Anyone used this yet? Seems to be out on a few sites. I think cios rev 9 needs to be installed. Just curious as I would like to move some games over to a hard drive.
I'm on 3.4U and have the USB Loader v1.1 running. I've got 17 games loaded so far in a 160G Western Digital portable hard drive. This is really sweet. Highly recommend it.

Would be nice. How does mario galaxy work? Seem to run better, do you get the 6x with this?
I played Galaxy, SupserSmash Bros Brawl, Mario Kart and a few others and they all work fine. It's definitely faster than 6x; this is USB2. One of the nice surprises is that the games do not all take up 4.7G (a standard single layer DVD). Some simple games, such as WiiPlay takes up a fraction of a Gig. So you can store more games on your hd. Down side: The file system is "wbfs", not the typical "ntfs", "fat32", "ext3", etc...

why is this a downside when you can use the wbfs tool? Does it see the whole entire hard drive?
It's not any OS's "native" file system. So you just cannot plug into a computer (Windows, MAC, Linux) and have the benefits of using that OS's built-in tools. Instead, you have to use an other application "wbfs", "wbfs-win", and other wrappers to copy and delete files. To me, it's not that big of a deal; others have expressed stronger dislikes.

LOL. I love how people complain about something that is free. Cool, I'm going to try and test it out this week.
