uhhh is your usb not faulty
My USB is Faulty

I am Using ScanDisk 128GB and Changed from GPT To MBR which is the red USB

And switched to FAT32

So i want to say that i use wiibackupmanager and i transferred wbfs files and iso files ot my usb drive then i see the folders and it has the wbfs folder when i unplug it and then plug in to my wii and i ran usb loader GX then i check the wii games then its not displaying and i thought when i unplug the usb from wii then insert it to my computer and i check the folders and games then the wbfs files are gone and deleted itself and yeah

The wbfs game files deleted itself after i unplug the USB drive and its annoying

It's been a while since I messed with Wii stuff, but I remember people saying not to use USB sticks, because the behavior could be erratic. It has always been recommended to use an external hard disk instead, formatted as FAT32.

As already mentioned, don't use microSD/SD/USB memory cards for storing your games, they'll fail sooner than an external hard drive.

I use my Wii with an encased internal FAT32 formatted hard drive and a Y-USB cable I made myself, haven't had any issues with USB loaders, Nintendont or the emulators I use.

USB flash drives suck with the Wii. Use a Hard Drive.

Well This is the only usb drives and sd cards i have and yeah i dont have external hard drive :(

I just see all the videos of how to play wii games using usb and they didnt say dont use flash drives than external drives on youtube

:(

When i tried to use diskgenius to format my usb to work fine then i accidently formated drive H and the drive H appears on my computer then i turn off my computer the next day my boot driver has been lost after formatting drive h and shows drive h by accident

I should have get the external drive instead of a usb flash drives :(
