Just as description i got a 500gb HDD and used verbatim? To format at fat32 and now to transfer my backups from my flash drive my computer refuses to recognize my HDD unless i format to ntfs which obviously won't work from what I've read

There is no need to use anything above fat32 for anything Wii related and is superior to any other format for Wii usageWhy use the FAT32 file system? It cannot handle files that are bigger than 4Gb. You'd be severely restricting yourself in the process.
Sorry, I did not notice that this is the Wii section of the site. Back on topic, though, I recall formatting my flash drives to "nbfs" format (I think) using a special program to make them work with a softmodded Wii.
No, I meant "WBFS," not NTFS. I believe it's something proprietary with the Wii.
Fat32 is still superior in every waySorry, I did not notice that this is the Wii section of the site. Back on topic, though, I recall formatting my flash drives to "nbfs" format (I think) using a special program to make them work with a softmodded Wii.
U don't want wbfs manager u want Wii backup managerWelp I'll keep trying, is there a Mac equivalent of wbfs manager?
Yeah, that's what i have. My mistakeU don't want wbfs manager u want Wii backup manager
But is there a mac equivalent?U don't want wbfs manager u want Wii backup manager
He is just out of the scene too long. A long time ago you had to use wbfs file system - it was a while before they figured out how to run backups off fat32.FAT32 can still be used with WBFS files, they'll just be split. Don't use NTFS or WBFS as the HDD filesystem because well, it can get corrupted, so yeah.

Wii Backup Fusion is one I've heard mentioned for Mac use.Yeah, that's what i have. My mistake

The corruption was an issue with some programs only, namely WBFS Manager and anything else that's based on that older version of the wbfs library. With a decent program it shouldn't corrupt. It's still not recommended though, since it's only useful for Wii games, no emuNAND, no GC games, and no support from other homebrew such as emulators.FAT32 can still be used with WBFS files, they'll just be split.
