Hey Guys,

So I have sucessfully hacked my vwii by following the definitive guise in this forum. Everything is working perfectly except for a few odd things I want to run by you guys.
I ripped all of my GC disks with cleanrip v2.0.0 on my original wii, transferred them from SD to my properly formatted fat32 HDD
My Directory structure in the drive is like this. I have these two folders in the root of the drive.

wbfs
games

All my games run flawlessly, except for some wierd naming of disks. An example is Killer 7. usbloader GX
has thh game listed as killer 7 disc1 usa, instead of jsut "Killer 7"
On my drive I have it listed like this both game.iso and disc2.iso are under the same directory

\games\killer 7\game.iso
\games\killer7\disc2.iso

So my question is, am I doing something wrong with naming, why is USb laoder GX naming them wierd? It dioes it to a few other games as well
Zelda four swords adventure, Baten Kaitos wings, and Enter the MAtrix to name a few.

Also, I seem to be missing a few wii games I added (Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn) for example. I named it like this
\wbfs\Fire Emplem - Radiant Dawn [###]\###.wbfs
where ### is that specific game ID

If anyone coulde help I would appreciate it.

Thaks
 
If you dumped the game using USBLoaderGX (though you said you used clearip), then it uses the game title name located on the gamecube disc.
Some games have weird "official" names on disc.
you can of course rename the folder manually to any other name to your liking.


You can add the TitleID in the folder name if you want, it could speed up the loader to use Wiitdb.xml to get the proper game's name inside the loader's interface.
settings > update > gametdb
settings > features > use Wiitdb.xml : Enabled

this will now use the real game's title in the loader's interface, and will recognize the game using its titleID.
that's why adding titleID to the folder name is faster, it prevent the loader to open the ISO to get the titleID from it.
/games/killer7 [xxxx]/game.iso and disc2.iso



About your wii games not displayed, I find it weird too. it's correctly named (except the titleID is 6 digits, but I get you just replaced it correctly).
it can be one of the filtering options :
disable the favorite Star in the top menu, set the category filtering menu to "All = check" (not cross), disable the loader's lock (on the right size of the top menu, near the disc icon, don't lock it or it will enable parental control filtering based on game's level)
note that if you use Wiitdb, it will have the correct/official parental level.

Maybe it could be some other things I didn't thought yet.
