USB drive not loading on wiiflow and USB loader gx

[that_one_guy_ig]

My USB drive can be ready by nintendont and it plays my GameCube games on it but my USB loader GX won't show any Wii games other than my GameCube games, and wiiflow won't let me change the directory to USB even though my drive is in the correct port (port 0), leaving me with no way of playing my the Wii wbfs files on my USB drive, any help

Forgot to mention, USB loader GX doesn't show the Wii games from my sd either, it used to but one day it stopped because I think I accidentally pressed something I shouldn't have

edit:nevermind, thanks to modmii, i did it, i was prob missing a few files and the modmii wizard did the trick

Syscheck looks fine.

Iirc Nintendont supports exfat in addition to fat32 and other formats. But the hbc and wii usb loaders don't support exfat. Double check the format of your USB hdd is fat32 (1 single MBR partition). If you need help use modmii's usb loader set up wizard

so can i just make my usb into exfat from fat32 that it is now and wiiflow will read my games on it?

 

[XFlak]

The opposite, u want fat32 for compatibility with both

 

[that_one_guy_ig]

Another thing, the partition table needs to be MBR, not GPT, as Nintendont supports GPT but USB loaders do not.

how do i see what what it is now and how do i change it?

If it says "Convert to MBR" then it is in GPT and needs to be converted.
Normally the max size is 2 TB on MBR so if the drive is larger you can only use 2 TB.

Also make sure wii games are in the correct format/naming convention. If u use a tool like wii backup manager it will ensure this is done correctly

Everything is ok according to wiimanager, so to clarify the situation, I decided to record a video, sadly it is not uploadable here so I just took screenshots of it showing how while nintendont reads and plays both sd and USB just fine, USB loader only shows gc files from both storages, and wiiflow does not even recognize my USB, even when I go in the root to change directory

Almost forgot to add this one which shows that Wii games where turned on in USB loader GX, while still not appearing
