@Rleeson85 The main pluses of this are so you don't need to waste loads of DVD-Rs, so you can have all your games right there for you to play, and they load much faster than on disc. Hard drives are very reliable - they break much less often than discs scratch.
Read the description/the links in the description It's a USB ISO loader for the Wii. You copy your Wii game ISOs onto a specially formatted USB external hard drive, and you use this loader to load your games from your HDD The video and the links do explain it quite thoroughly
If you mean like a regular USB hard disk then no, you either have to re-format it to FAT/NTFS or you could set up two partitions, one as WBFS and one as NTFS. You can however use WBFS Manager to copy games to and from your hard disk if you plug it in, it just won't load like a regular USB hard disk in Windows
so i still do not see how this is better then disk's? Yes I understand the new ghost busters is not properly working on disk but is with USB but still why spend $ on a 200 or 400 GB HDD? when you can have disk's if a game breaks thats only one to re download but is the HDD breaks thats allot of games to get over again! Well if anyone can convince me otherwise please do I really want to see some plus values to this other then having all the games on at once!
plus in-game loading time is much shorter. i played metroid prime 3 without any door lagg. u can't with the disk, in fact its longer than the original disk if its burned.
hello, i have an old ide hard drive (10gb) lying around, and i have a "ide to usb" adapter, and i was wondering if i could use the adapter to make the ide hard drive into a so called usb hard drive? and if so will the wii/usb loader recognize it?
no, u need a lot of knowledge on homebrew and wii hacking first, if u already know how to put homebrew channel on the wii, then u should be fine, if not, go research and hopefully u wont brick your wii. good luck.

also 1 more thing, would it load faster using this usb program? since technically we are using a SSD rather than a traditional hard drive OR disk.

One question about the USB loader, since you have to format the drive to WTBS, can you still use it with your computer?
That looks incredibly cool. My question: Is it easy to do for someone who hasn't a clue how to work most technological doo-hickeys.
Cool!
Yeah I want to know too.
