Make sure the partition is marked as primary.
How did you copy your games over? Did you use Wii Backup Manager? What port do you have your USB drive plugged in to? Have you tried both ports?
Check and make sure the category isn't turned off. It's the icon on the top toolbar that looks like a disc and channel.
Is your drive formatted as one FAT32 partition or do you have multiple partitions on it?
I can't remember if they *need* to be but I've just checked my drive and all my games are in separate folders for each game - e.g. X:\wbfs\A Boy and His Blob [SBLP5G]\SBLP5G.wbfs
Are yours just loose in the wbfs folder?
Compatible Wii game path:
/wbfs/GAMEID.wbfs
/wbfs/GAMEID.iso
/wbfs/GAMEID.ciso
/wbfs/TITLE [GAMEID].xxx
/wbfs/GAMEID/GAMEID.xxx
/wbfs/GAMEID_Title/GAMEID.xxx
/wbfs/Title [GameID]/GAMEID.xxx (Recommended and default path layout)
NOT compatible Wii game path:
/wbfs/Title/GAMEID.xxx
/wbfs/Title.xxxx
/wbfs/compatible sub folder/Title.xxx
/wbfs/compatible sub folder/Title [GameID].xxx
/wbfs/compatible sub folder/GameID_Title.xxx
Compatible Gamecube path:
/games/Title [GAMEID]/game.iso
/games/Title [GAMEID]/game.gcm
/games/Title [GAMEID]/disc2.iso
/games/Title [GAMEID]/disc2.gcm (not working with DM/DML)
/games/Title [GAMEID]/sys/fst format/ (extracted game, not working with Devolution)
/games/GameID/game.xxx
/games/GameID/disc2.xxx
/games/Title/game.xxx
/games/Title/disc2.xxx
The last two layouts are NOT recommended.
If a game has 6 letters (for example "LuigiM" for Luigi Mansion), the loader will use those 6 letters as the GAMEID and will not find any cover matching "LUIGIM" gameID.
The best layout for both Wii and Gamecube is always :
/base folder/Title [GameID]/filename.ext
NOT compatible gamecube path:
/games/filename.ext (no subfolders are not supported in USBLoaderGX. this is the default path for devolution, but devolution works fine if you put the game in subfolders when launched from USBGX.)
Of the 4 games that it shows, do they work when you try to play them? You may also want to check Custom Paths in Settings and make sure that it is pointing to the folder where your Wii games are.
Do they show up when using another usb loader like Wiiflow, CFG etc?
I can't remember if they *need* to be but I've just checked my drive and all my games are in separate folders for each game - e.g. X:\wbfs\A Boy and His Blob [SBLP5G]\SBLP5G.wbfs

That may be my problem. I have like this x:/wbfs/gametitle.wbfs
You can use WiiBackupManager to quickly fix all your games and move them to the correct folder.
Setup the program like this :
WiiBackupManager best setting (for USBLoaderGX) :
set or enable these options:
FAT32/NTFS tab :
- Store games in separate subfolder
- naming title : Title_[ID] (that's the default naming convention used in USBLoaderGX)
- Split : 4GB
- Automatically update storage convention when drive is mounted
Title tab
misc : use Wiitdb
language : <choose your prefered language>
Click "download title.txt" to get the latest game's titles for that language.
renaming : use wiitdb titles for file and folders name
Save and exit the settings.
Now go to "drive1" tab, select your partition where you have your game in the drop-down list, and ALL your games will be moved/renamed automatically in 2 seconds.
You can put the drive back to the console.
You didn't listened to me when I gave you the command line to use in Wit/wwt !
I gave you the CORRECT command, but NO, you wanted the one with "wbfs/title.wbfs".
you said "My 8 y/o will be thrilled when I put these on his hd." and I thought "you'll be less thrilled when you'll realized you just named the files the wrong way"
use that :
"%T [%I]/%+"
it will rename to "Title [ID]/ID.wbfs"
