Having the following issues:

Installed USB Loader GX on my Wii.
Formatted 200GB Seagate Hard Drive in external Freecom enclosure with WBFS Manager.

If I start USB Loader GX with my Hard Drive on my Wii freezes. If I start it and then turn on my Hard Drive (where it says looking for your slow usb device) it recognises it no problem.

So then I put in a disc to install, it comes up with the ID and then the size. I click install then it just hangs on the USB Loader GX screen.

Any ideas? Icompatible hard drive?

Right!

Figured out what it was.

My external enclosure was not compatible.

I switched my drive to another enclosure and it works perfect.

Can I submit this info to the compatibility database?

hey guys i installed the forwarder chanel and it s acting up?

when in in the chanel the wii crashes..or when i select a games it crashes to?

the black sreen with the dump txt..
could be 1 of 2 problems with forwarder 1. You may need to use Dopios v8 on ios35 and truncha it or 2. Your Global config on your sd in the config folder needs to be deleted
i think i will try delete first..lol thx

99.9 % of the time an external enclosure cant be formatted to FAT32 unless the system excepts it as a fixed disk which means it gets formatted to its optimal aka NTFS but this file structure is no good sometimes http://www.compuapps.com/Download/swissknife/swissknife.htm will be able to format it for you as a usb try this first if it fails remove the drive from the enclosure and connect it directly to your computer to be able to format.

any1 got a new uptodate forwarder.dol for the new version (843?)
You don't need to update forwarders.


then why does when i havet it set to auto boot up the dol i have *same size as damn near all of the ones i find* it just goes to a black screen then nothing , never loads anything
That's the point of the forwarder dol though. There's no need to update because it points to the same place every time. Double check your apps/usbloader_gx folders and, it might sound dumb, but make sure the app is boot.dol and not r8xx.dol.
lol yea that is dumb jk.
the method i do is as follows (posting it to see if its the right way)
using preloaderv0.30r3
when preloader loads up choose install file and choose GXforwarder.dol from the root of the sd card.
it installs
make sure auto boot to installed file is on
turn off *just to make sure
turn on ... wait black screen and nothing happens.


anything wrong with that?lol


my folder looks like this
J:\apps\usbloader_gx
boot.dol
icon.png
meta.xml
rev.txt

hmm the rev text says 841 even though im pretty sure im using r843 cause i installed the r843.wad
Hmm. Everything sounds good to me. I would try updating Preloader or going to Priiloader and installing the forwarder dol file again.

I have a question. Is there a way to make GX install a Wii game to a WBFS hard drive with all partitions? So far it can install the game partition only.

What about configurable USB loader? Does that work, too?

Why is it when i try to load up this loader i always get a DSI error?
If you dont have a truncha enabled ios35 alot of apps wont work !!
This isn't a problem with ios 35 not being trucha enabled.

@leoz: You'll have to give me more than that! What revision? What's the stackdump? I can't tell from here

The latest revision and do you want me to write the whole code dump?

*(probably useless because i cant tell 0's from 8's) But The Code dump is:

80be3854: 80080034 2F800800 419E0034 7FC3F378
80be3864: 7FE4F878 7FA5E878 7C0903A6 4E800421
80be3874: 80010024 83A10014 83C10018 7C003A6

The stack dump is:

80be3854 ---> 80be3844 ---> 8ob059e8 ---> 80b049f4 ---> 80b003a4 ---> 80c2d62c ---> 80c2d5cc
