Hacking Usb loaders won't recognize my usb flash drive but wiimc wii

[Skittles1987]

I have a PNY 8GB Mini Attache USB Flash Drive that i have been using for a while in WiiMC.

I ran Modmii and set the usb stick and the wii up for use as a usb harddrive for playing backups however none of the usb loaders will recognize my usb stick.

No matter which ios i use in Config usb loader, if i have my usb stick in it will just sit there taking the whole 90sec to try loading the try again.

If i have my usb stick in my wii when turning it on it won't load until i remove it, however if i put the usb stick in after i have WiiMC loaded it will recognize it and play movies just fine. I have tried this same method with all of the usb loaders however they never recognize it.

Thanks for reading and any help will be greatly appreciated.

How is your drive formatted (WBFS, FAT32, NTFS)?
Is the partition set as Primary and Active?
What USB loaders are you testing (Not all have support for all formats)?

(Personally, I use WiiFlow on a WBFS formatted drive)

 

[Skittles1987]

it is Fat32 It is a primary and active partition.

I Have tried WiiFlow, Conf. USB, and Uloader gx None of them will recognize the usb stick,

In Conf USB i have tried loading it using every ios i can to no avail.

i know its not a bad stick because i can watch movies off it with WiiMC

tried a cios with base 58?

 

[Skittles1987]

I couldn't find a ios based on ios 58 that was for slot 248/249/250 I only found it for 251 and Conf Usb won't load on 251 and i couldn't figure out how to get the others to load on it either,

Use ModMii (link in sig). It has all the IOS you need plus more.

Use ModMii to download it. Once it's installed, save http://www.mediafire.com/?4raamd4342ja60b in the "ModMii/temp/DownloadQueues" folder. Start ModMii, choose "Load Download Queues", then choose "cIOS248", and proceed to download. The wad file will be created in COPY_TO_SD/WAD

I got it to work using Ios249(58) from modmii however now when i try to load a game (kirbys return to dreamland) it gives me an error saying remove the disk and turn the wii off.

On a side note it wouldn't show up in CFGv70 i had to use CFGv65

This maybe linked to the same error i have when trying to load wiiware i beleive it has something to do with the fact that my dvd drive doesn't work.

But anyway Thanks for helping me get it to show up in cfgusb

Use d2x v6 or v7 base 56.

Sounds weird that cfg v70 didnt list the game though. You didnt have any old config files left when you installed v70?

The DVD has nothing to do with it.

1. Is it the first time you are trying USBloaders?
2. Can you try another USB device? (HDD or Flash stick)

If you are interested:
3. I had the same problem this weekend with a Wii from my cousin. His wii might have different USB ports (maybe a different brand?) and the ehci_module from cIOS doesn't work at all.
I could only make a base58 work (using the "usb_module" instead). HBC, WiiMC are working.

I tried different debugging option to find the cause, but I didn't find one.

Please, try this homebrew :

It will tell you if your USB is working with ehci module or not, and will create a report on your SD card.
If you have "USB Status : 0x3002" in the report then your Wii will not work with cIOS not on base 58, and not all games will work from USBloaders.

You will have to test games one by one to see if they are compatible with a cIOS base 58.

It's a very rare problem, it's really strange that someone else find the same problem as me on the same week.
I hope you don't have it and your problem is elsewhere.
