How do i get a USB loader app on my Wii and play games from it?

I currently play some games from an SD card but i have to use somebody elses computer to get games cuz my computer doesnt have an SD reader. So im trying to learn how to use a flash drive USB because i have a kingston traveler as well as an SD card and i could just stay home and do it that way. And yes my wii has homebrew, ect... ( Wii 4.3U ) im new to this kinda stuff

Answer:

Well, I guess that depends on the games you are playing. Are they Wii games or are you playing games on an emulator like fcegx to play NES? Either way the USB drive should be formatted to FAT32. For Wii games use a program called Wii Backup Manager to move YOUR backups to/from USB/computer. And a USB loader like USBLoader GX, WiiFlow or CFG Loader to backup/play them. For emulators, or almost any homebrew app, just make an apps folder on USB and put the program folder on there like you would for apps folder on SD card. Then in the Homebrew Channel press 1 to switch from programs on SD to programs on USB. Some apps don't like to run from USB but can still load files from USB.... Spend $5-$10 and buy a memory card / USB adapter....
