Tried this in June 2024 and works a charm! Thank you for the detailed tutorial, much much appreciated sir!
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
late April 2024 and it works for me! I tried following other guides but they were very confusing, this one seriously helped
@trintozedger man help us out, where to get them games ?

I had a butt load of disc games a few years ago, I lend them to a friend and he gave them to his aunt who had a wii, I asked for them back but he said they sold them to whomever, It was very devastating but it doesn't matter at this point for me because I have just went through step by step with this amazing video and let me say, you're a life savior. I wouldn't have trusted any other video then this one. everything worked great, smooth, got my games back, cover and gosh I can't express how thankful I am for this video!!
how do you actually get the games? please help me
@@TESHY5damn we really on the same boat
Really shitty friend. Hope they're not in your life now.
Dude, Thank you SO MUCH!!! Im gonna enjoy this alot when i get a Wii in a week or so!
Watched even though your previous tutorials got me setup with Homebrewing and enjoying my Wii a couple months ago. I've been adding many games to my library and it's a labor of love but so satisfying to scroll through and being able to try new-to-me games while revisiting my childhood favorites is awesome. Thank you, Scott!! Have an awesome weekend! 🎮
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!
I just finished modding my Wii yesterday from your previous video. You have no clue how stoked I was to see you posted an updated one. Love your channel. Subbed right away!
Amazing to hear ❤️
@@funkyscott47 question where is the video for the game boy emulators
i followed this guide a few months ago and just needed a refresher on how to get the games again. still a really good video
march 2024 still works perfectly! just got a few games on my wii, thanks a lot man!!!
where do you get the games to put onto the usb ?
I just failed yesterday with 2 different sd cards and 1 usb stick 😅 still trying to troubleshoot
@@alexlikeswiiu google and the word archive are your friend
bro you need to change to mbr file structure if it isnt working. trust@mannylocz2363
have you figured out where to get the games from?@@alexlikeswiiu
I already set up my IOS following your Wii U Homebrew tutorial, but this is very helpful to those who want to not bother wasting money on old Wii classics!

@@funkyscott47 where did you get your pc wallpaper the naruto one
I want to thank youfor this informative tutorial and it has worked on my Wii! I tried to install USB Loader (non-GX) roughly 10 years ago but failed because whenever I tried to install things with the d2x installer and others but it has always failed. Couldn't find workarounds or solutions back then. Either way, it finally works. The necessary files to install were on my SD card, WBFS files were on my USB drive. Just a pro tip for others: you can use a cheap 512GB USB drive for your games :)
Bro when can i found wbfs files i find only nkit.iso and when i canvert them i failed
thanks bro, loved the tutorial and was easy to follow just saved me a trip to the techstore to get a USB I thought I had lost my money buying a 32 gigs sd card

Tried this in 2023 December
It totally works just follow each step as he did
Thank you so much
I was looking for this from an year 🎉🎉🎉
for some reason i've done everything and my games aint showing up
you maybe have a usb or sd card that dont work with the wii@@nugget8079
I done everything as per the video, and all worked fine. But when I went to add more games, using the same methods, they don't show up in USB loader gx, only the other games do. Very frustrating.
@@nugget8079 what’s the problem pls say if I can I will help
@@huskykangaroo maybe the other games aren’t in wbfs file Bur if they are pls say I will try to figure it out
Easy to follow guide, work perfectly
Back up all my CD game on the USB stick now will be easier to bring the wii at friends house.
Thank you so much ❤
I just did this last night, March 2024 and still worked on the first try👍🏻 thank you champ🎉 happy modding
I just failed yesterday trying it with 2 different sd cardsand 1 usb stick... still troubleshooting
This worked wonderfully for me though I had some issues, but I figured out how to fix them. Incase anybody is wondering I’m using a red edition wii with wii motion plus and it still worked out perfectly fine. At the part where you install usb loader gx I wrote in the wrong “codes” at first but I just wrote in the right after.
Anyways this is definitely worth the struggle because when you’re done you can fill a whole library of different games, for free!
Worked like a charm. Thank you so much for your help. Now I just need a few game recommendations to play
I tried this in 2024 and it works thanks so much man now thanks to you I can play my favorite Wii games.
I bought a second hand wii out of nostalgia and thanks to your guide is up and running! I noticed the themes website you mentioned is down, that's a bummer :/ You are awesome!
Thanks! Amazing walkthough. Got all my kiddo's games on a flash drive so they are nice and backed up, for when they inevitably scratch them. I picked one of the flash drives you recommended.
that is amazing to hear! Also very smart to protect your discs but not limit the fun for them :) Thank you so much for the tip as well, I'm glad you found my guide useful! Happy Gaming to you and your children :D

