Wii Backup Manager... Bad Games?

[drlarrye]

I'm new to WBM and have inherited a lot of Wii games. When I load them into WBM on the right hand window (Adding Files) most are green, a few are blue and a couple are red. The blue ones show up fine in the main window and the red ones don't shoe up at all. I assume the red ones are corrupted but what does the blue mean?

Blue = Good to go
Red (invalid) = Bad rip/conversion/dump (usually a damaged disc), bad title/name or location

Some larger games will need to be split.
This doesn't guaranty all games will successfully load/play, but it's a start.

What's the difference between blue and green?

I think green is when ISO's are, or are about be used successfully, or is that with blue ? Not sure (sorry).

My backups are already on DVD-r, so I just used WBM to split & dump on WBFS partition. I used WiiBaFu to convert from ISO to WBFS files.
I'm not really a FAT32 fan, unless I'm using a HDD. Nah - Still not a FAT 32 fan (on the Wii). Front SD is the only success with FAT32 (my view).

Anyway - It's the "RED" that is the bad

I figured out that blue are duplicates...sometimes with different file names but they are the same game. Red ones must have something wrong with them but some red ones still work even if they don't show up in WBM.
