This is really frustrating me. I can format my HDD, but once I format and try to move an .iso over (it's Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, if that helps), it takes a split second, says it moved it, and then nothing. It doesn't move the game over to the HDD as far as I can tell. Help?
I downloaded Mario Partey 8, it's 1.34 GB, what is the nessecary file type? ISO? It's just a file with no extension, at all. DO i convert it? Help anyone?
Okay, I've tried all I can but I can't drag iso files into the manager and they won't appear when I use the browse button. I can't put isos into the usb!!! btw, i'm trying to put a japanese iso into it (not sure if us games work though, never tried) Please help!!! bbtw, The game I'm trying to get is Taiko no Tatsujin wii (seems awesome.)
@jrged well, have the same probelm as you, i trying by adding ".ISO" at the end of the fil name, but when i loaded it on wbfs manager, it loaded and everything, but its says on an empty file on mine. OH , a tip to make it easier, save your game file on the deskopt so you dont have to go so much thorugh files.
My problem is that my Iomega Prestige Portable Hard Drive 500 GB can't be formated by WBFS manager so I tried with Wii Backup Manager but when starting ANY Usb Loader, it says : DSI error occured : 819286291...... then I don't know what to do...
@SuperMario64N64 - have you tried the USB Loader GX homebrew, if you put your Iomega hdd in and start that on the wii it will format it for you then just use wbfs manager on your pc to put games on it.
i have a problem. i have a 4.14gb dbz bt3 iso ntsc. whenever i put this into wbfs manager it doesnt name the game and it says estimated size 0.00gb and it shows the iso size as 4.14gb. if i add it to my external hdd and turn on the wii it cant even find the game. plz helpz meh.
Hey DUDE! I download a torrent from 3 different sites for Super Smash Bros Brawl. When I try to Browse I don't see it. Trust me. I saved it in the right place! Desktop.
a quick question. My brother said that i shouldnt format the drive or it will not allow me to use the games, but thats when i plug it in, when i try to add games I get a black screen error, when he does it on his computer it works. Do I format it?
I have a stupid problem, after restarting my computer it only works once. If i open it up again theres no text at all. I have to restart the computer again so i can use it once more.
I have a question, I downloaded a game and it's not an .iso file, it's a .wbfs file, and I can't work out how to add it to my usb to play the game so can any1 help me?
First: tnx for this helpful tutorial. Thumbs up! I still have a question about the HDD. Can i use an USB powered HDD or do i have to use one with a power supply cord?
@SamWhite2000 Ok tnx for your answer! I have another question. I have an European Wii (PAL) can i play NTSC games (iso files of course) or will it crash?
on the WBFS Manager, when I try to browse a game (upload, whatever you call it), it give me this message--
"Error(s) occurred while reading some of the ISO files. Not enough free space in temporary folder, choose a different temporary folder with at least 4.8 GB free."
An that''s where I got stuck! I do know how to change the temporary folder (and yes, I've tried), but it still keeps saying the same message!
@SamWhite2000 Is there a seperate program or something to add games to the hard drives??? I have a hard drive with games on it.... but when I try to use WBFS Manager it ONLY wants to let me format..... so Im assuming its not in WBFS format wich is why I ask if theres another program.... thanks
@SMSeeder355 Well it somehow decided to format. I used a flashdrive instead because I had a lot fo important stuff on my external harddrive. I tried transferring SSBB onto it and it didn't transfer because the flashdrive didn't carry enough memory. Thanks.
When I click on format it says that everything on my hard drive will be deleted none of the file will be recoverable. I don't want that to happen. What should I do?
@hljosehacks put some games up for download? what do u mean? do u mean as in direct download? if ur asking that, no. I can link you to some torrents if u want, but u need a torrent client.
Hey Guys,I have a softmodded wii 4.3E and i've had it like this for like a month but for some reason yesterday, my SDHC card couldn't be read in my Wii,It used to work fine and read all my homebrew stuff like FCEUX GX etc.
I recently moved the mega man 9 and 10 DLCs to my SDHC from my wii to see if i could get my DLCs working cus they would'nt work either
MY SDHC still works in my pc and my wii still reads SD cards so i don't know why my Wii wont read SDHC anymore,can anyone help thanks :)
i share a hard drive my family they use it for movies id like to use it for this .Would they still beable to watch movies on their PC when and if i need to format the USB Drive?
I couldn't listen to your video anymore. I had to stop with your whining voice and your cocaine sniffing in the background. Your voice is so annoying and I can't believe nobody has said anything about it. I would rather be in a nazi camp with them sticking needles in my eyes then to listen to your voice and your sniffling. God you suck.
