Hello, I was hoping to get some kind of help regarding this issue i've run into recently. I just got a Wii U and modded it along with the VWii. Everything so far has gone smooth except with Nintendont. I have an external hard drive that I use with a y splitter cable, and previously used it on my original Wii. Worked perfectly fine for both Wii and GC games. It's formatted properly and all the files are labeled correctly. And even now with USB Loader GX it loads Wii games fine.

However, when using v6.503 of Nintendont I constantly get the "USB fat device could not be opened" error when booting from both the HBC itself and the fowarder. And when booting games in USB Loader it says it's unable to open disk image files.

I still have my old Wii sd card so I decided to try loading up my version on there, which is 4.445 or something. And surprisingly, I got different results.

When loading from USB Loader I get the "Check for multi game and region failed" error. When loading from the fowarder I get the same "USB fat device could not be opened" error from before. But when loading it from HBC itself all of the games show up and even load!

I'm completely confused by this, and any help would be appreciated. As I would like to be able to just load all the games from USB Loader.
 
Are you using the normal vWii mode or the Wii U Wii virtual console mode ? Under Wii U VC mode USB ports are disabled and no drive can be mount at all. Otherwise on vWii mode, when you connect your HDD with the Y cable, only one cable is for data the other for power so make sure the data cable is plug on port 0 the bottom I think if it's the same as the Wii
