usb loader gx, wii flow, and neogamma problems, plz help!

I wanted to back up all of my discs so that my kids dont keep scratching them beyond playability, so i soft modded my wii v4.3u with letterbomb, installed homebrew channel and everything else. i have installed the 3 apps mentioned in the title but cannot get them to work. let me clarify a little, they do work, only the only work with ISOs that i download and put on my 16gb usb. but when i rip the original disc onto my usb using any of the loaders and then try to play them with any of the loaders, they dont load anything and i end up having to to a hard reset on the console. i must be missing a step in the ripping process, need to change a setting or something. anyway, can anyone plz help me get these games backed up and playing on my console without the discs. thanks in advance

Sounds like cIOS problem, follw this guide... CLICK ME.... and this will ensure you Wii has the latest of everything installed, so that playing backups will work.

It will not install any IOS or cIOS on your SD card, this will install them direct in your system, leaving your SD card to be filled with apps!!

I personally think USBLOADER GX is the best out of all the forwarders, and I beleive it has the easiet UI to use.

Please, stop helping users that break the site rules. This user clearly admits to committing piracy.

I am not commiting piracy, the games I downloaded I already own. I was trying a different approach since ripping the game did not work. Unfortunately not every game I own is available for download. I am actually anti-piracy, just trying to protect my investments.

Did you convert the ISo to WBFS?
How did you load it onto the USB device?
What did you format the usb device too?
Are you even sure the device is compatible?
How did you soft mod your Wii? from what guide?

Its really hard to believe that NONE of your games will rip properly....

which ISO are you referring to? the downloaded ISO?, I used wbfs manager 2.5 to load ISO onto the formatted 16gb USB (formatted with wbfs manager), checked with the compatibility wizard and it is on the compatible list. i softmodded with letterbomb from a video i found on youtube by user "dutsonentertainment" and then after all that i found the wiihacks website and am looking for advice. sorry, i am very new to all of this i have over $1000 dollars invested in games and am tired of paying for replacement discs. i want to keep the discs safe and back them up onto an external hard drive but am waiting till i get it figured out before ripping all of my games. please help, thanks


do i risk harm to my wii if i try to re-softmod. if not what guide should i use?

First.... dont double post.. you have an edit button...

and you should try to remod.. use the any wii guide in my signature.

sorry about the double posts and threads, i appreciate your help. what would you consider is a fair site donation to show my appreciation.

:047: anything helps. its up to you. We appreciate any bit you donate.
