Wii USB HD Loader

[Yumraaj]

tried format on its own first
eg....
drive letter g then format then i get error
can hd be formatted from wii?

Yes it can, as long as your wii recognise it. What make is your drive?

its a buffalo 500g

its a buffalo 500g

Are you using the whole drive just for wii or is it partitioned? If it is partitioned, make sure the partitions are set as primary.

If it is the whole 500g you plan to use then your wii should have no trouble recognising it. I have given you revision 9 because people on the internet are having problems with other versions.

No, there isn't any special way to format it on wii. What I would suggest is to format as fat32 first then use either WBFS Manager or your Wii to format it as WBFS.

Hi

Whatever happen please dont format it when it is connected to your PC. It is a different format which windows cant recognise that is why it's asking you to format it. What you can do is try the latest WBFS Manager which is located here:
WBFS Manager - Release: WBFS Manager 3.0

If this dont work try this one instead, it's called WBFS Intelligent Gui:
MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service

Hopefully this will help you mate

Hi
sorry to jump in but you say you have copied games to your hd when you load your hd onto your pc via the wbfs and picked and loaded the drive can you see the games. if so and you still get errors loading then i would try reformating with the wbfs programe

i use a buffalow 500 drivestation and have no issues after formating the drive via the wbfs programe dont formate the drive after this with the pc it will always ask but just cancel.
cheers johny48

Ret=1 means not able to see a Ext USB Drive. Try this for size make sure you plug in the ext hd drive in the right hand side if the wii as you look at it from behind. This is required if you have CISO Rev13b installed. The left side is reserved for usb devices such as usb mics

Hi,
I'm completely new to this - so please some patience...
First of all I'm on Wii 4.0 before I started looking into softmodding - apparently I can't downgrade the system menu version... so I need something that works with Wii 4.0.
I'm interested in playing back-up games from either a Back-up Launcher (Gamma apparently does NOT work with Wii 4.0) or USB Loader (I like the look of WiiCoverFlow).

I'd like to complete the following: How Do I install the Usb loader on the Nintendo Wii 4.0? - Yahoo! Answers

I've managed to install the Bannerbomb mod to get the HBC... tick.
I then found out that I need to upgrade the cIOS. I've managed to download the cIOS36 Rev 10 as well as the Installer that goes with it. I've put the wad on the SD root, and created a "cIOS Rev 10" folder inside the "app" folder, which contains the Installer program.

When I run this on the Wii, it starts to execute & the screen fills up: patch #1 (or whatever it says - can't remember exactly) - OK, patch #3 - OK, then on patch #5 it errors & I get an error code of "Ret = -1".

Please help...
