[QUOTE="commdante, post: 2580266, member: 41711"] Well, I bought a Wii yesterday (had OS3.1 on it, so at least can watch DVD's :3 (only other DVD drive I've got is in my comp and that kinda stinks, besides ... it's getting REAL old. And some GC games are so hard to get these days)) and I had a lot of trouble trying to get "backups" running (mostly due to being "hasty" and not reading the stickies/readme-s thoroughly through, which resulted in wasting more time compared to when I would have). Anywho, I finally figured some stuff out. Like: stuff needs to be in a certain "naming format" to be recognised (being ./wbfs/GAMEID.iso etc if wondering). I figured I could just browse the drive and select which directory held my data and it would get recognised instead of the "name the file with the ID number"-thingy. Lacking in money to buy another external drive, I figured I'd just format my USB-stick for now and try WBFS with "Wii game manager v1.5". Since then everything almost seemed to work "out of the box". I guess THAT is the main reason why people stick with WBFS (for what does that stand for anyway? W(here's all data/WAD) Big File System?) For now I can at least play some games and it does help against skimming through them. The only thing I'm still a bit puzzled about/couldn't find is which partition format likes to be first for what reason etc (say: for when mixing FAT (for homebrew), WBFS for game-data and FAT32 (does homebrew like FAT that much better over fat32?) for misc stuff/backup for other stuff. I kinda would like to regain/have at least 1GB left on my USB-stick. [img]http://gbatemp.net/vanilla/emoticons/smile.gif[/img] Only thing that sticked to me was that no "logical drives" should be made (so max=4 partitions, all primary) and something about being active (I thought that was only for booting OS'?).
