I've used modmii to install homebrew and installed USB loader and USB loader GX, but now when I load up the channel, it asks for a hdd to be inserted in. I use a samsung M3 portable drive 500gb for this and I have used Wii backup manager to load the iso's onto the drive. I'm lost on what to do as I've tried reformatting the drive numerous times and at the moment it is in FAT file format.

Prior to modmii, i was using a youtube guide to softmod the wii and at that time USB loader GX formatted and recognised the hdd.

Now when I load up USB L GX, it just return to the wii menu screen.
Can you help me please?

how do you launch USBLoaderGX?
from the channel installed by modmii (bad practice!) or from the homebrew channel (good) or the official forwarder (good too) ?

The channel installed by Modmii might not work with arguments (I'm not sure, but it's better to test with HBC only until you know everything works fine without a channel).

I used the homebrew channel USB Loader, and now it recognises the hard drive. But now it won't recognise the games? I've tried using Wii Backup Manager to put ISO files onto the hard drive. What am I doing wrong? It says the hard drive is empty

so, when you had the issue you didn't use the homebrew channel ? (you didn't explicitly told me what you used)
I'll just act like you didn't use HBC and you used modmii channel, so that's normal it didn't work with it.

Now with HBC, the HDD is recognized, but you don't see games. It could be few things, one of it being that the "wii games" are disabled because last time you launched it there weren't any USB connected so it disabled it.
To re-enable wii games, go to the top menu > 4th icon > Wii games > tick the checkbox.

if after that you still can see games, go to settings > hdd settings > click on the first option to set the partition to use for Wii games and force a partition remount.

So initially I didn't use the HBC, and now I do. I checked the wii and GC games so they should appear. In terms of hdd settings, there is only one option and that is the WBFS partition (495Gb). Would it help if I take a pic of the options?

What revision of the loader are you using? It's in the top right corner of the credits screen. The latest is "r1260".

    Got eye insurance? Some do custom laser cutting engraving same day in office
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I do but the optometrist I got my glasses at last year was expensive as fuck even WITH my insurance, so I'm gonna order on Zenni and see if my insurance will reimburse it. And if they won't, then, oh well, still will be cheaper anyway
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    $90 for the safety glasses on Zenni, vs my daily wear glasses were >$200 after insurance
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Haven't been to the eye doc in like 3 years but was pretty surprised they cut the glass in office had the in like an hour ready
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    That's pretty sweet, I had to wait like a week or so for mine to be ready
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Lookin at buying another pair of regular glasses too. And maybe prescription sunglasses
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Yeah most just ship off to a lab could always call around to see if new ones have in office glass cutters
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    too much effort + im shy and social anxiety :( lmao
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I just wear them when I drive cause I'd like to actually read signs
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Think they said I'm far sighted or some bs
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    My eyes aren't that bad, I need mine for driving but ever since I got my latest pair I wear them all the time when I'm home now, I never used to before
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm near sighted though
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I feel like docs just say you're this and that for the insurance claims half the time
    +1
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    But even my computer monitors, that are like 3ft away when I'm leaning back in my chair, so much easier to see now with my glasses than without
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Doc was cool though, he measured my old glasses and I wanted to try different contacts than I had had previously and he's like "hmmm I bet you're this strength and that strength" and damn dude was dead on the money
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    lmao that clip
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Know a guy who did laser surgery for like 2g but argued you'd never need glasses again
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    laser eye surgery scares me
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    The thought of any kind of surgery shit being done on my eyes gives me unbelievable amounts of dread and anxiety, and with the potential risks or side effects that laser eye surgery has, I don't think my eyes are bad enough to warrant it. I can see without my glasses - not great, but not bad either.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Yeah I feel that if it gets to the point where all I see is blurry then I might consider if
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Just do it like in Minority Report. Won't feel a thing.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Is it the full van? If so t's suspiciously cheap.
