howto: backup and boot games from a USB drive

Requirements:

  • Newest Homebrew Channel installed
  • This file pack (v1.1+IOS rev 9)
  • The original IOS36-64-v1042.wad file (GOOGLE!)

Preparation:

  1. Extract the usbloader.rar file into the root of your SD card.
  2. Stick the IOS36-64-v1042.wad file into the root of the SD card.
  3. Boot the Homebrew Channel, run the IOS installer
  4. Select "WAD Install", it should install automatically
  5. Reset Wii

Operation:

  1. Insert a USB drive into the Wii
  2. Boot the homebrew channel, select USB-LOADER

When a virgin USB drive is connected the USB loader will prompt you to format the drive and select a partition.This WILL erase everything on your USB drive, so be sure to back it up.

Your USB drive will be formatted to a file system type WBFS. WBFS is not readable under Microsoft Windows. You will be able to convert it back to FAT later.

  1. Choose your partition and continue.
  2. Insert the game disk (original or backup) into your Wii, and press the + button.
