Homebrew Split Partitioning to play WiiU/vWii games on same drive

[FlareTech]

I have a 1tb external hard drive and was planning on using it to store alot of the games I was downloading to play on my Wii U and on the vWii but I see now that I need 2 drives. Would it be possible to partition 500gbs in 2 partitions and make them show up on the Wii U as 2 different drives? I can use WBFS manager to format a partition and the wii u can partition the other. Im asking because I already have 150gbs of WiiU games on the drive and do not want to redownload them. Thanks!!!

NO

Nope. The Wii U formats the whole drive

The only way to play WiiU/Wii backups using the same drive and without losing your data is to install injected Wii VC games.

Other than that, the WiiU formats the whole drive, so there's no way to have a WiiU partition and a WBFS partition on the same drive.

NO

You are aware that one word posts are against site rules right. The reason being what the fuck does the op learn by you typing no?? Yes they learn it can't be done but do they now understand WHY it can't be done??? Did they learn about what other options they have??

except this time, the answer and reason have been repeated thousands of times

according to the same set of site rules:

Posts such as "Yes", "I agree", "LOL", "When will it be dumped?" or "When will it be translated?"; and nothing but images/emoticons or internet memes are useless and are wasteful on the servers. This is not GameFAQs or 4chan!

I totally agree with you but when its too late and the op has already created the thread we should give them help and explain things simply replying no is just going to lead to the op either asking more questions or creating another thread asking something like can i use two Hard drives with the wiiu if people simply give a no and then an explanation why ect we stop more needless threads and so on.

Seeing the "NO" in capital letters and you should feel his emotion, at least I do.
Telling the OP straight answers and reason is not the best way for him to learn, in fact I think that is part of the reason why there are so many lazy/rude noobs here (not pointing at the OP). The best way is to teach him to learn to search (even google does the job) and read the rules.
