'''Anyone is free to edit this list though you must create an account first. Vandals will be banned and their IP blocked from further edits.'''

1. If you are the first person to add a Device, then the confirmed column should read 0 (as it is unconfirmed).  Every person should then add 1 to that when they have verified that outcome.

 

2. '''Keep it to English!''' Most people at GBATemp have decent English, if you can't say something in English, then write it down in whatever language you speak and hopefully someone will translate it for you.

 

3. Try to fill out as much as you can.

 

4. Hugely important would be adding a link to the drive and where you bought it. Naming has been a little vague, lets be precise. Drives can differ from batch to batch. If the shop you purchased it from can't be found online, please find the manufacturers web page for that EXACT drive version.

 

5. If you are running the game using a card reader (SD, Memory Stick, CF, etc), list the READER, '''NOT THE CARD'''; USB cardreaders are bridge-like in that any card will work with a working reader. Similarly, if using an enclosure that wasn't sold at retail with your hard drive already in it, list the ENCLOSURE, NOT the drive itself.

Insert the USB device into your Mac.  Wait about 8-10 seconds, to make sure it's detected, and start System Profiler.  On the left hand column, under the Hardware heading, find USB.  On the top right pane, find and click on the device you are checking (check under the names USB Reader, Mass Storage Device, Generic Storage, Volume, etc.), and more information should appear to the bottom of this pane (now the bottom right).  In this area, search for the following information:

1. Check if Device is formated as FAT, FAT32 or NTFS

 

2. Make a Backup. There's a very small Chance that the Stick will get corrupted.

 

3. Load [http://www.wiibrew.org/wiki/GeeXboX GeeXboX]

 

4. Plug your Device in

 

5. See if it shows directories.

 

1. Grab your USB-Device

 

2. Check if it's formated as FAT/FAT32, Windows XP doesn't let you format big drives (AFIAK over 40GB) as FAT32, you need to use [http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/download/fat32format.zip FAT32Format] or a Linux live CD/DVD or a GParted Live CD/DVD.

 

3. Make a Backup. There's a very small Chance that the Stick will get corrupted.

 

4. Go to HBC, plug your Device in.

 

5. Load [http://www.wiibrew.org/wiki/USB_mass_storage_device_tester USB mass storage device tester]

 

1. Create a WBFS partition on the device, and load a game that is [USB Loader v1.x Game Compatibility|known to work]] onto the device.

 

2. Connect the device before turning your Wii on, to be safe. Enable any relevant "Disk mode", "USB storage mode" etc. beforehand.

 

3. Boot the game you recorded earlier.

 

4. '''Play the game for at least one hour before reporting back.''' Many devices appear to work at first, but have crippling stability issues.

 

1. Try to plug the Device at the other USB-Port.

 

2. Try to plug the Device in before entering/in Homebrewchannel. Then load App.

 

3.Try to plug in the Device and then power on Wii.

 

1. Try to find a spare Device that will show up.

 

2. Use this to boot the loader.

 

3. Once you have the "No partition found" screen, switch to the original Device.

 

4. Press A. Hopefully, the device will show up on the screen to be formatted.

 

5. If it works, on following loads, you will still need to swap. Instead of formatting every time, press A, then B to go back.

Its perfect for me ~I got this HDD recently, and it works awesomely for USB Loader GX. However, it seems to fail on Waninkoko's cIOS36 revs higher than 9. This might, however, be because of other reasons. -Speedy~|8}}

Newer drives (mine has firmware rev. 01.01A01) also do not have the virtual CD drive anymore and are ready to use right away (some drives in the past had to have a firmware upgrade to deactivate that function). Even though I had no spindown issues, I still followed this [http://tinyurl.com/c4tso8 guide] (opening the case is not necessary even though the guide claims that it is).|24}}
