Have you tried launching games? Do they work?

Yes it will not appear as a drive in Win anymore, when you want to add/remove games you can do so with WiiBackupManager.

Thank you so much man !

Glad it helped!

Yeah, it launches games just fine, i tried Kirby Adventure Wii and no problem, I'm currently moving all my games now

But there's one thing that I may never know

How did it get this way ? Did ustealth broke something ? Because before formatting to WBFS Ustealth showed the drive as hidden when it wasn't and when I unhid it it did nothing

wbfs is a nintendo own format. Only WiiU can read it. If iam right there is a special Windows tool that can be used for it. Wii Backupmanager can handle wbfs files, maybe also the filesystem.

I think it's because of the usb flash drive itself. Both Wii/Wii U's don't like them much, formatting it as wbfs helps abit with the compatibility, but it's not always guaranteed that it'd work. In your case it did.
