I have formatted my 256g usb flash drive to FAT32 as instructed. However when I enter usb loader gx on my original white wii, I get an error saying "Usb Device Not Initialized". I used wii backup manager to transfer my wbfs games. And I put my flash drive in the slot closest to the edge of my wii. Does anyone know why this occurs for me? If so, how do i fix it?

Hello,
the usb keys work badly with the wii (often black screen or never start)
Use an external hard drive and it should work fine.

This.
Also sometimes formatting small thumb drives as wbfs instead of fat32 improves compatibility
yes, but nothing beats an external hard drive
, as they say you have to test several kinds of format with the USB key and see the result.

So what I'm assuming u formatted it to wbfs (like I said here)
Also there are plenty of tools that could format your drive to wbfs, wii backup manager for example can do it and is generally a better tool than wbfs manager
Edit: syscheck looks good enough btw
Do not use that program. It will corrupt your games. Specifically, the corruption happens when adding new games after deleting some.
You can use Wii Backup Manager with a WBFS formatted drive.
You can load GC games from the SD card.

You'll need an SD card to save apps on if your USB is formated as wbfs, unless u manage to successfully parititon it, first partition as fat32 and remainder as wbfs, but this could impact compatibility too so if u try it, you may end up reverting if it doesn't work out as you'd hoped
By using a software like "aomei partition assistant" or others, split the drive into 2 partitions & adjust the capacity for each, then formatting one as wbfs and the other as Fat32. Though i don't know if you can partition usb flash drives? And of course backup your stuff before attempting this.

Modmii has a usb loader setup option to help u partition a drive as partially wbfs and ntfs, u can follow this then as a final step format the second ntfs partition as wbfs using wii backup manager
Ok I formatted the 64g split to FAT32 and the RAW I reformatted to NTFS and then formatted to WBFS through Wii Backup Manager. Now I have a 64g FAT32 split for GC and a 170g split for Wii. Should that work?

@Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.+1 -

A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."+1 -

Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

@BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.
The issue is DRM -
@
cearp:
You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60
