Well without access to an SD card reader (long story) this is what happened. I had an old 320 seagate ultra portable drive. It worked fine, but as i added more games, older ones got corrupted. Long story short, it got a little busted up, i sent it in for warranty, and to my delight they send me back a 500 gig ultra portable. Only problem is, i get some more backups, i try to load them. With forcing NTSC, or auto patch, or console default, and ios 249 and 222, i get a simple black screen as soon as i load. Then i'm forced to hold down power and try again. I'm currently trying to partition the drive into WBFS and NTFS instead of simply just the one NTFS partition. But can anyone help me figure out whats going on? Also, these games worked before. And one of the games i've recently tried is infact NTSC by default, so not sure what the problem is. Also, unlike my old drive, this new one cannot rip games straight from the wii to the drive, i now get an "installation error".

*edit* added info

You should format the drive as one big FAT32 partition, make sure you have Hermes 222 v4 and/or cIOS 249 rev17 (I believe, I use the Hermes) - then you can run GX r938 unless you have other problems.

    @K3Nv3, Cloud scanners often interpret machine learning to understand the inner workings of a program and checks to see if functionality compares to how malware operates. Hence why it's not always accurate and you get false positives such as W32.Wacatac.

    It's interesting that the ISO came with the browser though, is it also pre-loaded with other stuff?
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    now, back to what I was doing last night: going insane because Firefox can't set the new tab page to your custom new tab page-- apparently as a security issue
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Yes that was also mentioned in the links I posted
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    @ZucchiniMaiden No no, it was a blank install of XP, I installed the software afterwords lol
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    I would not recommend using a product key generator to generate keys, you can find em on the internet relatively easy. And as for Windows XP keys, a certain GitHub page has them. :P

    Pirated copies of os can also be detected especially with torrent links

    Now, hmm...
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    Is there a Firefox feature in like maybe about:config to change the new tab page to the home page?

    "New Tabs" only has Firefox Home or Blank Page
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @K3Nv3, There's the Windows Genuine Advantage that got implemented in SP3 if I remember which checked the license of your Windows installation to see if the key was either pirated or whether it's been activated.

    It got a lot of controversy because it acted in a way like spyware, but really who cares, Microsoft likes to spy on you.

    If you can't download windows directly from Microsoft always expect risks never know what user could leave out during re-upload

  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Unless you got a physical copy of a os which can be found at thrift shops
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Always expect risks on outdated versions of Windows, there's probably a dozen or more vulnerabilities for XP that haven't been patched after the EternalBlue exploit that got leaked from the NSA.

    I get the retro vibe of it but he's using a vm worst case just right click delete kind of crazy not to be using up to date software if your system can handle it

  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    lol
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    I'm running it on a VM, but it's more up-to-date with the latest security patches. There's not a single Wi-Fi adapter connected to this VM. And just to make sure nothing bad happens, I make daily snapshots.

    speaking of retro vibes, what are your favorite keyboard shortcuts to get around your favorite apps?

    I feel like if I learned the shortcuts, browsing could be way more efficient
