Dont count on it, mate. I have issues using existing USBs with MPlayer CE due to their new NTFS support, and while it may be a good idea I suspect Eke-Eke would not want such issues to plague his wonderful work so far.

when a stable and bugfree libntfs port will be available, this could be considered.

For the moment being, use SD cards or USB sticks formatted to FAT, really, I can't care less if this is more practical for you to store your 200GB ROM "collection" on the same drive...

ADD LIBNTFS (can be found on wiibrew/development tools)

Still the old unstable ported library, too much downsides for very few advantages, I think emulators on Wii do not need NTFS support, imo it's just waste of time & memory usage (i.e your Wii is not designed to replace your PC and never will)

As far as i know the library has been stable for some time now.. Hence its usage in several other homebrew apps. Never had any kind of issues using ntfs homebrew since day 1! Big advantage for example : no need for my pc to be online for the smb share :)

Still not interested in adding features like this, the more library you use the less memory you have for more important things. This is supposed to be an emulator after all, not the ultimate file browser with support for every existing file format. Also, i've been told that ntfs writing support was not really stable, which might not be important for media player or other homebrew that only read files, but is more problematic with emulators that regularely write sram & savestates to the disk.

No thanks. When i say i'm not interested, it means I won't be adding uninteresting features like that one. FAT32 support is already working perfectly, there is no advantage in using NTFS on wii (beside making a few users happy because it's "easier" for them ;-) )
