yep, looks like it was corrupted. I just turned the iso into wbfs (didn't matter if it was ntfs as it was still split on my backup drive):

I'll transfer it to my actual vwii drive tomorrow. I own the vc version, so it doesn't matter right now.

everything seems to be fine with my isos and wbfs, and after a while for some reason i cant transfer any games to the 16gb usb now, not even smaller ones, so i think it might be like damaged or smthing, but the biggest problem i got rn is the 32gb one.

for some reason i can't transfer more than 4 games onto it, whenever i reach 4 games and try transferring something else, it either won't transfer, show an error, or transfer the games unproperly making em get stuck on like a loading screen or whenever i start em

i got no clue why this is happening and its kinda frustrating just seeing all that space i cant use after i transfer 4 games.

Does manually copy/pasting the wbfs files to the wbfs folder on the usb flash drive fails too?

i can copy the games into the usb but it still happens, after i copy more than 4 games they either don't start and get stuck on a black screen, or they just get stuck on an infinite loading screen

Then i would suggest trying a external hdd or an sd card (although it might be slow), test again with +4 games and see if they run. If so, then it's the flash drive.
Also do you have your usb flash drive formatted as wbfs?

Then format it as wbfs with wbfs manager, for slightly better compatibility. You should also do a Syscheck and post it here, to see if your is missing any IOSs that are crucial for it to read usbs properly.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Indeed. I've been working on getting this Infecutus chip to work on my PS2. But after soldering, I realised that a plastic piece was missing from the power ribbon cable to the power and eject buttons.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Now I could go with soldering the contacts from the cable to the connector on the mobo, but doesn't sound like a good permanent solution.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Man, that's beyond my brain :rofl: I'm no good with hardware for now. I'd like to get into hardmods in future though
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Maybe start practice soldering. Get a cheap-ass soldering iron and follow some good YouTube tutorials.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Least my experience has gotten better than over a decade ago. My iron would constantly bump into components and break them.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Sounds good. I actually did soldering but like 16 years ago for school so uuuuh probably rusty haha
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Same here. I did soldering at school from a teacher who I honestly liked since he had plenty of good electronics experience.