@nidoyam if it comes in fifty parts, it isnt a iso file, so wat u gotta do is get winRAR and then after installing winRAR right click on the 1st of the 30 or 50 or so files, and click extract which will make a folder that will create 1 (ONE) iso file in it, that file is the one to place on ur HDD.
When I try to load my drive it says ''Drive could not be read, make sure it's formatted in WBFS format. Then I try to format it but then it gives an error ''Could not format drive'' :((
@littlejumpfreak just try formating under FAT32 under windows explorer, then try formatting to WBFS... if that doesnt work tell me. and also, make sure the drive isnt being used by any other programs or processes
I followed all the instructions, but when I load my ISO to my drive (yes its the right drive and formatted), the loading screen comes up for about 2 seconds and then says the transfer was a success. But then it says that nothing is on my drive and when I plug it back into the usb loader on my wii, it says no games are on it what do I do please help
Once i try to put more games on my hard drive (after playing from the hard drive) I my computer or the wbfs program cannot find my drive. The drive letter doesn't show. Is there a solution to this problem?
this video sucks u didnt explain what u were doing well enough when you loaded you're external HD peple won't know what u were talking bout FAILLLLLLLLLLLL!
firt i ripped some of tthe isos off the disks of the games i have with imgburn... then i put them on my usb with wbfs manager but when i tried to load hem with uloader the screen blacks out... can u help me?¿?¿?
@Djayice25 go to My computer, then right click on the drive, select format, and approve. in a matter of minutes, the drive should be wiped free, and usable for windows things again.
hi samwhite2000.... Pardon my ignorance.. i bought a td HD with 800 games and movies... i soft modded the wii and it worked prefectly for a couple of weeks... until it fell on its side.. now when i try to load the games in the wii i get a msg that says "wbfs initial failed" is my hard drive useless or is my version of the gbx loader.. i was actually using the wiiflow.. i have absolutely no idea what isos or all that is and i have never met anyone that does.. thats why im here... pls help
@allialli im sorry it has taken a while to respond, but i havent gotten the time to get on as often anymore, but im pretty sure its the physical damage, or the data on your HD is corrupted do to physical properties, when a HD disc is bumped while playing or reading, the metal bar that reads the magnetized data on it gets in contact with the metal disc, causing files to become corrrupted on that sector of the disc. you might need to reformat if it says its corrupted.
@Borat35000vr you probably formatted it under windows format, when the pop up appears on your PC screen, didnt you? you shouldn't have done that, you are suppose to only format in WBFS format with the program. but if you didnt do this, then idk why the program is saying it isnt in WBFS format anymore.... otherwise try updating the program, or check if your PC is a 32-bit or 64-bit OS, and get the correct version.
@lumel666 the program only supports up to 500GB Hard Drives, you will have to partition the hardrive into two different 500GB halves. i reccomend using one half for the wii and one half for your needs, since i only have a 500GB one, and its only about 40% full with over 100 wii games on it.... you will never need 1TB for a wii...lol
@alejobradley idk, it depends what you mean, if u mean a DVD wii disc that is bought from the store (the REAL ones), then most likely no, since only a few disc drives are able to read those. if you mean a DVD-R disc that has wii game info on it, most likely no, since they are basically read only, and you cant really alter them. it also depends on your dvd drive... if the disc is a RW, then i suppose you can rip the info from that and into you CPU and into the USB...
i have a problem: when i put a game that has size over 3 gb on sd card and when i restart my wii (i have a wiikey fusion), my wii starts and just freezes. games that are smaller then 3 gb work fine! plz help me
@1504luka im afraid you are one of the few i can't help, as you can see i respond to those who need help, but i lack knowledge when it comes to wiikey.... so im sorry i cant help u.
I have Windows 7 and a 16GB USB Drive and I can't add anything over 3GB, I can add stuff like WiiPlay but I can't add anything over 3GB or it will freeze, especially SSBB.
@WingedEllmo i've never used this program on XP, but try right clicking and looking at properties, if there are compatibility tabs then try using anything that u may find there, if that doesnt work come back to me...
@ignap0 yea partitioning is safe, if not it wouldnt be available or endorsed really... and for it to work properly i recommend defragging ur usb hard drive. but remember its best when its empty. what dissadvantages? well there's no dissadvantages, but let me clarify partitioning, it splits the hard disk into sections, in this situation u'd proabably need 2, so u indicate how much u want to make the second partition and it will take that amount of GB indicated away from the main partition.
@scott1506 i've had ppl say it works on SD cards b4, but i've never try it myself, it never hurts to try, just copy and paste all your SD card data to a folder on your computer first then try formatting it to WBFS... then if it doesnt work format it back to windows format on My Computer...
