Hi.
I've been using a 4GB LG USB drive to play my Wii games via USB loader GX. As it's only 4GB some games won't fit on it so I got a couple of 16GB off eBay. They both work fine for normal things and both hold the Wii games on them fine. However, when I load a game from the 16GB drives all I get is a black screen and have to reboot the Wii. Games that do fit on the 4 GB drive and work fine won't play on the 16GB??If anyone could shed some light on this it would be much appreciated or recommend a large drive that works, that?d be great too. Thanks

Why mess with the flash drives. If you buy something that is not on the list of supported devices, then you're just taking a chance. If you're gonna go USB, why not go big with something like Western Digital, or Seagate hard drives, 320GB or 500GB. I've done this for several people and everyone is happy. You can hold many games in one partition; or you can split up the hd into two: one for games and one for multimedia/wads.
