Over the past few days, I rewrote my wad packing tool from the ground up. I'm looking for some help testing it and catching bugs.

Changes
-Added unicode support. The program no longer blows up if you throw a Japanese game at it.
-Added option to disable trucha signing. Probably won't be used that often, but for those looking to make a pure backup of their files, you now can.
-Added a region free option. It makes the WAD region free (obviously). It uses the same method as freethewads, so games that don't work with that probably won't work with this.
-A few graphical changes. (Look at the image below)

Soon to be added (hopefully)
-DLC packing. The tool lists DLC, but it can't yet dump it. I need to dig up some Wii Points so I can buy some DLC and examine how it works. Hopefully this'll be added soon.

How to use this
Create a dump of your Wii with the file system dumper. Then stick the SD card in your computer and start this program. You need common-key.bin in the wadtools folder if you want to pack a wad.

If you are having problems, make sure you're using the latest version

FGOD: Nothing in particular to test, just let me know if anything doesn't work.

Fission: Thanks, I'll look into that.

Make sure FM20.DLL is in the same folder as tf_wad_packer.exe. If it is and you still get this error, try moving it to C:\Windows\system32 and doing the following:
Bringing up the Run window (Windows key+R) and typing: 'regsvr32 C:\Windows\system32\FM20.DLL', without the 's and hitting OK.
 
Dear trent_fox. I really like the work you did! Thanks. It's pretty handy.

I just want to ask if it's possible for you, to add an option which can unpatch isos that were previewsly patched with the backup creator.

I'd just assume he is referring to un-region freeing something back to the original region?
Though, it's more wishful thinking on my part than assuming... (hahaha)
Just 'cause, you know, sometimes people don't realize what they say/write/type before posting. xD.

I actually think he wants someway to create the original ISO out of a game that was run thru the backup creator. That has nothing to do with this program, so sorry mate but I doubt it'll ever be added.

Resetting the region on region freed games is easy to do tho. I'll probably add that to the next version.

Can either of you redownload and try again? I'm not going to lie, I didn't fix anything, but it'll now give you an error that'll be a lot more useful now.