Can you help me? When i double click the iso or rar file in browse, it says errror while transferring, make sure the space in the temporary folder is at least 4.13 gb...
@starforcenetwork you probably have to much temp crap all over your computer download CCleaner and run it to your settings, tell me if this worked. CCleaner deletes any caches, temp, and unnecessary files from your computer.
When I click 'load' appears the following message: "Error ocurred while loading drive. Make sure the drive is not in use or open and that is has been formatted to WBFS format."
Can you help me PLEASE ? I simply CAN NOT use this program.. I'm begging for help.
@PossessWithin did you do as the tutorials told you to? you must format the drive, and make sure no other process or program is using it, for instance dont have any other windows of any sort open if you've done the previous. you must format under WBFS format in order to use the program for your External USB drive.
@PossessWithin im not sure what it is though, could you give me a list of your processes while your trying to do this? and yes, it might be your microsoft framework too...
@xdwonder the default size for Wii games from an iso file are 4.37 GB, but however, there are these "Scrubbed" wii files, which means they are lowered down to contain what the game uses, and has no updates and filling space... I get my scrubbed wii files from The Pirate Bay
@Deliathin its a remix of His World, made by a fan, i have the file with me in my computer i could upload it to filefront so u can download it, just tell me when...
This is the only good tutorial I've found for this. Thank you very much. I have one question though. I tried to download the x86, but when I tried to run the setup.exe it said I have a 32-bit operating system, and that I should try downloading one for 32-bit. Maybe I've misunterstood, but isn't x86 for 32-bit?
@gthd21 In order to use your USb device with the computer itself again, you need to format it, which means you delete everything off of it when you go to my computer, and right click on the correct drive and click format. Format or quick format, it doesnt matter as long as you format it with windows explorer. then your computer can use it.
@phazonruler3000 just becuz u installed it doesnt mean there will be an icon like on mine, try going to start, all programs and scroll down to WBFS manager, and click on that and on the folder. If it isnt tehre, try re-installing, (or un-install then re-install), OR are you sure you installed the correct version (x86 means 32-bit operating systems and x64 means 64-bit operating systems) Windows 7 comes with both, and WBFS has both versions.
@leevanx360 Both do work, however iso files can be burned on discs as well, but rar cant. To make a rar an iso file, you need to extract the file and you should get an iso, also, if you get a torrent download of a game, but its seperated into like 20 different rar files, right click on the first .rar file and click extract, that should make a folder in the folder you are currently in, which in it, will have the .iso file.
@shadowdjdarklord12 Have you tried using a port that is USB 2.0 High Speed? Certain USB ports and certain USB cables can perform better than others, if your computer has more than 4, then you are probably using a lower speed port... try using a different port.
Hey i got a 16 gb usb, backed up and formated. Then i opened WBFS, chose the usb(when i looked at the computer, it was found as an removable disk, not hard drive) and loaded. Worked fine. Then i browsed Super Smash Bros. Brawl, but when i was about to "add to drive", it said the estimated size was ca. 6,93 GB! What did go wrong?
When I use wbfs manager, it won't load my hard drive unless I format it. I don't want to format it because I already have games in my hard drive. Any advice?
You installed it on windows huh? and you get an error message, please tell me what it says, and if you cant, then try un-installing it and installing the other version, because 2 versions of the program exist. one for 32 bit computers, and one for 64 bit.
hey sam i've downloaded wbfs manager and i'm trying to format my flash memory. but it says error occured while formatting. can you help me what to do?
flash memory? It has to be a USB flash drive or USB Hard Drive.... are you trying to plug ur wii via USB to ur computer? then you are doing it wrong.... You need a flash drive or USB hard drive.
...What are the steps 'how to' to be succesful in the following flow marked with '>'. Wii game .rar file dwnld form usenet with Grabit > convert .rar to ISO file > browse with WBFS mgr > load it to the USB HDD. In simpler words, 'I would like to find a tutorial on how to load a wii USB hdd with a game from usenet newzbin(NZB) files'.
Hi Sam, Jan here from Holland. I have not yet found a tutorial part on the following issue. Thats why I'm here to give it a try. You show the WBFS manager and click on browse, simply you click a ISO file and select it to the right pane of WBFS. It looks so simple. O.k. my turn. From usenet I download the file with Grabit. Eventually its there in the folder but the file is a .rar file of a Wii game. to be continued in next reaction......

