I was honestly expecting this NOT to work but it did. And I thank you for making this very VERY quick, understandable, and informative video.
I want to update my previous comment. I am recently on this subject, catching up with Wii/GCN games. This tutorial is very concrete and hepful, but from my recent experience, the majority of problems is related to the consol compatibility with the specific USB devices. For example: I was trying to put some games into USB sticks. It turns out, some of them work with GX loader but not with Nintendont and vice versa (even if they are formatted exactly the same way). The same with old, small capacity HDD drives (my old 80GB HDD have the same compatibility issues as USB sticks). But if you use some standard HDD drives (300 GB and up) with a decent cable, they work like a charm, even fast formatted in Windows environment. I know that Wii is not compatibile with USB 3.0, but somehow such devices works even better and are more reliable as for compatibility with different loaders.
bro im so glad I subbed to you months ago!! you came in clutch when I had to update my switch OLED mod chip, and here we are several months later and this tutorial was THE ONLY ONE that can actually solve my issues with why my Wii was not able to detect a hard drive and sd card! tried all the previous steps everyone else mentioned of formatting to fat32, but not one other person mentioned to change the partition type to 0xc and that fixed it for me after several weeks of troubleshooting!!
Glad I could help :)
I'm only a child bro😥
Hi all, I also noticed if you go into the configuration in the loader gx . In the hard drive settings you can change the game install partition. By highlighting the option and pressing A. But that's if you can get that far
This might sound dumb but I spent AGES without playing because it didn't detect the USB and when I searched for info I just found people saying that you had to take it to repair. Turns out all I had to do was switch ports between the USB and another thing that I have to charge the controllers and boom, all the games are there. Sadly summer is finishing and I'm very busy but after 6 or 7 years I'm for sure gonna find the time to play Pokepark 1 and 2 again.
This was really helpful and I feel very dumb now.
After changing the "Partition Type ID" from 0x0B to 0x0C, the pendrive continues at 0x0B. The app didn't really change it.
have you installed the cios? or try using usb 2.0 drive?
The same with me
Thank you! My usb was formatted to exFAT instead of fat32, which would've taken so long to figure out if it weren't for this video!
Great video! I solved the problem by converting the drive from GBT to MBR. GBT drive has a boot partition that is not formatted FAT32 even you try to format the whole drive as FAT32 with FAT32 GUI tools
THANK YOU THIS WAS MY ISSUE PLEASE EVERYONE IF IT DOESN'T WORK TRY THIS!!! CHANGE PARTITION MAP TO MBR!!!!
I thought NTFS drives work also and are actually better because they don't require a layer break for big files
UPDATE: I found the reason why my games wouldn't load was not due to my hard drive being NTFS but due to my SD card being above the max size of 32gb. Switched from a 64gb to 32 and now they load fine.
cuz 64 gb dont handle fat32 as the usb loader gx requires fat 32 flash drive ,you could have format it with easeus into fat 32
THANK YOU SO MUCH, YOU'RE A LIFE SAVER
After hours and hours of wasting time and other tutorials I ended up on this video, one of the most detailed, serious, useful and precise ever seen after days of research.
Subscription and like are deserved regardless, now I just have to go home after work and try, I'm sure I'll be able to solve that annoying problem with USB Loader GX which doesn't detect my pendrive even though I managed to start it the first time with a test game backup with Wii Party, inserting 3 more games no longer detects anything.
Another absurd thing is that I often have to press button 1 on the remote controller to enable "View Wii Games" but regardless it shows me the error "USB Device not initialized. Switching to channel list mode."
Definitely a problem due to my USB peripheral, with HDD everything goes smoothly, but when it comes to pendrive (rightly formatted exclusively in WBFS) there is always something that goes wrong on my Wii.
lol, just put to the usb on the edge and thats it, is working now. THANKS
Converting my hdd from ntfs to fat32 was the solution, thanks!
This is the ultimate solution for this very common problem. Long time ago I discovered that indeed the Xbox 360 is formatting the device in a way which allows to use the device with GX Loader but I had no idea what makes the difference. Now I know, thanks to you. Great job, bro!
