I've found a thread on this subforum but it didn't really help.

So basically, this is what happened.

I got some ISOs, formatted my flash drive to WBFS, added some ISOs, the regular stuff. I put my USB Flash Drive into my Wii, and loaded USB Loader GX, but my games don't show up on the list. Is there an easy fix for this?

Format HDD to fat32 using guiformat then use pc app called Wii Backup Manager to put games on

three wrong thing in one sentense :P
flash drives are known to have issues on Wii and WiiU. it could work, but a lot of devices have compatibility issues. sometime it's not recognized, sometime it can't launch games or can't write data (save, settings, dumping games etc.)

WBFS partition format is old and deprecated.
Like said above, what's regular is to use FAT32 and Wii Backup Manager to put games on your device.

could be different things.
First, did you install a cIOS ? which one? which slot?
You need d2x v8 (or v10 r52 if you are on WiiU), with base57 in slot249.

second, did you enable "Wii games" in the 4th icon of the top menu ? if you have issues detecting the USB, that option is disabled automatically (one day, I'll prevent that! people don't seems to know that they need to choose wii games to list wii games)
