You'll want a fast USB drive ideally or a external hard drive (if you get a cheap SSD and a USB adapter you can get a really good experience. It's what I use on my Wii and WiiU)
Thanks for your advice, also is there any official site/guide/forum of USB Loader GX , so that I can know how to put files in it after ripping them
All I want to play is Twillight Princess and Wii Sports Resort, will they run properly on 8GB pen drive or more bigger pen drive or ssd?

I see.

If it's the latter, I would personally try to lower the rendering resolution without dropping the screen resolution. Plenty of games have a resolution scale setting nowadays (either in-game or through config files/command line arguments), and by doing that way, you can lower the rendering resolution while still having crisp text, menus and HUD (because you didn't drop the screen resolution).
But other than that, using a resolution scaling trick vs dropping the screen resolution to the desired rendering resolution should result in the same performance...
PC games, is the rendering resolution the multiplier scaling option? i do set it to 0.80x but always drop the game's resolution to 720p, so you're suggesting i leave my game on 1920x1080 and set the multiplier to like 0.50x or something?

I believe you'll need a larger one, I used RawDump for my game library, and all the Wii titles are just over 4GB in size.
Also, after formatting your drive you'll probably find it has about 7.8GB available instead of the full 8GB.
So unless you have a way to remove the empty space on the discs, you'll probably need a 16GB USB drive.
Which will run Twilight Princess Wii better USB LOADER GX -or- DOLPHIN? I mean to run on dolphin you’ll need 700$ laptop or so, but for playing via Homebrew, I can use my Wii with damaged CD DRIVE to play games (by ripping them with my friend’s Wii console). I believe Homebrew will run better? Also last thing will 64gb pen drive would run them at full speed? Or I need SSD ONLY?

What is the way to tag someone here? I m new
You can't tag people. This is a forum.
Anyhow, for games Dolphin emulates accurately and at a decent speed on a particular machine, it can be much better to run the game through Dolphin due to additional enhancements the emulator has that aren't possible on the original console. If Dolphin can't emulate a game accurately, though, it can still be better to run it on the real hardware, and if you don't have a PC capable of running a particular game at the correct speed, then it'll probably be more fun on the original hardware as no amount of resolution increase will make playing in slow motion feel better.

Thanks, actually I’m new to using forums as well ?, I normally use Twitter that’s why I thought that I could tag here as well.
Oh god, people young enough to use internet but don't know what a forum is exist now, I'm really getting older.

An actual console will play the games accurately through USB, but enhancements like video upscaling and HD texture packs can only be done through emulation.
Most USB 2.0 drives are actually faster than DVD drives, so an SSD would be overkill.
