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?
Wii Backup Manager... Bad Games?

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.

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.

@Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.+1 -

They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite+1

@SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme -

A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."+2 -

anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media+1
if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them -
@
BigOnYa:
Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

@BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.
The issue is DRM -
@
cearp:
You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60
