Sorry for the dumb questions, but I cannot get any loaders to find my games on my 16gb pen drive. I've tried ntsf, fat32 and fat with iso's and wasb of games, but games will not show up. It is showing the drive is connected though. If someone can post a detailed walkthough of this, it would be very helpful as all the walkthroughs just show how to install homebrew channel and loaders, and stop with 'and just load the game of the usb drive'. Thanks!

for ntsf: game should be in its own folder within wbfs and should have the code before it. for example nba 2k13 would be in its own folder labeled NBA 2k13 [SKSE54]. these folders will be in the wbfs folder on the root of your sd.
also make sure your usb is in the top usb slot.

NTFS supports larger file sizes and doesn't fragment AS much (still quite a bit of fragmentation after a while).

Basically for these purposes, NTFS allows you to use Wii .iso instead of converting to multi-file .wbfs files.

NTFS cannot be used for GameCube games; also fragmentation doesn't degrade performance on flash memory.

Oh, and ISO formatted rips work just fine, particularly raw ISO rips from CleanRip and trimmed ISOs via WiiScrubber.

    @SylverReZ, you played that Mario flash game called Mario 63?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, No, but I've seen it on Vinesauce's stream.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, that game is one of the reasons i met newgrounds bc the full versión of it is in that site
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Also somebody is remaking it
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, the other game where I found newgrounds is new york shark

    Spoke to Tom Fulp the other day, if he can find his old Newgrounds site content like the mini Flash animations from the 2000's that played on the portal.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    So far no response, but he did say that he'll find them. Wayback Machine doesn't have em.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, atleast the 1999 versión of pico's school is avaliable (the difference between it, the 2006 versión and the 2016 versión is that the speed of the game depends of the speed of your computer and that it had the og soundtrack)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Another being Pico VS Bear, the original 1999 version before Jim Henson filed a DMCA takedown.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    The 2006 versión was made when the flash portal was made
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Many people thought it was lost, but was discovered that he hid it on the same page.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, although the "secrets" system where the game was has been removed. Also pico vs uberkids had a netplay versión that was shutdown, although the swf file has been found
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Nope. There are two download buttons on the same page, where you can download the original under a file called "bear.exe". "bear2.exe", however, is the updated game in a Flash projector. P.s. this was on the archived Pico page from 2000.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, That's been there for a long time, too. People who search for lost media don't look hard enough lmao.

    @SylverReZ, also the pico 2 demos used to be only for the newgrounds patrons but they are on internet archive too (https://archive.org/download/picos_school_2)

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Iirc the demos were removed from newgrounds in 2022
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, or well only the demo with mindchamber's style was on newgrounds
