Hello,

I'm glad I came across Wii Backup Fusion,.. it's made using WBFS and loading games onto our USB drive much, MUCH easier! Thank you!

One problem I am running into is that, when I transfer files to my WBFS partition on my USB drive the results are almost always 4.12GB in filesize - even for games that are much smaller (eg. ,y 1.39GB game resulted in a 4.12GB file on my WBFS partition after using Wii Backup Fusion v1.1 to transfer it)..

Is this a known bug, a pilot error (can I do something differently?) or what is happening ??

For example, I took a screen shot of a game Ghost Squad (I know, there are better.. just happened to be a great example of a 638MB WBFS file turning into a 4.12GB game on my USB Drive!) that was 638MB before the transfer and resulted in a 4.12GB game once completed... and when I view screenshots of others people lists (from forums, etc.) I see a common theme.. most games are 4.12GB and on some screenshots, nearly all were 4.38GB (that was on a Windows machine).

NOTE: not all games transfer as 4.12GB... but about 9/10 do... that is, 9/10 games that are smaller than 4.12GB end up as 4.12 GB on disk...

Any help is greatly appreciated as my USB drive is not very big and taking 4.12GB for each game limits how many we can load for our kids to play.. yeah, me too

Thanks again!!!
Jesse
