A large update has been released for USB Loader GX , a heavily modified version of the popular USB loader for the Wii console , developed by developer Jacob Barber .

USB Loader GX allows us to easily perform Wii and GameCube backups from external storage media on Wii consoles (and from vWii on Wii U ).

The previous update, quite substantial, brought to light some more or less annoying problems. This new version aims to correct those malfunctions and further improve the user experience.

Optimized partition size calculation and updating, as well as GUI responsiveness by adjusting when the cache is loaded. Also improved region patching mechanisms for Japanese GameCube games and updated the Korean translation.

Fixed bugs include crashes when using NTFS formatted partitions, some partition detection issues, and incorrect column alignment in exported game lists. Improved continuous integration on GitHub.

Note: If you are upgrading from a previous version, please also update your language files using the online updater!
