Homebrew USB Flash Drive Only works with one game

[Eman577480]

I know this is an old topic, but recently I buyed a 256GB USB flash drive, I plugged it in my PC formatted it to NTFS and put a game on it. When it finished I plugged it into my Wii and tested it on USB loader gx and it worked fine. Later when I put a second game on it, when I started up USB loader gx and selected the game it returned me to the Homebrew screen. I had the game on another drive and it worked fine, so I know that it's not a bad rip, any help would be appreciated.

Reformat it to FAT32. You can't do it through windows because of the size of the drive you'll need FAT32FORMATTER.

Actually it's easier to use the GUI version

Then if you didn't already know this make a folder on it named WBFS and put your .wbfs Wii games in that folder. USBLoader GX will see them all then.

I did what you said but I still got kicked back to the homebrew menu.

Try using a real HDD. Flash drives don't usually work on Wiis.

This, I don't understand why so many people go for the flash drive to try to play games off of when external hard drives are about the same price (sometimes cheaper) and work 1000% better.
