Hi, can someone help me, please?
After Install Hermes Cios 222, when I start Cfg usb-loader it runs, start checking my usb-hdd and it says "No Games Found" !!!!
How is this possible if I have 2 games there? The loader says the exact size of the partition and even the exact Size of how much used space but no games.
Thanks

Its a FAT primary partition with 2 games that I converted with wbfs_file.exe from ISO to WBFS.
Partition Selection:
USB MASS STORAGE DEVICE
P#1 94.34Gb FAT1 USB
USED)P#2 501.83Gb Extend
P#3 0 Unused
P#4 0 Unused
L#5 501.83Gb NTFS
The FAT support has raised a lot of repeated questions, so here's a FAQ about that:
Q: Can it play .iso files directly?
A: No. Only .wbfs files can be used. To convert from .iso to .wbfs use the wbfs_file utility.
Q: Isn't FAT limited to 4GB file size?
A: Yes, that's why the files are splitted to 2GB chunks.
The files are named gameid.wbfs, gameid.wbf1, gameid.wbf2,...
Similar to how the a .rar archive can be split to multiple files (.rar, .r01, .r02,...)
Q: If FAT size is limited to 4GB, why is the .wbfs file splitted to 2GB chunks instead of 4GB?
A: Because of the limitations in the FAT Library that is used (libfat).
Q: What about the file size, games on WBFS partition are scrubbed / compressed, will it take more space on a FAT partition?
A: No, it will take the same space because the files are not in .iso format but instead .wbfs format, which uses the same scrubbing / compression method as on a WBFS partition, actually the file format is the same as the format of the WBFS partition. And to be even more accurate, the .wbfs files will take even less space, because the wbfs block size will be smaller too. (The size depends also on the selection which partitions are copied - all or only game)
Q: I have copied the .wbfs files to my usb drive but the loader doesn't see them?
A: The files have to be copied to the \wbfs folder on the FAT partition, like this: D:\wbfs\GAMEID.wbfs
Q: Can I extract all the games from a WBFS partition to .wbfs files?
A: Yes, use this command:
wbfs_file.exe W: extract_wbfs_all D:\wbfs
Where W: is your WBFS partition and D:\wbfs is the FAT partition on USB (or on local hard-disk)
Q: How to convert all the .iso files to .wbfs files in one step?
A: Open up CMD where your iso files are and run:
for %i in (*.iso) do wbfs_file.exe %i
Q: How long does it take to convert one game to .wbfs?
Depends on hard drive speed and (scrubbed) game size. It should take the same time as copying a file. That means a couple of seconds for a game like WiiPlay which uses only about 100MB and a couple of minutes for games that take up 4GB...
Q: Is there any advantage using FAT rather then the old way?
A: no.

Might want to add a bit about batch conversion of games...that seems like a really common question in the thread as well (or may be I've just seen it in multiple threads "can you convert all the games at once?"oggzee said:

The files have to be named exactly like this: GAMEID.wbfs, for example: RHAP01.wbfs
You haven't renamed them right?
Can you try installing a game from inside the loader and see if that works? (Wii Play is especially good for this kind of testing as it installs in just 1 minuted because it is so small)
OK guys, a big THANK YOU TO EVERYBODY THAT HELPED ME.
You can call me BIG DUMB ASS, STUPID, I DESERVE IT, I had the games in the root of the partition and not Inside the wbfs folder, Im less than a newbie.
THANK YOU.

(I have also updated the post above)
I have a problem with finding out my partition number.
I get only [#1] [250GB] [WBFS] whats the Partition Name?
/edit WTF? Why going to CFG Loader and finding out name when Drive Letter does work too?

You don't have to. That is only if the wbfs partition doesn't have an drive letter assigned (for various reasons) That tutorial tells you that too:User423 said:

1. Plug the drive into your PC. If the WBFS partition is assigned a drive letter, then that is the way to refer to the drive (e.g., X

"If the drive has no letter; use these steps: "
As I find it a bit unclear now
And you seem to like the new tag a lot oggzee

Yes, that would probably be easier to understand, and having a drive letter assigned is also probably the most common scenario.
Oh and Yeah [ P ] rulez, along with links to anchors inside a post. I copied all of those tricks from your >>>backup loading basics

@Xdqwerty, The Saturn had ROM or RAM carts. Action Replay took advantage of this to play burned games.+1 -
