Hello afterdawners.im new to this wii scene but ive been doing great so far thanks to all the guides and i can thank yall so much.but i have come to a stop and its really a simple question? I'm using the usb loader to loads my wfbs wii games off a external hard drive,but i was wondering can i use that external hard drive to install other stuff too like snes roms or nes roms?like i have snes9x in my wii but when it looks for roms can i use the external hard drive or should i just leave the hard drive for the usb loader only?

If the drive is in FAT32 format then yes you can do that. Just put the homebrew programs and roms onto the USB drive exactly as you would with the SD and then remove the SD card.

The homebrew channel should automatically load from the USB if it cant find an SD card.

You can also view between SD and USB in HBC by selecting 1 on the Wiimote.

You will also need an Emulator that will let you select a USB device to run the ROMS.