@nidoyam if it comes in fifty parts, it isnt a iso file, so wat u gotta do is get winRAR and then after installing winRAR right click on the 1st of the 30 or 50 or so files, and click extract which will make a folder that will create 1 (ONE) iso file in it, that file is the one to place on ur HDD.

@allialli im sorry it has taken a while to respond, but i havent gotten the time to get on as often anymore, but im pretty sure its the physical damage, or the data on your HD is corrupted do to physical properties, when a HD disc is bumped while playing or reading, the metal bar that reads the magnetized data on it gets in contact with the metal disc, causing files to become corrrupted on that sector of the disc. you might need to reformat if it says its corrupted.

I formated my drive while i had games on it and now when i i try to use it again it say Not in WBFS Format do you think you can help?
Borat35000vr 1 year ago
@Borat35000vr you probably formatted it under windows format, when the pop up appears on your PC screen, didnt you? you shouldn't have done that, you are suppose to only format in WBFS format with the program. but if you didnt do this, then idk why the program is saying it isnt in WBFS format anymore.... otherwise try updating the program, or check if your PC is a 32-bit or 64-bit OS, and get the correct version.

lumel666 1 year ago
@lumel666 the program only supports up to 500GB Hard Drives, you will have to partition the hardrive into two different 500GB halves. i reccomend using one half for the wii and one half for your needs, since i only have a 500GB one, and its only about 40% full with over 100 wii games on it.... you will never need 1TB for a wii...lol

Do you know how to copy a game from a dvd into a usb flash drive and be able to play it??
alejobradley 1 year ago
@alejobradley idk, it depends what you mean, if u mean a DVD wii disc that is bought from the store (the REAL ones), then most likely no, since only a few disc drives are able to read those. if you mean a DVD-R disc that has wii game info on it, most likely no, since they are basically read only, and you cant really alter them. it also depends on your dvd drive... if the disc is a RW, then i suppose you can rip the info from that and into you CPU and into the USB...
SamWhite2000 1 year ago
@alejobradley yes you can copy them use usb loader. then wbfs manager to get the file then convert to iso. Good luck.

@ignap0 yea partitioning is safe, if not it wouldnt be available or endorsed really... and for it to work properly i recommend defragging ur usb hard drive. but remember its best when its empty. what dissadvantages? well there's no dissadvantages, but let me clarify partitioning, it splits the hard disk into sections, in this situation u'd proabably need 2, so u indicate how much u want to make the second partition and it will take that amount of GB indicated away from the main partition.

PossessWithin 1 year ago
@PossessWithin did you do as the tutorials told you to? you must format the drive, and make sure no other process or program is using it, for instance dont have any other windows of any sort open if you've done the previous. you must format under WBFS format in order to use the program for your External USB drive.

Maybe I've misunterstood, but isn't x86 for 32-bit?

@gthd21 In order to use your USb device with the computer itself again, you need to format it, which means you delete everything off of it when you go to my computer, and right click on the correct drive and click format. Format or quick format, it doesnt matter as long as you format it with windows explorer. then your computer can use it.

phazonruler3000 1 year ago
@phazonruler3000 just becuz u installed it doesnt mean there will be an icon like on mine, try going to start, all programs and scroll down to WBFS manager, and click on that and on the folder. If it isnt tehre, try re-installing, (or un-install then re-install), OR are you sure you installed the correct version (x86 means 32-bit operating systems and x64 means 64-bit operating systems) Windows 7 comes with both, and WBFS has both versions.

leevanx360 1 year ago
@leevanx360 Both do work, however iso files can be burned on discs as well, but rar cant. To make a rar an iso file, you need to extract the file and you should get an iso, also, if you get a torrent download of a game, but its seperated into like 20 different rar files, right click on the first .rar file and click extract, that should make a folder in the folder you are currently in, which in it, will have the .iso file.

Hi Sam, Jan here from Holland. I have not yet found a tutorial part on the following issue. Thats why I'm here to give it a try. You show the WBFS manager and click on browse, simply you click a ISO file and select it to the right pane of WBFS. It looks so simple. O.k. my turn. From usenet I download the file with Grabit. Eventually its there in the folder but the file is a .rar file of a Wii game. to be continued in next reaction......
