Hacking Loading .iso and not .wbfs with USB loader GX

[tahsin tariq]

As the title says, I want to load a .iso file with USB loader GX. Is this possible? If so how?
Do I make a folder and put the .iso file there or can I put the ISO file in the root of the USB? Does the .iso file have to have a specific filenmae such as game ID or can the ISO file be any name?

I am pretty sure you can load ISOs through Wiiflow, not to sure about USBLoaderGX though, I believe you need to have it in specific folders, if you use a nifty program called "Wii Backup Manager" you could have it set to transferring Wii Games from your Computer to your HD without converting(Or have it convert to .wbfs whatever you want) and it will organize it all for you!

Why do you need it to be a .iso anyway? WBFS files are smaller files because they remove all the dummy files adding unnecessary space to the game file. and you can also convert ISO>WBFS OR WBFS<ISO with Wii Backup Manager

Thank you for the reply. I will look into the program you mentioned. Thank you neim8!

it's compatible with ISO.
You need to place it at the same place than the wbfs files : wbfs/game folder's name [GameID]/gameID.iso
or /wbfs/gameID.iso

thank you cyan!
when creating game folder name do I have to include the brackets? [ ] ?

also, all the gamecube game id's confuse me. Is it possible to create a folder like the following?:
games/abc/gameid/game.iso?

i dont think the game id as a folder name is very important, but most backup managers do it for you.

The loaders use the game id to download artwork and whatnot

however, you do not want to put that many sub directories
instead of:
games/abc/gameid/game.iso
it should be:
games/gameid/game.iso

I just tried play gc iso by changing the gameid folder. its works. Now my question is how do I enable cheats in gamcecube iso using dios mios. As far as I know you have to creat a gct file and put it in the same folder as game and name the gct file the game Id. But I changed the gameid folder so do i rename the gct file the new game id folder or keep it as the game id?

The cheat code's GameID is based on the internal game's ID (inside the ISO), not on your folder's name.

like I told you by PM, the best way is to use both name and ID :
/games/Zelda [GZLP01]/game.iso


For cheatcode, you need another file (kenobigc.bin) in your /sneek/ folder on the same partition than the game.
it's easy to find, just google it.Actually, this file is included inside DIOS MIOS (Lite).


For your last question (by PM).
Backup games NEVER ask for an update.
If they do (call of duty?) it's not a console update, but a game patch.

Finally!!! I got the USB loader GX working!! Thank you very much everyone for the help!! Eventhough some games still couldn't run, such as zelda twilight princess, skyward sword and just dance 2014 etc, but this is a great milestone for me to load other games. Nevertheless, still very excited to get those things run!!

Thanks gbatemp!