I just attempted to mod a virgin Wii with a 256gig sandisk usb drive 3.0. Nothing I tried could get it to work (including all the steps in this video). It would work once or twice, then fail loading the game. Other drives worked, but not the new one. Finally, I thought to try formatting the drive as "wbfs" using Wii Backup Manager. It finally worked. So....if fat32 just will not play nice, try formatting to wbfs.
shawn bashura After 12 hours, and after 15 videos, and after a pair of batteries in my wiimote, you sir helped me with this issue. You are one in a billion. *Salute*.
I have a peoblem where usb loader wont pick it up, but it works fine through nintendont. I just keep getting usb not initialized.
All you have to do is put the usb loader gx application on your USB.
@@simeondavis5912 you mean the folder from apps?
@@shinespark2175 yup
@@simeondavis5912 ooh, alr but i tried that and it still won't recognize my usb, do you know anything that can help me? If not then thanks anyways!
nothing worked, my usb used to work but idk what changed now it doesn't work
Try using other usb drive
Ah, I had the USB in the wrong port, thank you for the help 🤣
I did resolve my problem after change my Pendrive 3.0 for a old one 2.0 speed.
Make sure put in correct USB port and had formatted FAT32!
I still get the error usb device is not initialized switch to nand channels
make sure you use usb 2.0 drive.
@@sthetixofficial I am using a samdisk 32gb flash drive I don't know if it's 2.0 or not
Carefully he’s a hero
thank you guiformat work flawless
my usb loader gx screen is showing me only the regular things on the mii channel and not the games on the wbfs folder. i have tried absolutely everything. what am i missing?
U need to find a button on the top that looks like a cloud and check the wii games inside the menu
Thanks bro, I used s random 2.0 usb flash drive, all you gotta do is format it to fat32 and download the usb loader gx apps folder on there and a
wbfs folder with a .wbfs game in it and it works
You my friend are a genius - Thankyou very much
dude i dont know my usb is Oxc fat 32 homebrew detecting my drive but usbloadergx dosent and wii flow is sending me back to wii menu launching the game i also reinstalled the ios
Thanks, fixed my usb drive! Thank you sir!
Does it work with usb 3.0 64 gb?
After changing the "Partition Type ID" from 0x0B to 0x0C, the pendrive continues at 0x0B.
i think not
sadly didn't work my Wii is not even picking up anything in the USB ports
Who the hell wakes up at 6:30am on a Monday and says i think I'll make a Wii mod tutorial ??
I have known for a long time that the SD Card need to be FAT32 format. Only recently, I watched a video where someone claimed the USB device required NTFS format (or the other option in Windows). But that FAT32 would not work. It seemed strange that the Wii uses FAT32 on SD Cards but something different on USB storage devices. Well my suspi cions were proper because according to. this guy it has to be FAT32. From reading a few comments I can see that FAT32 is the way to go. Oh well, UA-camrs can be wrong or make mistakes like any one else.
fixed by resetting settings didnt see that was an option previously.
I broke the paths by putting the usb in the wrong port and loading up the app
How did you fix the paths ? Can’t find that option
Genius! it's working now!!!
This was making me crazy. I formatted to FAT32 in gparted linux. Wii did not like that. This pointed me in the right direction, and formatted via windows. Works perfect and I'm running a 512gb SD now.
So my issue is I already have my wii modded of an Sd card but I was trying to run my back up wii games off the usb . USB loader gx only picking up my sd card backups and already use it for dios mios/GameCube backups
you need to put the usb loader gx app on the usb drive, remove it from the sd card.
I did all your guides, re virginized the wii, then the MiiMod guide, the usb loader gx guide and but my pendrive sandisk cruzade 64GB formated to FAT32 is still not picked up, it only works as WBFS format and the loader gx on SD card but i want the app on the usb with fat 32 format... what can i do to fix this?
