[steep sage]

Hey! ill try my luck making a thread and to keep everything in the same place.
As title says, usb loader gx is stuck on reinitializing devices. i tried using wiiflow lite aswell but thats stuck on the logo.
I downloaded nintendont and it runs my games without issues.
Im using a sdcard and a usb hdd.
ill also include my syscheck here but i asked around in support-text channel earlier and they said i installed it correctly.
i also tried deleting and downloading the usb loader gx via the Homebrew Browser which ended up till stuck on reinitializing devices

Make sure your Drive is plugged into Port 0 like in this image:

⚠️ Don't use USB flash drives, thumb drives or sticks ⚠️

The list is long but the main reasons why we don't recommend USB Flash Drives, thumb drives, or sticks are:

• USB flash drive can die or get corrupted suddenly.
• Loaders have problems with flash drives.
• They're not really meant to load games.
• The Wii doesn't really like flash drives.

The ideal setup would be to get an SD card and a USB HDD.

For SD cards:

• It's recommended that the SD card be used for homebrew apps, mods, and that BootMii requires one in order for you to install it and to create a NAND backup.
• You can just use an SD card to load games, but some games and mods do not work with Large SD cards. (For example Kirby Return to Dreamland does not run properly from an SD cards and Brawl mods do not work with SDXC [SD larger than 32gb]).
• It's recommended to get a 32gb SD card, but pretty much any size should be fine.
• The limit is 2tb and preferably get a name brand SD card (e.g. SanDisk).
• Ensure that the SD card is formatted to the FAT32 file system with an MBR partition scheme and a cluster size of 32KB.

For USB HDD's:

• It's recommended that the USB HDD be used just for Wii and GameCube games.
• A 250gb USB HDD is fine, but you can go for a larger capacity if you want more games, the limit is 2TB.
• Ensure that the USB HDD is formatted to the FAT32 file system with an MBR partition scheme and a cluster size of 32KB.

Recommended SD cards and USB HDD's

and can i use port 1 for a usb controller?

Nintendont has a few different controller configs you can use. Download the controllers.zip from here: https://github.com/FIX94/Nintendont/tree/master/controllerconfigs then extract it and put the folder on the root of the SD or USB.

would a y cable be a possible solution to use the seagate hdd?
if not would this hdd work with my wii?
