USB compatability - help improve CIOS usb support

02 April 2009 - 04:01 AM

Hi, if you have time, I would like you to do a few things to help improve USB support in kwiirk's CIOS usb2.

On the Homebrew Browser is an application called "lsusb" under the Utilities category.

What'd I'd like you to do is run this application.
  1. Install lsusb.
  2. Ensure your USB harddrive / thumbdrive, etc, is plugged in to your Wii.
  3. Run lsusb.
  4. It should show a list of USB devices, for each one press A to select it and display its information, then press A again to save that information to your SD card.
  5. On the root of your SD card will be files named in the ####_####.txt format.
  6. Upload a ZIP of those files somewhere or use http://www.privatepaste.com/ to paste it and link it in a reply to this thread.
  7. Mention in your reply whether the USB Loader currently detects your USB drive.
Thanks.

a 'real' wbfs windows port

31 March 2009 - 03:11 PM

I've properly ported the wbfs tool to windows (cygwin is nasty). The download provided is wbfs built using MSVC 2008.

The current build is 'delta'. If a new release is required I'll give it a new name.

wbfs_win_delta.zip (md5sum is 1a64aa4dad42a6360d88b173b0d6a0d8)

Readme has been adjusted for the windows port. Source for the windows port is also included in the zip file.

Changes:
  • Delta: Fixed a makehbc crash.
  • Rewrote all linux-specific stuff to use win32-specific stuff.
  • Drive letter is now required for usage (wbfs_win.exe <drive_letter> <command> [argument]).
  • Commands have more user-friendly names instead of their linux counterparts.
  • Added an 'estimate' command so you can estimate the size that an iso image will take up on a usb drive.
  • init command has a 'nice' warning on it so people don't break partitions on accident (at least I hope).
  • Minor fixes & changes to the code to improve it (the linux version seems to leak quite a few resources, not really noticable though).
Notes:
  • makehbc, extract commands very untested. May not work (yet).
I've had several people test this port and it appears to be working good, for init/adding at least.



This is probably strange to be seeing this from a completely new user, if you're dubious, scan the executable or build the source yourself (will require openssl libraries built yourself though).

OLD VERSIONS:
