    1. Ok I have my wii fully hacked, homebrew, configurable USB loader (because I use an external 250GB hard drive for my games) but I don't know how to put games in it.. Firstoff you're probably thinking, if you got it running, and got games on it, then how do you not know how to get games on it? Well, my dad's friend hacked it for us, and he was very vague on the info, he just said "torrent it and put it on the wii backup manager". I have nooo idea how to do that, I have Utorrent, but where do I download the games and how?

    2. Can games like call of duty: Black Ops be torrented for my computer? or doesn't work?

    1. Download WBFS Manager and use it to put games on your HDD (WBFS stands for Wii Backup File System).

    2. (great torrent site) Yes they can be torrented onto your computer and using the above tool you can put them on your HDD.

    Again, people are pretty damn vague...

    Take your 250 GB HDD.
    Use either Partition Magic or EASEUS Partition Master (ahem this one has a Home Edition, which means free...recommended)

    If you plan on using your HDD for more than just Wii backups, then I'd suggest making two partitions. And yes, I just figured this out today and running two partitions is perfectly fine.

    Most likely you'll have a NTFS volume that is set to be partitioned for the whole volume.
    With EASEUS, right click and resize the partition to 200 GB (so that you have 50 GB for Wii backups), play around with the numbers until you get something that you want. Can be 150 GB and 100 GB or whatever. DO NOT set your partition lower than what you have used up! Meaning don't set the partition to 50 GB if you have 100 GB filled...This software lets you resize partitions without losing data, but that data can't be bigger than the partition...obviously.

    That 50 GB or whatever (we'll call it Partition B) should be unallocated space now. Right click the space and Format it to FAT32 (and set it to Primary), assign it a Drive Letter. (For mine, my FAT32 partitions are G: and H:, H: being the space that is formatted for the Wii)

    If you are only using the HDD for Wii backups, then format the entire drive into FAT32 (I haven't tried with NTFS so feel free to try it out with the original file system)

    When that's done, you are now ready to use WBFS Manager and you can safely format Partition B (mine was H:) to the Wii's file system. DOUBLE TRIPLE QUADRUPLE CHECK THAT YOU HAVE THE CORRECT DRIVE LETTER LISTED WHEN FORMATTING!
    If you pick the wrong drive letter, you're totally screwed and you lost something...
    When that is done, Load the correct drive letter (for mine it was H:) and it should have blank space. Drag and drop a Wii .ISO file into the added list (on the right hand side), and add game.
    When the game is added, it most likely has padded data (meaning blank) and it is automatically taken out for you.
    You can also extract games using WBFS Manager and it will automatically re-add the padded data (most likely to 4.37 GB).

    If you have any questions, ask on this thread.

    Lol, not everybody likes megaupload and rapidshit links...
    Torrents are easier for me since it requires ONE click to get them started, and I'm not babysitting the downloads since they only allow one download at a time...
    Oh, and I love that for some, some random piece is missing and you've already downloaded the first 7 pieces.

    they ahve 6 mirrors, and you dont really need to baby the downlaods, if you downlaod a piece of each palce you will go much faster than you think, torrents are usefull and useless, not always is a good diea, a torrent could be dead, and take more oeverall to get than file by file (torrents can die or get stopped in the mean time file per file is more efficient as you can downlaod 6 files, then 6 more and so on in a week you should have all the isos) pirate bay usually had i0ts torrent quite dead and buried when i wanted wii games so i do not recoemnd it, for demonoid i need to check the place as i have not used my account yet..

    Public trackers like TPB are the WORST places to go for stuff like this. Mainly because they don't enforce a strict ratio.
    Go to a site that enforces a share ratio and you'll notice the difference...

    I've had my fair share of dead links with MU, RS, FS, whatever else. At least with a torrent, you can see immediately how many seeders there are and relative availability. With mirrors and crap, you have to check to see that every link is still active. I've downloaded plenty enough times where I've gotten the first 6 pieces just fine, but it's missing the 7th piece. Hours of downloading just went down the drain.

    That, and I don't trust half of the uploaders on those sites. Must have a well known release group or screw it. Not worth the time. I've had plenty of those idiots label their crap NTSC, when it's really PAL (which by the way, you don't find out until you've downloaded all of the parts and extracted it...) Or they do the n00b thing and change it to NTSC using a PAL disc. Yeah, they're idiots.

    I was just looking on their forum and they label 90% of their crap as NTSC/PAL...
    It can't be both.
    And it's equally stupid to have some as NTSC and some as PAL.

    Yeah, I'll just stick with my release groups.

    Download your torrents where ever you want, just don't cram them on a FAT32 device. Must be NTFS.
    FAT32 can't handle files larger than 4 GB.

    And never torrent directly to your external HDD. I did that for a month and I got a nice paperweight out of it.
