Can’t play wbfs GameCube files on wii

Yimmortal · Jul 1, 2022

I have my GameCube games in wbfs format on a usb drive. They are in the wbfs folder. If I use usb loader I can see my GameCube games showing up. When I click on a game I get a black screen.

I have tried to put the games in the games folder as well and then they don’t show up on usb loader.

If I launch nintendont directly and select usb, the games do not show up there either. My only option that shows up is “boot gc disc in drive [disc01]

I installed cios latest version
I installed nintendont latest version
I installed usb loader GX latest version

Help please.

Im pretty sure your issue lies in the File Format youre using. Gamecube games are meant to be in a .iso format, not wbfs.

They should be in .ISO format, since .WBFS is just for wii games.

For Nintendont and USB Loader GX to recognize your games, make a "games" folder on the root of your USB. Then, make a folder for each game, and place the ISO for that game in its respective folder. Then, rename the ISO to "game.iso". For games with two discs, disc 1 is "game.iso" which disc 2 is "disc2.iso".

If you need more clarification, please let me know!