Try using other drive
@@sthetixofficial Thanks for the replay, i was reading the "manual" that ModMii creates on the web browser, and it says that pendrives only works as WBFS format, only external HDD or SSD can work as FAT32 format :| so never mid i will use it as WBFS thats okay. Thanks for the tutorials, your guide is better than the one on wii hack guide site.
My Wii says “USB device not initialized. Switching back to Channel List Mode” HELP!!
I am using a flash drive
Same gorl
make sure the flash drive is in the usb port closest to the edge of the wii, run usb loader and it should initialise, then click the 4th icon from the left on the top bar, uncheck nand channels and check wii + gamecube games
when i open usbloader it says: usb device not initialased
same
I did resolve my problem after change my Pendrive 3.0 for a old one 2.0 speed.
Make sure put in correct USB port and had formatted FAT32!
Anyone please help. I'm constantly having problems with my wii ever since I switched to a new wii.
Lately 64gb usbs haven't been working,. I'm doing everything I can but when I finally used a third party program to try and recover some bad blocks (didn't work still stuck at 57/64gb) the wii stopped recognizing the usb AGAIN.
Eventually I changed it to 0xC using DiskPart commands but now it won't bring up my wii games. And it keeps freezing in the global settings window.
The wii can read the usb its just being tempermental again and I don't know what I did to make it start reading .wbfs again
Figured it out something is corrupting my apps folder
1;16 it worked it worked ifeel dumb thanks so much
If your games show Up but still not load, make sure that if you downloaded your rom and It was already compressed, press extract here and not dragging It onto the desktop, this happened to me when i was downloading Mario kart wii
The pain of transferring gamea from usb to pc then vise versa...
Thanks, very clear.
Thank you so much!!!
:D
Hey bro thank you i switched hard drive cause the other one broke the problem was the app one where gx loader app wasnt on the hard drive i appreciate you
Tip:if you have a usb 3.0 pls dont use it.... the wii was made in 2006 at the time wii was only able yo read usb 2.0 ...it will corrupt the usb pls listen to me it will help you u can use a usb 2.0 or a hard drive!!
yes usb 3.0 wont work
Lies cause it worked once for me and then out of nowhere started acting up
As i said previously, usb 3.0 won't work.
I tray everything but the Wii not reading the usb
Nothing worked with me... :(
Whoever used this careful
There will be a chance your flash drive will be corrupted and never recover
I’ve done everything to fix it and nothing worked
ur usb drive is damaged, low quality
@@sthetixofficial bro is the Cruze glide that bad?
my glide is ok but very slow
What are some stronger ones
any sandisk is ok but you need to know that there are fakes and clones. to use it on the wii u need to have a usb 2.0 drive
Omgggg thanks a lot dude
This doesnt work, because you have to pay to use the software this guy is using. i dont understand why every comment on this video is so positive
the old software is free, dont blame me.
thanks dude, my problem is solved
I've followed your instructions now, tried both a USB 2.0 and 3.0 drive, still can't find USB.
Edit: if i open USB loader from homebrew menu it loads, but can't find any games. If i check game load in settings it does find the USB device. But no games. And I've tried unhide them etc
u need to put the usb loader gx app on ur usb drive and delete the one on the sdcard. try again
@@sthetixofficial Hey man! Thanks for the reply. I did as you say, I deleted it on my SDcard. Still doesn't load my USB, even tried installing USB loader again.
do this :
wii.guide/cios
then
wii.guide/usbloadergx
@@sthetixofficial THX for the reply again ! I've done both of those, still no go 😂
have you asked at discord.gg/MWxPgEp
mine still does not seem to work, I believe it has recognized it but now it's stuck on the loading config screen, I'm using a 128gb USB stick
try using usb 2.0 drive
ok so loader gx no longer freezes which is great but still doesn't read anything on my flash usb and switches to channel list and yes I plugged it into the right port and format it to fat32, downloaded current updated usb loader gx and d2x cios installer still nothing and what's weird first time setting it up worked fine starting up new super mario bros then went to play another game then my wii went black then I reset it and reupload loader gx then it stopped reading usb so I went to check on the files and there were all messed up so I reformat it to clear the files and then I recopy the files onto it. Loaded the usb again and usb loader gx just stopped reading it and freezes at usb initializing even trying another usb still nothing
bad usb drive
@@sthetixofficial actually they do function well just not with the wii but do you recommend I get a SD card because I've ben told sd cards have no problem at all
u need sdcard of course
Usb loader does not read my usb and just shows channels instead of game’s please help
click the icon on the top that looks like a cloud, then select wii games
sthetix I did that and it says USB device not initialized. Switching back to channel list mode.
