USB Loader question

[Leeagt]

its a wiki page i think, im sure -1 can also means it cant find the drive/drive not compatable if you get me if you dont have a drive plugged in the wii and try to load it in a loader it gives a -1 error my guess would be to try the cios file and try the drive again.

Hard Drive Compatibility list

strange things happened with my hdd. think spindown kick in causing problems.

with covers you can select to auto download then, but depends what load your using.

the main problem reported are spin down. when you play a game the drive then spins down and is unable to spinup when needed causing the game to crash. with the WD you can get there management software and turn it down to never also the seagate you can do

Howdy.

Try the wad file below, its a backup loader.

Will boot USB/SD, SDHC if on version 4.0 and supported and Disc.

www.scopeh.co.uk/wads/NeoGammaR3Channel.rar

Download File and copy to SD Card, place into SD ROOT/wad

1. Boot up HBC
2. Load WAD Manager 1.4
3. Using cIOS 249 install the downloaded WAD File.
4. Restart Wii, Neo Channel should be installed.
5. Load up mount the HD and lanuch you backups.


Try with HDD connected and powered before you start the loader
Try starting the loader, connect and power the HD, and then selecct mount WBFS
Try starting the loader, select mount WBFS, connect the HDD, and then power
Try starting the loader, select mount WBFS, power the HDD, and then connect it

Good Luck

Any problems send a pm

For setting up the hard driving or installing the loader on wii?

 

[Napster]

for installing the loader onto the wii i worked out the hard drive side of it

 

[madnlooney]

put the loader wad file in the wad folder on your sd mate and you should have wad manager in a folder inside the app folder then on the wii goto hbc and wad manager should be there load that and then install the loader wad file mate and your done.

 

[Napster]

tried that, dont even see file

 

[marra]

it is a wad file your putting in the wad folder and not a dol isnt it mate,
if its a dol put it in a folder and rename the loader file to boot.dol then put that in the apps folder then load it through hbc.
or do you mean you cant see wad manager go into your apps folder>wadmager folder then check the dol file is named boot.dol
