This is a quick start guide on how to use WiiFlow Lite, a USB loader for the Wii that's used to play games from a USB drive or SD Card.

לפני שאת/ה מתחיל/ה, הצטייד/י בכלים הבאים

• A Wii
• A USB drive
• WiiFlow Lite

Make sure you have installed cIOS before following this! {: .notice--info}

We recommend you copy games over with Wii Backup Manager if you use Windows, or Witgui if you use macOS. {: .notice--info}

To play multiple games, we recommend a USB-powered external hard drive for your Wii. We will refer to it as a "USB drive" in this guide. Most of the ones you can find on the market should work fine if they have USB 2 backwards compatibility. Drives with 1 TB or more in capacity will work. A flash drive and SD Card will also work, but due to the size of a flash drive and SD Card, it won't be able to store as many games. {: .notice--info}

Unlike USB Loader GX, WiiFlow Lite can load games of an SD Card. {: .notice--info}

Make sure your USB drive and/or SD Card is formatted as FAT32 or NTFS. Do not format it as other types such as exFAT, extFS, or WBFS, the latter is an old format of storing Wii games. {: .notice--info}