try using usb flashdrive
sthetix I am using a Usb flash drive and it’s formatted to FAT32 has the apps folder and i put a game on wpfs format but it’s say not initialized. Should I use a different usb flash drive if so can you recommend one?
yes try using other usb drive or format the drive using guiformat
I did every step, and it still doesn't work. Earlier, the same usb worked for me, but after adding more games, usbloaderGX crashed and now it doesn't read the usb
try replacing the usb drive
can someone help me, when using usb loader gx it gets stuck on initialize usb device.
The only way i can get it to work ,is to start usb loader gx without the hdd plugged in, then when its searching for the hdd plug it back in and it works is there a way so i dont have to do this every time ?
Thank you it wasnt working before
i tried to change the partition type id to 0xc and it keeps going back to 0xb, what do i do?
Hello, amazing video. My USB loader is not working. It is on version 1.06 or something like that. Do I need to update it? Or will I start the whole process again starting with the homebrew channel? Thanks so much.
Please do the modmii guide
I used this tutorial, followed all the steps, and even modified all the properties of my USB flashdrive. USB Loader GX still initialize my flashdrive, what am I doing wrong?
you need to use a usb 2.0 drive
You don't need a separate app for formatting your usb.. just right click the drive, click format, and do all from there
You need to use an external disk formatter IF your drive is larger than 32GB.
@@sthetixofficial ah okay, thanks for the info!
Love your videos. Very clear and detail video. Is there a way to load gamecube games straight from this loader?. I see the games but they dont execute. I use nintendont to execute it.
hmm, i forgot how to do it.. but u can ask discord.gg/MWxPgEp
I have channel installed on my wii and i have the games but it doesn't show up. It show up before then it doesn't. Why
Edit: Maybe my game's are corrupted
thank you very much! it worked.
You saved my life. Thanks
Issues with USB drives over 16gb.
My solution was to shink my 64 gb drive down to 16 gb partitions and then format to ntsc.
Using wbfs manager 4.0 format those partitions and load your .wbfs games as you need.
Once in usb loader gx. In settings allow multiple partitions so usb loader gx sees them all at once
thanks, this helped a lot
you are the best one thanks a lot
You fixed it for me! 😁
Hey man, I accidentally loaded USB loader without my usb, then it said something about switching channels and now it only shows my main menu applications like USB loader and the mii channel. Is there a way to switch back, thank you
Ark.Fxシ open usb loader and click the 4th option from the left on the top bar. disable nand channels and enable wii and gamecube games

i have a small question is your usb thumb drive 3.0 or 2.0 ?
2.0
@@sthetixofficial i have a 128g usb 3.0 thumb drive the wii is able to read the games but they all give black screen on launch the only solution for this is to format the usb to wbfs only i found about that just 5 min ago 😓 why is this a bummer is because i wanted to add gamecube games to but i cant :(((
The 0x0c FAT32 LBA option doesn't seem to exist. I've tried two different hdds and a newer version of the mini format tool, but the drive ID type is always a long alpha-numeric string, and the option to change it to one of the pre-defined ID types consists of other equally long IDs.
ur hdd is gpt not mbr. try to convert it to mbr.
@@sthetixofficial I've read that could be a solution, but The MiniTool Petition Wizard doesn't seem to have that feature. I've also tried EaseUS Petition Master, but that didn't work either. Is there software that you would recommend? Thanks
any disk partitioner will work. even the free version. try using the diskgenius.
