Just use the USB CFGLoader and format your harddrive with FAT32 – and you’re compatible with everything you need.

@Jense: Thanks for the response. Are you saying that I can backup my Wii games (via Waninkoko USB loader) on a FAT32 drive? I ask because I am under the impression that the drive must be a WBFS formatted drive.

There’s a few loaders that can load and backup games from and onto a FAT32 formatted partition (or drive). If you use one of those loaders, then you can just reformat your HDD into FAT32 (backup the games from the WBFS from your HDD if there’s not another copy of them elsewhere first), then place the games anywhere you see fit, including all the different media files you’d like to put on there.

I personally use two separate partitions. One is in the WBFS and the other in NTFS. A pro to using WBFS format is that you can store more games (from personal experience so don’t hold me to that statement). So I have 100GB dedicated to WFBS and the remaining 367GB for NTFS (It’s a WD 500GB My Passport Essential SE, USB 2.0).

This works great for me. Thing is, if it’s for your cousin’s children, I think it would better suit them to leave it all in FAT32. Granted, kids these days do learn fast and catch onto the tech scene more common but I’m sure no kid wants to keep disconnecting and connected the HDD to a PC and mess with WBFS Manager.

I hope this helps. Sorry for the long post. I’m a ranter.
