Sorry. I hacked my WiiU four days ago.

I have two 64gb usb pendrive and I receive a message that I can't use those two at the same time.

So my question is, there is some way to use two pendrive at the same time in the Wii U?

It is not recommended to use pen drives on the WiiIU you should be using a hdd instead. WiiU games especially games like Breath of the Wild constantly write data tonyour storage device. A HDD is designed to be constantly written to and read from whereas a pen drive is designed to only be written to every now and then but can be constantly read from. You are massively reducing the life expectancy of the pen drive by using it on your WiiU.

Who told you two USB devices can't be used?
Also... if they are pendrives, it doesn't matter if they're 1 or 2, USB pendrives aren't recommended to be used on a Wii U system. If they're too old, there's possibility that the USB stops working in the near future, or if you have use 'em on the daily basis writtin' and readin' stuff for like... the past 2 or 3 years, the possibilities for the USB pendrives to stop working is bigger. USB pendrives aren't created with the purpose of writting and reading big files on a constant basis.

The only way you can use them both is if one is formatted for vWii the other for Wii U, and then you have to use a program (I'm blanking on the name of it right now) to keep the Wii U from trying to format the vWii drive. But as mentiond above it would be better to get an external hard drive, as there is a way to add Wii and Gamecube games as well as Wii U all on one drive.

    If you just want pi for emulation no point when Anbernic releases new shit every two seconds

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What's really cool about Pi's tho is you can have multiple SD cards with different OS on each SD card and change from say a gaming machine to a full fledged pc if wanted
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Plus all bios are set up and usually includes at least 128gbs or 64
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah but if your main goal is just to play n64 and GameCube you can save about $50 and have the portability option

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    True, but on 2 monitors at 4k. Its just want you want really, to each they own.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    For a kids aspect Anbernic would be the better option they'd probably melt over the price on a good 4k display

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    For that texasroo guy, I'd recommend the Spell and speak as his first system.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    So they buy a pi5 kit for about $150 and say a 28" 4k display probably looking around $400 total
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They'll be getting in the territory of portable Pcs anyway

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Again you get what you pay for, its like buying a S series for $300 but its only 1440p native, if you want true 4k, gotta get the X model for $500. But yea you right, when moms buying it anyways, you gotta stay cheap.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They could use HD out on their TV no real need for a monitor these days tbh the purists will disagree
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'm kind of phasing out on the need for wanting all these consoles cool to have but they just become dust build ups
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I here ya there, I have too many myself, and have hard time letting them go, since most of mine I've modded at some point. Anymore I just play Switch on the go, seriesx at home.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    ack my throat
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I need to invest in some storage totes tbh
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tots?
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tootles? Wtf
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Oh tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Oh totes , lol, like Tupperware storage, I gotcha

    I'm designing my own entertainment cabinet for my man hole, to store all my systems, then I'm also designing a power supply/HDMI switcher so I can switch to whichever system I want, and power it also. Already picked up the cabinet board, but tinkering with my drawings before start
