Ok you could do what i said above or download all the files you want put them on the usb transfer them too your WINDOWS machine then use one of the wii managers to convert them to .wbfs files and put them on your usb drive in USB:/WBFS/

What he said if you want to format to FAT32, WBFS is what WBFS for mac supports but if the drive was FAT32 you could just drag .wbfs files onto it. Put it this way, you're probably better off just using uLoader to format the drive and WBFS for mac to add the games. With FAT32 you have to use windows to get the ISOs to .wbfs format.

EDIT: Weird floating quotation marks out of nowhere removed.

Okay, so then this is my final question, if I was to download uLoader from my POS windows computer and then put on wii and format my hard drive to WBFS i can then plug hard drive into mac computer and then use WBFS for MAC OSx to transfer files onto hard drive? I would then be able to see and play downloaded games put on my hard drive on the wiii !?

It is simple....heres an example of converting an .iso to .wbfs with wit:

QUOTE said:
wit COPY -B -s /home/Software/wii_games/game.iso -D /home/Software/wii_games

That command would make a file named "game_id.wbfs" in the wii_games directory which can then be moved to the external HDD.

Format your drive to fat32 and put all the .iso's you have onto it.
plug your usb drive into your windows machine and run Wii Game Manager
Open your .iso files and convert them. Right click Create wbfs files no split.
Make a folder called wbfs on your usb drive and put all the .wbfs files on there(your games)
Plug into wii and play with cfg-loader.

EDIT: i see your questions have been answeredd

Yup, still can.


Ohmygod, you are my hero if this works, even if it doesn't you are my hero, haha.

Im trying it all out right now! As in downloading uLoader and trying to format HDD. When I download uLoader will it say blatantly say format to WBFS or will it be a crazy name? lol.

It'll say something along the lines of "No WBFS format found" then ask if you want to format it.


Okay sorry for the dumb question but after I download uLoader5.0 and extract the files do I copy and paste all the files to the SD card or which ones? Sorry i forgets :/
