It says OK, I did verify before, it even says OK with the built image but always crashes in the same spot regardless.
Sometime ago I tried running 2 instances of wwt in parallel and I noticed that this way games are not added correctly to WBFS partitions. Is there a chance that parallel operations could be supported in the future?
Hey Wiimm I've been admiring your work for quite a while. Your Mario Kart Wii projects are some of the most fun I had with Mario Kart in a long time.
I made an account solely to ask you for some assistance.
Goal: Build a Super Smash Bros Legacy ISO image. (Super Smash Bros Legacy is a Project M Mod. More info on it can be found here http://smashboards.com/threads/1-5-update-smash-bros-legacy-m-3-6-version-1-21.376318/)
The Issue: After the intro of the modded iso plays, the game crashes.
My Steps:
I thought the error could lie in the GCT file not being active in Dolphin. But after forcing Dolphin to run the Legacy GCT, the same error/crash still exists.
Do you have any idea where the problem could be? I've spent about 4 hours trying to resolve this issue.

The Issue: After the intro of the modded iso plays, the game crashes.
My Steps:
- I've have a good backup of Super Smash Bros. Brawl on my computer. I've tested this backup on the latest version of Dolphin. It works perfectly.
- After properly installing and rebooting Wit on my windows machine, I've extracted my backup using wit.
- For good measure, I've
recompressedrecompiled (COPY in wit) the Brawl backup without modifying any files. The ISO that wit produced also worked on Dolphin perfectly. - I've replaced all the Brawl extracted files with all the modded files of Super Smash Bros Legacy. I did this via Window Explorer with a copy and paste. (Overwrite All)
- I've ran the COPY command in wit to build the ISO. The opening runs fine in Dolphin, but after a certain point in the intro, Dolphin crashes and hands me a bunch of error's similar to the image I posted below.

after changing out the original files with the modded files ... dont you need to update the fst.bin and boot.bin with the new files sizes and what not ? fstcreator.exe click this link to download PG
then rebuild the game ?
i used to use fstcreator.exe with this .bat below, right on my removable storage, i would switch out levels on NSMBW:
Code:
@echo off
.\fstcreator.exe .\games\SMNE01\files\ .\games\SMNE01\sys\fst.bin .\games\SMNE01\sys\boot.bin
pause

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I have the US version of SSBB, which I suspect is the reason why the two code dumps are wildly different.
May I have more information on this process? fstcreator.exe analyses the extracted modded files and updates fst.bin and boot.bin? What's happening behind the scenes?
Last edited by CyberMario,
fstcreator.exe kind of updates the games table of contents with the new files sizes before you rebuild the files to iso or wbfs
if fstcreeator.exe is on your c drive root and your game is extracted to your c drive root and the folder the extracted game is in is called ssbb then you would make the .bat like this
if fstcreeator.exe is on your c drive root and your game is extracted to your c drive root and the folder the extracted game is in is called ssbb then you would make the .bat like this
Code:
@echo off
c:\fstcreator.exe c:\games\SSBB\files\ c:\games\SSBB\sys\fst.bin c:\games\SSBB\sys\boot.bin
pausefstcreator.exe is useless if creating an image with wit. Did you really believed that the image creation was done without updating the main file listing?
Another point. For wit+wwt the file format (wbfs, wdf, iso, ...) is not relevant; they are only different containers.
@CyberMario
You image looks good. Have you ever tested to extract and recompile the image without modifications?
EDIT:
See here for a list with required, optional and ignored files:

Yes I have.
Would you like to see the dump of recompiled image (no mods) as well?
Last edited by CyberMario,
good to know,
i always use qtwitgui and pune told me to use fstcreator , but maybe he meant just for *neek filesystem and i miss understood
@CyberMario
I read it, and forgot it.
If the unmodified and recompiled image works, then some of the files are bad.
From MKW I know, that some code is only running at Dolphin (Dolphin seems to be more tolerant than Wii), and other code only at the Wii (Dolphin can't emulate all CPU instructions).

