    Hi guys, I installed homebrew channel on my wii and wanted to play games from usb drive and cannot make it work:(

    I have installed USB loader GX on SD card and have one wbfs game on usb stick. It shows on loader but as soon as I click on it, it goes to first screen saying to press A button and after that it goes back to homebrew channel.
    What am I doing wrong?

    I think I know what you're trying to do, and if it's what I think it is, pretty sure that it is against the forum rules. Granted, you can use the homebrew channel to do many things, "playing games from a usb" is a very slippery slope. Don't want to come off as a jerk, just trying to follow the rules.

    TL,DR - I think you're asking on the wrong forum.

    No, I want to know how can make a copy of a game to play from usb stick or hdd, cause my daughter doesn't really care about dvds and after couple of gaming sessions with her friends discs are all sticky and unreadable.
    That is why I want to know how can I save games on hdd. I heard you can use homebrew channel for this. Just bought her just dance 2015 for christmas and dont want this dvd to be wrecked in a month...
    Bought usb hdd formatted it to wbfs and made an iso from a disc but it doesnt work so far:(

    Any help?

    Yep. So kids wouldn't kill discs so quickly. Plus it's sounds a lot better to have all the games on hdd, without juggling discs. Like other consoles have.
