Configure PriiLoader

Guide

Using Priiloader

  • Press and maintain reset button while turning on the Wii to reach the Priiloader menu

Creating WBFS Partition on External Drive

  • Connect USB drive to PC
  • Install Wiithon (http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/wiithon)
    • On Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin 64-bit, install wiithon_1.26-507_amd64.deb manually
  • Create a FAT32 partition on external drive (say 200GB, in general count 2.5GB / game ISO)
  • Mount that partition
  • Launch Wiithon
    • You might need to add yourself to disk group: sudo gpasswd -a $USER disk !!! BETTER remove yourself afterwards !!!
  • Go to parameters, tools & utilities, select Format WBFS

Backup Games

  • Games DVD can be backup on the Wii itself, using the USB Loader GX.
  • Simply start the USB Loader GX, and insert the game DVD.
  • Loader will detect the disc, and ask whether to install it (aka create a backup copy on the USB drive), or start it.

Maybe it is also possible to backup games DVD via PC (using wiithon or wbfs backup maanager, but no idea how)
