Hacking Rev14 question....

[technom8t]

I have a couple of maxtor hard drives that were not possible to use with my Wii as none of my USB loaders could find them, would installing Rev14 change anything with regards to this, as in could it now be possible they will be found after installed?

It's possible and it's easy to find out -> Simply try it!

i would but i gave both away to a friend for him to try on his Wii, but i could easily just get them back and try it as you said, just though i would try my luck to see whether REV14 install would help the matter or not effect it at all LOL

Cheers

Try installing Rev10 if Rev14 doesnt work.

 

[technom8t]

ok ill try that , i take it the REV files do effect whether your USB is detected or not?

Are you on REV 10? is it a self powered caddy( powered via USB) or a plug in one??

if your maxtor drives have that 'one touch backup' thing built in, they will not work. That was my problem. You need a basic external bay, with no extra features. Then any drive will work that is put inside of it. Or at least thats been the case with me and my Wii...

Have you tried using the other USB port on the back of the Wii?
I believe since Rev11 or Rev12, it has to be a specific USB port for USB Loaders...

Yea make sure you are using the usb port that is closer to the edge of the Wii.

My maxtor was put into a self powered usb caddy. I used to have an old IDE one but now using a sata one and no problems with any of the 2