still works as of june 2024. this channel is by far one of the best i have come across for this. found my old wii and was wanting to mod it to give some new life to it, but got so lost with other tutorials. this was by far the easiest to follow along with.
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!
Thank you! Just got my Wii modded and running meow with games super stoked!!
where do i go to get these games?
Just wanted to comment this down here: About a couple weeks ago I followed this tutorial and it worked ...for a couple weeks. A problem I had overtime was my apps not loading in homebrew channel or outside of the homebrew channel. Thankfully just unplugging and plugging the USB back in and restarting works. Though one day the apps just, didn't appear no matter what I did. The USB being used seemed to be unformatted and I had to redo the entire process. I've done it about three times, everything works except for USB Loader GX just freezing at "Reinitializing Devices" on start-up resulting in me not being able to use it. I'll most likely edit this if I find out a solution
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
Hi.
I have used an SD card for all the installation apps, and I used a flashdrive for the games, but the games doesn't appear on the loader. Should the loader be able to read the games from the USB? If yes, what possibly could I have done wrong? Is there a system or path I need to adjust? Thanks much.
Has anyone fixed this yet? Having the same problem
This is fantastic! Thank you so much for this!!
Works like a charm. Thanks a lot! ❤
Excellent tutorial and very thorough. I'll probably tackle this project this week.. I've got one question however, is the process the same for adding GameCube and WiiWare games? Or are they not possible to add to USB Loader GX?
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
I just wanted to get usb loader gx and then this Tutorial came. Thanks Scott❤
But I have a question. Can I use Wii mod lite as a wad manager to?
Perfect timing! And yes that works as well :)
This worked like a charm! Thanks man!!
great tutorial! had it set up in like 20 minutes!
I was trying to figure out the softmodding and i found out that you made a new video 35 minutes ago dudeee thank you so much!!!
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...

Great guide! After lot of confusing and out of dated info found internet, I was able to simple insatall USB Loader GX: now works with my HDD. 26th May, 2024 - Thanks
I followed your guide perfectly but for some reason my games won't load? I can see the pictures and press play but then get a black screen my wii games are saved on a USB using wbfs format
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.
for some reason after following your wii mod setup i cannot get it to launch (it sees them) wii games off the usb drive. mind you that drive worked on the wii consoles i had modded prior to this new version of the mod (using d2x with beta1). gamecube games launch no issues. and if i play from an sd card it has no issues. just specifically wii games from usb
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.
Well, it worked. Thanks a lot bro. Now I will enjoy playing with my family.

Great video. I recently got a new laptop, which unfortunately runs Windows 11 and I can't figure out how to format my SD card to FAT32, as it only gives me the options for exFAT and NTFS. Do you know if exFAT will work in place of FAT32, or am I screwed? Either way, great video!

