sorry for late reply.I've a random one. My Wii U currently has a huge 2TB drive on it i'd now like to use for other purposes as I dont play the Wii U much anymore.. Is there a way to either backup my saves or copy the lot to a smaller drive? (I am not interested in making a clone 1:1, I know that cant be done and would not suit my purpose ie free up the huge 2TB drive for a better purpose)
extracting which files? a zip or rar?can someone send a video tutorial on how to extract the files onto your sd card or atleast explain it to me
the installer is used to not need the wad. using wad is dangerous and not the correct way to install cIOS (for now at least).Do I need to download the wads and put them on my SD before running the cIOS installers?
what you think : no
reality:
homebrew, yes : WiiU homebrew can use USB FAT32, but it was not used a lot.
WiiU games on FAT32 : no
Wii games on WiiU HDD : yes
WiiU and vWii on different partition : no
it's possible to install Wii and gamecube games on the WiiU HDD.
it's not possible to install WiiU games on the vWii FAT32 HDD.
hmm.... maybe.....don't use flash drive?
you didn't tell which device you are using, but I'll just guess you are not using a real HDD, but instead you are using flash drives (usb keys, usb stick, etc.)
don't use r53, it's worse.
HUB are not working with cIOS (so, no USB Loaders for wii games).
It works only with IOS58 (nintendont, other homebrew like emulators).
You can use the HUB as additional power source, where you plug your y-cable power into, but the drive or the y-cable data should not use HUB and be connected directly to USB Port 0 (back-top).
