You format the flash drive itself as wbfs, as opposed to fat32. It's unrelated to ".wbfs" files..
Btw, you could try your luck with Wiiflow Lite too if you want.

ooohh, I did not know/try that. that's true, okay ill play around with that, thanks!

Your best bet is getting an external hdd (with a y-cable preferably).

Anybody know why 240p testing suite doesn't let me switch to 480p mode? I'm using component cables on an HD CRT that supports 480p and changed the setting in the wii system menu.

Edit: Second question, why does the Scale2x filter in SNES9XGX not produce any scanlines? I'm not sure if these problems are related but it feels like I'm doing something wrong here.

So I haven't used my Wii much since 2021, has any homebrew got updated since then? Also someone should look over the sticky threads; some are kind of a mess.

Backup and format your sd card with the Fat32 formatter. That seems like data getting corrupted.

You should have a backup of your nand, yes, but better do it from a sd card that's not failing.

Hello, I can only play my Wii games in a WBFS format HDD, but I can't access the HDD in my PC. My Wii can't read the games in other format. What should I do?

You have a wbfs-formatted hdd and your Wii can see your games, but you can't see your hdd on pc? Use WiiBackupManager it'll appear there, and add Wii games with it. Unless you want to empty it and format it as FAT32 (or ntsc)? But that's up to you and how much loaded your hdd is..

My Wii can't read the games in other format. What should I do?

You mean it can see (or read?) wbfs games but not iso images? I'm just assuming, you have to give more details.

Yes, I use Wii Backup Manager to copy my games. But when I format my HDD as FAT32, my Wii can't read the games. Is it because I use Linux?

Does WiiBackupManager read it? Make sure the hdd is set to MBR, and has a primary partition. Something like AOMEI Partition Assistant should help with that.
