I recently got a new 4 TB external for my computer and decided to re-purpose an old 1 TB one for Wii Homebrew. I put all of the Wii games I wanted on the drive using Wii Backup Manager, and USB Loader found and recognizes all of them; except for one. Super Mario Galaxy. It doesn't show up in the game list at all. I can tell that it's detecting it in one way or another, because when I downloaded all of the missing game covers, it showed that it was downloading ones for it (RMGE01). I sought out some help in a Wii modding discord to no avail, so let me list some stuff here that I already know/have tried.

-Yes, the drive is properly formatted to FAT32.
-Yes, the game is in a correct folder, with the name RMGE01.wbfs
-Yes, the rom worked in Dolphin, and passed a verification in Wii Backup Manager, so I know it's a working rom.
-I also tried a second rom just to be certain, still to no avail.
-Yes, my Wii is a US Wii. (I've been informed that USB Loader doesn't have region lock issues, but I still feel the need to specify.)
-I've tried deleting the folder and manually recreating it, re-pasting both roms (individually, not at the same time) into it; no result.

I'm at a loss here. I can't find any similar issues with a google search and I can't put my finger on why this one game won't show up in my game list, but be recognized enough to download the game covers for it. Any and all help is appreciated.

How is the Size of your Game please.
Unfortunately I only have the PAL Version of the Game and it is 3,27 GB in Size.

Thank you.:)

It's possible it's showing up but with a blank banner or it's not able to download the cover so it's showing with a blank cover, could be a bad/corrupted dump.
