I tried to be as detailed as possible and cover as many angles as I could, but I’m bound to have missed a thing or two. It seems some Homebrew stuff has issues with the memory cards in place when you’re trying to install. If you have any issues with the above steps, please be sure that you remove any and all GameCube memory cards.

It’s only 40mb to download 450+ covers, so you might want to do it anyway just in case. If you downloaded one that doesn’t you can find them here. Some of the USB Loaders will automatically download game covers, and others don’t.

You’re now ready to play your backed up games! Just select your game, and press “A” to begin.

Repeat last step for each and every game you want to install.

This may take some time depending on the size of the game.

Insert any game disc, and press “+” to install it.

Launch the homebrew channel and your recently installed USB Loader.

The following steps may differ depending on which USB loader you installed (I’m using Configurable USB Loader).

If you decided to use GParted, simply partition the hard drive and format the partition you want to use as “FAT32″ and continue on to Step 4.

Otherwise you can use the whole hard drive.

If you want to partition your hard drive, you may want to try and download a partition manager like GParted.

If you want to use NTFS you will need to check with your USB Loader to ensure that it supports that format as a feature. Most loaders now support FAT32, but there are others that support NTFS as well. You may want to partition your hard drive if you want to separate your Wii files from anything else you may have on there.

Follow any included instructions, otherwise you may only need to copy the extracted folder into your /apps directory on your SD card.

Personally I use Configurable USB Loader, but you may want to pick a different loader that has other features you may like. There are a couple of different USB Loaders available. Doing so will allow you to recover should anything go wrong, otherwise you are continuing at your own risk!

Please note that this step may brick your Wii! I highly recommend you go ahead and install BootMii in boot2 and back up your NAND before attempting this portion. Try that and attempt to install cIOS38 again. If this doesn’t work and the installation fails, you need to download the Trucha Bug Restorer for your system.Create a folder named “cIOS38_rev14″ under the /apps directory on your SD card and copy the extracted “boot.dol” file to that folder.Extract and rename “cIOS38_rev14-Installer” to “boot.dol”.Download cIOS38_rev14 (you can find it here).Step 1 – Install cIOS38 (if already installed, skip to Step 2) Homebrew Channel already installed (See Twilight Hack if you have system 3.4 or less, Bannerbomb if you have 4.0-4.2, or LetterBomb if you have 4.3).So please use it wisely and don’t abuse the system.

Homebrew is there to help enhance the functionality of the system, not for free games. It’s wrong and it cheats developers out of money they deserve. The only thing I ask is that you don’t follow these methods to pirate games. I needed to keep a log of all the steps I had to take in order to get this functionality working, so I figured I might as well be helpful and provide a list of the steps needed to do so.

Additionally, having the games loaded from a USB hard drive decreases the time it takes to load games. There’s several advantages to this I don’t have to worry about changing DVDs anytime I want to play a game, in addition to not having to carry them around. I’ve been running Homebrew on my Wii for quite some time, which also gives me the ability to play backed up games from a USB hard drive.
