I have a soft modded Wii. My dad modded it over a decade ago and I took over a few years ago.

All of my games are on my USB and I access them using USB Loader GX but all of my save data is on the Wii itself. I didn't touch the wii settings or USB Loader GX settings, I clicked on some of my game channels and when it loaded it, they all said "begin" instead of "continue" or all of my completed files are gone.

I have other channels I've downloaded with homebrew like snes emulators and all of my save data is there but that's probably because everything's on the flash drive. I also have gamecube games another flash drive and all of the save data is there but I think that's because the save data is also on the flashdrive (I think otherwise it would be in my Gamecube memory card, which I don't own.)
But for my Wii games, it won't load my save data with my game channels on some of my games and they all created a new profile.. on the Wii menu settings, in data management, all of my main games have just 1 block, I'm sure it must've had more because I often play and complete games like Kirby and Mario... In the USB Loader GX settings, "Save Emu Nand" was set to "OFF" and I believe it always has been.

Anyway, I'm not really tech guy and I only know how to follow tutorials so I'd really appreciate any help; whatever information you need about my wii settings, let me know!

Thank you for reading :yaywii:

(Most of this is a copy and paste from my reddit post, I'm hoping to get some help here. :))