Alright, it sounds like putting the iso on the Wii is the only real way to test it. That's going to take some time because I don't have a Wii on me right now.
When I do get the chance to test it and if it doesn't work, is there any other suggestions you can think of?
EDIT: Figured it out, its just the last 2 characters of the title id. Kinda strange, its not something I'd expect would even need to be patched in anywhere, but what do I know 
Hey wiimm, I'm not sure if you would know the answer to this, but it is in regards to Brawl and wit's dolpatch feature. I have been looking at a bunch of custom brawl building scripts, all of them have a variable called %PC%, which is always a 2-byte hex value that gets patched at address 805A14B8. The problem is every mod uses a different value here, and I can't figure out what it is for or where they get the value from (for example, Project M 3.01 uses 504D, while 3.5 uses 4333). Any ideas?

So, new problem, still with Brawl.
If I build a Brawl ISO from a folder using wit copy, without using other parameters, the built ISO runs fine. But if I change the ID with --id, then when I try to run the ISO, I get the "Please insert the Super Smash Bros. Brawl Game Disc." screen. Any idea what I am doing wrong here? Nothing has been patched, I just extracted Brawl, then built the ISO from the extracted folder. Works if I don't change the ID, doesn't work if I do.
I guess I should also mention I am using Dolphin to test, not an actual Wii.
EDIT: Side note, if I do --id="RSBE01" (which is Brawls regular ID) then it also runs fine.
EDIT #2: Figured it out, and also figured out why the patch was needed in my previous post. So there are 2 things that need to happen for the game to not show the insert disc screen after changing Brawl's ID. First, main.dol needs to be edited. If you open it in a hex editor then at address 0x00494630, where it should originally have the text value RSBE, change it to match the new ID. The second thing only applies if the last part of your ID is not 01 (as in RSBE01). If that part is not set to 01, then you need to add a patch when loading the game (i.e. wit's dolpatch, or a Gecko code, or in Dolphin right click the game, then properties->patches tab). For the address/offset of the patch use 805A14B8, and for the value use the last 2 characters of your custom title (in hex, obviously. Also, in dolphin you have to specify that the size is a word, not a byte).
EDIT #3: Just realized that the patch for the last part of the ID could also be added directly to main.dol, at address 0x00494638. Conversely, I assume (though I haven't tested) the edit to main.dol for the first part of the ID could be applied as a patch instead, at address/offset 805A14B0

Found kind of a bug. When Wii Backup Manager removes partitions from the iso, it does not remove the address of the second partition from the partition table at 0x40028.
Before removing a partition:
After removing:
It does not cause problems when playing the iso, because the number of partitions is set to 1. But it does leave ambiguous garbage at that space.
When I execute "wit convert game.iso --psel data" on a "2-partition" iso. The UPDATE partition gets removed and data at 0x40028 is filled with 0. When I exectue the same command on a "1-partition" iso, that garbage at 0x40028 does not get removed. That's quite an ambiguous behaviour I think.

Hi Wiimm,
some users of Witgui reported that they have problems listing WBFS partitions. I noticed that this happens when using the command wwt find --all, but everything works when finding all connected devices with diskutil list -plist and filtering out WBFS partitions when the command wwt find device runs without raising an error. Do you know what might be the cause of this problem?

@Nickkk
Please tell me, where I have to search the partitions.

Please tell me, where I have to search the partitions.
Extract from history:
Code:
wwt v0.39a r782 - 2010-03-29
...
- wwt --auto: If the file /proc/partitions is not found, than all devices
named '/dev/sd*' and '/dev/rdisk*' are scanned for WBFS. If scanning of
'/dev/rdisk*' fails then also files named '/dev/disk*' are scanned.
Using character devices '/dev/rdisk*' will speed up wwt on apple computers.@Wiimm is there anything else I could try to get Another Code R to be compatible with wit? I have tried so many things, yet it always crashes at the initial loading screen. No matter how much I try, it doesn't make sense to me why this game would be different from the rest. Can Japanese filenames be an issue? This game has a lot of those but dolphin indicates it crashes loading a standard file.
really wit doesn't work with Another Code R , extracted and converted with wit for me, as you can in the picSimilar threads
