("the Wii" does not support USB drives, individual titles do at their arbitrary standards, so the by far most common denominator is...)
is it MBR partitioned, with a single type C (FAT32 in LBA mode) partition?

What? i could load stuff from the Toshiba hard drives before, and yes, is a single partition.
In the MBR system (have you confirmed it's MBR and not GPT or whatever?) partitions have type codes, while they are absolute chaos for historical reasons (and many thing will partially ignore them for the same reason), a "large" FAT32 partition should be type C

Example (lol it's wrong, type B when it should be C since it's over the 8.something GB limit of CHS addressing, but as said most PC operating systems nowadays are sloppy):
Just to clear a few things up - Stated that you're using a Toshiba HDD. You stated 1gb, but I think you meant 1tb.
Do have a google as to how Wii file & folder structures meant to be. Provide what you used.
Provide info on what loader/s you're using (USBL GX etc.). Eg. Certain ticks need to be activated within loaders.
Get a bit more in-depth with your methods. Help us to help you

Good morning,
did you use "wii backup manager" to transfer your games to the hard drive?
maybe you need a Y cable for better connectivity with the hard drive??
OK it was morning, i meant to say 1TB, not GB, i derped out, also i havent tested Wii or GCN, but i got ps1 to work on Wiistation, is just that the cable wasnt being read properly.

I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.

I used to drink alcohol fairly often. Never to the point of it being a problem, but like 2-3 beers with dinner each night, or a few cocktails or glasses of Scotch or something. Started smoking/vaping weed a lot a few years back which killed 90% of my interest in booze. Now I stopped smoking/vaping weed as much and just deal with life the boring way most of the time+1

Spoke to Tom Fulp the other day, if he can find his old Newgrounds site content like the mini Flash animations from the 2000's that played on the portal.

So far no response, but he did say that he'll find them. Wayback Machine doesn't have em.

@SylverReZ, atleast the 1999 versión of pico's school is avaliable (the difference between it, the 2006 versión and the 2016 versión is that the speed of the game depends of the speed of your computer and that it had the og soundtrack)

@SylverReZ, although the "secrets" system where the game was has been removed. Also pico vs uberkids had a netplay versión that was shutdown, although the swf file has been found

SylverReZ:
@Xdqwerty, Nope. There are two download buttons on the same page, where you can download the original under a file called "bear.exe". "bear2.exe", however, is the updated game in a Flash projector.

@Xdqwerty, That's been there for a long time, too. People who search for lost media don't look hard enough lmao.
