Recently my external harddrive died on me. Had a ton of Wii games from the past 5 or so years on it. Now I've got a 16gb usb for some random games but I can't figure out how to add games from just the filesystem. I don't have access to using WBM and I was wondering if there were alternatives to adding games. Much like how gamecube games can just be added by dragging over the iso, I want to do the same with Wii games?

If the games are in their full uncompressed/unscrubbed ISO format (i.e. checksums match what's on the redump database) I think USB Loader GX will read them. But they still need to be in the same folder format like what would be created when using Wii Backup Manager. Like USB Drive/wbfs/gamename [game id]/gameid.iso.

I've never tried this before and I'm going off of what I think I remember reading somewhere before. But it's worth a try. Let me know how you make out.

    Will you give me mouth to mouth oxygen if my throat closes?

    I could also yank out the rest of my teeth but theirs professionals for that
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    If your throat closes, putting oxygen in your mouth will not solve anything - as you will be introducing oxygen prior to the area of obstruction
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Just kiss me Kyle.
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    You either need to be intubated to bypass obstruction or create a stoma inferior to the the area of obstruction to survive
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    "Just kiss me Kyle." And I thought all the godreborn gay stuff was a smear campaign

    Sweet found my Wii u PSU right after I ordered a new one :tpi:
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    It was waiting for you to order another one.
    Seems like, your PSU was waiting for a partner.
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Keep them both
    separated or you'll have more PSUs each year.
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Well one you insert one PSU into the other one you get power
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
