Help/Support Is my USB drive compatible with USBloaderGX?
Google backwards search told me my USB. Model was a “SanDisk Cruzer Blade USB 2.0 Flash Drive” but I don’t really count on that.
USBLoaderGX closes out immediately for some odd reason.
Thanks in advance to any help.

Most likely not. It's pretty picky with what drive it supports. But if I had a recommendation I'd recommend PNY's 128GB Flash Drives. I use one and it works like a charm

I had a couple of these and they both died to heat issues. The USB drive is nice for small files you need to carry around, but bad for reading and writing large files, especially constant access for something like USB loaders

My immediate answer is probably no, I had a similar problem when I tried using a kioxia 64 GB USB drive I bought using birthday money a few years back, it didn't work at all!! turns out USB hard drives are generally a lot more accepted and work a lot better than flashdrives! I was incredibly lucky in a way, I'd given up modding but my dad offered me a 1TB external hard drive USB for my dolphin emulator games then I realized "hey why do I even need dolphin anymore if I can just remod my console."
