Play Project M with USB and No SD Card

Not too long ago, I was playing Mario Party 7, using Nintendont(I had a physical copy of the game), with my family, until my sister had her gamecube controller wire in the air, meaning it was elevated off ground, and accidentally put force on the wire with her foot, which knocked the Wii down on a hard tile floor. My Wii was on a table, which took a hard fall after the accident. The game bugged out and froze with a loud, continuous beep noise. We later found out that the SD Card reader was damaged, as the SD card would not go into the slot the same way anymore, sometimes it got stuck, and the Wii wouldn't recognize any SD card that went into the slot. I sent it into a repair store in my local area, which they found out the SD card reader was indeed severely damaged, and they were unable to fix it. Since then, I have gone WEEKS without a single game of Project M. I am sad. However, we noticed that there are USB slots in the Wii, so we tried using USB's to play, and not the SD card reader.

Homebrew does detect the USB's, and now we use them to play Nintendont games. However, when we were to put the Project M files on the USB, in the same exact way as if it were an SD card, the Project M launcher would not play any music, and would send me back to the home menu. We tried making an iso out of Project M, which came out as a successful iso, but USB GX Loader would not detect any USB device, regardless of which port it is in. My brother spent 5 hours, formatting the flashdrive over and over, trying out different tutorials, and now he's finally given up.

Is there a way to play Project M 3.6 with a USB flash drive?
