[tiny sapphire]

look through all folders inside the apps folder

[cinder skiff]

[tiny sapphire]

[cinder skiff]

[cinder skiff]

got news, i had to press 1 on the homebrew channel and select USB drive.

but this happens

[marsh granite]

if that doesn't work, ensure your flash drive is formatted correctly

Can you power down the Wii, insert the drive into your PC, then search in windows for cmd and press enter.
in the command prompt, type chkdsk x: but replace x with the letter for your drive.
then screenshot the output.

Looking to verify the following:
Drive is 64gb or less: Formatted to FAT32 with 32kb (32768 bytes) in each allocation unit.
Drive is larger than 64gb: Formatted to FAT32 with 64kb (65536 bytes) in each allocation unit.

If you have a different allocation unit size backup your data and reformat to FAT32 with the correct allocation unit size for your drive.

[marsh granite]

that's not a file format

do you mean ntfs?

[cinder skiff]

yes, i can't check right now, but it's that kinda

yes, ntfs

[cinder skiff]

yes, but wait a few minutes

[marsh granite]

ok

[cinder skiff]

should i format it to fat32 before using the cmd right?

[marsh granite]

no use the cmd

it helps know what settings you need to format with

[cinder skiff]

it's in italian

want to read it in english?

[marsh granite]

that's fine

[cinder skiff]

okok

[marsh granite]

just send sc

[marsh granite]

ok

what capacity is the drive?

[cinder skiff]

64gb

[marsh granite]

backup the contents to your pc

and use this to reformat with 65536 allocation units

[cinder skiff]

what about the check in quick format?

[marsh granite]

leave that ticked

or it will take years

[cinder skiff]

done

i put back the apps folder inside the usb drive

can i plug it into the wii now, or i need something else?

[marsh granite]

put it in the Wii now

[cinder skiff]

and try to do this again?

[marsh granite]

yes

[cinder skiff]

oh, works fine now

thank you

[marsh granite]

np

[cinder skiff]

one last thing, the "wbfs" folder for games has to be in the root of usb? and it works with .iso files only?

[marsh granite]

it has to be on the root

and it works with .iso and .wbfs

[cinder skiff]

gamecube games too?

[marsh granite]

no

gamecube games are .iso and .rvz

[cinder skiff]

i mean, .iso files of gamecube games can be put into "wbfs" folder too?

[marsh granite]

no, they go in a folder called games

[cinder skiff]

and work with usb loader gx too?

[marsh granite]

yes, as long as you have nintendont in your apps folder

also, I don't see priiloader installer in your hbc

if it isn't, please install it

brick protection is important
