The way to do this is different per loader, but usually there is an option in the menu, or a button to press, such as + There are multiple ways to install games to the USB drive.įirstly, all loaders can rip games directly. Wii games vary from a few hundred MB to over 7GB. Just note that SD cards are quite limited in space. Yes, all loaders support loading from SD. Note that the Wii is capable of USB2.0 only and will read at USB2.0 speeds. Note, however, that USB3.0 drives require more power and thus may need an external power supply, or the use of a Y-Cable. In rare cases, your drive may be simply incompatible. Try partitioning the drive in smaller chunks. You may also need to format the drive to a supported format (FAT32, NTFS).
