I recall somewhere that some people have problems when they reach 500 games. Some loaders have a 500 game "limit" and so this may be why WBM is giving you this issue.

It's not a limit of USB loaders or WBFS managers, it is a (changeable) limit of the WBFS system. Follow my link above for details.

Im new to this

For someone who is new to this, you sure have a lot of games.

Can't say anything on-topic that hasn't already been said.

A few minutes research would have yielded you your answer

How many games do you have?

I can understand if people wont want do change their current filesystem.
But why anyone would choose WBFS for a new drive is beyond me.

OP can you please enlighten me?

But why anyone would choose WBFS for a new drive is beyond me.

- No fragmentation problems.
- Absolute stable since using wwt.
- Fast access.
- Support for all USB loaders.
- More than enough space for both, FAT and WBFS partition.
- Far away from disc/game limit.
I would choose WBFS again!
