Hacking Wii backup Manager for Windows

hdhacker · Apr 17, 2011

I dumped the games from a WBFS partition to a FAT32 partition as wbfs files. Everything is fine, but the folder names are the internal names, not the wiitdb names. Is there a function to rename all the folders? Do the folders have to match the internal game name?

Sorry if this is obvious, but I can't find how to do this.

EDIT: Duh! It figures. I search for an hour and give up. Then 5 mins after posting, I find the answer.

Hello, it would be possible that you take on some information from the WiiTDB with the export templates eg

or
EN, FR, DE ?

Here's an example

Is it possible to integrate information from the WiiTDB with xml export so that the script eg Exel, the age is as listed or with the language?

My 500GB Hard drive is currently WBFS filesystem, and I want to create two partitions. One 300GB partition for games, and another 200GB partiton for everything else. I have an extra hard drive to backup my games to, but only if they are in .wbfs format. Will Wii Backup Manager mov.wbfs files to my WBFS formatted hard drive?

I have a little problem here with the Disc.info.
Since I usually transfer one or two games at a time, so I find out there always some free space between each one or two games.( I accidentally click on the defrag button when I selected on my FAT32 Wii partition, and it takes really really really long time to defrag the whole drive.) Then I find out on the HDD, the disc.info always move to the cluster/block(I don't what it is called) of after Game/Games each time I transfer, After I made another transfer, the disc.info move back again(I use O&O defrag to observe), Is there anyway to prevent this?

this is without a doubt the best WBFS manager out there. very fast and lightweight but also very robust in features. thanks!

Hi, I'm using FAT32 as the file system on my HDD, so I can't add files larger than 4gb. I added a few backups to it, one of them was below 4gb as an iso and it played fine, but the two others I tried to add were all black and white when I tried to play them, and they were larger than 4gb iso's. I tried using WBFS split style as 4gb and that's what happened, I'm currently trying it with the Auto option. The files are also only about 3.5gb each as WBFS, is that wrong?

Is there a way to include the Filename in an exported game list? I checked the available export templates, but couldn't find a %Filename% example. I tried using %Filename% and %FileName%, but those don't seem to be valid variable names.

After stating that I really enjoy WBM and am very thankful for it, I have 3 suggestions/wishes for WBM more or less related to my question.
- an option to rename files, based on WiiTDB data, without transfering the files
- an option to perform the renaming in a flexible way, using header names (like the variable names in the template files)
- include the "languages" value as available in wiitdb.xml

Greets,

Hi guys. I've tried to edit some titles in my collection with Wii Backup Manager. After completing the edits, I've rebooted the app. and I'm getting this ever since for the edited titles:

X WBFSPartition.OpenForHandle [*space*] Invalid Partition Header [*space*] Not a WBFS partition

Is there anyway to fix this? Thanks in advance.

I guess I fell asleep. I just recently found out about making your own export templates! That is a great feature. I can't believe how much you put into this.

Wii Backup Manager is Elegant, Comprehensive, and the single most useful windows utility for the Wii there is.

Cataloging my games is important to me. CSV output is totally useless but I was able to make my own tab-delimited format that works perfectly! As well as some great web page templates.

Playing with the export templates is almost as fun as playing with myself lol.

Thanks again

hasn't been any updates in a while now.
hoping the gc stuff gets implemented soon.
i would like everything on one drive and would like this app to do it all.
thanks again for an excellent utility.

Once your drive is loaded just go to

Tools > Titles > Rename All

No need to transfer them or anything it will update all titles according to the titles used by wiitdb

Also in the titles tab in the settings you can select

Use Wiitdb titles for file and folder names and it will rename all your folder or files as well.

it works fine for me.

What build of the program are you using?

Maybe a firewall is blocking it on your end.
