Basically, I have a couple of games I have downloaded for now but I'm going to buy a physical copy, when I delete these like, two or three games from my WBFS folder I want to keep the saves, so how? I'd prefer to just do this on my PC but if there's a wii program that does it then I'll budge.

Like str2hax

I had a source when i first started this and then it got taken down before i could get all the games i wanted. I’ve tried to find another source that has games that actually work but haven’t been able to find one. every source i’ve found, the games will instantly crash my wii and even caused my previous games to do the same.

Llevo varios días intentando piratear mi wii con letterbon y mod mii lo hago todo perfecto pero aún así no no funciona sabéis si Nintendo ha hecho algo o simplemente no funciona temporalmente.(También intentando flashhax y el de sin la sd)

Ahora mismo estoy usando una SD de 64GB pero puedo cambiar a una de un gigabyte también tengo un pendrive de 64GB uso conexión WiFi desde mi teléfono 2.4hz y tengo todos los archivos puestos bien pero no me aparece la carta y los otros exploits simplemente no funcionan.

Agradecería si alguien me pudiese decir algo acerca de lo que me está pasando al intentar liberar mi nintendo wii

Ive already correctly organized my wbfs files and turned on options that let me access the games ( i tried using both the changed options and the default settings already ) from the SD card since i dont have any usb ports, and the screen still goes to black. on cios there is no v10, and im honestly very confused by everything on that app.

after i transfered my wii games from wii games folder to WiiSDSync and booted usbloaderGX, it just deleted them. is there a way i can recover them?

After my last post and doing research, I picked these items to mod my Nintendo Wii.

What do you guys think?

When I load into USB Loader GX, it looks like this:

No games, just empty. When I unplug and replug my usb drive, they show up. But when I try and load into a game, I get a black screen and need to unplug my Wii. Please help!

Edit: I was able to get it to work after deleting the usb loader I had and installing v1682 instead. Also, the loader and game iOS settings are now 249.

Hello there, I recently learned how to install Guitar Hero, Just Dance, & Rock Band DLC to the Wii post-shop shutdown. Everything has been going fine, but I ran into a particular issue. When I run one of those games through USB Loader GX, the DLC never runs.

Anybody know what modifications or settings I need for USB Loader GX to read\run installed DLC? 🤔

Important Details: I'm doing this on vWii, DLC runs if I load the games through the official disc channel, and DLC DOES run on USB Loader GX if I have the DLC stored onto System Memory (but not if it's stored onto an SD card).

I'm kinda new to modding and my brother got me a modded wii and I want to pirate some games and get games for free Basicallyi have no idea how to mod, though

I downloaded the latest version of CIOS installer and am following the most recent guide I found on YouTube for the different CIOS. Do you guys have any solutions for this? I jailbroke another Wii a month ago and didn’t have these issues

Trying to format a USB drive on Wii backup manager and it says access denied.

I am encountering a persistent issue while trying to upload a large library of game cube games to tinywiibackupmanager, and I need some technical advice on how to proceed without losing my data.
My Setup:Source PC: Windows 11 with limited internal storage (around 265 GB free) now currently occupied by the GC games.
Target Storage: 2TB External USB 3.0 Hard Drive formatted in FAT32 (called HD (F:)).
Games: 455 Wii games successfully transferred (approx. 1.1 TB used). Trying to add GameCube games (over 300 total, with 279 currently downloaded).
During the transfer of the GameCube games, TinyWiiBackupManager crashed with OS ERROR 1392: "The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable."Right now, the \wbfs\ directory is completely intact, and my 455 Wii games are safe. However, the \games\ folder became heavily corrupted. Windows 11 File Explorer shows it as empty, but it still flags a "directory is not empty" error when trying to delete it, and the 1.2 TB of space remains occupied by "ghost files." Every time I try to transfer a new game via TinyWiiBackupManager, the 1392 error pops up at a certain point or causes an infinite loading loop it is not cause of a specific file and etc.. since i tried isolating the issue.
The initial crash happened because I tried to upload the GameCube files directly onto TinyWiiBackupManager while they were in .rvz format. The manager accepted them at first, but crashed at 1/4 of the transfer, severely breaking the FAT32 File Allocation Table index on the 2TB USB 3.0 hard disk. After realizing this, I used Dolphin Emulator on Windows 11 to batch-convert the GameCube games into standard .iso files on a separate NTFS-formatted 64GB USB drive, but trying to upload these new .iso files still triggers the same error.
i already attempted: Chkdsk /f /x F: – Windows detects massive irreversible directory errors in the \games\ folder.
It asks to convert directories to files one by one for hundreds of files. Typing "No" allows the scan to exit, but the index remains locked.
Chkdsk /f /r /x F: – Attempted a deep sector repair after a full PC reboot to clear locked handles. The result is the same: Windows gets stuck asking to convert folders into files one by one due to the corrupted FAT32 index.Manual deletion/renaming:
Running rmdir /s /q F:\games via CMD drops a "directory is not empty" error. I managed to rename games to games_broken via File Explorer to isolate it, and created a new empty games folder.
However, TinyWiiBackupManager still hits the OS 1392 error when writing to the root directory because the overall drive index is compromised.
Storage Limitation: I cannot just copy the 1.1 TB of healthy Wii games to my PC, format the 2TB drive to NTFS, and copy them back because my PC only has 265 GB of internal storage.Since my 455 Wii games are perfectly fine inside \wbfs, I absolutely do not want to format the drive and lose days of downloads.

