Hey all, not exactly sure where to post this, but I have run into an issue regarding my Ashida and was hoping someone could point me in the right direction.
I completed my Ashida and it was running (mostly) fine, when I decided to boot into a new game for the first time. After Nintendont allocated space for a memory card it booted and i was met with a blue screen and then nothing.
This has happened before so I thought nothing of it, and reset the console. However upon rebooting my USB wasn't being recognised and I could only boot into Priiloader. After hooking it up to a PC i found that my file structure had been corrupted. I reformatted my drive (after attempting data recovery) and booted the Ashida again, but it still won't recognise the drive.
I am a little bit stumped as I cannot load into the system menu (I did not keep the bluetooth module) and every other option simply tells me that it cannot find a FAT device.
Any help would be much appreciated!
 
Hello,

For the usb be recognized by the wii, you need to format it in FAT32 (I have an ashida and I had already usb issues because the format was exFAT until I format it in FAT32) The exFAT and others formats can be not recognized by the wii.
It can be a bug in Nintendont was corrupted your usb when you creating virtual memory card.
 
This sounds like either a USB formatting issue or a hardware problem with the USB port or wiring. Make sure the drive is formatted as FAT32 with MBR, not GPT, and try a different USB stick if possible. If Priiloader loads but no FAT device is detected, it often points to a power or soldering issue rather than software.