Hey Scott, I was doing great and everything was going smoothly, but for some reason, when I try to use the Wii Backup Manager, my files don't appear. I've tried using an SD and USB both, and even tried deleting and redownloading the Backup Manager, but still can't figure out where I went wrong. Great video, any response would be greatly appreciated.
Same problem :(
@@user-ek9it9od9l Let me know if you find any way to fix it!
I was able to get Backup Manager to work on one game. I checked to make sure it worked on the Wii, it did, went back to download and transfer other games to my SD card and I'm having the same issue. No games show up on my drives, except the one game that works. Just when I thought I had it figured out!
@@taliabaker3259 make sure the files for the game within the wbfs folder have been extracted. This can be achieved by left-clicking on the folder for the game and selecting Extract All. Hopefully this can help you out.
What if I can’t find d2x-v11-beta1 on my wii as an option for the cIOS settings?
I am having the same problem, not sure what to do. Tried using d2x-v6 instead but my wii is stuck on “downloading ios56 metadata” for slot 249
@@phoebejackson4083did you guys find a solution?
i have the same problem :(
Ensure that if you are using an SD card, the lock switch is in the unlocked position, otherwise you will not be able to select the correct options in the installer.
@@naku-- what if youre using an external hardrive instead of an sd card but have the same problem?
Liked and subscribed! Excellent tutorial
March 2024 here
This still works flawlessly, thank you so much.

I keep getting a black screen

Thanks a bunch, been adding and removing games from a small sd card, now going to use my larger usb and not have to keep messing around deleting games to add another 😂. Thanks.
Thank u so much man helped me alot
I already watched your video on how to mod a 3DS, now my Wii may be modded a tiny bit, but I am watching this one for some more items, i will always come to your videos whenever I want to mod something
I'm very happy you find my videos useful ♥️
This worked great, thank you
Works as of feb 2024 everything in the vid is up to date. I have never modded anything before and this worked for me so I recommend this guide for any new people🙏
i cant find the v11 beta on the cios installer, how did you do it :( ?
@@sticavoli169did you figure it out after ?
Ah thank you, finally got it to work properly!!
U are amazing. Thank u for showing everyone
SUCH a Great Tutorial!!
Hey FuckyScott47, your tutorials have been a huge help! I prefer your videos to any other guides available. I was wondering if there's any chance you could do a emuNAND tutorial demonstrating how to setup, install/play wiiware, and forward game saves to/from an SD card. I haven't found any other guides except text-based forums, which I find difficult to comprehend. All the best, and I hope you have a great new year!
Hi, was Ur Wii backup manager a zip file or a .7z cause mine is a 7z if u had the same issue how did u solve it?
Did it in may 2024 and it works. Thanks
i didnt get it to work??
amazing tyvm ! all worked
I just want to say thank you for this. It worked perfectly, followed every step exactly and got my games loaded. I never did this years ago because I felt it was too complicated haha. Thanks!
I tried today and its not picking up my usb even though its type 32
when i go to custom paths to change the 2D Cover path it just says “Error.” i’m using 2 usbs, one for games and the others for the mods. is there a fix to this?
Thank you for the guide!
No kidding, I'm French and I don't speak English very well, but the quality of the tutorial is great. And it works very well too. Thanks a lot !
YOU ARE GORGEOUS BRO TY
wow dude, great video. many thanks
Just tried this in april 2024, works like a charm !
I guess some wiis don't like
usb loader refused to work for me but wii flow worked fine
Hello, thank you for making an updated vid, it is greatly appreciated!!! I have a couple of questions if you don't mind. On past videos I have my wii setup with a nand. Can I just reset my wii back to factory so I can start all over? Also, this method with an external usb drive does not create a nand? Thanks so much, I may have more questions in the future about this., Thanks again!!!
this guy makes good tutorials
I need some help. Im having a problem when I load into usb loader gx. A screen pops up saying "Deleting files... tmd.4123" and theres a loading bar that stays at 0.00%. Theres also a "Cancel" button, but nothing happens when I press on it. When I first loaded into usb loader gx, it worked and it showed the games, but then I would click the buttons on screen with my wii remote and nothing happens.
Scott, you are a fricken Boss. I appreciate your top quality video. It is the best. Thank you Sir.
