Ive recently decided to add more games to my homebrewed Wii. I test the 500gb WBFS USB drive with a Y cable and the Wii loads games from it. But when I plug it into my Windows 11 Pc (Tried on Windows 10 too) and Windows wont assign it a drive letter. As it wont be given a drive letter, tools like WiiBaFu or Backup manager wont read the drive. Ive tried repairing the drive with Wit, but it cannot find the drive. If I look at the eject media panel, the USB drive appears but cant be read. Heres the Log when I try to find the WBFS drive with Wit:
F:\Windows\System32>wwt list --long
!! wwt: ERROR #48 [NO WBFS FOUND] in AnalyzePartitions() @ src/wbfs-interface.c#447
!! no WBFS partitions found -> abort
Ive tried different ports, different cables that work with other drives, and nothing. Yet the same cable that doesnt work on any of my computers lets my Wii read the drive through USB Loader GX or WiiFlow.
Ive also tried converting the drive to FAT32, but cannot until my Windows PC Assigns it a drive letter.
Any ideas? Any help is appreciated.
