I have a little bit of a query. With the Wii U, it's possible to have over 300 games on an attached hard drive, yet it does not register the games loaded outside that limit. However, they are still on the hard drive, and appear when below the 300 game limit. So I am wondering, if I have one hard drive that contains only the games that are within the 300 game limit, and have a larger secondary hard drive that contains those games, plus all the other games available, would be easy to delete the games when no longer needed on the first hard drive, and install the new games from the second hard drive to the first, whenever I'd like them? The Wii U hardware is designed for transferring data between hard drives. So is this possible?

I believe so, but I do not know for sure. You can bypass the 300 limit with system config tool, but be warned, it's dangerous if you don't know what you're doing.

What do you mean by "bypass"?
System config tool does actually list all titles (even above 300) and can launch them iirc but it can not alter that value of 300 to something like 400 so the homescreen can handle 400 titles, right?

    truth be told, i agree with psi, i dislike both candidates, but i'd probably vote trump simply because the economy was better during his presidency

    Just be careful, if trump ends up winning and using project 2025 America might really change...for the worse.
