So do i verify the iso?

I started doing that but it took forever
check your game with wii backup manager, by going to "tools" then "SHA-1hash", then "check the element or all":
if it is green ==> ok
if it is red ==> at delete and redo the Dump (original copy)

A thumb drive but i can dump games, play patched isos and everything else just fine. It is ntfs because games are big and i think i just found a solution!

Possible solution if its not working
for you:
Use Wii Backup Manager 0.4 to
convert ISO to ISO (yes), then use
Trucha Signer with Key to Sign the
Game Partition, then Convert the
signed ISO to WBFS. For some
reason the file lags at 7%
everytime, and would crash
Windows. The only thing able to
read it is Wii Backup Manager.

Use wii backup manager to put your games or manage them on your USB support.

Do not copy, paste your games directly on the usb support, this may not work.

Wii backup manager manages files larger than 4.37 GB, they split them into two parts (wbfs, and wbfs1)

It never worked for me and i was going to use wbm for it when i tried to transfer smash it just said finished straight away in red text.
 
I'm on 1271 and iOS 58, as 249, 250 and 251 don't seem to initialize my harddrive as of a couple of months ago... but I'm noticing that randomly when on the screen where I'm picking a game, the Wii freezes. I have to manually hold power and reboot my machine. Only happens when in USB Loader GX and on the game selection screen. Seems to happen randomly and maybe once every few hours.
 
Sorry if I asked this before (I don't remember) - since Spiffy360 shut down, is there any way that USB Loader GX can get the themes from our mirror at https://theme.rc24.xyz/ ? Thankfully we got all the themes scraped before it shut down. There isn't some sort of API for it but we can work on that?

cc @blackb0x and @Cyan - and is there gonna be an update to USB Loader GX soon based on some things that need the fixing?

I removed the theme downloader menu long time ago (spiffy changed to account only) to get more memory for other features.
But, I guess there are other things which can be removed now (alt dol menu over known game when using d2x lower than v7 for example) to make room to add theme downloader back, and having an API might even help keep memory requirement low?

I like the idea to add it back but I don't have much time to work on the loader again, I also need to update my sdk environment and all lib versions. update main branch to merge blackb0x mod.
I also would like to fix my console before working on new loader revisions, but that's another excuse to procrastinate.
Blackb0x might add that feature back before I do anything on my side.
