#2412 4GB .wbfs file not recognized
I have one game backup (SNCE8P) which has been converted into a slightly-more-than-4GB .wbfs file, and am attempting to load from a (64 GB) FAT32 USB flash drive. Unfortunately, this single file isn't recognized by USBLoader GX.
ALL other files on that flash drive - and within the "/wbfs/" folder - are recognized and work as needed … including others which are pushing up against the 4GB size limit.
At first, I figured it was just a filesystem limitation of FAT32, so used Witgui (https://desairem.com/wordpress/witgui/) to segment it into <4GB segments (.wbfs, .wbf2, .wbf3, etc.) - still, no dice.
Any ideas why this one wouldn't be recognized? If I have a segmented file, is there a given file layout and/or naming scheme which is required? (i.e. Maybe all such segments must be collated in a subfolder, vs. at the main level of the /wbfs/ directory? Maybe that subfolder must be named "Title [SNCE8P]" or similar?) I've tried each of these options, and they don't seem to work - so am looking for other suggestions/pointers on what might help.
Thanks in advance…
I had this problem as well with RSTE64, Star Wars: Force Unleashed. It turns out that Windows rounded down when calculating the file size, and it was actually larger than the FAT32 4gb limit.
I just formatted the drive to NTFS. You can do that in windows by going to "this pc" and right-clicking the drive, then selecting format, and format it to .ntfs. Just make sure you move all your files out before you do that because formatting will erase all the data on the drive.
As for the file directory, one game should go something like this:
This PC > (USB drive) > wbfs > Star Wars - The Force Unleashed [RSTE64] > (file) RSTE64
The .wbfs file must be named the wii game ID, and the folder containing it also must be named "Title [Wii ID]" as you said. Of course substituting the title for the title and the wii id for the wii id.
Thanks, @skibidi boppity! I thought that NTFS volumes weren't recognized by USBLoaderGX for some reason … but will give it a shot again, with that new volume format.
