What is this program:
If you are here probably already know but, this is a program for managing a Wii game collection on your PC. Previously Simple WBFS File Manager this program has been completely rewritten form scratch and renamed to something more suitable. It is written to add a GUI to wbfs_file.exe written by Oggzee.   Requirements: .net 3.5 and the program must be run as administrator as I did not feel like learning all about windows security just to make my program do what I want it to do. This may be looked at closer in the future to avoid confusion but it not at the top of my list of things to do What it does: The primary function of the program is conversion to/from .iso and .wbfs files Sub functions include: Adding and removing files to/from WBFS formatted partitions Game cover management (Display and download) List export and print finctions Partition formatting to WBFS As of version 1.4 it has support for multiple languages Has support for most all of the functions of wbfs_file.exe (I am adding new functions all the time) Has preliminary support for wiitdb xml information (synopsis, players, genre etc etc) What it does not do: It does not include support for formats not supported by wbfs_file.exe (iso, wbfs, and WBFS partitions) It does not download games nor will it tell you where to get them, don't ask This application can be broken on purpose if you try hard enough, telling the app to delete a game and then immediately telling it to process the same game in some way will cause the function to fail or the app to crash. I am always working on error checking to prevent these things from happening, but no one is perfect  Also, it does not currently check for duplicate requests, you can tell it to resplit your files 20 times and it will do it. I hope you find this program useful, be sure to post your suggestions/thoughts/bugs so I can make it even better The Configurable USB Loader topic can be found here: http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=147638 Here is version 1.5.0.2 (Bugfix release) the languages are included in the archive http://www.megaupload.com/?d=D0MBCKAA Changes to 1.5.0.2 Fixed english.ini was extracted everytime a language was selected Fixed tabs were not wide enough to handle translated text Fixed List B was not properly translated Fixed english.ini mis-spelling of the word relevant Fixed the list selects an item but does not scroll to it when pressing a letter on the keyboard Removed the trailing underscore from .iso files and created directories Fixed bug that would cause the program to lock up sometimes if the WBFS partition was empty Added drive info panel to the display to show total size, used space and free space Themes: Bowser: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ZKN888A5 Diddy Kong: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=EBUH26XO Donkey Kong: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=6WUAXYXP Link: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=NE6RC269 Luigi: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=I5QU3NES Mario: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=9IJSO2P1 Princess Peach: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=2C7F2NO3 Yoshi: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=RXJJ4XEE Zelda: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=6A91EKA4 Previous Versions:

I am extremely happy to see the release of this manager.
I will have a serious test with the core of this Manager. However, it is undeniable that the user interface of Wii Backup Manager is far better. I would be very happy if you can take a close look at it. Thanks a LOT ! This post has been edited by TeenTin: Dec 28 2009, 01:47 AM |

cant wait for the copy/move sparse function
looks like a great program as others have said wii backup manager has a good gui but hey this 1 is simple and does what u need it too and im sure a more bland simple theme would make it look classier than out there imo than these bright themes QUOTE(nitrostemp @ Dec 28 2009, 10:36 AM) i was woundering if you can add ntfs and fat support? use the copy to functions...? QUOTE(francerossina @ Dec 28 2009, 09:42 AM) My HD is located at H:\ unit Is there a way to use your program, since it stops at G:\? Bye my drive is H:\ and it sees it and opens it also have another 1 set to U:\ thats blank and it can see it This post has been edited by bert02: Dec 28 2009, 03:34 AM |

QUOTE(francerossina @ Dec 28 2009, 01:12 AM) My HD is located at H:\ unit Is there a way to use your program, since it stops at G:\? Bye There are currently no limitations on drive letters, this program should see any drive letter that is marked as "ready" in windows By ready I mean that it must have a readable format on it ie: it will read a cd drive if there is a usable cd in it, if not it won't show up Reading from cd/dvd is untested but there is nothing preventing it The only drive letter limitation is WBFS partitioned drives.... The program will assume that any drive that is not ntfs, fat32, or exFat is in fact a WBFS drive....This should not normally present a problem unless windows assigns a drive letter to something else, say a linux partition for instance. If windows gives it a drive letter and is is recognized by the program as "Unknown" it will assume it is WBFS and add it to the drive selection |

QUOTE(LxTrix @ Dec 27 2009, 10:01 PM) Suggesting a feature.... the ability to sync two hard drives so they have the same games and the ability to copy individual games to another hard drive As stated in the first post, this is basically compare the current list to drive X or folder X and select all items that dont exist on/in the drive/folder. After they are selected you can do what you want with them, copy/move/convert etc... QUOTE ---Select all games not on drive(x) or in folder(x) This function is not yet implemented, it will be in the next version. It coming  The ability to copy a single game is already there....Right click the game and select copy to... or move to... If you want to copy/move more than one hold ctrl and select the files you want, then right click If you want all games, I have also added ctrl-a functionality too Sparse file copy/move is something I am looking into, hopefully I can get that sorted in the next version This post has been edited by pccfatman: Dec 28 2009, 04:02 AM |

However, it is undeniable that the user interface of Wii Backup Manager is far better. I would be very happy if you can take a close look at it. Thanks a LOT ! My whole reason behind the creation of this manager is because I found the interface of Wii Backup Manager very clumsy to navigate, I wanted something simpler. Also many people were complaining that they could not use or understand the command line interface that is wbfs_file.exe. When I originally tried to use the other program I had trouble understanding all of the different "features" and had to refer to a guide to use it. The program is very nice looking and works well from my understanding, I will add some other themes that are more "windows" basic but the core functionality of this program is that it is a GUI for wbfs_file.exe, without that this program has no conversion functions at all. I am happy with the evolution of Simple WBFS file manager into this program. I personally think this program is not inferior to Wii backup manager in any way. That one has it's features and this one has it's own(and more coming). As far as testing the core of the program, be my guest, break it, bend it, make it crash. If there is a problem I want to know. I have/had no toester for this version, I wrote it and tested it myself, I found some bugs as I stated in the first post, if you find more please let me know Ed This post has been edited by pccfatman: Dec 28 2009, 04:35 AM |
