Playing WBFS off of your SD card on your Wii!

If you've softmodded or hardmodded your Wii, it is possible to play Wii games without having to burn an ISO or use an actual game. How do you do it? It's very simple. Once you have your Wii ready, with CFG USB Loader, follow these steps. (If you don't have your Wii hacked, go to my previous post on how to hack your Wii!) Look below the picture to continue. :D _________________________________________________________________________________1. Get your SD Card, if your Wii can read it already, and the Homebrew Channel can read the apps in it, create a folder at the root of the SD Card and name it "wbfs" without the quotes!

2. Download a game in WBFS format, or convert an ISO into a WBFS, put the file into that folder.

3. Insert your SD Card into your Wii.

4. Open CGF USB loader, wait for it to try and read a USB or HDD drive. Once it says it could not read, press the (A) button on your Wiimote, press left OR right, NOT AND, press (A) on your Wiimote one more time.

5. If you have done step 4 successfully you will now see a row of Wii cases, all of them will be repeated if you only have one game. Select the game you have, and BAM! You are now going to be able to play a WBFS from your SD Card. NOTE: You can also download the game case cover. Just select the game, look for options, then look for download cover, download it, and you are done with that. Easily Hacked!

    Do you have a tutorial on how to get CFG USB Loader? So does this mean I don't need a hard drive or a USB to play wii games?

    This was the exact same thing I used to do and am still doing. Awesome trick right? I have seen some people actually formatting Pen Drive's into a WBFS format. I simply create a wbfs folder and place my games in it. Well, I should say thanks cos now I am sure that what I am doing is right.

How to softmod (hack) your Wii!

The Nintendo Wii is a pretty nice console, that is, if you don't have any other consoles of this generation. If you are like many people out there, you probably want a lot more from your Wii, and sadly Nintendo will probably never listen to you! BUT, there's always a way for the little guy to get what he wants from the corporations! Follow this link for a tutorial on how to hack your Wii to be able to play backup Wii games (games that are burned on a DVD-R as ISO files or on a USB/SD card as WBFS files.) emulators, change themes, and DO A LOT MORE on your Wii! Now, if you choose to follow through, you can't blame me if something happens to your Wii. To make you happy, though, I can almost GUARANTEE that if you follow the guide thoroughly and patiently, nothing bad will happen to your Wii. Have fun! :D Click Here! to go to the link! OR, you can copy and paste it from below. :D http://www.hacksden.com/showthread.php/4113-Softmod-ANY-Wii

All you need to do is download the file (which will be provided in the link) extract it, and put it in the apps folder on the root of your SD card. Once that is done, simply open "The Homebrew Channel" look for "Homebrew Browser" select it, load, it and look around (and download anything you want!)! :D Have fun! Click right here for the download!                                        http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Homebrew_Browser The file will be under the "Links" section to the right of the webpage.
