Dont use WBFS it has bugs and you can lose your dataTheWon said:Thank you for this guide! It was easy to understand, and helped me partion my drive easy.
WBFS with default config can only hold 500 games and sometimes when erasing a game and copying another the game overwrites another game. Also the other compatible filesystems are more tested, compatible and you can hold other things apart from wii gamesTheWon said:Really? I been using it for a while never lost anything. I just bought a 1Tbit Harddrive. So could have games, music, movie, and pics for WiiMC. So your so saying now I might eventually lose the games on my harddrive.
I use Wii Backup ManagerTheWon said:So how do I go by upload my games to my USB? I'm still using wbfs Intelligent V6.
But I don't know how to use backups from other filesystem than WBFS, when i got the Wii with harddrive it was already WBFS and I've found WBFS manager, also from my tech knowledge fat32 won't support isos that are 4 gb :/ which means all backups won't fit on that drive since they are beyound 4gb.No, there is currently no tool to resize a wbfs partition and keep the data.
But if you simply convert the wbfs partition to a fat32 (or ntfs) partition you might not need 2 partitions.
Additionaly there are tools that can resize them while keeping the data.
If you use a backup manger, It will automatically split the 4gb iso into 2 .wbfs files.But I don't know how to use backups from other filesystem than WBFS, when i got the Wii with harddrive it was already WBFS and I've found WBFS manager, also from my tech knowledge fat32 won't support isos that are 4 gb :/ which means all backups won't fit on that drive since they are beyound 4gb.No, there is currently no tool to resize a wbfs partition and keep the data.

PS: Does it support exfat? wii i mean.
nope no exfat, only fat32 (16 too afaik), ntfs and ext2/3/4But I don't know how to use backups from other filesystem than WBFS, when i got the Wii with harddrive it was already WBFS and I've found WBFS manager, also from my tech knowledge fat32 won't support isos that are 4 gb :/ which means all backups won't fit on that drive since they are beyound 4gb.

Wouldn't your tool be perfect for this case? (wbfs2fat)nope no exfat, only fat32 (16 too afaik), ntfs and ext2/3/4But I don't know how to use backups from other filesystem than WBFS, when i got the Wii with harddrive it was already WBFS and I've found WBFS manager, also from my tech knowledge fat32 won't support isos that are 4 gb :/ which means all backups won't fit on that drive since they are beyound 4gb.

you don't use isos you use .wbfs files (created by eg Wii Backup Manager)
they use much less space then .iso files and are split in two automatically if needed
most of the time thats not the case and even if it is you don't notice the difference
if you don't want to do the switch I can see if I can cook something up to resize wbfs
but that might take time and I can't guarante anything
Yes, that's why converting to fat32 was my first suggestion.Wouldn't your tool be perfect for this case? (wbfs2fat)
All he has to do is convert his WBFS partition to FAT32 with your tool, and if I remember right your tool will put them as .wbfs files split after 4gb.
Loader wise it wouldn't change anything since they recognize FAT32 out of the box (no configuration change needed to enable NTFS).
And what do you suggest we do instead?Great, this guide is only adding to the WBFS problem.
