Hi,

I'm using this guide:

http://gwht.wikidot.com/usb-loader

And I have got to the part where you prepare your ext. hard drive. So I got my ExHD and its a 160GB preformatted to NTFS. I understand that you have to change it either to WBFS or FAT. I don't know which one to use, but FAT seems easier, since I've worked with it before. But the thing is, I realise that FAT devices cannot hold files larger than 4GB, but many Wii games are like 4.3-4.7 GB. I have got Wii ISO backups on my Comp which are all over 4GB.

I also know that WIi games have dummy data which you can get rid off to reduce the file size to less than like 500 mb and there are versions online which have been scrubbed, but I dont want to redownload.

So, basically, anyone help?

Thanks

 

Use the WBFS format, easier to use IMO. Use a WBFS Manager to copy Wii games over to the drive.

 

imo better use wbfs to conserve disc space. iso game files in ntfs consumes too much disc space. though formatting your disc to wbfs limits its use solely for the wii.

@hatsu: i can see on your sig that you have accepted the fact that you spam a lot. lol. joke.

 

1. yes, it does.
2. Format it to FAT, then use Configurable USB Loader to format it to WBFS.

EDIT: always beating me to it, lolzed.

 

Thankyou, I am formatting my hd now, and it says allocation unit size. What should I set it as? Thanks.

And on more thing FAT is the same as FAT32 in this case right?

Thanks
