@RockmanForte :
Your computer can read Windows disk format (NTFS or FAT32), and isn't compatible with Wii format (WBFS). That's why your computer ask you to reformat your drive (only the Wii can read it)
At the beginning, the Wii could only read WBFS formated drive, and couldn't read Windows format. That's why the Wii ask you to format your ntfs to wbfs if you are using an old version of usbloader.
But if you format your drive to WBFS using USBloaderGX, your PC can't read it using Explorer.
You will need to use programs to manage the content of your disk if it's formated in WBFS (Format to wbfs/view/copy/delete games), you can use
WBFS manager 3.0, or
Wii Backup Manager, or
any other available
What's new :
The Wii can now read Windows formated drive, but you need a recent USBloader_GX revision.
If you want to use .iso, you will have to update usbloader_gx, so do not use 1.0
Download the 883.dol from
here
rename it to boot.dol and replace it in your SD:/apps/usbloader_gx/boot.dol
delete sd:/config/ folder too, so it will create it again but with newer file's format.
Format your USB drive back to NTFS.
create a folder names wbfs
(like this USBDrive:/wbfs/)
in this folder you will have to put your games.iso
The games must be renamed to match their game's ID, you can do it manually, or use
Wii Backup Manager to copy your iso to your usb drive, it will be done and renamed automatically.
The filename must be
xxxxxx_whatever you want.iso
xxxxxx = game ID (you can find game's ID on
http://wiitdb.com)
For example, new mario need to be (if it's NTSC version) :
USBDrive:/wbfs/SMNE01_new_mario.iso
or
USBDrive:/wbfs/SMNE01/SMNE01_new_mario.iso
last edit :
Ok, I think I'm done editing again and again, and I finally wrote a fully explicative message, with links and all.
I hope you will find it useful.
