GX USB Loader & NTFS

[ThePhilMachine]

Arggh! I'm pulling my bloody hair out here! Wasted hours on google already...

I can load games from GX Loader no problem, but I cannot get my own games to backup!

I keep seeing guides that show it detecing a disc insert and popping up the option to "Install" or "Mount" - this does NOT happen! I have a mount option at the top (CD icon).

I read on one forum the option to install is possibly disabled if your HDD is NTFS??

Can anyone confirm/deny this?

Thanks!

Phil

You don't use the dvd icon. On the bottom left of the main screen next to the settings cogs there is small + button ( I can just about see it on my tv) press that and it will ask if you want to install game click yes and follow instructions

Are you using NTFS on your HDD?

That + icon is just NOT there on my screen

I thought external drives had to be formated in WBFS. or am I wrong happy

What a load of sh!t - I've re-formatted now in FAT32 and hey presto, there is + icon there and it now auto detects when games are in!

I wasted 3 or 4 hours ****ing about with my wii and googling this issue, its a bit rubbish when apparently other tools can rip it to NTFS..

Oh well, at least it's working now! I didn't want to go back to work tomorrow with this job not complete!

P.S. I earlier tried clicking the bottom left corner incase I couldn't see the "tiny" icon - what a pleb, I thought it would be weird if I couldn't see it on a 42" TV!

Have a look at this list m8 USB Loader Releases - WikiTemp you should be able to rip to ntfs. I have just changed from gx to uloader because it allows me to put my game saves onto an emulated nand on hdd instead of wii memory.

No not all. Have a look at the link in the reply above this one and you will see a compatabilty list for what current usb loaders can and can't do.
