NAND shows up and I cant change partition when on the gamecube thing on Wiiflow 4.1. I have a FAT32 usb that has a folder called Games/"Game's Id"/game and I put it in the usb port (the right one when facing the usb ports) and I go on wiiflow and it isn't read. I use DMtoolbox to extract it in its proper form, I made it optimised and aligned automatically. I installed DIOS MIOS 2.9 and yeh thats all i can say it just doesnt work out of no where I was working it before. Not sure why it doesn't work. Thank you.

is your FAT32 partition the first partition of your drive?
only the first one will work (not the first FAT32).

Games/"Game's Id"/game

games/GameID/game.iso
only the red part changes between games.
You can also add game's title if you want.
games/Zelda WindWaker [GZLP01]/game.iso (not the game name, but the 4 letters g+a+m+e)

if you have a game with two discs, put the two isos in the same folders.
Wiiflow accepts different filenames, but for compatibility reason it's best to stick with the official one : game.iso and disc2.iso
games/Tales Of Symphonia [GQSEAF]/game.iso
games/Tales Of Symphonia [GQSEAF]/disc2.iso

Note that it's better to not extract the games's files and keep the ISO format, as two disc based games need it.

it order of priority I would try :
- RAW (1:1 clean iso), only rename it and put it in the correct folder. This has the best compatibility
- Compressed/optimized
- Extracted
- Aligned

It still doesn't work I put it in, I go on Wiiflow and go on the gamecube option, go on settings try to change the partition but I can't it's stuck on SD. Same as all other options, It doesn't say USB1 I can't change it.

Are you sure it's the latest version ?
Old version worked only with SD card and DML.
To work with USB and DM, all loaders needed an update. I don't remember which version Wiiflow added DM/USB support.

I use wiiflow 4.2 witch works with me, make sure you have the directory set to usb1 and not set to load off sd in the settings.
DM=Dios MIOS load games off USB
DML=DIOS MIOS load games off sd card

So I've tried a lot of things, DIOS MIOS BOOTER doesn't work it said apploader size is zero or something, I tried wiiflow 4.2 and i went on the gamecube option, I couldn't change to USB1 on any options and yeh I've downloaded DIOS MIOS 2.10 and installed it on ios 236 I've made this work before but for some odd reason it suddenly stopped working. I might've tinkered with some options by accident but yeh. I might just try playing games with dios mios lite now on my sd.

I am using Wiiflow Lite and I have a NTFS usb drive that plays my Wii games on the vWii. Is there a way to make it work so I can get my USB to read my GameCube games?
