I am having problems playing videos and music off of my external hard drive. When I try to load a file and choose USB, it shows up blank. THen I try it a second time and I will get a code dump. I tried using just a flash drive and it works. Is there some reason why my external hard drive won't work or is there something I'm doing wrong. The hard drive works with everything else.

When I right click on it to format, it will only give me the option to format as NFTS. Is there anything else I can do. Will the wii not recognize it unless it is FAT 32?

I have a 1TB drive split into 2 partitions. One is like 490mb WBFS and the other is like 463 FAT32 and my Medial Player CE wont read it. It will read my thumbdrive though. I dunno....

thanks uranuskiller

ive just googled what you said, and i followed the 'ULTIMATE System Menu 4.0 Guide, Backup Loaders Disc Channel USB' to upgrade to 4.0. Does that mean that its too late for me to be able to do this? as the instructions say i need to be on 3.2.

    also gonna install twilight menu in my r4 flashcard
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Try Wood firmware
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    For your R4
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's old but it's the best firmware out for DS stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    nvm it does support mine
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Slightly slower loading but a bit more convenient
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