@sthetixofficial It appears that it can't be converted because it's above 2 TB. I thought 5 TB partitioned into three separate volumes would be possible, but apparently, it's a hard limit based on the total disc volume.
@MegaZAPHOD afaik the limit is 4tb.
not true. loader GX works with NTFS too. it says on the github page
Thank you that last step was the thing that helped
Hey did u had the problem where the white background comes but nothing is there
@@brainlesswarrior657 no
I am having a different problem, when i connect my nunchuck it doesnt allow me to move the cursor with the remote while being inside usb loader gx. But when i exit. Its working fine thr cursor
Theres something wrong with your nunchuck maybe
Yes thank you it worked for me
Hi, I'm having the same problem, but I'm not using USB loader GX, I'm using Wii flow. Wii sports works just fine, but New Super Mario Bros won't load, what should I do?
bad game
Not Working for me
At the last step i cant change to 0xc
Its not even listed in the Programm
Just some other long Texts 3:46
your hdd is GPT, not MBR.
ca marche ! bravo pour ce tuto.
I am not getting oxc lba on my minitool partition wizard. Its giving me all of these other partitions that have long password-type pins on them. What do I pick that is equivalent to 0xc lba?
is your hdd mbr or gpt?

Thanks Bro it works
How do you change the loading screen and icon/banner?
Does it work with USB 3.0 ???
some works, some don't. use usb 2.0 better.
I need help, this is strange but only WiiFlow can read my flash drive and not USBLoaderGX nor CFG USB loader. It used to work before but not anymore. Also, GX loader won't even read the NAND channels. Do you know any reasons why that happens? Will appreciate a response thank you.
you need to choose one usb loader app inside your flash drive, look inside the app folder.
@@sthetixofficial I want to USB Loader GX
remove other apps and only use the usb loader gx inside the usb drive.
@@sthetixofficial Ok and then what?
then u can load it. or
. u download modmii, and use the usbloader set up option
Thank you very much, now my drive can be detected via usbloader gx. :]
Glad I could help
Help, some of my games don’t show up in usb loader, but when I go to wiiflow they show up fine, do I have to do something in setting for usb loader?
for the usb loader u need to make sure to enable wii games only.
What is the purpose of USB Loader? Is it needed for GC games? When I load Nintendont directly it gives me the option to choose USB anyway. Having the box art interface is nice, but it feels like I'm taking an extra step for no real reason. I've given up on Wii backups since in my furthest attempt (game showed up, but didn't load beyond initial boot screen) my USB stick died and had to be replaced.
yes usb loader is to load games
afaik we need to use usb 2.0 drive
still doesnt work for me :( my usb was already on FAT32 and all the other stuff. I had no problem for 2 years and now suddenly it doesnt work
Try using a usb 2.0 drive
Everytime I try doing the last step of making oxb to oxc, I click properties and it still shows my fat32 drive oxb... Any idea on how to fix this?
Have you tried using other software ? for example Aomei partition manager.
Thank you! It worked!!
I'm using a Wii U. Would I use the same USB port on the back that you showed in the video or is it different?
afaik you need a Y cable for wii u unless you are using a usb drive
i have a problem... after i put my usb to a fat32 i cant upload games more than 4 gb on it but i want to help... or does ntfs work?
you need to install games with the wii backup manager wii.guide/wiibackupmanager.html
When I tried to do the last step, I did everything, when it said 0xc was successful, it was still 0xb, it didn’t save at all, why?
try using other usb devices
Okay
@@AwashAnenome361 same for me
Hello! I'm having a problem I've checked doubled check everything you said, I'm pretty sure my USB is not faulty as it works fine on my other devices, For my Wii it's still not working after the video so is my SD Card 4gb of space, please give some suggestions anything will help!
I've installed cIOS to. Homebrew detects it fine.
try installing d2xcios and check if the usb drive is 2.0
i tried d2xcios my usb is also 2.0
put the usbloadergx apps inside the usb drive. not inside the sdcard
@@sthetixofficial Thank you so much!
it says i have to pay to change the partition type id. is there any way to do it for free?
