You will need the following:
- A hacked wii (refer to this thread here.)

A usb device that is compatible with the Wii (I recommend Western Digital because that's what i use :smile: but any will do fine.)

- [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] or some other usb loader for wii

- [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] (This is used to tranfer games on to your hard drive.)

-A Wii game in either Iso or Wbfs format.(If the .iso file is 4 gigs or more it might not transfer if your hard drive is formatted in FAT so just stick with .wbfs files because those are usually smaller in size.)

-Pimp My Wii (Refer to the how to thread mentioned above. This is just to keep your wii up to date for full compatibility when running new games.)

Okay let's get started by downloading and setting up everything i have mentioned above. When you are ready just continue.

Using Wii Backup Manager and setting up your drive
Usually when you wanted to run usb games off a hard drive, you had to format into what is called a "WBFS" format:FU:. This is no longer the case because now Wii Backup Manger now simulates the drive if you have a folder named "wbfs" on the root of your hard drive so let's get on with it!

First, go on the root of your hard drive and make a new folder called "WBFS" and your done setting up your drive! That was easy...

USING WII BACK UP MANAGER

his is basically what you will see so go ahead and click the "Drive 1" tab:

Select your drive from the drop down menu:
[spoiler] [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] [/spoiler]

Now go to "Files" and select "Add Files" and find your Wii Game:
[spoiler] [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] [/spoiler]

After all that, just hit transfer and select your drive and you are done! Well...not quite yet.


Hooking up your usb device to your Wii and Setting up the usb loader

There is something very important you must remember when hooking up your drive to the wii...ALWAYS CONNECT TO THE PORT CLOSEST TO THE EDGE ! If you don't, you won't be able to play any games. Now on to the usb loader...

Setting up the Usb Loader

It is pretty much the same as using a backup manager like Neogamma. It actually requires no set up or any tweaking unless you want run different region games or use cheats but I'm pretty sure the same rules apply
