I know this issue comes up a lot and I've tried many troubleshooting steps and read several other threads concerning this issue without success.
I have a standard Wii running 4.3U firmware.
I am using a usb y cable and have actually tried 2 different ones from different brands. I have the data cable on port 0 and power cable on port 1.
I have tried with 2 different external hard drives. Both are formatted to FAT 32 using guiformat. I am using an MBR partition. Cluster size is 64 kb.
One hard drive is a 1 TB Western Digital wdc wd10jpvx-22jc3t0 running in a basic Insignia NS PCHD235 enclosure. The other is a 3 TB Toshiba HDTb330XK3CA which the model # for this enclosure comes with this 3TB drive inside. Knowing that 2 TB is the FAT 32 limit this 1 has a primary partition that is 1.99 TB where I have loaded the apps and games. The 2nd partition has no data on it and uses the remaining usable space left on the drive (slightly less than 1 TB). I realize 2 partitions is a no-no and realize that my be the reason the 3 TB Toshiba drive may not work.
Homebrew is installed and working. For my IOS installations I followed this guide: https://wii.guide/cios.html and believe I did it right.
I have tried running USB Loader GX on the sd card and running USB Loader GX on the hard drive and still get the same error message.
The best I've been able to achieve so far is I can get Wiiflow to work using game ios 249 with the games on the SD card if that may give any clues. But I really want to get away from Wiiflow and store the games and run them off an external hard drive.
Below are my syscheck results. I'm not sure what else to try. Any suggestions? Thanks!
