I'm not sure what to tell you, then. The only game I know of that absolutely will not run with a cIOS is Tin Tin.

I made things worse. I used Cyan's d2x installer that you linked me to and it finally installed the v10, and now USB Loader GX doesn't load ANY of my games that were working before. I've tried 249, 250, and 251. all fail back to the Homebrew channel :'(

Have you tried a different loader? Configurable USB loader or the coverflo one?

Also maybe look at the how the games are loaded on the USB stick. Folders and file names of the ones that work compared to the ones that don't.

Also could run disk check and repair on USB stick... Also not sure how much defragmentation matters on USB stick... But I had an older slower HDD that it seemed to help with.

Just some ideas.

I just tried Wiiflow and that also is not working. both programs show the list of installed games, but neither one can launch any of them. Defragmentation is a non-issue on flash storage because there's no mechanical parts to jump between. However, I'm currently taking the files off and loading them back on, just for the hell of it. I did do a disk check. it came back clean. I've made a habit of properly ejecting my USBs after I fried a 16 gig last year trying to reinstall windows onto my desktop.

I don't recommend NTFS because only Wii backups work with it. No GC, no emuNAND, no NEEK, no HBC. Just use FAT32 with split games for the Wii.

Use what you like, I suppose. I find it inferior. As for FTPing to a Wii? If you like dog slow, go ahead.
I usually just pull the SD card, but I know a lot of people who prefer to FTP to the Wii (for some reason). As for the NTFS partition, who says it's the only partition on the disk? I've got mine divided into two, NTFS for Wii backups and FAT32 for GameCube, never had a single issue. Using WFBS if inferior by a long shot.

WBFS as a partition type? Yes, it stinks. The file format is fine. It's just a sparse file that doesn't include the unused portions of the disc.
