Use Wii Backup manager. it will put the games in the correct place on your hard drive for you.

Also, Questions about vWii homebrew should be asked in the Wii Forum.

ive done this before without the need of wii backup manager if i remember correctly i can use a fat 32 file structure so i shouldnt need to ?

yes, but you likely have your file paths wrong.

Root/:wbfs/game folder's name [GameID]/gameID.iso or Root/:wbfs/gameID.iso (or.wbfs)

But I'd recommend just letting WBM handle it.

Are you sure the Wii can see the drive? remember, they need to be Externally powered or using a Y-Cable.

im using a y cable and the wii is seeing the drive cos it asks me if i want to format when starting the wii u
ive got it as

root/wbfs/gameid

This is a virtual Wii question. it only pertains to Wii u. The Wii forum would give incorrect advice This thread is posted in the correct forum

Try to use CFG USB Loader instead... what kind of IOS Base did you used? or what guide did you follow

GodlikeStatus · Nov 16, 2016

i followed the guide on here it was all working fine like half a year ago ....then i needed my usb hdd so i formated it ...i kept my sdcard tho and all the files on it so i know thats fine...its just usb loader wont list the games for whatever reason

Bu2d85 · Nov 16, 2016

Did you specify the game path in the usbloadergx settings?

it shows 7gig free out of 80....

huma_dawii · Nov 16, 2016

Seems like an HDD problem then, make sure you do the formatting again, with the mini partition tool, is gotta be primary, fat32 and 32k cluster

GodlikeStatus · Nov 16, 2016

thats what it has been formatted too

Try it again, it may have just screwed up. it happens sometimes.

You have an 80Gb hard drive? That doesn't seem right. Are you sure the path is set to use the USB hard drive and not the SD card? That or your formatting is all messed up.

GodlikeStatus · Nov 16, 2016

the path is set to use the usb hdd will find out about the formatting soon enough just refomated/ to fat 32 with 32kb cluster as primary just reputting games on now takes about a hour tho....:/ halfway done....on another note ...just watched a shooting star right in front of my house window latterly like infront of me

Just copy one of them, testing purpose only.
