Ok i got my game in the WBFS folder on my FAT32 drive.
I use USB loader GX.
But its doesn't seem to work. (get black screen when i try to boot)
what do i do?

 

[tantimongoose]

I've gotten confused by reading too much so could someone please tell me if I am now on the right track
The current most recommended way of setting up a usb hdd is:
Format to fat32
create a folder on the root of the drive called wbfs
put games on there in the format of .wbfs
---is this correct?
So I use wii backup manager to copy .iso files over converting them to .wbfs on the way?
and I assume i can simply drag and drop any .wbfs files I already have directly onto my usb hdd?
Lastly I have read (but i think it is outdated?) that only some usb loaders will work with fat36? Could someone please clairfy if wiiflow will read .wbfs files from a fat36 formatted drive?
Thanks to anyone who can save me hours and headaches trying work this out!

there if no fat36

loaders should work with fat32 and fat16

the rest is correct

I've had Wiiflow r304 set up on my wii for about 6 months and I've played all of the games on my hdd except for NFS: Nitro (NTSC-U). I decided to play it and I noticed that the game got stuck on the loading screen after the press A screen appeared. I've tried redumping the game and changing Wiiflow's settings and nothing fixes it. Does anybody know how to fix this?

Hey, why don't update to the latest wiiflow and latest d2x?

 

[Argonitious]

I'll try updating to wiiflow-mod and see what happens.

 

[Argonitious]

I installed Wiiflow successfully. NFS: Nitro still gets stuck at the loading screen. The spinning arrow is still running though.

I also noticed that the HDD read/write light turns on and off every few seconds. Could this mean my HDD is causing this problem? Just so that you know,  all of my games are on a WBFS partition.Edit:This is more complicated than I thought. The disc gets stuck at the loading screen too! I'll play around with it and see if it is fixable. This problem needs to go to another thread.

I've just re-hack my wii, got CFG Loader, and everything is ok, but when I try do download covers, everything turns black and I got an error message, and 60 secconds later it redirects to wii system menu.

I tryed to put the covers on PC but it is not working either.

What I'm doing wrong?

EDIT: Solved, I changed the HD format to FAT32.

I'm having trouble getting Mario charged strikers working on CFG , The game gets stuck on "loading" screen on start up, The controller flashes on and off and I have no option but to hold the power button on the console for a few secs and reboot.

I have a pal wii and I'm using the NTSC version of the game, I tried some of the options people suggested on the forums for the game giving a black screen....Force NTSC , enable sneek etc. However mine is stuck on the screen that says "loading". My controller just flashes on and off if I the press buttons on the wiimote, It's like the controller can't sync with the wii.

Every other game works perfectly fine for me. Any ideas? thanks

Nvm, I finally found a pal version and that works fine.

quick question i'm trying to Beatles Rock Band from disc channel i installed dark corps and it was running fine for a while then after like a few weeks or so it try's to load it but it boots me back to the Wii menu. and the only reason i want to load it through the disc channel is cause it loads the DLC music from sd card when it's play by disk not by CFG loader. so any help would be fine i kinda forget what options to use...

 

[UncleFonzi]

Alright quick question: I modded my wii with everything, and since i dont have access to a big usb, I burn my ISO's. I was wondering if there was a way to put NeoGamma R9 on the wii system menu, as i dont have access to my SD card all the time with the Homebrew apps on them.(I've seen people on youtube having a wii system menu of it) Thanks!

(my wii is the oldest one, so it runs the DVDs)

Also another question sorry, I'm just wondering about saving, when I'm using Gama, where does my game save?

Windows will always ask you to format if you use a WBFS partition
The managers can not change that.
But using FAT or NTFS instead of WBFS avoids that and has other advantages.
(Like using it for hombrew, music, movies.)

Wii Backup Manager v0.4.5 build 78.

Wii Backup Manager v0.4.5 build 78 does work better,doesn't ask about drive formatting either.just made a wbfs folder in the hard drive.

That is not because you use WBM (not that WBM is bad, its very good), but because you use FAT or NTFS instead of WBFS.
You couldn't even create a folder if you used WBFS for your partition.

Just double checking here, I don't need any cIOS or anything besides what modmii puts in for a UNEEK-DI emulated nand correct?
