Hi here is what we have been all waiting for the USB HD Loader. The best thing since sliced bread. This will let you load all your backups from a USB HD so no more DVD's. This app is confirmed working.
Here is what you need to download
Digital Kaos - Downloads - USB HD Loader
Digital Kaos - Downloads - cIOS36_rev9-Installer
And for those that like the Channels in stead of loading via the homebrew channel
Digital Kaos - Downloads - Wii USB HD Loader Channel
Here is an update on this app as i'm sure there will be people unsure on how to set this app up.
--- INSTALLATION ---
01. Download the ZIP file,
02. Extract the ZIP file to the root of your SD card.
03. You should now have two new folders, in your "apps" folder ("cIOS rev9" and "USB Loader 1_0").
04. Launch the "cIOS Installer", from The Homebrew Channel.
05. When it asks you the type of installation you want to use, press Right, on the D-Pad, and select "Network Installation."
06. Watch carefully, to be sure everything installs successfully. If you encounter any errors, rerun the "cIOS Installer", until it installs correctly.
07. Reboot.
08. Plug in your chosen USB drive. If your drive has a power light, be sure that it is correctly powered on.
09. Reboot.
10. Launch the "USB Loader", from The Homebrew Channel.
11. If the USB Loader launches, and the black rectangular section contains no text, you will need to power cycle your Wii, using the console power button.
12. If you receive "ERROR: Could not initialize USB subsystem (ret = -1)", then your USB device is NOT supported!
13. If you receive a WARNING that no WBFS partitions are found, your drive IS supported!
14. Press the "A" button, to format a partition. (WARNING:: Formatting a partition will delete EVERYTHING from that partition. Be sure to backup any important data, BEFORE pressing "A".)
15. The next screen will allow you to choose the partition you wish to format. Select the partition, and press "A".
16. After formatting is complete, you will be presented with a games list (currently blank). The screen will also show the amount of used space, and the free space remaining (There is currently a small bug, in the free and used space listings. The correct size is not shown, but it still can be used.)
17. Insert a Wii game disc you wish to backup.
18. Press the "+" button, to backup the disc. (Depending on the game, a disc can take anywhere from 30 seconds to 45 minutes to backup. Example: Carnival Games only took 58 seconds!)
19. Once the backup process has completed, press any button, to return to the game selection screen.
20. Eject your game disc.
21. Select your game from the game list, and press "A".
22. Your game should load, and be fully playable, from the USB device!!
NOTE: Some games will backup successfully, however will still require the disc to be inserted during gameplay (This appears to be another bug).
