alright so basically, make sure your games are wbfs or iso, not nkit. You need Wii Backup Manager to transfer them.

probably good for a youtube tutorial. the method hasn't changed in years, so it probably won't become obsolete like a lot of other tutorials.

yeah its how I like to keep most of my tutorials, and I wouldn't make a video that could have a high risk of bricking a wii

I would put a LOT more stress on using an HDD instead of flash drive for backing up games. People seem to think flash drive is OK but it fails. A lot.

Very true. Although you can achieve better flash drive compatibility if it's formatted as wbfs. You lose a lot of the benefits of a fat32 HDD, but at least it's an option

Hello,

Yes I totally agree with you @XFlak , many USB keys work better in WBFS format, than FAT 32.
