<p>This guide introduces Wii backup loaders. They can be primarily used to load game backups on an SD or USB that were dumped from a retail game disc. Depending on the loader, there may also be extensions to allow it to function as a frontend for non-Wii games as well. The two most commonly used loaders are USB Loader GX and WiiFlow Lite (a regularly updated mod of the original WiiFlow) - one loader may work better for you than the other, so it’s worth trying both out.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p class="notice--warning">In order for Wii loader to function properly, you must have the latest cIOS installed. Please check <a href="cios">this</a> guide for instructions if you are on Wii, and <a href="cios-mini">this</a> guide if you are on Wii mini.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p class="notice--info">To play games, you are advised to use a large SD card or an external hard drive, flash drives are not recommended and very sporadic in functionality. See <a href="faq">storage FAQ</a>.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p class="notice--info">The official Wii menu forwarder installer for Wiiflow Lite can be found on the <a href="https://oscwii.org/library/app/wiiflow_channel_installer">Open Shop Channel</a>. Run the app in the Homebrew Channel to install the forwarder. The USB Loader GX official forwarder can be found on the <a href="https://github.com/wiidev/usbloadergx/raw/updates/USBLoaderGX_forwarder%5BUNEO%5D_Wii.wad">GitHub</a> page. You can install it with <a href="yawmme">YAWM ModMii Edition</a>.</p>

<h5 id="general">General</h5>
|

|

<ul>
|
||
<li>WiiFlow by default is set to only find games on the SD card. This can be changed by going to <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">Settings > Startup Settings</code> to then turn off <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">Mount SD Only</code>.</li>
|
||
<li>You can toggle the current view in Wiiflow between plugins, games, homebrew, and Wii channels by clicking the button to the left of <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">Home</code>, on the bottom right.</li>

<h5 id="user-interface">User Interface</h5>
|
||
|
||
<p>When WiiFlow detects games, they are displayed in flow view.<br />
|
||
When you click on a game, you are given these options:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Star - Adds game to favorites.</li>
|
||
<li>Bookshelf - Adds the game to 1 of 6 categories of your choosing.</li>
|
||
<li>Gears - Opens the settings menu for that game - these settings are unique to that game and that game only.</li>
|
||
<li>X - Deletes the game from the USB drive or SD card.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
<p>When you bring the cursor to the bottom of the screen while in flow view, there are 6 icons:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Bookshelf - View the games that are sorted in the categories you chose.</li>
|
||
<li>Star - View games you favorited.</li>
|
||
<li>Gears - Opens WiiFlow Settings.</li>

||
<ul>
|
||
<li>If USB Loader GX says “Waiting for HDD…” with a 20 second countdown, it is very likely that it cannot detect your USB device. Try to exit out of the app, ensure your USB device is plugged into the bottom port if Wii is placed horizontally, or the port closest to the edge when the Wii is placed vertically. It may also be formatted incorrectly. Ensure that your USB drive is formatted to FAT32, with the MBR partition table, and 32kb (32768 bytes) allocation unit size/cluster size.</li>
|
||
<li>You can press the 1 Button on your Wii Remote to open up a dialog to download game covers and artwork from <a href="https://gametdb.com/">GameTDB</a>. It might take a while to download the game covers and artwork, depending the amount of games you have.</li>
|
||
<li>GameCube or “custom” Wii games may or may not have a custom banner that USB Loader GX uses. To enable this, find or write <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">CustomBannersURL = http://banner.rc24.xyz/</code> in <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">config/GXGlobal.cfg</code> on the drive you installed the app on. Then, you can use the <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">Custom Banner</code> download by pressing the 1 Button on your Wii Remote.</li>

<h3 id="troubleshooting">Troubleshooting</h3>
|
||
|
||
<p>Some games require using a specific cIOS to function, or to utilize certain features within the game.
|
||
Examples include:</p>
|
||
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Using a keyboard in Animal Crossing: City Folk.</li>
|
||
<li>Running SpongeBob’s Boating Bash.</li>
|
||
<li>Using a USB dongle in Rock Band.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
<p>A more comprehensive (although still incomplete) list can be found <a href="https://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/Wii_cIOS_base_Compatibility_List">here</a>.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Both USB Loader GX and Wiiflow Lite are programmed to automatically find the best cIOS to use and load the game with it using the default settings. However, if for whatever reason these loaders pick the wrong cios to use, you have the option to change it yourself.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>To change the cIOS used for a specific game, follow the instructions specific to your USB loader:</p>
