Hi guys.
As the title says, I cannot get any file manager apps to load. Wiiexplorer, Wiiflow, USBloader are all stuck at mounting devices or loading/initializing SD card.
I have a normal Wii, firmware 4.3E.
I installed Priiloader and cIOS as per wii.guide tutorials.
Here is my syscheck report

EDIT: I had hermes installed:
IOS224[57] (rev 65535, Info: hermes-v5): Trucha Bug, NAND Access, USB 2.0

which I removed with WiiModLite, but this does still not solve the problem.


What did I do wrong?
Thanks!

EDIT2:
I copied the apps folder to USB and removed the sd card, now the usb loader loads, but why does it not accept the sd card being inserted?
Post automatically merged:

Found the solution:
My SD card was formatted FAT32 with 8192 bytes allocation size.
I reformatted it with 32Kb allocation size and now it works fine.

Some formatting apps just keep failing to format to 32K cluster (Fat32). There are ways around it.
Your SD card must be small if you formatted using Windows.

It's getting to be less rare these days. Always double check the cluster sizes after a format.

    Update on my brother: He's home now, tired and hungry, obviously, but other than that, seems to be doing fine.

    That's a relief to hear. Do you know what happened?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Any idea what happened? I hope that your brother's doing good.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Well, from what I've heard from my parents, he had a seizure last night, perhaps an epileptic episode, fucking died, had a near death experience, my dad called the paramedics, they showed up, took him to the hospital, and he woke up covered in tubes, and started complaining.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    He couldn't eat until after his MRI, when he had a bomb pop.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    What matters now is that he's doing alright.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But you still don't know what it was?
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Has he had seizures before?
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    apparently stress can cause seizures, my brother had one during a test once
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had one before that, and never had one since
