Recent versions of usb loader gx allow you to use FAT32 or NTFS. FAT32 will be more widely support by MAC/PC in case you want to use your hard drive for other things. @Pedro There’s no need to format drives as WBFS anymore.

I bought a usb splitter to play skylander's spyro's adventure but it doesn't work. Any ideas ?? The external hd won't work in the inside usb slot but neither does the usb key for the game. Why are there 2 usb slots on the wii if only one works ? Any idea how I can get both working in the one usb slot ? I’m having the same problem as Shawn.

I have encountered one issue that I hope you can help with. Everything works great, however, once I power off the Wii and then power it back on again, my usbloader cannot find the hard drive. The drive is a Seagate and has a powersaver feature, so when the Wii is powered down, it goes to sleep. However, it is waking up when the wii is powered up. I am using USB Loader GX. It gives the message about waiting for a slow USB drive and has a countdown. If I unplug the power to the drive and power it back up during the countdown, then the loader finds the drive and runs correctly. I have even tried the option to not powerdown the wii but to put it in standby mode. In this case the drive never goes to sleep, but I have the same issue. Do you have any ideas on what I can do to fix this? Your tutorial was very helpful. I have encountered one issue that I hope you can help with.

I have everything in the wii and hacked properly with cios v 4. now i have a wd passport gigs, and it won't load with cfg, but when i use gx, it takes forever, gx tells me that it is a slow or difficult disc, and will eventually start up after ten minutes. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to upgrade the CIOS? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Hey Guys, I am having an issue, and any assistance would be appreciated.

Why would you need two hard drives? Besides, I think that CFG USB Loader only supports the far right USB port. @Fiona, I don’t think there is. Why would you need two hard drives?

Besides, I think that CFG USB Loader only supports the far right USB port.
