Zip downloads and 7z

[real nexus]

I am having trouble with some games

i have a mario galaxy 2 downloaded with .zip

can i use games that have .zip on wiiflow to play them on my wii?

now i hope someone helps me

AAAAAAAA im gonna be stuck here

@dire dust

@spark glacier

@idle marten

[dire dust]

uh

[real nexus]

hey

[dire dust]

unzip the zip

[real nexus]

wait wait wait

ok

im very curious

[dire dust]

right click the zip

[real nexus]

ik but wait

[dire dust]

click extract

[dire dust]

ok

[real nexus]

i downloaded a mario galaxy 2

its a .zip

and i made wbfs folder

outside of my sd card

i put extracted games there

and then i put folder in root of sd?

[dire dust]

no

[real nexus]

then what

also what I use to extract

7z

or the other

[dire dust]

Here is what the folder structure should look like for game loading:

💾SD/USB:
┣ 📂 wbfs
┃ ┣ 📂 GameName [GAMEID]
┃ ┃ ┗ 📄 GAMEID.wbfs
┃ ┗ 📂 GameName [GAMEID] -- NOTE: This example is for split wbfs files, if your game is smaller than 4gb, ignore it
┃ ┣ 📄 GAMEID.wbfs
┃ ┗ 📄 GAMEID.wbf1
┗ 📂 games
┣ 📂 GameName [GAMEID]
┃ ┗ 💿 game.iso -- NOTE: This is LITERALLY game.iso, not the name of the game, or the game id, just game
┗ 📂 GameName [GAMEID] -- This example is for multi disc games
┣ 💿 game.iso
┗ 💿 disc2.iso

⚠️ Note: the wbfs folder is for WII GAMES ONLY and the games folder is for GAMECUBE GAMES ONLY

• If you are going to do this process manually, you can get the gameIDs here:
  https://www.gametdb.com/

⚠️ Make sure you use the gameID for the correct region for your game.

Wii Backup Manager:

• For Wii games you can just use any of the programs found on this page as an easier alternative to manually creating the folder structure. Wii Backup Manager can split games, name them correctly, make sure the region is correct, and create the folder structure you.

GameCube Backup Manager:

• For GameCube games you can just use this program found on this page as an easier alternative to manually creating the folder structure. https://wii.guide/gcbackupmanager

[analog walrus]

This isn't complicated at all.

[real nexus]

[real nexus]
