How to use usb loader for wii ps3#
The PS3 doesn't require an external HDD because it has 500gb built in so I don't know why you're saying the Wii U HDD situation is similar to the PS3 when clearly it's totally different since the Wii U only has a tiny amount of memory built in and therefor will require an external drive for anyone that expects to actually download any games or any other media on it. More so than the other consoles and I used the PS3 as a direct comparison example.
Fri 23rd Nov simply saying the Wii U is actually very bulky and clumsy in the end, which I just noticed even more so after this article. Yes, I own a PS3 so I know where you're coming from - I had the Phat which had linux taken out because of that hacking tosser GeoHot (he's like the idiot who didn't stop talking in class so we all got punished), and now a 'Mk I' Slim with backward compatibility removed, no card readers built-in and less usb ports at the FRONT.īut this is a site for Nintendo-related exchanges, so I only drag up my Sony experience since it seems that it is all you can relate to and not be trolled into accusations of fan-boy gainsaying. Where else can you tidily charge the PS3 controllers for example? Instead of acting like an old fart (and I should know because I am one) and sticking with what you think you know, open your mind to the possibilities. You don't need a power brick for all external hard drives either - whatever works with the Sony - since that's your benchmark - will work exactly the same way with the Wii U -from a power supply perspective with LESS untidiness because the usb ports are.

What would you rather do - have your Gamepad on a cradle-charger next to your chair or to have to go over to the TV cabinet and disconnect the untidy usb cables from the console then have to hide them somewhere. I'm well aware of the cables but I think you're assuming that everything has to be fed from a point near the TV.
It's an opinion which has some sense to it but nobody's holding a gun to your head to buy one.
You don't like them, that's fine.īut repeated commentary like this is trolling, albeit a lot more polite.
Fri 23rd Nov this is your second post about bulky brick power adaptors. You can fool some people by making the basic console size smaller, Nintendo, but I'm not that easily tricked. I don't really want a PS3 but I'm just making a point. You know, in terms of design neatness I would much rather go with the likes of PS3 which has a built-in power brick and 500 gb hard drive, isn't that much different in size to the Wii U, certainly the new PS3 for sure, and only requires a single power socket. In fact, it's a frikin mess of a system that's just gonna clutter up my living room with lots of needless crap. This really isn't a very neat or slick console at all when all is said and done. There's even the sensor bar that you have to stick on top of your tv too. Then there's all the different cables coming from each of these things as well. There's the consoles itself which comes with the huge power brick that takes up one socket, the Wii U GamePad and it's charger that has it's own mini power brick and also requires it's own socket, and the external hard drive which adds more bulk and for most people will require another power supply too. When I actually take a second to consider what's really required for a fully functioning Wii U, that does all the stuff any core gamer would reasonably want it to do, it turns out this is actually a pretty bulky and clumsy console setup that takes up a lot more space and indeed plug sockets than I personally would like.
It also makes it inaccessible to computers and other devices, so you'll need to dedicate a HDD entirely to the Wii U. You'll need to format it to use it with the Wii U, and that process erases any and all data on the drive. First though, if you're going to be using a USB drive you already owned, make sure you back-up everything you need off of it before you begin. Once you've got hold of your USB drive, it's a simple process connecting it to your Wii U. How do I hook up my USB drive to my Wii U? Our tests were performed on a 500GB Iomega HDD powered by Y-cable not listed on Nintendo's site, and we encountered no problems. Nintendo maintains a (currently very short) list of specific USB hard-disc drives known to be compatible with the Wii U at this link, though it's far from exhaustive - any drive that fits the basic specifications (external adaptor or Y-cable power supply, 2TB or less) should work. Note that USB thumb drives and flash storage are not recommended as external storage on the Wii U Nintendo has explained that because flash storage has a maximum number of reads/writes, it's unsuitable for the type of continuous data access needed to run games.
