yes, but ONLY if you want to mass add the correct and existing category.side question, is it possible to mass add games to a catagorie quickly rather than going into each game, selecting game settings, then catagorie, and clicking the catagorie, I'm just wondering as I want to set up a catagorie for just gh/rb games, which btw, nice easter egg with the hand icon changing for those games XD
If you want to mass add "super figthing game I love", it's not possible.
if you want to mass add "RPG" to a flight simulator, it's not possible.
but if you want to mass add "RPG" to a RPG game, then that's very easy!
1. download wiitdb.xml (settings>update>wiitdb.xml from gametdb)
2. enable wiitdb (settings>features>use gametdb : enabled)
3. reboot (just to be sure)
4. now import Wiitdb game category automatically to all your games (settings>features>import categories)
I don't know if Wiitdb.xml contains a category "guitare". if it's present, then your games will automatically have this category enabled, and you will only need to filter the category you want to display which matches this.
Hmm, few things seems out of scope.Edit--
I've managed to get it to run without crashing by unplugging the hard drive, and I can configure it to what I want, but when I plug in the hard drive and initialize it by selecting the multiple partitions feature and initializing the NTFS partition with the games it hangs. I'm letting it sit to see if it eventually recovers, but in the event it doesn't, what should I do?
First, you cIOS setup is good. don't touch it.
now about your drive.
1)
you said you bought a BIG one. how big? 4TB or more?
you said only GPT is possible, so it's obviously bigger than 2TB.
Some homebrew will not work with GPT (EmuNAND, or maybe Nintendont ... I don't remember if it was added)
2)
You mentioned using NTFS.
Gamecube games will NOT work.
You need FAT32.
3) maybe you think FAT32 can't be used because the drive is too big, but it's false.
FAT32 can format partition up to 16TB. (not recommended, but possible)
4) you mentioned enabling multiple partition option.
why ? did you put Wii games on multiple partitions ? don't touch that option, that's NOT what you think. set it to OFF.
5) what you should do :
- use FAT32 partitions
- if possible, use only ONE partition (that's probably why it crashes, GPT seems to have a bug in USBLoaderGX if your drive have more than one partition. I'll fix that later)
- MBR is possible, with some limitation (max usable size is 4TB, by tricking the partition manager into creating the start of the last partition before the 2TB mark, but let's not try this for now)
- in the loader, do not enable multi partition option
- in the loader, set the Loader's IOS to 58
- in the loader, settings, hdd menu, click on the first option to scroll detected partitions and select the one where your Wii ISO are located (when I say iso, I'm talking about "game image", it should be .wbfs files and not .iso files)
- In the loader, select all your paths correctly (for gamecube games) in case you use multiple partitions, from the "user's paths" menu.
