I've got a 1 TB, with 3 partitions(WBFS, FAT32, NTFS). All retro roms are on FAT32 with the emus on my SD card. NES, SNES, gameboy advance, gameboy color, atari2600 roms all work. Genesis and turbo16 roms DO NOT. Im using genplus and hugo emus. Each of them have an option to load ROMS through USB, but when I chose this option on both of them it shows the contents of my SD card??? I cant get genplus and hugo to recognize an external hard drive.

I also tried loading some 7z genesis roms through my SD card and get nothing but a black screen. Does genplus support 7z like the other emus?

Do I have to install something else to get these 2 emus to read my external hard drive?

BTW cant wait til wii64 is fixed

Edit: 7z not supported. Had to unzip. Can play on SD, but still not external harddrive

In case anyone else is interested, I figured it out. Set all 3 drives as primary and make the retro roms drive as active. The WBFS partition doesnt have to be set as active for USB loader GX to read it.

All partitions should be active if you want to connect WBFS partition to the PC with a program like WBFS manager.
