("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.

If you just want pi for emulation no point when Anbernic releases new shit every two seconds+1 -

BigOnYa:
What's really cool about Pi's tho is you can have multiple SD cards with different OS on each SD card and change from say a gaming machine to a full fledged pc if wanted -

Yeah but if your main goal is just to play n64 and GameCube you can save about $50 and have the portability option+1

For a kids aspect Anbernic would be the better option they'd probably melt over the price on a good 4k display+1

So they buy a pi5 kit for about $150 and say a 28" 4k display probably looking around $400 total

Again you get what you pay for, its like buying a S series for $300 but its only 1440p native, if you want true 4k, gotta get the X model for $500. But yea you right, when moms buying it anyways, you gotta stay cheap.

They could use HD out on their TV no real need for a monitor these days tbh the purists will disagree

I'm kind of phasing out on the need for wanting all these consoles cool to have but they just become dust build ups

I here ya there, I have too many myself, and have hard time letting them go, since most of mine I've modded at some point. Anymore I just play Switch on the go, seriesx at home.

I'm designing my own entertainment cabinet for my man cave, to store all my systems, then I'm also designing a power supply/HDMI switcher so I can switch to whichever system I want, and power it also. Already picked up the cabinet board, but tinkering with my drawings before start

But yea, I have frogger arcade cabinet that I gutted and put a Pi4 then Pi5 into, but it never gets played much anymore, should sell it. Even when the kids come over, they don't want to play on it, just the xbox. TMNT and Simpson's arcade is still so fun on it, esp w 2 players.
