You're awesome! Helped me revive my Wii from 2008. I'm still working my way through into making this the Ultimate console but you've helped me a ton. New subscriber!
See I bought a physical disc copy of brawl so I can play super smash bros universe which has a bigger roster than smash ultimate with tons of unofficial characters even stages from smash ultimate
I just want to say that I'm putting together a 2nd Wii and haven't done any of this is so long. The videos on this channel have been invaluable. Thanks for posting this and the other Wii tutorials.
appreciate you. I was worried I chose poorly when I decided to format my SD card to FAT32 instead of NTFS. Been trying to figure out how to get the Metroid Prime Trilogy on there and thanks to you I have a solution!
You're the best. I'm dumb when it comes to any of this stuff and you helped me get my wiiu modded. Now I'm playing wii and GameCube games on it. This helped me with epic Mickey 2
@@funkyscott47 omg :') dude you helped out so much! Do you have social media? I would like to give you ideas for videos. I am starting to learn how to mod and stuff
Bro great video really struggled with this because I own most games that are over 4 gigs that I want except one and this really helped me when I was stuck in this situation
Thank you so much bro, your videos have been super helpful. Always got answers to my questions and you make it easy as possible to understand. Appreciate you
@@funkyscott47 one issue I have with a game is skylanders for wii. The game works but it won't detect the USB portal through wiiflow. Do you know of any ways to rectify that? I've read that cios 247 or 248 may fix it but unsure of how to do that.
Does anyone know how to do this on a mac? Im new to the modding world of wii (as of 2 days ago) so I'm still learning how to do things. I have no problems transferring and playing games on my SDcard that are less than 4GB. I want to play GH: Metallica but the 4.39GB is too large to just transfer on to the card. I have an application Witgui but I don’t really know what I'm doing here to be honest.
I have a question: what if I wanna add more games to my drive but I don’t have enough space and that drive also has the homebrew apps on it, can I use a second usb for more games?
Awesome videos and channel mate, got it all set up, thanks to you! Having an issue with splitting these larger files though.. when I locate the game on the wiibackupmanager, its size shows as 4.0gb when it should be 4.2gb, i do the transfer as shown in ur video but it stops transferring at 4gb and doesnt complete.. any idea?
I had a headache trying to download it It didn't lead to where he was so I scrolled to the bottom of the link and downloaded the 78 version and it worked great
the link for the wii backup manager does not look like yours, its probably changed in the past year. I dont have a "what you need" section where i can download the manager
@@elijahpeterson8561 if you go to the link in the description and scroll down a bit there will be a list on the right hand side that says "links" just hit download and it will download it instantly.
I'm currently trying to split Skylanders: swap team but the file is 4.03 GB and it's still not splitting I keep transferring it over to Drive 2 yet it's still not splitting.
Hi I'm here caise i encountered a problem using the Wii backup manager. I'm transferring a 4gb plus file and after pressing transfer to drive 2 the loading start and stop asap. upon checking in log the error is unable to create temp file.
I get to this point and I'm pretty sure my files are corrupted as they come up in red text and say invalid. please help me fix my issue. I've tried just about everything to put it into the wii backup manager but it just wont work. it seems that whenever i download anything over 1gb, something happens to my file maybe when it gets converted from 7z to wbfs and when i go to my one drive, thats when it shows to be invalid-- besides my other games that are below 1gb, they are always fine. i'ved used wii backup fusion to manually try and wii backup manager still says that the game is invalid.
what if it just stops working .. it just wont boot .. shows the screen to start game but wont load and reverts back to menu .. do i need to probably just redo the whole process?
I've been wanting to play skyward sword but I couldn't get it to load on wiiflow. I followed the guide and it still won't load into wiiflow. Any suggestions??
Hi, I have a problem with the WBFS and WBF1, all my games work that are below 4gb, but when I click on the game that has the gb split into wbfs and wbf1, my nintendo instantly crashes to a black screen and I have to turn it off and on
Would getting a 2nd NTFS drive and moving everything to it make Brawl work without splitting? Also can you actually dump Brawl on USB loader GX or do you need a separate app?
Thanks already success to split metroid other M but it's not showing on usb loader GX, when I use wii remote to the game it show the title and when I click it it just blank (black freeze). This is my first time try playing .wbfs games with more than 4gb
Hi Scott..I just home brewed my Wii with Sandisk 32GB SD Card it is working fine…but my sandisk 128gb pen drive is not not showing games on it..I created wbfs folder on it but still games on pen drive is not loading ..I only see games loaded on my SD card..please help..Thanks
Before I hacked my Wii I saw all these videos saying how easy it is. And it is. But I swear all these extra steps and programs are driving me nuts haha. One program for my SD and external HD for fat32, one for splitting wii games and the list goes on. Yeah, its easy to hack the Wii, just be prepared to spend you next 6 0r 7 weekends setting it up...
Hey so I'm using WiiFlow with an SD card. After doing this, what do I do? Do I put the folder in the SD card or do I put the two wbfs files in the SD card?
Not sure if you’ve resolved this issue yet but there should be a folder called “wbfs” on the root of your SD card. this is where you will put all of your wbfs wii game files. when you put the SD card back in and fire up Wiiflow, be sure to reload the cache. otherwise your games won’t show up. to do this, load wiiflow and then click on the home icon at the bottom, then click “reload cache”
Your videos have been a great help. However I did have one question... Would one be able to use two storage devices on the Wii? For example an SD card formatted to FAT32 and a USB formatted to NTFS or do you have to stick to one drive?
Hey man Awesome vids bro, I do have a question tho, Is there a way to split large .wbfs files (Metroid Prime Trilogy) to play on the VWii? Im using WiiFlow to play my current games on the VWii on my Homebrewed WiiU lol using an SD Card. I have tried looking but haven't come across a video on doing so. TIA!!
I did this for The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword and yet when I try to run the game it does not work and it just kicks me out back to the main menu, If someone could help me I would really appreciate it
I just got a wii and i want to mod it and store all wii/gc games along with the apps of a single 128gb sd card. With this method i can store everything on the sd card and not mess with any external devices?
Not he right video but how do I do this for a .app file I have for my wii copy of xenoblade chronicles which I'm trying to download it straight to the wii u home but the file is too large
On just Dance 4 it Shows mit it’s 3.9 gigabyte’s but when I try to play it there’s just a black screen and if I start it it just keeps puting me to the homebrew menu can someone please help
it worked! but i have an issue, i dont know if it is because of the game being split or what but when i start some games it goes back to the usb loader menu :(
So I have the family edition Wii so when I play game cube games on the emulator it says insert memory card and I think one time when I loaded it through USB loaded gx it worked idk how to fix it and when I try it in us. Loaded gx nothing is showing up in it not even my channels and it's says 0games
You can go into setting in Nintendont and set it to save games as an "emulated memory card" which means it just saves to your storage device. But is usb loader GX giving you the issue where it says no wbfs partition found?
Absolute legend. They way you explain it makes it so easy!! I've now watched few of your videos and none of them have failed! Thank you

I have a problem with getting the wbfs file onto the drive. Since it's too big it won't go into it so I can locate it on the manager. Any help?
You'll have to create a wbfs folder on the root of a storage on your computer to select that drive for Wii backup manager

Also can you actually dump Brawl on USB loader GX or do you need a separate app?
Brawl works with NTFS drives, but you can only hold Wii games on it as homebrew channel can't read it (but usb loader GX can)
funny enough, this was the exact game i was trying to do lmao.
