Hardware WBFS + USB question

[kimikal27]

i do think that GX works aswell
it's my favorite loader too

 

[VoltManEXE]

Alright, I'll go install it right away!

 

[kimikal27]

let me know how it goes

 

[VoltManEXE]

Uhh... what should I use as the base IOS version?

 

[kimikal27]

37 is good
but waz told that 57 as better usb speed

 

[VoltManEXE]

I chose 38. I did some Google-ing (lol) and it said that 38 is the best for the Wad Installer. Of course, i'll probably never use it, but its good to have an "in case". Its taking forever and a day to load right now, and my flash drive's light keeps blinking on and off consistantly. USB Loader GX won't do anything else, just says loading... Should I just power off my Wii or something and try again?

EDIT: Okay... so no games lsited, and I have 2 ISO's on my flash drive... cIOSX failed...

 

[kimikal27]

did u format the pen to fat already?
and make sure u connected the pen in the right socket

dont say failed cuz it's not
u are messing up somewhere
but if u continue having problems just try another loader

 

[VoltManEXE]

Yeah, its formatted to FAT32, and its in the right socket.
Maybe I should try installing the cIOSX on 37 or 57?

 

[kimikal27]

try another loader then
i advice cfg loader or wiiflow

try it

 

[kimikal27]

by the way
in GX loader u might have to go to the settings and select your partition to FAT

 

[VoltManEXE]

I think I may have made a bit of a noobish mistake...
The revision I had was 874, and the loader didn't have support for cIOSX. I'm updating it now to the latest revision. But im reformatting my SDHC card at the moment. Its giving me issues loading things, freezing entirely too much. So i'm just using the "format h: /fs:fat /a:4096" command as suggested.

EDIT: Well, I get to loading it and it tells me I need to select or format a partition. I select a partition, I get a DSI exception. I format a partition, I STILL get a DSI exception!
EDIT2: (But, I'm loading it from the USB drive, still formatting the SD. And, me being stupid, just realized why you can't format something when you're reading from it.

)

 

[kimikal27]

try another loader

 

[VoltManEXE]

I'll do that after if this doesn't work. Hopefully it does. But if it doesn't, onto WiiFlow!

 

[kimikal27]

so?
did it work?

 

[VoltManEXE]

Just completed formatting the SD card. Now I'll load the USB Loader and edit this post to let you know how it goes.

EDIT! Of course it doesn't work? Why would we want that?! But no sadly it doesn't work... It still doesn't detect the games...

 

[kimikal27]

again
try another loader

now it's all you since im falling asleep...
ill check the thread in the morning
good luck

by the way, alot of ppl are using the FAT system already so the ciosx works and the loaders work, we just have to find out whats wrong

 

[VoltManEXE]

I'm downloading WiiFlow right now (wow, its 97 MB). But while I'm waiting, USBLGX said my flash drive was "FAT1". I have no idea what that means, but am I supposed to reformat it to something in particular? Like how the wiibrew page had a specific command for formatting SDHC cards? (which by the way runs much better now

)

 

[kimikal27]

no need to reformat
that fat1 means that gx found the partition
are u sure u have isos in the pen?

and on GX, go to settings and check is the fat partition is selected, it needs to be

 

[VoltManEXE]

Yeah, I put Galaxy 2 on it just to test if it works (which makes no sense since I have the real game, but I will put my other ISO's on there).
Am I supposed to make a folder or something? Its only on the root.

 

[kimikal27]

iso straight to the root of the pen

did u check the settings to see if the partition is picked?
