Renke's Ultimate Wii Soft Mod Guide 2010 - FEEDBACK AND DISCUSSION

[steiff1]

hi guys
Ive soft modded the kids wii. 4.3e, everything works fine with back up discs. however I want to run some games off an external harddrive. an Iomega prestige 250gb portable. Ive checked the compatibility list in the other thread, and it says that is compatible with usb loader. this is good news. However I cant seem to get this step correct when trying to run a game from usb.
I tried a game from an 8gb usb stick, I formatted to fat32, didnt put any partition in, as i figure i didnt need one, as nothing else would be on the stick, but usb loader Gx or any other program wouldnt play it, USB loader showed that space was taken on the stick, but wouldnt list it as an option. I used imgburn to rip the iso from a disc to usb to try it.

does it matter which usb port you plug into? also the Iomega prestige HDD has 2 usb connectors to allow it run, can i plug both usb connections into the back of the wii?

I was gonna put backup disc in the wii, and try to copy to usb, I understand this can be done through one of the programmes.

I'm a bit lost. can anyone assist..


cheers

Hi Steiff1
when i added a hard drive to my wii it had to be plugged into the port nearest the base of the console,
i also formatted and added iso's to the drive using WBFS Manager 3.
i didnt use renki's guide but used letter bomb to soft mod my wii.
hope this helps a little.
