As for my SD, well I have to remove it and plug it into PC every time I want to add more homebrew / games older than Wii. Literally, have not had to remove this USB from my Wii for several years, all I do is dump games to it & play them. and yes, you CAN use GX to rip Wii games to USB & also for ripping GC games to SD.

There is also the fact that you might find yourself removing the USB stick much less than you remove the SD card, plus the USB is more convenient to remove and most of your homebrew/loaders is going to be on the SD card which will need to be in the Wii at all times for them to work. So again, your best bet is to use USB Loader GX with a USB thumb drive for Wii games and use an SD card for GameCube, GBA, SNES and any other older/retro games from before the Wii came out.Īlso, many of the backup loaders (Nintendont, Snes9xGx, VBAGX, etc.) can read from both USB and SD but it would still be good idea to keep games from consoles "older than Wii" on your SD because you can just dump the games into your SD and leave it in the Wii until you want to add something more I use an SD card for everything else (GameCube, SNES, NES, GBA, etc.) and I'm not saying that WiiFlow couldn't read 8GB-20GB Wii games from SD, but there is probably less compatibility. and even though I don't think Wii can completely use a USB 3.0 to it's maximum, it would be best to use a 3.0 for Wii Games. It is IDEAL to use a USB with "USB Loader GX", which I'm pretty sure is why this backup loader was given that name. But like pinky is trying to say, not all backup loaders are programmed to work with all types of storage. Any game will run fine whether it is on a card, stick, or harddrive. (and it works the actual gameplay compatibility for SD CARD vs. and that's not to be guaranteed that it will fix recognition issues but the 128GB thumb drive that I use is a 3.0 by PNY. Also, I'm not sure how you are going about it but a USB device will not be recognized so easily unless you have formatted it to "wbfs" using Wii Backup Manager.

I have external hard drives that I use with PS3 but I have never bought one to use with my Wii. Basically it means don't launch your GameCube games with USB Loader GX.Ĭlick to expand. and I was trying to say that GX is more for Wii games and might give issues with GC games so it is best to play GameCube games with Nintendont only and Wii games in GX only. LMAOĮDIT: it is best to keep all Wii games on a USB in the back slot and keep all GC games on the SD Card in the front slot. So before you assume that I answered your question wrong maybe you should think that you simply cannot interpret what I meant, sorry that it is too complex that you misinterpret "flash drive" for HDD when a flash drive is a thumb drive or a dongle or a cruzer or whatever other nickname you've heard for flash drive but with HDD they just call it HDD or hard driveĪGAIN, MY ANSWER WAS REFERRING TO USB THUMB DRIVES AND SD CARDS. If not then have fun with your cheap 32GB sticks that you will end up buying 40 of them if you have a collection of more than a hundred games Click to expand.You seem to have misunderstood my answer anywaysīy 128GB flash drive I MEANT thumb drive, lmao.įailure rate is not that bad even for flash drives or hard drives that go up to 1TB or more.Įmulating games from a small USB could be more problematic than emulating from an HDDīut still an overpacked HDD can give issues tooĪnd a 128GB thumb drive is only $25 while a 200GB SD card might run for $35
