Question RVLoader Not Booting on Wii Boot

[bing.l.s]

A short time ago I posted about not being able to play Gamecube games off of my USB drive. I was previously using a Samsung FIT Plus 64GB drive. I took the advice of other guides and I purchased a 128GB SanDisk 3.2 Ultra Fit.

I formatted the SanDisk to Fat32 with 32kb clusters and transferred the files from the Samsung drive. When I plugged the new drive into my Wii, the Wii gave no video output. The only way I could access RVLoader was by using the "Installed File" option in Priiloader. RVLoader would also not load when I try to go in through the Homebrew Channel.

Once I was in RVLoader, Gamecube games still did not work, still giving the message that says "An Error Has Occurred."

I tried many things, including getting a fresh install of RVLoader on my Wii, changing my drives clusters to 64kb, and trying to reinstall RVLoader multiple times. This was to no avail as I RVLoader stopped booting and continues to not boot when I power on my Wii.

This confuses me, as I purchased the recommended drive and properly installed RVLoader. I cannot see any other issue that I could be having and I cannot find any other posts dealing with this issue.

I am trying this on an untrimmed Wii with its disk drive removed. I am using the bottom USB port when it is lying down. I have tried this with Super Mario Sunshine. I am using the latest version of RVLoader as well.

Are you trying on an UNMODIFIED wii?
And how do you HOPE IT WILL WORK if you don't install homebrew chanel and related CIOS?
First you modify the wii with homebrew chanel and related CIOS and THEN you install RVLOADER
It will NEVER work IF YOU DON'T MODIFY IT

That's odd, the Sandisk usually works. You might have been unlucky again, or there could have been a hardware revision when they changed the product to USB 3.2 that has affected its compatibility. We've only previously tested the 3.1 version.

Have you checked that your Wii is updated to 4.3 firmware?

Yes, my SanDisk drive is a 3.2 drive and my Wii firmware is 4.3.
