Homebrew I have a issue I need some help please

[TheModdingDad]

I have a wii and I modded it usuing modmii. It works and loads my usbloader gx. Now my issue is this I have a folder full of wbfs games the format is like this --- > Action Girlz Racing [RGYE5Z].wbfs . I use WIi backup manager to transfer them to my fat32 drive and it works. Now here is my issue I have a 3tb hdd and cannot format it to fat 32 due to that stupid fat32 size limit. So I made it ntfs NO GAMES SHOW. How can I get this drive to work. Then I tried fat32/ntfs, when I use that and load usbloader gx I get stack dump. Please help I would love to use this whole 3tb. My games folder size is 2.10tb which wont fit on a fat32 please help me out.

We have a compatibility list for harddrive. Take a look and see if your harddrive is supported.

Thanks but I see no 3tb section for my WD nas drive. Like mentioned before it works perfect in fat32 mode.
I need 2.10 tb space and that is not available in fat32

I think the limit is actually mbr. its limit is 2TB. after that is gpt. I don't think the 360, ps3, or wii/wii u can read gpt. I know the ps4 can. it even forces gpt on 2TB drives even though fat32 would work. I learned that when installing packages. they weren't detected on fat32.

Hmm weird i have read places people got it working but no help to do it lol..

This is a post from reddit ---> I have a 4tb easystore.. 500 gb fat32 and the rest is nfts... So it can be done and usbloader gx will see games from bother partionsat the same time.

maybe with multiple partitions, but I've never tested that on any system.

So Iguess lose the space lol and use the fat32 =2048 then lol. Maybe 2 2tb drives on the wii would that work

it might work, but you really don't need anywhere close to that much space. I have about 900GBs filled of a 1tb hdd, and I have between 700-900 games installed. I have it backed up like six or seven times so I don't lose it if the drive fails.

Are those Wii/GC games?

 

[godreborn]

not all, no. I have gc games on the sd card also.

I have a Seagate 4tb drive formatted to fat 32 (mbr) loaded with 1283 Wii games and a ton of GameCube games.

Works like a champion without any issues.

Most drive manufacturers have utilities you can download to format the drive to master boot record (mbr).

Then search for a free fat32 format utility (I use the windows version)

Good luck

wait a minute 4TBs!? is it partitioned? mbr is good up to 2TBs. it's not fat32 that's the deciding factor for these systems; it's mbr.
