Hacking Homebrew .WBFS files not working on USB Loader GX or WiiFlow

[Deleted member 677536]

Hey, I recently filled my 32gb usb with a few games, (wbfs format) and they wont load onto either homebrew application.

No, I do not have a laptop, ive been using my chromebook to download the zips onto the sd card and usb drive

I will provide images of the file setup if needed

So you just installed them when you said "i redid d2x & it worked this time"?

Your syscheck looks good.
Have you tried again after installing the cIOSes?
Again, update usbloadergx and/ or WiiFlow_Lite if you're not on the latest version.
And yet again you didn't answer any of my initial questions, so I'm not gonna bother anymore if you don't want to.

I did answer most of your questions, but im not going to start a fight over something silly like this.

also, i did try installing d2x before, and it didnt download. Its downloaded now, but now it doesnt detect the usb drive.

This.

check the settings on usbloadergx and see if the usb drive is set to port 0 not 1.

And this!

when launching usbloadergx there's a "usb initiation" screen, does the usb pass it or does it display a countdown (from 20 secs)? If the latter, your usb is not being read.

Anyway, if everything is as you claim your last option would be formatting the usb drive to the "wbfs" format, and that could only be done on pc with WiiBackupManager, so you have to to look for windows pc in order to do that.

Alternatively, you can try putting one of your Wii games (just for testing, for now) on the sdcard and see if it works from there, you have to change the game loader setting to "sd mode" in order for sd card games to appear and work. If you get it to work, you can copy your other games if you want, though not all Wii games will work without issues. GC games should work fine though.

Okay.

You don't see the countdown you mean?

Yeah, theres no countdown just a whole bunch of loading messages and then it boots up, and says usb device not initialized.

and says usb device not initialized.

Then it's not being detected by the Wii at all. Try with a different usb, or try one of the options i talked previously about.
