    GameCube Games issues on Nintendont.

    You're find with large SD cards as long as they are from a reliable maker, and you format them properly. I have used all kinds of sizes over the years and my main one right now is a PNY 512GB. I only buy PNY, SanDisk & Lexar. I'll try a 1TB once prices drop below $100 on one of them.

    Tutorial How to use a larger than 2TB Hard Drive on a Wii as a Single FAT32 Partition

    Beside what @nexxusty suggests, which is a great alternative, we are about to test spoofing the software to see if it will allow the formatting of more recent WD firmware versions & other drive manufacturers. We're hoping to have more insight over the upcoming weekend.

    Tutorial How to use a larger than 2TB Hard Drive on a Wii as a Single FAT32 Partition

    No worries, I didn't take it badly at all. For any testing the more the marrier. I still see the Seagate drive laying there when I'm at the house, which is about 3 to 4 days a week now. Otherwise, I'm staying overnight at the girlfriends house the other days. My daughter was recently taking up...

    Tutorial How to use a larger than 2TB Hard Drive on a Wii as a Single FAT32 Partition

    @XFlak Ya, that's my bad for being busy, tired and generally lazy. I have the unopened Seagate drive that was ordered to test this out still sitting next to my computer. I can start working on this early Saturday morning seeing I have my most of my weekends free again. I'll bump over to PM's...

    Tutorial How to use a larger than 2TB Hard Drive on a Wii as a Single FAT32 Partition

    Ok, I don't have any of the newer 5TB My Passport versions around any more, my last one must have gone with one of the systems I'd set up quite a while ago. The only newer My Passport version I still have (like in the link) is a Blue 4TB, they didn't make a 5TB of the Blue, so to closely match...

    I'll check my new version Passport that matches this and see if I can find out the firmware version on it.

    Interesting. It's been a while since I've purchased any passports and looking back at them they go back to 2020 including both the old and new case version of the passport. I tried searching for that drive model # and it's not coming up on Amazon for me.

    Didn't even know Nintendont worked with .nkit files. I strictly use GameCube 1:1 ISO's and Wii .wbfs files. There's also the difference of being detected and working. Do the ones you can see (your .nkit.iso files) load up and play just fine??

    I believe you can just drag the file onto the "Recover to ISO" exe, drop it there & the program will open up and start the process.

    Maybe, but I also think only one of the loaders can read GPT, everything else is MBR dependent. I think it might be if you only use USB Loader GX and Nintendont you can get away with GPT. But yes I do remember there being a discussion about this a little while back.

    A quick note - Make sure the drive is MBR and not GPT. It needs to be an MBR partition to work properly. There are tool recommendations in my link below if you need to convert the drive to MBR.

    Sounds about right if they are .wbfs files. The first file of multi file sets will be large like that and the second file will have the remaining part in it. Depends on what you mean by limit. A single FAT32 file has the 4GB limit, but Wii Backup Manager can split those like you seem to...

    @Psionic Roshambo, MP3s were designed to be as small as possible, so that they can be shared on the internet. WAVE files were more bigger in size and would take hours to upload back in the day.

    I used to have my entire music collection in FLAC, but there is so many songs and devices that I want to store them that lossless compression wasn't enough, not to mention compatibility

    a few years ago I decided to convert everything to mp3 with a relatively high bitrate, I had a terrible feeling I would regret doing that but to honest, I couldn't tell the difference in the audio quality after I did that

    I got the Google Pixel Pro buds, they're good enough for when I need portable audio. And some really cheap IEMs that Dankpods recommends, I think the KZ ZSN Pro
