A little introduction is always nice ;)

So that's not your problem, tell us more.

A bit more detail, please!
Which Wiiflow version?
Are you talking about an External hard drive or a USB key (what capacity is your key?)

wiiflow would tell you if the cios was missing and your key is detected otherwise you wouldn't have usb1 as a choice. Explain to us how you prepared your key.

once usb1 is selected, go back to the Wii menu and relaunch Wiiflow either with the permanent Wiiflow channel, or through the Homebrew channel, then wiiflow!
there Wiiflow should launch and reach the games menu.

I had the same issue as you one day
and I solved it like this

Change the USB Key's USB port

it's a dumb thing, but it worked for me

I'll give you a Technique:

Extract the Rar file
You'll get something like
JEU MARIO ET SONIC.iso

you open WBFS Manager
and you load the ISO file

sure with the rar you're going to struggle

(sorry for the double post)
I believe WBFS manager only handles WBFS partitions
and you partitioned in FAT32
so it's normal that it doesn't work

use WiiBackupManager instead

tutorial: tutoriels-wii/wiibackupmanager-t7281.html

and normally that's it

yes take wiibackupmanager!!

but if your key is only 2go it would be better to switch it to wbfs, because iso backups are bigger and bulkier than wbfs backups :bravo:

apparently your problem comes more from your key than from wiiflow!

did you check here to prepare your key?

tutoriels-wii/preparez-votre-disque-dur-t6460.html

if you have a key you need:

- an SD card to put your wiiflow .dol on
- your usb key in wbfs for your games

I think I can't manage to decompress the games to iso, I have them in wii and in rar and as soon as I decompress it it says it's empty.

what was your file's original format?

That said, keep in mind that some usb keys just like some usb drives are incompatible with usb loaders whatever they are because it's the cios that handles compatibility.

are you inviting him to dinner or explaining that it's borderline borderline a compressed game ( :62: ) Mr Co-Admin? :mrgreen:

warning mister moderator :D but nothing forbids talking about iso files or even about backups :bravo:

:D :93: note that a piece of a file doesn't make a game :mrgreen: :bienvenue: :93:

edit: and also there's no way to check what this file actually contains without decompressing it despite the file name which proves nothing.

Anyway just saying :)
