Alright... I have been playing fine since its been released but suddenly today I got the message

"No WBFS detected, format"

I didnt since I know I DO have it, with 7 games on my external HDD.. I restart my Wii and load it up again, but this time it reads my external HDD as an empty, 120GB WBFS...

I had split it in 2 partitions, 80gb NTFS and 40gb for WBFS. Loading up the WBFSmanager on my computer and it shows the correct information, with all my games present. Checking my regular partition and nothing is out of place either.

I backed up everything to my computer and formatted it into 1 partition, and it still doesnt show up on the Wii...

I uninstalled the USB Loader GX WAD and then reinstalled, and made sure it was up to date..

Thats pretty much all I know... I can do everything else fine with my external HDD... watch movies and stuff fine, but for some reason USB Loader GX wont recognize it.

I just tried an older GX (still had the old WAD) and the CFG..

Old GX had the same problem and CFG didnt see it at all...

I guess im about ready to give up. Thanks for the help, but its such an odd bug.. I dont want anyone wasting too much time on it.

have you tried switching the usb port on the wii? the usb port at the lower portion (when the wii is placed horizontally) of the wii is the port used by loaders.

Yep, that was one of the first things I tried. It was still hooked up when the problem started, so I tried that, hoping by some miracle it would work... lol.

EDIT: I tried CFG Loader after I formatted just now and it recognizes it the right way now... kind of.

It sees my NTFS partition as EXTEND/WBFS1 and my WBFS partition as WBFS2, but I can play games using it (tried CoD4)

I guess its solved, thanks.

    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I dread the price point.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
