Your external drive might be formatted to WBFS file system. Windows file explorer won't be able to read it so it will ask you to format it.

You can try using Wii Backup Manager to see if it recognizes the games

I put USB Loader GX in another usb and tried to put it in, but idk how to actually install it, I dont think that connecting a usb with the app will install it automatic

#

I did

static walrus Apr 11, 2023, 2:47 PM

#

It also explains how to install it

vapid dew Apr 11, 2023, 2:47 PM

#

It says just plug it in and go to homebrew

#

I did, nothing new appeared

static walrus Apr 11, 2023, 2:47 PM

#

Do you have the homebrew channel set to the correct source

vapid dew Apr 11, 2023, 2:47 PM

#

I dont know

#

How do I see that?

#

In the HBC, you can press 1 on the wiimote to select the source that HBC uses to check for apps

#

#

How can I put usb loader gx with the rest?

#

Like, I cant access the external drive with wbfs so I dont know how to put the app with the rest of them

#

Is there any way to see the files and folders in the external drive?

#

I don't know what you mean

#

Just put them on the same drive as your other apps

vapid dew Apr 11, 2023, 2:51 PM

#

Yeah thats the problem

#

I cant access the drive with the other apps

#

Windows cant do it

#

It doesnt recognize wbfs

#

To use the file explorer

static walrus Apr 11, 2023, 2:52 PM

#

I didn't think you can put apps on a wbfs drive

vapid dew Apr 11, 2023, 2:52 PM

#

#

Maybe they are in the sd card

static walrus Apr 11, 2023, 2:53 PM

Normally apps go on SD

vapid dew Apr 11, 2023, 2:53 PM

USB Loader GX has official Forwader Channels. You can install them to the Wii System Menu using a wad manager like Wii Mod Lite:

Wii:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/usbloadergx/files/Releases/Forwarders/USB Loader GX-UNEO_Forwarder_5_1_AHBPROT.wad

#

Put WAD files in a folder called WAD on the root of your SD or USB.

Then install it using a wad manager like Wii Mod Lite:
https://wii.guide/wiimodlite

After you install a WAD file using a WAD manager, you can delete it from your WAD folder. They're installed to the Wii's system memory so there's no reason to keep it on your SD/USB.
