    Extract em first then look in the folders and copy all the covers disc art whatever to the folders you setup in USBloaderGX, default is on the SD Card apps/usbloader_gx/???? I don't have time to double check about to go to work but they are layed out in seperate folders Disc/3D cover/2D cover/Full cover something like that anyway

    last time I done this though they are kept in seperate region folders in the archieves but USBloaderGX does not do this so make sure the images are taken out the region folders first

    thats just silly.

    Why on earth would you want to do that anyway??? You would just be cloging up space.

    Just download as you need em.

    It's not for us to reason why they are available, so some must use em

    To be honest covers downloaded via USB Loader GX if you are missing a few can take a bit of time to get, possibly for me it's because my laptop is also downloading other things though

    it can't be on the SD card though, because i plugged my hardrive on my friends freshly modded wii (without my card in) and it had all the covers still, is it one the HD somewhere?

    Just look at the config/settings in USB Loader GX, it will tell you the location there, mine is not the same as your as I used LoaderGX long before you and by default it was on the SD and I set it up custom to see them off of my Fat partition instead

    ok, so i just found out my hardrive is trolling me, for some reason it DOES have SOME images on the SD card, however it ALSO has some installed on my NTFS partition of my hardrive, somehow its loading from both of them, any explanation?

    (i have two partitions 1)300G NTFS and 1) 700G WBFS)

    Yeah you have it setup automaticly depending on what is or isn't plugged in

    If you ran it without SD it will use your HDD instead to download to

    Default if everything is plugged in is the SD card though

    You can manually set it up if you like to use the HDD all the time instead if you wanted

    Do you use wii backup manager to transfer games?

    Have you ever downloaded the covers using wii backup manager?

    They will have been downloaded to the modmii folder if you have used WBM

    Does it matter that much, move em all to a single folder config USBloaderGX to use whatever folder you wanted, I recomend your HDD, and keep your SD card with you as that has the settings saved on it

    You can run USBLoaderGX without a SD if you use the forwarder or install a channel that is not a forwarder
