WIT: Wiimms ISO Tools v2.09a - 2012-09-08
A command line ISO+WBFS tool set for various os.

WIT (Wiimms ISO Tools) is a set of command line tools to manipulate Wii ISO images and WBFS containers. The two main tools are called wit (Wiimms ISO Tool) and wwt (Wiimms WBFS Tool, the WBFS manager).

Feature overview:

Visit http://wit.wiimm.de/features.html for more details.

Download of the current version:

wit-v2.09a-r4047-i386.tar.gz : Linux/i386 version
wit-v2.09a-r4047-x86_64.tar.gz : Linux/x86_64 version
wit-v2.09a-r4047-mac.tar.gz : Mac OS universal binaries (ppc, i386 and x86-64)
wit-v2.09a-r4047-cygwin.zip : Cygwin (Windows) version
Other releases are available at http://wit.wiimm.de/download.html.

There are also some GUI available:

QtWitGui, manipulate and convert single ISO images.
This QT based GUI focuses on manipulating single ISO images. It can do much more.
Wii Backup Fusion, a WBFS and ISO manager.
This QT based GUI is a complete WBFS manager and ISO tool.
Witgui for Mac.
This is a graphical user interface for wit available for Mac OS X.

Change log:

Code:

wit v2.09a r4047 - 2012-09-08

- Option --scan-progress prints more info and flush every log output.
- Bug fix: "wit MOVE a.wbfs ..." will work now.
- New escapes for output files: The old '%f' is the source filename without
path (like 'name.ext'). Now we have also '%g' and '%h' as split of '%f':
'%g' is file name without extension ('name') and '%h' is the extension
('.ext').
- Bug fix: "wit COPY --recurse a --dest b" threw an error, because the tool
thought, that no source was defined (same as with --source before).

The source is published under the license of GPL2. Checkout the sources directly from the SVN repository or browse the source. Visit http://wit.wiimm.de/ for more information.

Amazing that you're still updating this set of tools after three years. Keep up the good work.

The "-> Permission denied [13]" message was delivered by the system. And I open wbfs files read/write (implemented when WBFS are always partitions).

by the way: "wit copy" will not work. I have made a mistake and exchanged || and &&.

Nickkk · Sep 9, 2012

Excellent work and thank you so much! (Could you please update the download links on the website? :-)

Wiimm · Sep 9, 2012

I have canceled the latest release because of the COPY bug. Now I try to resolve the readonly issue for wbfs files before releasing the next version.

Wiimm · Sep 9, 2012

Bug fix release v2.09b is online:

Code:

wit v2.09b r4053 - 2012-09-09

- Bug fix: Because of the --recurse bug fix of v2.08a, "wit COPY" failed.

The readonly issue of WBFS must wait.

Wiimm · Sep 10, 2012

The beta repository contains version v2.10a.beta1 for testing.

Change Log

Code:

- Write privileges are not longer needed, if a WBFS file or partition is only
read.

@[member='PsyBlade']:
Will you give it a try?

It's not a distribution, only sources are available and you have to compile it by yourself:

Code:

svn co http://opensvn.wiimm.de/wii/branches/public/wiimms-iso-tools/
cd wiimms-iso-tools/
make

Its working now
thank you

I too had trouble with the link you gave
the right url is shown as target and opened when clicked but
right click - copy link gave
http://api.viglink.com/api/click?format=go&key=a919b18ecb60e22ded3c4b59aae4c684&loc=http%3A%2F%2Fgbatemp.net%2Ftopic%2F182236-wwtwit-wiimms-wbfsiso-tools%2Fpage__st__1440__p__4383210%23entry4383210&v=1&libid=1347312985074&out=http%3A%2F%2Fopensvn.wiimm.de%2Fwii%2Fbranches%2Fpublic%2Fwiimms-iso-tools%2F&ref=http%3A%2F%2Fgbatemp.net%2Fforum%2F104-nintendo-wii-discussions%2F&title=wwt%2Bwit%3A%20Wiimms%20WBFS%2BISO%20Tools%20-%20GBAtemp.net%20-%20Page%2097&txt=beta%20repository&jsonp=vglnk_jsonp_13473134016498

Wiimm · Sep 10, 2012

Fine, that it works!

I have posted the pure link: http : // opensvn.wiimm.de / wii / branches / public / wiimms-iso-tools /
If using firefox, I get the correct link. But if using opera or chrome, I get your variant. For firefox I have installed several filters and also disabled most plugins.

It's a javascript issue on gbatemp to spy the link usage. Deactivate js and you get the right link.

I just tried to follow your hint on how to enable permanent privileged WBFS read/write permissions which you describe in http://wit.wiimm.de/info/command-line.html#sudo.
But once I add the line "ALL ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/local/bin/wbfs-chmod" to the file /etc/sudoers I get the warning that there is a syntax error, and I undo all the changes. Is the syntax the same for Mac?

I have never tested it on the Mac. But it works fine on my linux systems. Perhaps you must place the script in another dir and change the path.

What happens, if root is calling the script?

PsyBlade · Sep 11, 2012

running "man sudoers" or "man sudo" in a console should give you the manual

http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man5/sudoers.5.html#//apple_ref/doc/man/5/sudoers
has it too

Nickkk · Sep 11, 2012

Ok I got it, I wrote the command manually instead of pasting it and now it works ...
I'm looking for a way to modify the wbfs-chmod file in order for the /usr/local/bin/wwt path to be flexible, because I'd like to execute the wwt file which comes inside the Witgui app bundle. Any idea on how to solve this?

I finally resolved it by myself, modifying the wbfs-chmod file as follows:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
$1 find | while read dev
do
echo chmod 666 "$dev"
chmod 666 "$dev"
done

Now when I launch wbfs-chmod I give it an argument which is the wwt path.
