I havnt touched wiiu hacking in years but i remember this was very useful and necessary. But i have some questions...

1. Can this allow me to use a larger 2+ TB Self-powered HDD?
2. Can i partition it so it has for example 2TB for wii u games, then 2TB for vWII. And I'm assuming homebrew, emulators, rooms can be on one of them as well?
3. Is this still the best option even with the release of Aroma and Tiramisu? If not, can you point me in the right direction for getting a self-powered 3.5" HDD working that is larger than 2TB for wiiu/wii and emulators/roms stored.

Thanks in advanced!

cool, except its corrupted my usb, nice, cunts
Hopefully you haven't reformatted it in haste if you had anything important on it. The way U-Stealth works is... well, you probably don't care right now. But if you used it correctly, it's reversible with the same application that you used on the drive in the first place. Unless, of course, you formatted it because you thought it was corrupted.

View attachment 5663 You cannot make changes to an unknown boot sector type!

I'm getting this error. I think its because my drive is more than 2TB and formatted to GTP. The drive that I have is a Seagate 4TB Backup plus Desk Top Drive.

Can you please see what I can do to make this work.

Thanks
I'm having the same problem is there any solution?

Cyan, what do you mean with an "etc" folder? I created a new folder in my HDD titled "etc", but my WiiU still asks me to format it. Isn't it as simple as creating a folder named "etc"? What am I missing? I only plug in 1 HDD in my WiiU at a time. I do, however, use a Y-kabel since the HDD doesn't have enough power otherwise, but I don't think that's the problem.

I'm wondering the same thing. I want to partition my hard drive into two formats, one for Wii U and one for vWii. Did you ever figure this out?

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot

    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
