What's the safest way to to a nand backup ?
Backups are reading so there's no unsafe method. Just use BootMii.
What's the safest way to to a nand backup ?
Thanks for that - looks really useful - the Youtube Guide I followed was pretty much the same, but I'll probably reset my Wii and start again to clear out any crap I may have added.
So is SNEEK old-school?
I understood that WBFS files were smaller than the ISO's as they only contained the Game partition - I thought this was a newer method than "scrubbed" ISO's which seem to be something similar?? What's the current best practice for minimising the size of backups?
One unrelated question, can a (modded) Gamecube run CD backups of Gamecube games that are ~700MB or less?
I'm having trouble using an NTFS USB flash drive with both USB Loader GX and CFG USB Loader. I've been using this drive forever, but I formatted it to use with something else, and when I reformatted back it no longer was being recognized by the USB loaders.
CFG USB Loader says "No NTFS1 partition found" or something along those lines and thinks the partition is something called "UNK-ee". GX just hangs on the "initializing USB device" stage indefinitely.
AFAIK both of these programs are on their latest version. I also have d2x, just installed it. Didn't change anything. I've tried reformatting with Windows format, Rufus and Bootice, and none of it works.
I could probably get it to work on FAT32, but I hate having to break files up into less than 4GB and I use this USB for other things. I can post my Wii's sysinfo or take a picture of CFG's error message if it would help.
EDIT: Doesn't work on FAT32 either. Odd. CFG got into the menu and had a picture of the game, but it wouldn't launch. GX just hung on the initializing screen again. I tried formatting with Rufus and the game wouldn't even show up in CFG anymore.
