    Default Black screen when trying to play games from HDD?

    I've been using my Wii with a WBFS external drive for a few years now without any problems, I just occasionally update it with ModMii and it plays everything I want it too.

    I use USB Loader GX, Configurable USB Loader and WiiFlow, and they've all worked perfectly until recently, now every time I try to launch a game from any of them, the screen just goes black and the system freezes, with the blue drive light stuck on.

    Any ideas please? Tried updating it again but no luck, can I unmod it and then mod it again? Cheers.

    The same game or every game?

    In Configurable USB Loader you might need to play round with the IOS setting for the game (in the options)

    It's every game with every loader, they all worked fine last week, now none of them work at all.

    Is the drive plugged in the correct USB port?

    I saw this once when there were too many game saves on the wii, deleted a few and it worked so left them deleting what they didn't need

    Had this happen to me.
    Updated the Wii to Official 4.3E, wiped the external drive (after backing all games up) and changed to NTFS Support with the WBFS Folder instead and re-ModMii'd.

    WBFS is flakey at best and NTFS with a WBFS Folder works a fuck load better and easier!

    Thanks to DejaVu
