I installed the Homebrew Channel using Bathaxx. I followed the guide to install the cIOSes necessary for USB loaders. I installed USBLoader GX using the "AllInOne" package.

When booting up USBLoader GX through the HBC, the loading screen hangs when "Initialize USB device", eventually goes through, but shows a "Loading... Waiting for USB device: X secs left". Sometimes this counter goes into negative seconds. After going through, I am met with an "Error: USB device not found. Switching to channel list mode." When selecting the channel installed with the WAD in the zip, I get a black screen. I cannot use the Wiimote or turn off the power via the power button; I have to unplug the Wii U.

My external hard drive is formatted FAT32, with backups formatted as .wbfs files. They are stored in the format "Game Name [XXXXXX]", with the file itself XXXXXX.wbfs. The hard drive is a WD My Passport 500GB, connected to the Wii U with its original USB 3.0 cable. It is connected to the Wii U via the upper back USB port.

There's a chance your drive isn't getting enough power. Either an external power source or a Y cable could help.

If you hear a clicking or other intermittent sound when trying to start up, that would be my best guess.

    Hey
    🙂
    About Switch, If I want to change SD to bigger size what should I do ? Just copy the content from old SD card to the new one enough ?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Unmodded switch? Yeah just copy the files to the new card. Modded switch, depends on how your SD card is laid out, depending on how it's set up you may need to use something like win32diskimager to dump it, flash the dump to the new SD card, and then expand the partitions to fill it

    If you don't use a emunand, then yes, simple copy/paste.
