrew and hope that fixes the issue, or my other option is to replace the board.
