Wii USB HD Loader

[Yumraaj]

Thanks yumraaj, pleased to say I've now got this working, I had a spare sata drive, stuck it in an enclosure and it works superbly, a grand job

I am glad you got it working mate and thanks for thanking me but please thank the guy who actually created this thread as well because even though I have help you but without the person who uploaded it, no one would have been able to enjoy this beautiful piece of software. Thanks again

You need to go to the very first post and download the Wii USB HD Loader Channel and install it using wad manager.

You as well mate, you need to go to the very first post and download the Wii USB HD Loader Channel and install it using wad manager. Please in mind that this is only a forwarder, you still need the usb loader on your SD card. Basically it is just a shortcut, rather than keep opening homebrew channel all the time and then load it from there. Hope this help.

Hi mate. Let me explain something to you.
There are 3 ways you can format a HDD:
1: NTFS
2: FAT
3: WBFS (Wii Backup File System)

Now for the interesting part, If this is the only HDD you have, you need to partition first. Leave 1 partition as NTFS so you can leave all your windows files etc... and create a second partition & format it as FAT32. After you have format it as FAT32, now you have to format it as WBFS using WBFS Manager otherwise your wii will not recognised the HDD.

You need to download this file and install it:
WBFS Manager - Release: WBFS Manager 3.0


Wiindows might not let you format it as FAT32 depending on the size, So you will also need this little application.
Fat32Formatter

Hope this help. If not come back and we'll explain more.

Hiya all , Real Noob here , Hope you dont mind me picking your brains , does the wii need the twilight hack applied first to use this? or will the files on the sd card sort it?

Thx in advance

No the file SD card will not be able to install Homebrew channel. You need a way to install Homebrew channel first.
Try this link:

After you have managed to install it then you have to go to the very first page of this thread and follow the instruction to the letters!!!

Hope this help. If not come back for more.

You dont really need to update your wii mate to use the benefit of usbloader.

you need to wait a bit mate, let the server update itself first. you will be able to download soon. I know you cant wait but trust me it will work.
