How to put usb loader games on Wii without windows!
You don't have a windows computer and you want to play Wii games on usb loader? Then here is the tuto!
All you need:
A Wii with homebrew channel (If you don't, look another tutorial for the installation and come back if you need.)
If you're using dolphin emulator, you just need a wbfs file of the game, this isn't for dolphin.
Any device that has a browser and an SD or usb slot (you can also use a microSD and put it in a usb or SD adapter)
An sd card/usb formatted in fat32
To start you need an usb loader.
There is usb loader gx that is popular, have kind of lot functions. You can kind of use it as a "Wii menu" because you have the channel bubbles with your games. But if you're a family with kids I recommend CFG (I'm using it) because usb loader gx has really scary crash dumps. But if you do everything correctly that shouldn't matter.
CFG (configurable usb loader) only loads your usb/sd games. I've been able to change the music and photos (if you want a tuto tell me) I am not sure that usb loader gx supports sd cards but you can tell me.
So choose one of the both and go search the download. (Not the wad (channel), the zip/rar... (Folder) (You can install it when everything is finished)
When it's downloaded, extract it. For the extracting you can use RAR (mostly installable and working) or other extractor that extracts the installed file. If you
see first the "apps" folder, just extract it to your sd card/usb root. If you just see a folder with the name of the app, Make a folder named apps on the SD/usb root and put the folder named the usb loader on it. Now your loader should appear on homebrew Channel!
Now what you've waited: put games on the SD/usb without Wii backup manager/windows? First take sd/usb
Same that with the launcher or not. Go to a good site to download your game (in a wbfs format)
*Unfortunately, if the game's file size is over 4gb, you won't be able adding it to your sd card because of fat32 restrictions and will need wii backup manager to divide the file into wbfs, wbfs1... (There are some websites that already do that for you so it's not the end of your hope!)
(The downloads are majoritary in a 7z, rar file and you can take an extractor like before). After that create a folder named wbfs on your sd/usb root. Now search on internet your game name and gametdb. You see your game on gametdb. Copy the id (looks like RFBE01) Create a new folder on the wbfs folder and name it what you want but end it with the copied id (with []) example: "A Wii game [RFBE01]" (don't put any " ) In this folder put the .wbfs game file. Rename it with the copied id (as the upper folder, but only the id) it will look like: "RFBE01.wbfs"
Now eject your sd/usb and open your loader.
Now you can play!
