I do not have a USB Harddrive, but I have a 80GB iPod, which of course can have loaded files on it. Will I be able to load games with the new USB loader via iPod, since all it is, is a hard drive with software on it.
That's sad, I wonder why Waninkoko doesn't use ntfs like marcan.OneUp said:It might be possible, but I don't know what you would need to do to get it working, considering that Waninkoko will be using his own filesystem.
Because NTFS sucks donkey's balls. You ever happened to eject an NTFS drive without properly unmounting? You're lucky if you'll ever get that filesystem consistent again. Some systems won't basically allow it to mount even. You wondered why all flash-drives use fat32 despite all oses since win98 SE being able to mount NTFS ... ? (Yea, I know Mac OS X and Linux couldn't properly mount NTFS until for just a few years ago, but most people still us M$.)Dookieman said:I do not have a USB Harddrive, but I have a 80GB iPod, which of course can have loaded files on it.

Possibly if you partition it, but I don't own an iPod and wouldn't want to risk it anyway.OneUp said:It might be possible, but I don't know what you would need to do to get it working, considering that Waninkoko will be using his own filesystem.
If you partition it with MBR, your wii will detect it. However, as OneUp points out, since the USB loader will mess with the filesystem on it, you won't have an iPod, but an 80Gb external HDD afterwards. (This is perfectly reversable of course; just reformat it and you're good.)

Don't. Go out and buy a cheap external or an internal + enclosure.
Edit: In response to Waninkoko not using NTFS, there are some disadvantages over a custom filesystem (not to mention having to write new drivers without 100% compatibility. They still haven't been able to create a 100% working NTFS driver w/o bugs for Linux)
