Hello I bought a 1tb hard drive WD passport 3.0 hard drive. I formatted to fat32 and put all my games on it. I went to use it on cfg first and it said can not mount, no wbfs partition or something like that. After that I put on usbloadergx and it also said there was no fat32 ntfs exFat or wbfs partition. Then I went back to cfg and formatted the primary partition to wbfs as it said to mount it. After that it said I had no games.Then I went to put it in my chromebook (dont have a pc have to go to library) it doesn't read it. Pls help me.

isn't that not self-powered? y cable, man. and, if it's in wbfs format, windows won't read it.

The hdd gives my black screen for some games like the flash drive. Would a Y cable solve that too?

 

[godreborn]

probably. if it's not self-powered, it's not getting enough juice.

How do u know if its self powered or needs a y cable.

 

[godreborn]

is the hdd connected to the wall outlet? if it's getting power from the wii itself, you should try a y cable instead.

Hdd is connected to wii. No wall outlet.

 

[godreborn]

yeah, y cable should fix it.

Oh yeah another question, do you plug both cables to wii or does one go in the wii and the other goes in to the wall.

 

[godreborn]

both go into the wii. one part of the cable is for power; the other part is for data.

*SOLVED* when I disassembled my Wii to clean it out. I out the ribbon connector backwards that connects to the DVD drive. I reopened the Wii and put the ribbon back in correctly. Now in USB loader GX I no longer get a black screen that eventually leads to the error message about ejecting the game disk


*Original post*
I recently got my modded Wii out of storage after many years of asking a family member. I modded my Wii back in 2010 and had everything working off my wd 1tb my book external HDD. Wii games along with homebrew apps were working flawlessly.

For the past two days, since I set the wii up, I have not been able to get my Wii games to run off my USB drive. It can see them, in USB loader gx, but after selecting the game, say Mario kart Wii, and clicking start, it hangs on a black screen for a minute or two, then gives this message

" error has occurred.
Press the Eject Button, remove the
Game Disc, and turn off the power to the
console. Please read the Wii Operations
Manual for further instructions."

My switch firmware is 4.2
I installed iOS 58 with iOS 58 installer
I updated my cios following the guide highly suggested wii.guide/cios html

Base 56 -> 249
Base 57 -> 250
Base 58 -> 251

I am currently on my way to work so I can't post syscheck results, but I'm certain of what those three are set to.

My HDD is split into two partitions.

A 80gb fat 32 partition for homebrew apps and stuff
800gb NTFS where all my wbfs games are stored.

I also used a small 8 GB flash drive (fat 32) and tried to load Mario kart Wii off it with the same black screen and error message.

Usbloadergx not showing some game banners. Are my wbfs files corrupted? I've download wbfs from 2 different websites so how are they both corrupted?

Also when I click the game it doesn't play any music and the top part is black and the bottom says settings and play. When I click it, it boots right back to homebrew channel.

Pls respond

 

[godreborn]

do you have a y cable? I've seen times where banners don't show up, but the game still works. I think it's a bug;.

 

[MileX]

I got a y cable and used it. It didnt work. For some stupid reason I plugged one en into the wall and now my wii might be fried.

Back to what I was saying is that the y cable didnt fix the black screen

 

[godreborn]
