I've been using an external hard drive for playing games on Nintendont through the vWii. The issue is I can't multipurpose the drive for both Nintendont and storing games from Nusspli. I can only have one hard drive attached at a time, so would the best thing to do be to move the Wii/Gamecube ROMs to the SD card and re-purpose the external hard drive for playing Wii U games? Would there be a performance drop on Nintendont playing games off of the SD compared to an external hard drive? I'm just trying to figure out the best way to have both.

The best speed is on the HDD drive, gamecube on sd is a bit slower but perfectly fine.
I have all my games on 2 HDD, one for gamecube/Wii/WiiU loadiine (hdd fat32) games, as far as I remember, loaders still don't support Ntfs, and the other (formatted partition wiiu) for some wiiU games, that is the best set.
I have also many games on my nand, I have multiple wiiu games (wup format ) for the speed and putting wiiware-WiiUware /forwarders on them.

Ah, so it is possible to do all 3 but only through WiiU loadiine. Do you have to interchange the two hard drives? From what I remember, it can only power one hard drive with a Y-Cable.
Why not? Just inject the GCN games and install them with NUSspli.
I'm unfortunately not a big fan of injects. I have a ton of ROM Hacks and other titles, it's just much easier to boot into to Nintendont to play them.

As you said, it's only one at the time and loadiine uses SD, as far as I know, you cannot put "all" on the HD (at the moment for sure), if would be nice if possible. I think like many, I use loadiine for launching Ds title too.

    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.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    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
