Hello. I am a complete Wii newbie, and I just bought one from a guy that used to play games from a USB stick.
He has Homebrew, CIOS, USB Loader GX, etc. A lot of stuff. Unfortunately I did not get the stick...
I got hold of some wbfs files and copied them to a usb stick of my own, each in its own folder and with the proper code name.
I inserted them in the right USB port but the USB Loader does not read them.
Only shows a blank screen.
What am I missing here?
Thanks!

Depends.
Is your USB formatted to FAT32 and 32K Cluster Size?
If yes, then:
Are your games in the correct route? That is:
USB:/wbfs/name_of_game_[GAME ID]/ID.wbfs
For instance:
USB:/wbfs/Mario Kart Wii [RMCP01]/RMCP01.wbfs
If yes, then:
Are you using latest CFG USB Loader or USB Loader GX?
If yes, then it's probably your USB not being compatible with your Wii.

    but I don't really believe any rumors yet
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    need to have official info from N
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    The 3DO and Neo Geo where like 700 bucks hmm the PS3 was stupid expensive at launch lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    But at least the PS3 was only 500 for the cheapest one at launch
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    My opinion is that 199.99 is the sweet spot but that spot is long gone lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Just played some Micheal Jackson Moonwalker.... Those poor parents trying desperately to protect their children
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    400 is a decent sweet spot if we get enough out of it
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It's not like how it was when we were locked down to a few options and that's it
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    For me just buying a Pi and some accessories fills that not a PC void new consoles have just put them close to PC prices and all the patching and updates makes me feel like I might as well just get a PC
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Were talking new Gen consoles at launch here
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah they just are glorified mid range PCs these days
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    The age of home consoles has passed, they got assimilated
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They still serve a purpose for people that don't want to dive deep into it and just buy something that works
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think the PS3 was the last console that was custom and felt at least slightly home console to me, although the constant updates pissed me off to no end.... "I got a day off from work let's play some games..." Well maybe after the hour long firmware update.... Shit the game needs an hour long update too??
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Microsofts giving us options the other two should've followed with tbh not everyone is going to give a damn about 4k 120fps
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah I think they should have focused on 1440P and let the TVs handle upscale duty
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    My 4K TV admittedly is a higher end one turns 1080P into 4K nicely
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Og switch should've released with 1440p and then release with a cheaper 720p panel at the end
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Switch Ghetto Edition lol
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Screw a lite they missed an opportunity to sell the screen
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all these retro consoles and Pi owe a large part of their market to home consoles being so expensive and the collectors driving up old consoles to the sky.
  • Faust03 @ Faust03:
    switch 2 will only have 3 games and will be the second coming of the virtual boy
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Nah if you're thinking switch 2 vr headset they have enough of a blueprint for specs to be decent Mario in full room scale would be cool some vr headsets already did demo of smb3 with a apple vr iirc
