Is it possible to change the names? I get some really odd names when I run this, e.g. "spyro06" but then I'll get some perfect names like "Metroid Prime"
This is for GCN by the way. I see it's not possible for wii games

Nope. Wii Backup Manager doesn't manage Gamecube games at all.
Side note about the application's development: it would be great if the author would release the source. It does still have bugs in it. (SSBB partition table gets terribly mangled.)
The problem is, that there are 2 tables! And this is known before I started with WIT in 2009.
Code:
2 partition tables with 15 partitions:
index type offset .. end off size/hex = size/dec = MiB status
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0 part.tab 40020 .. 40030 10 = 16 2 partitions
1 part.tab 40040 .. 400a8 68 = 104 13 partitions

Look and see if there's a "titles.txt" in one of the WiiFlow folders. You can change the game names in it.

Oh, yeah. It has two partition tables. One with Game/Update and one with the VC demos, but when WBM converts the ISO into WBFS it puts two of the channel titles in the same partition as the game/update one and leaves a blank one in the middle. It also seems to not change the partition count so even though there's only one game partition the count still says 2. Essentially, it's mixing up the entries between the two partition tables.
This is what I end up with after converting SSBB from ISO>WBFS>ISO again:
Code:
2 partition tables with 13 partitions:
index type offset .. end off size/hex = size/dec = MiB status
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0 part.tab 40020 .. 40038 18 = 24 3 partitions

I didn't know WBM had issues with SSBB.
It's happening with all version of WBM, or old one didn't have that bug?
I have old executable, but don't feel like dumping my game again to do the tests with different manager
users reported issues with USBLoaderGX dump, but that's because they used the "keep game partition" instead of "remove update", which resulted in only the second partition of the first table being dumped.
Using "keep all partition" or "remove update" should dump the game correctly from USBLoaderGX.

I did some checking using my direct rips and it seems to be only Brawl that gets mangled. It's also doing it when converting to WBFS format. Same botched partition info. :/
The rest of the titles I tried have the proper partition count, etc.

it was originally an iso, and i never knew about the feature. do i have to copy them out and copy them back again?
I don't know what your exact problem is but there are ISOs (which sometimes are cleaned of crap data and sometimes not) and there are wbfs files (which are always cleaned of crap) so ...
Just use Wii Backup Manager, feed it with all your ISOs and WBFSs and BINs and whatever format you have your Wii games in, select an USB drive through drop down and push them over. Can't be easier than that.
You can convert them on the drive. Just pick the ISOs and click Transfer>WBFS File. Pick the wbfs folder on your drive and it will convert it. You can delete the ISO or store it somewhere else if you want. WBM can convert the WBFS files back to ISO if you need it again as well.
So I have been transferring Cleanrip Wii ISO's to an NTFS drive using Wii Backup Manager for years, but have just now done a hash comparison of the original dumped ISO and the ISO on the USB drive only to discover the hash doesnt match :C Further checking reveals thats the ISO hashes dont appear to match for ANY of the games I have dumped and transferred using Wii Backup Manager.
After googling I have discovered that Wii Backup Manager uses "sparse ISO's" on NTFS drives. This thread has some info:-
https://gbatemp.net/threads/making-sparse-files-for-iso-on-ntfs.198307/
This is not a feature I wanted as I like having 1:1 original files for archival.
How can I restore all my ISO's into their original format? (Copying to another drive changes the checksum, but not back to the original)
Also how can I disable sparse ISO's in Wii Backup Manager? (and if I cant what alternatives are available for transfering ISO's in the correct format?)

You can't disable removing the junk from WBFS conversion. It's part of the filesystem. There is no way to restore the removed junk either unless you dump the game again or have a binary patch for the image.
Wii games don't have issues with removing unused data from them if you're concerned about that. Only Gamecube games have problems when not 1:1. If you do want to keep and use Wii games as ISO you can put them on an NTFS partition.
