How to load games and apps for Wii Homebrew using a USB thumb drive?

Hi. I'm trying to find out a way to load back up game files and apps from my USB thumb drive. My SD card is only a 128mb card so I need something slightly larger to hold any bigger games. Can you help out? Thanks!

I already have Homebrew Channel installed and everything. I just need to find a way to get the stuff on my SD card to also work on the USB drive since the USB drive holds 2GB instead of the insignificant 128 mb. If it means anything, I'm on the Wii 4.3u.

    First up, make sure you the Homebrew channel is running on IOS 58 for USB 2.0 support... Since you're running Wii Menu 4.3, you should be OK for that.

    Second, make sure you prep your thumbdrive like an SD card... So all your apps are located at usb:\apps\ & so on. -- this is where HBC will look for stuff.

    Once you load up the Homebrew Channel (& have the thumbdrive connected), hit 1 on the Wiimote to pull up the settings menu. Just click on "USB" on the menu to load up your thumbdrive & the apps located on it.

    Then, just select what you want to run & you're ready to go. Please be aware that some homebrew apps are not designed to work well on USB devices, so your milage will vary.

    Hope this helps!

    hbc usb loaders all work off that one female usb in back. if u want to use flash drives, u can use multiple flash thumb drives. or just cut the trouble and get urself a usb external hard drive, aka passport or go hdd, but any usb hdd will work. (up to 2TB i hear.)
