I also have a bad USB port (or at least that's my diagnosis). The other port works well with rev 10. I can still use my "bad" port within GeeXbox, HBC, and (now with a few code changes) with Wii accessories - at least the mic.

I'm headed away for a week, so I can't help you at the moment, but send me a PM in a week & I'll get you my modified Hermes 222 and modified ehcmodule for the cfg usb loader so you can use FAT as well if you want. My changes will allow you to use your two ports interchangeably - at least that's the idea.

My long term plan is to package it all up & make it available for everyone (use either usb port for a hard drive or accessory) but I need a bit more testing before it's ready for any sort of release.

You could have a look at this thread and see if it helps. I had issues with a drive that worked on one Wii and nother another but this 'fixed' it:

I tried your workaround but it didn't work for me...
Maybe coz I'm using the rev10...
Edit: I upgraded to the rev15 and now it's working! As you said, if I plug-in the USB LAN adapter in the usb port 1, the HDD on the usb port 0 is successfully mounted!
Goddamn trick! Weird but working!

Wow, would be glad to test it.
I think there are some errors in coding of the actual loaders or cIOS that results to weird usb behaviour sometimes.
I'll contact u next week.

Edit:: As the usb port 0 seems to work if I plug something in the port 1, whatever it is, maybe you could use this trick to write a program which works in both ports whatever is plugged in the other one.

Hi $p00ky
I had the same problem. The others revs didn't want to load my HD and keys on port 0.
I was stocked on rev10, port 1 etc...
Your trick didn't work for me.
I did solve the problem. It was not hardware :
I installed 249 rev 14, hermes 222 and loaded the rev21 of wiiflow by pressing A to force it to run on 222 (I use a forwarder and the 222 wiiflow .dol)
Now the wii detect the device in port 0 and i don't need to plug anything on port 1

Salut akimbo,

Thanks for your information about loading cIOS other than the 249.

Actually, my Wii has a weird behaviour... sometimes it works, sometimes not...
I have to try many times, with different options (loading with cIOS 249, 222 or 223, with or without something plugged in the port 1...) and after many tries and reboots, it finally works...
For example the last time it worked with something plugged in the port 1 and the cIOS 223 rev4.

That's not really convenient...
