Hello everybody
I got an impressive breakdown of my HDD while using nintendon't last saturday. It's really frightening so i will give as much details as possible
========================Before the incident========================================
my HDD is not compatible with dios mios (1Tb 3.0/2.0 WesternDigital STOR.E BASICS).
- I split it in one Fat32, first partition, primary, active, 32Kb cluster size of 133Gb capacity
- and an other one of 800Gb in NTFS.
I use to play flawlessly my wii backup in wbfs format on the NTFS partition, but since the drive is not compatible with dios mios i used to copy Gamecube backups on an old compatible flashdrive to play.
Then i started using Nintendon't one month ago, especially to play my Wave race blue Storm backup since nintendon't support audio streaming very good.
**(i have 3 gamecube controllers and 2 memory cards all originals and most of the time connected to my wii)
**I'VE NERVER TRIED MEMORYCARD EMULATION.
I noticed somme issue not mentionned in the gbatemp's compatibility table for nintendon't:
- my Baten kaitos: eternal wigns and lost ocean DISC1-PAL backup (french is my native tongue) never launch; i always get a black screen or/and a wii shutdown.
IF I LAUNCH DISC 2, it works then when i choose the save data it looks for disc1 and everythings goes just fine.
- my F-Zero PAL backup , always shutdown the wii after selecting 60Hz mode and displaying two logos ;Most site recomend to force ntsc 60 mode but it never works for me
I USE A COMPONENT (YUV the Nintendo official one) CABLE ON A 4:3 CATHODIC TELEVISION
MY WII SETTING ARE -PAL 60-/16:9
MY NINTENDON'T SETTINGS ARE ON DEFAULT WITH "AUTO" AT VIDEO AND LAGUAGE SETTINGS.
- My Skies Of Arcadia PAL backup nerver work , always goes black screen and/or shutdown the wii at launch.
========================NOW THE INCIDENT========================================
Sunday, after 1hour of playing Need for speed Carbon(PAL) through nintendon't i decided to take my chance one more time with Skies of Arcadia.
Then i shutdown my Wii by a ong pressing on the power button, i don't did it ingame, i think i was i the career main screen menu. When i started my wii i lauch Nintendon't that i forwarded on the wii first screen (the forward installation that look for the proper homebrew installation in the sd card).
First of all everythings was very slow at that moment, from the homebrew launch to the hdd dectection and the gamelist display. Then i lauch SKIES OF ARCADIA PAL....
Usual writings started to show on then i got a black screen with a red message ; not disk found i think, and then the wii shutdown
**I powered the wii and lauch again nintendon't then it displays "no disk found"
**i reset the system, launch the homebrews channel, launch WIIXPLORER then i discovered that my fat32 partition that i sued to name "FAT32" dont not have a name anymore.
**the partition still has a fat32 partition system, there where not anymore files: the "games" directory, isos or other stuff that used to hang in the partition root were all gone!
*** ONLY TWo Unknow Files where there : an iso never-seen-before file with no name, yes litteraly i can only see a ".iso" for the name (sorry no picture) of 1.4 Gb of weight, and a text file date with strange scripture as name.
today i recover my data with EASE US DATE Recovery and with the patition manager I WIPE all the fat32 partition and started all over again (fat32 primary, active...,32kb cluster)
Thany you for reading my report
