https://Wii.guide/dump-games

For dumping your own discs. If a game won’t dump with cleanrip then it’s too scratched to dump

[visual cloud]

Wii won’t read the usb

[vernal glade]

You have homebrew apps there?

[visual cloud]

wiiflow and wiimodlite

[limpid birch]

What happens when you press 1, select USB, and press Ok

In the HBC

[visual cloud]

it doesnt even recognize it

i found out why

my usb is a little bit broken

[vernal glade]

Do you have a SD?

@visual cloud

[limpid birch]

Is the USB drive formatted to MBR and FAT32?

And can you take a screenshot of the app files

[visual cloud]

[limpid birch]

The Priiloader installer isn't appearing in the homebrew channel?

[visual cloud]

yeah

[runic temple]

I'm just struggling to remove the clips in the top.

[limpid birch]

Can you send a screenshot of the Priiloader files on your SD

[shadow hornet]

Yeah when I tried I broke one of the clips accidentally

Get like a pry tool or something

[runic temple]

The same on a duplicate broken Wii remote

[shadow hornet]

Try not to bend it too much

[limpid birch]

You shouldn't have a Priiloader folder on the root of your SD

[runic temple]

I think i will open a thread on discord

[visual cloud]

?

the ustruction said i should

[limpid birch]

What's inside the apps folder

[limpid birch]

and in that folder

[limpid birch]

Okay, copy the apps folder to the root of your SD

Then delete the priiloader folder that's on root

[visual cloud]

just the apps in the priloader folder?

[limpid birch]

Right

[visual cloud]

i did it

[limpid birch]

Okay try loading the app now

[visual cloud]

k

YES!

its there

Just installed it

Alcohol worked

How do I take out the rusted parts on the top?

fixed one wii remote

how do i ad games to wii flow through usb?

[limpid birch]

Do you have the disc or are you downloading from the internet

[limpid birch]

Follow this guide to dump your Wii games:
https://wii.guide/dump-games

Then use WBM or the other recommended software to transfer/convert the ISO to WBFS on your USB hard drive or SD:
https://wii.guide/wiibackupmanager

Wii Backup Manager only works for Wii games. There are different instructions for GameCube games.

[visual cloud]

downloading from internet

[limpid birch]

Okay, make sure they're in WBFS format

[visual cloud]

yeah

what else

[limpid birch]

You'll also want to make sure your USB drive is MBR partition style with a single FAT32 partition with 32kb allocation unit size

Then you can transfer the wbfs to your USB drive using Wii Backup Manager

Then make sure you're using port0

[visual cloud]

where is wii backup manager located

[limpid birch]

Use 32kb (32,768 bytes) allocation unit size

Double check the partition style is MBR: https://www.howtogeek.com/245610/how-to-check-if-a-disk-uses-gpt-or-mbr-and-how-to-convert-between-the-two/

[limpid birch]

https://wii.guide/wiibackupmanager

It's a PC program

[visual cloud]

ok

[visual cloud]

How do I load the games I have on my usb

[limpid birch]

Power down the Wii
Plug the USB drive into your PC
Open Disk Management.
Find your USB drive.
Send a screenshot like this one:

[limpid birch]

Right click where I highlighted in blue

Select Properties
Go to the volumes tab.
Make sure the Partition Style says MBR and not GPT

[visual cloud]

did that and yes its MBR

Master boot record

[limpid birch]

Okay, I recommend using a different USB drive.

USB sticks should be avoided as they often cause issues.

A USB hard drive will be more reliable.

Any usb hard drive 2tb or smaller should work. If you're low on money, just get the cheapest one you can find
Here is a very cheap 320gb HDD:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HF9H0MA/
If you want something with a reliable warranty and might be made of better material, get a 1tb one from a known brand like WD, Seagate, or Toshiba:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079D359S6/

You can also use any 2.5" SATA drive with an enclosure known to work with the Wii:
https://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-Tool-free-Enclosure-Optimized-EC-UASP/dp/B00OJ3UJ2S/

If this isn't an option then I recommend loading games from an SD as the next best method.

If you must use the USB stick, you can try formatting the USB stick to WBFS instead of FAT32. This will sometimes allow a USB stick to work.

[little charm]

"sometimes"

not guaranteed it will work
