    Hacking Best backup file system?

    Maybe I should check how fragmented my drive is, then. I don't believe for a second that the stability of WBFS is anywhere near that of FAT32 or NTFS. There is no way some abstract file system used for Wii homebrew and backup can be as stable as a file system like FAT32 or NTFS developed by...

    Hacking Best backup file system?

    In my particular case games stopped working out of nowhere. A few deletes and file transfers here and there and I'm sure my WBFS partition got corrupted somehow. Since I'm starting from scratch, there's no way I'm going back to WBFS. Seems like FAT32 is the best FS to use now based on the...

    Hacking Best backup file system?

    Emulation of the wii has never really worked for me that well. I guess I haven't looked into it that much, but why bother when I have the real hardware (other than for HD)? Basically I have a dedicated SD card for the Wii, so where the HBC and other boot files reside doesn't matter to me. It...

    Gaming What is the native resolution?

    Yeah so after some research it is apparently 720x480 no matter what the setting when using component cables. I guess I've never run into this resolution before which confused me a lot, but it's a standard DVD resolution.

    Gaming What is the native resolution?

    my tv reports 720x480 whether it's 4:3 or 16:9. this is apparently the resolution of progressive scan dvd's, but i'm still completely lost as to how the image is made to be 16:9 or 4:3. something to do with non-square pixels? idk.. stupid wii should've just been hd to begin with.

    Hacking Best backup file system?

    i don't mean the file size limit; i was referring to the maximum size of the partition itself. microsoft imposed a limit of 32 gb for some reason, but there are other partition utilities that will format a fat32 partition larger than 32 gb. as far as i know using ntfs isn't unstable per se...

    Hacking Best backup file system?

    hmm sounds good enough for me. usb loader gx is my favorite backup loader; would i still be able to use that with wii backup manager? is wii backup manager the program responsible for automatically splitting when transferring to the hard drive? will it automatically scrub and compress when...

    Hacking Best backup file system?

    thanks! based on that, wbfs remains the best option for me. is there anything i need to do to keep the wbfs partition healthy? is it safe to delete games from the partition? i read in a separate thread on gbatemp that deleting a game from a wbfs partition can break other games on the...

    Hacking Best backup file system?

    First I would like to just say hi since I'm new here I was just wondering what the pros and cons are of WBFS vs. FAT32 or something similar for backup use on the Wii. I backed up my Wii games on a drive with WBFS and I don't know if the drive was messed up but some games started to fail to...
