Just need an quick answer, does the USB in use for USB Loader GX have to be a maximum of 32GBs? I know looking it up that for normal use they only use 32GB flashdrives, I just want to be sure. Thanks in advance.
i use a 64gb flash drive and my friend uses a 1tb hard-drives so dont worry about it. just expect slower load times. (not that bad) and more risk for corruption. (all hard drives corrupt tho)Just need an quick answer, does the USB in use for USB Loader GX have to be a maximum of 32GBs?

Fantastic, that makes things nicer. Thanks a lot.i use a 64gb flash drive and my friend uses a 1tb hard-drives so dont worry about it.
USB Loader GX kinda forces you too thoI'd actually recommend the opposite: don't use flash drives on a Wii at all.

its still a hard driveForces you to use a flash drive? No it doesn't. I have a standard USB 2.0 drive enclosure with a 1TB WD HDD in it.
Flash drives and hard drives are not the same thingits still a hard drive
i use my harddrive as a flashdriveFlash drives and hard drives are not the same thing
Personally I'd rather not use a flashdrive, I did just buy a WD My Passport 1TB external harddrive from my workplace and tried to format for USB Loader GX and it wouldn't load it on the WBFS Manager. Any suggestions? If this type of external can't work I can return it, but if I can make this work than that's preferable.They're not the same thing. Hard drives have magnetic platters or NAND memory and support a lot more of the ATA/SATA command protocol than a single-chip memory/controller found on a thumb drive.
wbfs manager can only read wbfs formatted drives id recommend using wii backup manager as not only is it easier but you can format your drive and save backups in different formatsPersonally I'd rather not use a flashdrive, I did just buy a WD My Passport 1TB external harddrive from my workplace and tried to format for USB Loader GX and it wouldn't load it on the WBFS Manager.
