App works perfectly when making channels out of a game ISO.

Only thing that is not working, is the build in WBFS for my Western Digital Essential 1TB. So I use WBFS_WIN for the adding, extracting and such.

Ok, I give up. Where does WADManager 2.1 get installed to ? Can't find it anywhere under Programs ?

D'oh ... that would be because I had only run the setup.exe file (which installs the required dlls, etc) and not the WBFS installer

This thread is meant to be for HowardC's WBFS Manager and Channel Creator 2.0, but it seems to have been hijacked by AlexDP's WBFS Manager 2.0 or 2.1
It would be nice if the people who want to talk about AlexDP's app could take their discussion elsewhere rather than clogging up this thread with stuff not related to HowardC's app.

Gambia, The
HowardC, nice app ! ;-Q

Made many Channels with it.

But for two Games "Monster Jam Urban Assault" & "Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party" both PAL, the Channels don´t work.
Monster Jam is only showed up as a "?" and I cant move the channel and Rayman dont even show up in channelmenu ;-(

Anyone got these two Channels for me ? ;-P

Any chance of making a version that has a batch mode where you simply select a folder that contains your Wii ISO and it will make a channel of each of them.

Also, it would be nice if the Game ID did not default to U***. I would like to be able to select the starting letter myself.

There are other programs that can easily change the ID of a wad.

I like the U*** format because it keeps it all neat and organised.
If you go around giving them whatever IDs you want then there's more chance of having a conflict with another channel and causing problems.
As far as I'm aware, U hasn't been used for anything else officially on the Wii.
Each system on VC has its own letter:
C for Commodore64
E for Neo Geo
F for NES/Famicom
J for SNES/Super Famicom
L for Master System
M for Mega Drive/Genesis
N for Nintendo 64
P for PC Engine/Turbografx (CD)

R is used for Wii games.
H is used for official channels

Very sorry, didn't intend to hijack it, which is why I gave the link to the thread in my initial post. Great work on this app btw HowardC.

I wondered this myself. Besides that, HowardC's app can actually read drives that were formatted in Linux with no drive letter while AlexDP's still depends on drive letters.

Hope HC keeps working on his.

Love this program HowardC. I only noticed one problem. I added Mario Tennis to the HD with this app. It worked fine for a while. Then when I went to start it again, I got a code dump (exeption error) and have to power down the Wii and reboot. If I try to extract the iso from the HD after that, it is corrupted. I extracted the iso and burned to a DVD and got the same code dump when trying to play it. I can re-add the game with a "new" iso of the game and it will be fine. Anyone else have this happen?

The only problem I have is in trying to make a channel for Taiko no Tatsujin Wii.

The Channel Name ends up as "Sample1" (translated into all the diff languages when looked at with wii tools) Whereas it should be TAIKO Wii (or maybe TAIKO: Wii, I'm not 100% sure).

I figure this is an error with reading the channel title, maybe due to some illegal characters.

is it possible to extract the opening.bnr directly from the wbfs disc?
not extracting the complete iso first... for only one small file
blink.gif


in libwbfs source i see a "wbfs_extract_file(wbfs_disc_t*d, char *path);" function...



And here on xp64, it doesnt work creating the wads; cant find WiiScrubber.dll although its there.

Just wondering if you could disable the msgbox that tells you that the game is already on the disk. I did a mass update to my hdd and instead of going through each game I dropped them all in there because I know the wbfs.exe will not add it if it does not exist. However, I did not know that your GUI would pop up with a msg box each time.

Anyhow, just a thought. Also can you rename the name of the game within the ISO or just the hard drive?
