Hacking Wii U and Wii/GC HDD connected at the same time

[bixxewoscht]

As the title says, is it possible nowadays to connect both HDDs with working Wii/GC Games in USB Loader GX?
My Setup is 2 HDDs with Y-Cable and a powered USB Hub.

I tried but couldn't get the Wii/GC HDD to load in USB-Loader GX.

I just did a search for "2 hard drives" in this forum and found multiple threads

 

[bixxewoscht]

Yeah me too but no good answer and nothing works for me so far.

If you have a powered USB hub, then you don't really need Y-cables.
The Wii/GC HDD has to be plugged into the first port (with the main plug on the Y-cable plugged in there since one of them is only used for power), which would be the top rear port. If you have both drives plugged into a hub you'll have to figure out the order of the ports on the hub yourself.
The Wii U HDD can be plugged into any free port but when using Y-cables it makes sense to plug it into the front.

If you're not using it yet, you might want to try running UStealth to hide the format nag every time you enter Wii U mode. You can download it at https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5r9qYof-ankMy1Fd29uSmJ3Smc/edit.

Anyone have problems plugging both hard drives in with gamecube games? I keep getting a black screen every time I try to boot one up in the vWii's USB loader GX. Please help out if you had issues

Get Mocha that makes a HDD an SD

 

[SCOTT0852]

Don't use Mocha Fat32 USB, that won't let you use your Wii U drive. Mocha is pretty outdated too, I think all it's used for now is that still-in-beta plugin system.

 

[M7L7NK7]

I use mocha for my unformatted drive with wii u/wii games on it

 

[SCOTT0852]

Huh. I didn't think you could do that.

Mocha makes the Wii U think the HDD is an SD so it doesn;t need to be formatted

Wii mode uses it as is

 

[SCOTT0852]

I knew that, but I didn't know Mocha Fat32 supported WFS drives.

My HDD is FAT32 and works fine, I just load up the USB Loader GX forwarder and all good to go

 

[bixxewoscht]

Yeah I use UStealth. I don't wanna use Mocha because I have Coldboot Haxchi running already. I'll try plugging in the HDDs as mentione and report back.

EDIT:

It works now with vWii HDD in the top port and the WiiU HDD in the HUB. Thanks.

My wii games work fine with USB loader GX. However lately my gamecube games will only boot into a black screen. I'm on mocha, no cbhc tho

 

[JediAviator]

When I unplug the Wii U HDD from the HUB, gamecube games seem to work fine in vWii USB loader GX... no way to keep both HDD plugged in at the same time?

so how do you install those games with over 4GB in size on FAT32?

 

[SCOTT0852]

You can split Wii games into a .wbfs and a .wbf1.
