WIT: Wiimms ISO Tools v1.27a - 2011-02-09
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:
- WIT (Wiimms ISO Toolset) is a set of command line tools.
- wit (Wiimms ISO tool) is the main Wii and GameCube ISO manipulation tool.
- wwt (Wiimms WBFS tool) is a complete WBFS manager including FS checking and repairing, time stamps and multi WBFS support.
- wdf (Wiimms WDF Tool) is a little tool to manage WDF, CISO and WIA files.
- wfuse (Wiimms FUSE Tool) mounts Wii and GameCube images and WBFS files and partitions using FUSE.
- WIT supports 6 Wii disc file types (ISO, CISO, WDF, WIA, WBFS and FST) and can read from pipes (indirect RAR/ZIP/7Z support).
- wit can verify and compare (diff) Wii and GameCube ISO images.
- wit can extract and compose Wii ISO images.
- wit can patch Wii and GameCube ISO images while copying.
- wit can mix partitions from different sources into a new Wii ISO images.
- wit and wwt support many diagnostic commands.
- Advanced shell support.
Download of the current version:
- wit-v1.27a-r2289-i386.tar.gz : Linux/i386 version
- wit-v1.27a-r2289-x86_64.tar.gz : Linux/x86_64 version
- wit-v1.27a-r2289-mac.tar.gz : Mac OS universal binaries (ppc, i386 and x86-64)
- wit-v1.27a-r2289-cygwin.zip : Cygwin (Windows) version
- Other releases are available from 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.
. - Wii Covers Download & WBFS Manager for Windows, a WBFS and ISO manager.
This is a very young Java based WBFS manager. (GBA temp discussion)
Highlights of this release:
- A new tool is included: wfuse
This new tool is a FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) application. wfuse can mount ISO images in all supported file formats (ISO, CISO, WDF, WIA, WBFS, FST) and also complete WBFS files and partitions. The mounted file system is readonly. wfuse is available for Linux and Mac; Windows has no FUSE support. For more details read http://wit.wiimm.de/wfuse/
.
Change log:
Code:
wit v1.27a r2289 - 2011-02-09
- Bug fix: WBFS preallocation was always a little bit to short.
- Bug fix: Wrong signature when dumping the content of TICKET and TMD files.
- Bug fix: "wwt sync --newer FST" failed because of missing timestamp.
- New option --links: Detect soft and hard linked source files while composing
ÂÂ or extracting discs and try to create hard links instead of independent
ÂÂ copies on the destination file system.
- New option: --flat: If extracting files the path names of the source discs
ÂÂ are removed. This enables extracting of all files to s specific destination
ÂÂ directory without creation of subdirectories. Command "wit files --flat"
ÂÂ can be used to verify the flat names.
- New tool: wfuse: Mount a Wii or GameCube image or a WBFS file or partition
ÂÂ to a mount point using FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace). FUSE and wfuse are
ÂÂ not available for Cygwin/Windows.
Known bugs:
- The GameCube support is in development and EXPERIMENTAL!
- There are new problems while reading from non seekable sources (e.g. pipes).
ÂÂ The reason is the complete new and more intelligent wiidisc lib which makes
ÂÂ more lookups ==> The best is to use version 1.01c for pipes.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.
@giantpune:
Some time ago you asked me: "Is it possible to extract one or some files into a directory without creating the complete directory hierarchy?"
And now my answer is yes, and it is possible in 2 ways.
Example: You want to extract sys/main.dol of the data partition into the current directory:
Some time ago you asked me: "Is it possible to extract one or some files into a directory without creating the complete directory hierarchy?"
And now my answer is yes, and it is possible in 2 ways.
Example: You want to extract sys/main.dol of the data partition into the current directory:
Code:
1.) use the --flat option
wit extract --psel data -F +/sys/main.dol --flat sourceimage .
2.) mount the image (not for windows)
mkdir mnt
wfuse sourceimage mnt
cp -p mnt/iso/part/data/sys/main.dol .
wfuse --umount mnt
rmdir mnt
replacement will be a hard job. it is together with gamecube support in my 2do list in group 2 "extensions". First I will finish group 1 "bugs":
- little bug fixes and correction of with "[2do]" marked source.
- --section support for some other commands.
- some other nice little things.
btw: FUSE was also in group 2.

i think you have brought back a bug which you had once fixed.

Hello,
Sorry if it's not the good place.
Sorry for my bad English (school is fare away now).
It 's the 3rd time that I loose my wbfs partition (bad use of loader and cios I guess).
As it's very long to rip again and again my games, I try to repair the wbfs partition.
I try this command that I find on www : "wwt -f -p /dev/sde1 EDIT ACT=0-1000" but again :
I try this command "wwt format --recover" but after than :
wwt found a new partition !!
I think it's better for me to stop blind attempt !! (obviously I don't know what I 'm doing, huh
).
It seems that my games are still in there but how can I recover them ?
Thanks for your help !

The wbfs header is overwritten.
Try: "wwt format --recover /dev/sde1"
and after verifying the output (make sure that it is the right partition) try:
"wwt format --recover /dev/sde1 --force"
"EDIT ACT=0-1000" is an very old variant before --recover.
EDIT:
I'm tied and so I haven't seen that you have already done the first command. The command FORMAT needs --force for execution. It is a little bit security because FORMAT can destroy whole drives.

The command "wwt format --recover /dev/sde1 --force" works perfectly, find all my games and end with "no errors found".
Wiithon can see the games again ...
I will try plunging the HD on my wii tomorrow but it seems to be ok.
Just a question about the new partition that I have created by mistake on my disk...
(now it's /dev/sdc1 but you can see /dev/sdc is new and empty)
It's a problem or no ? Can - or should - I delete it ?
I will test the disk on my wii tomorrow.
For now, off to bed...

is there any way to use long name files with spaces or, i must use single names without spaces?
thx

@Alouest
It is maybe a problem for auto detecting the wbfs device. You can delete the wbfs header with (if working with a unix like system):
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc1 bs=1 count=12
Be sure to use the right device!!!

@ Wiimm
It's perfect!
The games are here and well read by the loader.
As I'm working on ubuntu, I tried your command "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc1 bs=1 count=12" pointing to the good partition (the empty one : sdd).
As you can see, it has no effect : /dev/sdd is alway here.
But it's not really a problem because games works fine.
Maybe - one day - I will format the HD to clear this point.
Thank you again for your help.
Regards.

The WBFS header is done, that's important!
ANALYZE and also "FORMAT --recover" look deep into each partition and try to find WBFS fragments. But if the header is cleared all usb loaders and all wbfs mangers will recognize this drive as non WBFS.

Little help if someone could.
How can I use wit to set the Game title, game id, and region, without fakesigning the disc.
I would like to set an iso to
--id=0SBE01
--title "Super Smash Bros. Brawl"
--region USA
I have tried-
wit edit game.iso --id=0SBE01 --title "Super Smash Bros. Brawl" --region USA
But it edits the ticket, tmd, boot also. I only want to edit the header and region.
Similar to regionfrii and WIIISORenamerv3
any suggestions?

Thanks, I'll try that.
Edit-
OK so
wit edit game.iso --id=0SBE01 --name "Super Smash Bros. Brawl" --region USA --modify NONE,DISC,BOOT
Just to clarify, modifying disc and boot does not require fakesign, but ticket and tmd does? Also, is there any relevance to the region string? Wit sets this to -
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
Regionfrii sets it to-
80 06 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80
What checks this region string?
