Theres no guide really.

Move your games someone else first using wiibackup manager and then reformat the drive and then use wiibackup manager to transfer the games back.
Oh, so a FAT partition actually loads .WBFS files?


yup im using fat32 right now with wiiflow and it works fine.

Also cfg loader and gx work with fat32 as well.

Awesome. That's what I was hoping. I'll use Wii Backup Manager to extract all my WBFS files and load them on the same partition reformatted as FAT32. That way I can also use it for video on the PS3. Now, if only the PS3 supported MKV files natively!

Two 40GB HDD in my computer, one partitioned into two 20GB bits
Small 13GB HDD in an enclosure for the Wii (only use to move games from disc to computer, not USB loading)
20GB USB HDD for random transporting of stuff

I had a 250gb WD My Passport, but it broke 2 nights ago. Just picked up a 320gb WD cheapo drive or some shit.

Works perfectly fine, and I really don't need A LOT of space.

1 TB wd element drive
1st partition
200 gb fat32 marked primary and active
2nd partition
7?? gb wbfs marked primary

fat32 partition has 2 different emulated nands. 1 for triiforce and 1 for rockband dlc.
aswell as space for all of my emulators and their respected folders.

i also have an sd card 8 gb but its kinda obsolete now for me. considering anything i want on my wii i just use wiixplorers ftp server.

but all media i have i keep in my computer wich has 3 drive bays all with a terrabyte in each.
i connect via smb to browse my hard drives on my computer and view all my media with the wii.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I thought PS4/5 and Xbox One emulation would be kind of easy since they basically just a PC
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    they sorta are a pc
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They haslve dedicated on board chips that aren't tweaked like x64/x32 afaik
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    but its a custom os for both of them
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    designed for only specific hardware
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    so you have to learn to emulate that specific hardware which isn't as easy as you'd think
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It's a locked down Linux distro basically
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think the only custom hardware is to do with the SSD and a security chip
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Probably combined in one chip
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They place married security chips onto boards iirc
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Damn Frontier is offering 5Gbps now lol
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I honestly can't recommend any of the big 3 this years I'd say buy a rog ally z1 if we're being honest
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Honestly after the PS3 and 360 I just went full PC
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Every games basically cross platform they only have about 6 titles making it worth the $600 price tag
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Didn't see much need for a console, all the advantages have kind of disappeared
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    the ps3 used to support installing linux because the cpu was so powerful
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Then the games are $70 and they want to reboot and refresh the same game every year
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    The ps3 was always Linux they just found a way to make it open source
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    I'm avoiding buying from the big 3 at all atm
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    At one point PC game pads where poorly supported, loading a game had setup, it was complicated. Now it's almost as easy as a console.
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    nintendo needs to up their game soon
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah even bt support for Xbox one controllers are just as easy as pairing
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    considering the steamdeck can emulate the switch (yikes) theres almost 0 reason to buy the switch apart from playing online and using cartridges
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Xinput and 360 dongles were a driver nightmare
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I remember having to manually put in drivers and what not
