FULL GUIDE to Play Games on Wii (USB Loader GX Tutorial 2023) 

thanks for letting everyone know! :)

im about to start this tutorial, that’s for the confirmation🙏😁

im doing it now too and im wondering how do i get the games to even begin with, in other words: where/how do i get the games i want to have on my wii usb loader???

Mines freezing wut am i doing wrong

how did you get the backup manager page to work? I tried and it takes me to download a different application and looks nothing like this video

I'm so glad I could help you on your modding journey 😁 my weekend was awesome, hope yours was too ❤️

Sorry but have some more question. When I have the Wad on the SD card and not on the usb drive, does it matter? And are there any themes that can brick my console? And can the Wii recognise a 64 GB USB-Stick?

@@Hue_like12 WADS work just fine on SD cards. I haven't messed with actual Wii themes but I've read that you can definitely brick your system if you don't do it properly. And finally, USB sticks are usable but not the best option. I've read that they're very likely to become corrupted. I started out with an SD card but upgraded to a 1TB external hard drive. Works amazingly and I have more than enough space for all the games I could want. I only keep the SD card in my system for wads, game saves and channels.

Bro can you help me modding my Wii

@@Lev427 Follow the guide, I don't even remember the whole process but I followed one of Scott's earlier guides and I got it. It takes time, lots of downloading and placing files, external storage and patience!

@trintozedger man help us out, where to get them games ?

How did u download the wiibackup manager through the google doc?

@@daytona2874 Oh yea that also confused me for a second because they changed it from the website to a google drive. The google drive IS the zip file. just go towards the top right on it and click the download button. Hope this helps!

growing fast! hopefully one day, maybe not in a year though :P

@@funkyscott47 just keep making these great videos and you’ll hit it in no time

Same problem here...

@@melvin_pictures6598 Figured out the solution. I followed Lima112s video, pretty sure the video language is Portuguese so I'll try to explain how to do it here. What I did was backup what was on my USB to another folder that isn't on my USB (apps, wad, etc,.) and used an application from the site rufus,ie (replace , with .) I reformatted the USB with these settings: Non Bootable Boot Selection, Volume Label 32 GB, File System FAT32, and Cluster Size 32 kilobytes. After formatting I pasted my backup for apps, wad, etc, back into the USB and everything seems to be working properly now after plugging it into my Wii. I'm not sure if you need to redownload the cIOS and other stuff but I'm able to get into USB Loader GX with this

where do i go to get these games?

Perfect timing! And yes that works as well :)

Has anyone fixed this yet? Having the same problem

amazing to hear! happy gaming

I'd just stick to Nintendont for the Wii games but unsure about wii ware

Wiiware just goes in the WAD folder and you use the wad installer to add them to the library

Perfect timing!!

@@funkyscott47 i couldnt do this with the other video because the d2x_v_10x_beta wasnt there. But i finally did it with this video!

@@funkyscott47 Can you make a video about copying big game files? Because it gave me an error trying to download smash bros...

Amazing, I'm always glad to help ❤️

@@funkyscott47 👍

I've got the same problem and still its not working. The Games will not launch and i can't figure out why :( I followed step by step exactly how it was explained...

@@Devillsgaming i finally figured out the setting bud, thought id pass it along. solved today 9/17/2023 go to usbloader gxand make sure to TURN OFF SD card Mode in the "hard drive settings" tab. for some reason it wont read from both usb OR sd card.

I am having the exact same problem most games will load but a couple sit there black screen.

My games aren’t appearing but it reads my usb

I have had this issue. Here is a few reasons why this may occur Is there any spaces between the game ID and the ".wbfs" file. Did you get the correct region game ID Did you definitely check you got the right game ID.