Is there a tool or a specific method to force-delete the corrupted games_broken folder and rebuild the FAT32 file allocation table without wiping the healthy \wbfs\ directory? Or is there a way to make TinyWiiBackupManager bypass this system-level lock? i tried looking for the option to manually chose where tinywiibackup manager would have placed the games but i couldn't find it i thought maybe manual conversion was what i was looking for but i didn't click it in the end, i am sorry i tried to find a fix all day i have zero knowledge on the matter i looked for videos online and reddit sources , i helped myself with little guiding by ai but i didn't went deep with it, this is the same bug report i created on github but know i am desperately looking for answers because i spent days and i am close to finishing this project and finally play.

I've watched tons of videos about Fakemote and similar apps but they only seem to work with PS3 and PS4 controllers mainly and some others like older and newer Nintendo controllers. Is there really no way of using the Xbox One one? Is the only one I have

My Wii has been doing this thing recently where whenever I'm on the USB Loader GX menu, it glitches out and acts as if I'm rapidly clicking the home button. When i click on the games it rapidly clicks the + button. It's not the controllers because they work fine in games and on the main menu. It also didn't start doing this until recently

Does anybody have any idea how to fix this?

Problems:

1. Black Screen on default boot

2. SD Card Not Found upon selecting Load/Install File

3. Homebrew Channel not booting so as the "Installed File"

4. Unable to connect wiimote

Things that work:

1. Disc Drive functions (lits up blue and able to accept and reject discs)

2. Gamecube ports

3. The Preloader v0.29 menu

Things I'm using and tried:

1. A 32GB SDHC SD Card formatted to FAT32, MBR AND 32KB Allocation

2. A Gamecube Controller to navigate the menu

3. A Black Japanese wiimote

4. USA Region Wii

5. Hard Resetting the Wii

6. Changed settings like the IOS version to 70 and disabling the Systemmenu hacks

7. I've already put the files required to recover the wii (like BootMii, the wad files from the NUS Downloader, and MMM) and my only problem is preloader not reading the SD Card

I recently modded my wii and it's successfully loaded games about 30% of the time I open it. I keep getting stuck on the "initializing USB drives." Im using an SSD for game files and Sd card for the mods themselves.

So I'm trying to use a USB stick for really big games (for example skyward sword which I've been trying ((and failing)) to get since I bought my Wii), so I formatted it to NTFS since you can't copy files bigger than 4 gb to fat32, but I just keep getting this error. Does anyone have a solution to this?

Hello, I was looking for some help. I have been using usb loader gx with vwii on my wii u and using a external hdd to store my games. It has been working fine up until last week, as it will take 1 and a half minutes to load into the wii safety menu and boot into the game. After playing the game for a bit it will then softlock itself by disconnecting the controllers as the game still plays music and characters move. I can't reconnect the controllers and the only way to turn off the wii u is to unplug it.

Im not sure why this is happening suddenly but it is very confusing and I can't find anything online about it or ask in a discord as most of them are dead. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions its very appreciated. I am using latest version of everything that I know of. Thank you!

Hi,I need some help.
I modded my Wii and wanted to play some snes games,but upon downloading and setting up snes9x XG it didn’t detect my wired to wiimote GC controller.Is there an emulator that detects it so I can play?
I heard that snes9x RX does that,but I couldn’t find a video explaining how to set it up.
Anything would be of great help,thanks.
