Hacking What is the "best" USB loader?

[Parablank]

Since I'm going to get a USB hard drive soon, I was wondering what the best USB loader is, in general (compatibility, GUI, performance, features, speed, updates a lot, etc.)

And, also, what format of my hard drive is recommended (FAT, FAT32, etc.)

WiiFlow is by far the best and use Fat32 btw im new

cfg-loader.

Use FAT32.

Use Wii Game Manager to convert your .iso to .wbfs.

put it USB:/wbfs/gameid.wbfs.

CFG-LOADER or Wiiflow. Those are the best..

I use USBLoader GX and see no reason to switch to anything else.

haha +1

I'm not against the OP but seriously, this is the third time this week I've seen a topic like this one. IMO Burton's loader is the best it uses FAT (FAT12, FAT16, FAT32, exFAT), NTFS, HFS and HFS+, HPFS, UFS, ext2, ext3, ext4, btrfs, ISO 9660, ODS-5, Veritas File System, ZFS and UDF.

In my case I have used cfg Loader and Uloader.

That must be magic. Btrfs' disk format isn't even finalized yet.

I'm working on that

What's the advantage of FAT32 over NTFS?

what kind of demulator r u using?

 

[steve-p]

ntfs needs a lot of cpu time,

i'm waiting for ext2 support

 

[jceggbert5]

IMO, WiiFlow is the best... (haven't used much of any others though... I kept switching back to WiiFlow

)
WiiFlow Download (Google Code)

WiiFlow is THE ONLY usb loader to use.

Cfg is the most stable and best in my opinion. It also seems to be first to add any fixes that are needed for games and has a reliable team of devs who are willing to help people out with any problems.

Why? What can it do that USBLoader GX can't? Besides, USBLoader GX can display them in a list. I don't like Coverflow.

ext2 support would be ideal for me. I'm a longtime Linux user so the filesystem is native to me and I don't need any extra drivers.
You can easily resize the partitions and read them on most OSes. Plus, it's not FAT.

And ext3 + ext4 would be worthless for this because we don't need journaling for a backup file system.

Also, since I'm using this with my family, couldn't I format a partition to WBFS, and then the other partition FAT32?
