Alright... So about a week ago I started on the journey of Modding my WiiU.

My issue is when I loaded up USBloaderGX it was only picking up my SD card. When I would try to change the directory it would only stay at SD and I couldn't go to USB 0/1. I have a 128GB usb drive(FAT32) that I loaded my games onto (the wii games are in a wbfs file as directed online, and my GC games are in a folder named games(both of which are properly changed to WBFS and Iso files))

What I have done so far is changed the Loaders IOS to IOS 58 and the Games IOS to IOS 200 after both were on IOS248.

I also hid the USB drive using Ustealth_R8 so the WiiU part wont try to get me to format it every time I turn it on.

I cant wrap my head around what I am doing wrong.

Can anyone assist me?

Thanks.

Was your usb ever detected before by USBLoaderGX, or this it the first time you tried? Do a Syscheck and post it here in case you're missing any of the cIOSs.
Also flash drives are iffy with the Wii/WiiU, an external hdd with a y-cable is the ideal choice when it comes to that.

    Nothings been confirmed directly from Nintendo yet

    I haven't been up to date tbh
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I think the carts will be bigger flash size, and have a new lotus 4 protections so that can't be dumped say with a MIG dumper

    @BigOnYa, That's what I was thinking before when I last mentioned the Switch 2 gamecards.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Different Lotus ASIC with additional protection which could break MIG support, larger NAND size for bigger games, etc.

    Watch it be defeated by opening the cart
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I wonder if there could be some denuvo on the carts
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Probably but kind of pointless it'll be a while before anyone gets any dumps out
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Iirc it was the clip thing that triggered the og exploit but now since switch 2 uses clip in pins that's out the window
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Wasn't that fixed in the mariko and oled?
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Yeah but that's how they get dumps you need some type of cfw

  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Pin layout for carts is probably redesigned in different orders to where it wouldn't even be compatible with mig anyway

    Or when people brick stuff. It's morbidly fun. z.z

    Pins will be the same, will just use a different lotus protocol prob. https://gbatemp.net/threads/change-the-lotus3-gamecard-asic-ic-to-a-emmc-is-possible.637373/

    Not believing any leaked details tell it's official Nintendo could easily swap ground to data and that'd be enough for an entire new layout

    Eurovision has some pretty good songs this year. I hate how the worst possible song won for Portugal
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    this song got the most votes by the public, but none of the judges voted in favour, so she didn't win.

    Tsk tsk
