Use a portable USB drive with Y-Cable and plug the Y-Cable temporary to an external power supply.Info: A additionaly scratching sound will indicate a headcrash.

A drive with every few seconds klick and beeb sound is underpowered and needs a Y-Cable, as the motor cant spin up.Possible error indication : The drive spins up and is recognized, but the USBLGX user interface shows no games and stops responding.A drive used on Wii without Y-Cable might need one on WiiU.A only USB 3.0 drive is backward compatible with USB 2.0 for datatransfer, but it don`t need less power.A portable USB drive that is specified to be used on USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 can theoretically run without Y-Cable.A USB drive powered by a seperate external power supply doesn`t need a Y-Cable.A USB stick already does this rudimentary and they cant provide the same wear leveling features like a SSD does that has space for a extra controller for that. Because of the WiiU`s own encrypted filesystem not all mechanics for wear leveling can take affect. WiiU mode: A USB flash drive stick compared to a SSD used for WiiU mode will faster wear out (limited write cycles).WBFS has to be first and active partition and can formated by Wii Backup Manager. Just a hint: Try WBFS as filesystem on flash drives for Wii games only, but has less or none support of other homebrew.Use win32diskimager to flash zzblank.img to the USB drive ( NOTE: It removes everything!), then use fat32formater to reformat. To be sure the fat32 partition starts at the beginning of the drive and there is no space or small partition in front of it.On USBLGX 1280+ auto IOS reload at game change doesn't work.Low transfer speed, if installing a game from disk to drive.Only or very long black screen until game starts.Not correct initialized or recognized USB stick.Wii/vWii: If your lucky, it might be compatible but specification are subject of change and there is the possibility they not work properly anymore.Note: If wish to use one (this is NO Guaranty!), check for a quality USB-stick from brands like Sandisk or Kingston and not the cheapest on ebay. Also Nintendo don't recommend them, so best don't use them. They mostly cause Problems with USB Loaders, same for drive enclosures. Don`t use a flash drive pen, USB key, USB stick or flashcard adapter.You can lose entire partitions !įlash drive pen, USB key, USB stick or flashcard adapter : NEVER EJECT the SD card, or plug/unplug drives while inside USB Loader GX !
