Good evening, have spent the better part of today updating my old Zelda Hacked Wii I did a couple of years ago now with the latest and greatest ModMii procedures based on rave reviews from friends. But unfortunately I didn't end up with the same results. I believe I followed the somewhat tricky guide properly, my HomeBrew updated - got the red theme going there on the menu, homebrew says it's at 1.08 / IOS58 v24.32 in the upper right corner and the Wii says it is at 4.1 accordingly.
I formatted an external drive properly (Fat) and transferred the files to it as instructed (even managed to transfer a game image over to it with the Wii Backup Manager), I thought I was good but damned if I can get the thing to be recognized by the Wii. Is it supposed to show up on the disc channel as an option ? I downloaded and loaded up USB Loader GX to Homebrew as well but it works away and eventually fails at seeing anything. Did some reading up here as well and tried the trick where you can browse the devices without with the SD card installed and I was able to see it that way so I assume my cables are fine and the ports are working !
What is the trick ? Additionally - I've come to figure out now as well that the only games I have left that will work are my OEM retail discs, none of my 'backup' images are being recognized anymore in the DVD drive as they were before. Is there a simple fix on that front perhaps ?
Bare wth me, I'm not totally sure what the heck all these steps were for IOS installation and CIOS etc., other then I didn't have any problems following the instructions and didn't get errors from what I saw going on. So - I think I'm close I just don't really understand how to get the damn USB thing working ... could it be something as simple as a non compatible drive ? I think its an older Western Digital actually but I have another Seagate I guess I could try too...
If anyone has the time to provide a tip - I'd appreciate it !
Cheers...
