I think USB Loader GX can now write to a NTFS partition.

* Added NTFS write support! (Thanks dimok, for fixing the bugs)

Hermes cIOS 222/223 or waninkoko's rev19 must be installed to use NTFS !

I thought wanin's cIOS did not support ntfs, but only fat32 and wbfs? am I mistaken?

Hmmm, I think your right
I probably just copy pasted that from FAT32 xD

Changing it...

 

[XFlak]

tj, u may want to change it back, it looks like it can load from ntfs despite wanin not supporting it

this is from the configurable thread

- Loading games from .wbfs or .iso files on a FAT or NTFS partition
(with cios 249/250 rev18+ or cios 222/223/224 v4+)

and another explanation by fenrirwolf can be found HERE

Wiimms WBFS Tool

Info: A command line based WBFS manager. This is the only manager that supports WDF, which was specially created for that program (it is not used by any loader yet).
A GUI version is also available: WiiJManager Multiplatform

Supports: ISO | cISO | WBFS | WDF

Links:

WWT Topic: http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=182236

WiiJManager Topic: http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=214002

The WWT tools support now FST (extracted filesystem [keywords: WiiScrubber, SNEEK]) as input and output.

=> Supports: ISO | cISO | WBFS | WDF | FST

Example:
Is a.wdf is a WDF file and b.iso an ISO image and c.fst/ a directory with an extracted file system you can add all three to a WBFS with:
CODEwwt add -a a.wdf b.iso c.fst

 

[tj_cool]

Thanks for keeping me (and the wiki page) up to date

(I wish everyone'd do that)
Is your tool the only to support it atm?

 

[Wiimm]

I think so. Only some special tools like WiiScrubber are able to extract and compose Wii ISO images.

 

[Wiimm]

And please add to FAQ something like:

What is FST?

FST is a shortcut for "file system". It is a copy of all real and system files of a Wii ISO image. This extracted images can be viewed and modified with any tools. It is possible to compose a new Wii ISO image with modifications. This new image have to be "trucha signed" before using it.

Ok, added to the FAQ
If there's anything else, just tell me
