There are internal hard drives in enclosures, my personal favorite because you can swap drives out in minutes. If you want to play it safe and get more storage for your money, but don't mind the large size of hard drives - then the hard drive is for you. If you're willing to take the chance and buy a flash drive so you don't have to have a hard drive laying around - go for it.

Personally, I've had 4 flash drives, and out of all of them one of them straight up got killed, one of them didn't launch games, the other kept corrupting, and the last one flat out wasn't recognized by the Wii. Some work great, some don't work at all, and some sort of work. USB flash drives have pretty poor compatibility with the Wii. They have no such sleep issues, they're very small and discrete, and flash storage is getting cheaper by the minute. Most every hard drive won't have a problem either way, as when there's drive activity they'll wake up.įlash drives are a bit of a different story. Hard drives may or may not need external power to avoid going to sleep. Though there's a tradeoff when you switch from a flash drive to a hard drive. None of the compatibility issues of flash drives, and a lot more space. The most universal, quick and easy, foolproof storage device to use for a Wii is an external hard drive. People have different needs in a storage device, and some people think their solution is better than the other. I hope I didn't forget anything.This can be a little bit of a controversial topic around here, and for good reason. You'll need to relaunch USB Loader GX after doing this.

Once you've copied all your games, press 1 to download covers for your games.If you have game discs, insert each disc and press + to copy the game disc to the USB drive.Go to the Wii menu and launch the new USB Loader GX channel.If the Wii is standing vertically and you're looking at it from above, the USB should go in the slot on the left, the one that's closer to the edge. For example, you might have the structure /wbfs/Mario Kart Wii /RMCP01.wbfs. Gamecube games are similar, but the file is named game.iso (literally that). To add a game, make a folder named Game Title inside either wbfs or games, then put your WBFS file inside it, named GAMECODE.wbfs. Create a folder on the USB named wbfs for Wii games, and a folder named games for Gamecube games. If you already have game ISO/WBFS files, you'll need to do this step.

Install the WAD you downloaded before in the wad folder using the on screen instructions.

Launch the Homebrew Channel again and select YAWMM.

Launch the Homebrew Channel again and select USB Loader GX.

Follow the instructions on this page very carefully to install cIOS.

Make sure you can see USB Loader GX, d2x's cIOS installer, YAWMM, and Nintendont.

You can probably install BootMii too, I don't know if it's important.

Follow the instructions on the screen to install the Homebrew Channel.

Wait a moment to be able to skip the scam warning screen.

Browse forwards or backwards a few days until you find the bomb.

On the Wii menu, go to the letter icon in the corner.

Download the other Nintendont files from this folder specifically and put them into the same folder on the SD next to boot.dol.

Save it to /apps/nintendont/boot.dol (must be that exact name). Your SD should now also contain /apps/YAWMM_EN/*. Extract it into the existing apps folder.

Download the USB Loader GX channel forwarder WAD file.

Create a folder named wad in the root of your SD.

Your SD should now also contain /apps/usbloader-gx/*. Your SD should now contain /apps/d2x-cios-installer/*. ( Source.) Extract it to the root of the SD.

Get LetterBomb and choose to bundle the HackMii installer.

Apparently the USB can also be formatted as NTFS. You'll need an SD card and a USB drive, both formatted as FAT32. I'm using LetterBomb, cIOS, USB Loader GX, YAWMM, and Nintendont. I'll pick one up from a second-hand shop or wait for one online to have a good price. I can't play online with CTGP Revolution because I still don't have a game disc. I'll describe the process I went through in case anyone else wants to do the same. Today I modded the household Wii and put my copies of Mario Kart Double Dash and Mario Kart Wii onto a flash drive to play, since I don't have the discs. Looking for a Mario Kart Wii WBFS download?
