HDD mounts when loading via HBC, but not via CF

[radu242]

I want to load WiiMC via Channel Forwarder. I have installed IOS58, reinstalled the HBC and reinstalled the WiiMC channel, so the HBC and WiiMC definetly runs now under IOS58.

WiiMC does now start when I open it via the channel forwarder, but my HDD seems like to be mounted and with a clicking noise (it restarts and loads up like i would turn it off and on). Finally, when WiiMC has been booted up, the HDD Drive is not listed because my HDD has not been booted up fast enough.

The strange thing is my HDD will be recognized and listed when i load WiiMC via the Homebrew Channel, so I think the problem has to be in the boot up code of the Channel Forwarder. Or does anyone got an idea, how i can fix it? I also can start up WiiFlow via the Starnight Channel and the HBC without any problems.

I use this HDD if it helps.

BTW: Great piece of software! 😉

Same here. IOS58, WiiMC 1.0.9, WiiMC Channel 1.4.
HDD gets recognized when I start WiiMC via HBC, but not when started via Channel.

What’s wierd is that i have the exact opposite. HDD seen if launched through Channel but not if launched through HBC.
Suits me fine but thought i would put it out there.
1.0.9 svn 486 with Enhancement Pack III for said build.

Hi everyone,

My buddies Wii was having the problem of his drive not being recognized when launched from HBC and CF 1.4 crashing back to the system menu. For those having problems running from HBC try removing from meta.xml. For those of you that are having problems with the CF try an older version of the forwarder. Version 1.1 works for my buddies wii. You can find the older copies of the CF here…
