![]() The one I’m using here is a Windows only app but you can find links to Mac and Linux versions on the Wii Hack Guide page. This application helps us correctly format our game files so that the loader can identify and run the games correctly. ![]() Next we need to download Wii Backup Manager from. Once we’ve got all the software assembled we’ll install it onto our Wii SD Card in one go. Once there simply scroll down and download the zip file to your PC. To get hold of the application you just need to browse to. To install USBLoaderGX we need to download a few pieces of software and setup a USB drive. Again please look at the previous video to find out how to do all of this. To make your USB drive compatible with the Wii it must be formatted as an FAT32 drive and I recommend a 16KB cluster size. I’d recommend an SSD drive with a USB adapter as you’re going to end up with a lot of big game files. This can be a USB thumb drive or a USB enabled hard drive. You’ll also need a USB drive for your game and data files. To start with you’ll need to have installed Homebrew onto your Wii and installed cIOS 248-251 as per my basic Wii Homebrew installation video. The loader we’ll be looking at is USBLoaderGX. We store these files on a USB drive attached to the Wii so these applications tend to be known as USB Loaders. The idea here is that we take a game disk image file, either one that we’ve created ourselves, or one that we’ve obtained elsewhere, and get the Wii console to load it as if we’d put the real game disk into the console. That’s what I’ll be showing you how to do in this tutorial. But probably the most common use of softmodding to allow you to play Wii and GameCube games from backup files stored on a USB drive. Homebrew allows you to install a range of third party applications that can turn the Wii into a powerful retro gaming console You can install a wide range of applications including a full set of emulators for almost all the pre-Wii machines and computers. ![]() If you haven’t hacked your Wii already please make sure you have a look at my Homebrew installation video. The Wii is a great gaming platform, especially once you have softmodded it and installed the Homebrew Channel.
