Hi, i have a wbfs formatted usb external hard-drive that allows me to load to my wii. The problem i am having, is how do i save from my wii to my usb external hard-drive? I have tried usb loader, configure usb, gx loader?, neogamma, none of these give me that option. Am i missing something? I heard there is a way. Can someone point me in the right direction?

thx

are you trying to save directly onto the drive instead of the internal wii memory? you can't. the games are encoded to save on the wii memory.

(+[__]%) psp slim ta-085v1: 6.60 PRO B10
wii (powered by bootmii/priiloader): 4.1u - d2x v10beta53-alt (base 56) - configurable usb loader v70r51/devolution r188 - wd scorpio black 7200rpm 320gig w/ ams venus ds2 enclosure

got a whole lot more to list . . .

reformat the drive and create two partitions.

run diskmgmt.msc on your computer, and resize the whole drive. format both to FAT32, then format one in WBFS manager.

the wbfs has to be the bigger of the 2 cause that is where you are storing games it depends on your hard drive size i think i made mine like 10 gig out of 110 gig available and made the wbfs 100 gig

partition size does not matter. i've completely divided my scorpio black evenly. 150/150. configurable usb loader and HBC picks up the FAT32 with no problems.

hi, i will try that. one question, i was told that it is possible to read discs from the wii, and save them directly to your external hard-drive or SD card. Have i been mis-informed?

Thx
