    Is it possible to make the Brawl ISO of 3.75 GBs to load on my Wii from a 4 GBs USB? D:

    Help would be pretty appreciated!

    When you install the Brawl ISO onto a USB device, you will get two files, which will end with the following file extensions...

    1: .wbfs
    2: .wbf1

    Basically, the ISO will be split into two files so that it can be used on a storage device that uses the FAT and/or FAT32 file systems.  You see, FAT and FAT32 have a 4 GB file size limit, which the Brawl ISO heavily exceeds; when compressed, the Brawl ISO uses 6.93 GB, out of the 7.92 GB that the dual-layered ISO can hold.  If the Brawl ISO isn't split, it can never be stored in those file systems.

    Fortunately, the NTFS file system bypasses this issue.

    So, in other words, I'd have to get a 8 GB USB for Brawl to work? If that's the case, can'tt I get it beloe 3.7 with ISO Scrubbing?

    Not quite.  You can still run the Brawl ISO on a FAT32 device, as long as it contains ALL of its split data.  Again, the original Brawl ISO uses 6.93 GB when it's compressed, so the Brawl ISO's split files must add up to that value in order to work.

    Again your only option for running Brawl on a FAT32 device is to convert it into a WBFS file (Wii Backup Manager is recommended), and set it up so that the ISO gets split when it reaches the 4 GB limit; that will give you a .wbfs file, and a .wbf1 file.  Place those two files in the wbfs folder, and Brawl should load up.

    Keep in mind that this dilemma is usually only present for dual-layered ISOs (holding up to 7.92 GB).  Single layered ISOs (which hold up to 4.37 GB) usually don't reach the 4 GB limit when they're compressed; if the update partitions are removed.

    Another tip: depending usb loader some dual layer games won't run correctly due to its size and also it being dual layer so most cios's like 222 ,223 or 224 might not work or freeze or glicth alot the best and less messed up ones that are able to play it are 249,250 wankinkos ios

    You could always download the single-layer rip, but I believe it's missing Subspace stuff.

    Hmm, I actuslly have the original disc but I played Brawl using a Single Layered Brawl ISO (To avoid damaging the lens with Dual Layered Disc, I heard it damaged the Lens, so it wouldn't hurt avoiding it) a friend gave me, which he said had the videos removed, but the ISO is 4.3 GB, it'd need an ISO of 3.75 GBs (That's the storage limit of this USB) D:

    You obviously need a larger storage device; the Brawl ISO is too big to be stored in 4 GB devices.  An 8 GB flash drive may work, but if you want to use more games with the USB Loader, a portable hard drive (500 GB works) is recommended.
