Same as that Briggs, wii backup manager transfers wbfs, iso, and ciso files if I'm not mistaken

i would also like to know what to do with a wbfs file. i have tried to turn it into a iso file, then use in Manager 3.0, and it loads the file, but doesnt show up on the drive, or drive contents.

Welcome to the forum.

So what did you use to convert the wbfs file into an iso file?

I've used and Wii Game Manager 1.5.0.2 and Wii Game Converter GXS to convert wbfs to iso as WBFS Manager won't load a wbfs file.

After you have loaded the iso doesn't it show in the file list in WBFS Manager? I don't know what you are using to show the drive contents as Windows does recognise the WBFS formatted drive. Or doesn't it show on the drive with a USB Loader?

I personally recommend Wii Backup Manager, as it handles WBFS files (as well as their supplimentary WBF1 files), ISOs, and CSOs, then transfers them to a folder on your selected HDD (usually "wbfs\GameName [GameID]")

My drive is formatted to NTFS, and I leave the files as [GAME NAME].wbfs and transfer them manually to my drive J:\wbfs\[GAME NAME].wbfs. I can see all of my games on the hdd without the use of a manager and the wbfs files are smaller than the iso files, so I can store more of them on the drive at a time.

When I get a game in iso format, I use WiiBackUpManager to change them into wbfs format.
