Hacking wwt+wit: Wiimms WBFS+ISO Tools

Alopexau · Jul 4, 2019

As well as WIT breaking the apploader in Rogue Leader previously mentioned, I seem to be unable to scrub Gamecube ISOs in WIT 3.02a. It works just fine in 3.01a but the last release gives me the following error on any GC game:

!! wit: ERROR #126 [FATAL ERROR] in wd_read_part() @ src/libwbfs/wiidisc.c#865
!! ASSERTION FAILED !!!

I'm getting that same issue...

I'm just trying to compress down a full 1:1 Gamecube ISO to a CISO file so it doesn't take up as much space on my Wii's hard drive.

wit fails to build with CFLAGS="-fno-common".
gcc-10 and above flipped a default from -fcommon to -fno-common, see gcc bug 85678.

This patch seems to fix the error:

Hi. Thank you for this awesome tool. Do you plan to support RVZ format? Thank you.

I'd like to share the solution I found for Another Code R crashing at the title screen. I wanted to add a few files to the game so that I could use a code to make the game read that file instead and keep the original files still present in the game. For instance. Converting iso to wbfs works, but extracting and then rebuilding is where it fails.

The rebuilt wbfs file seems to have no issues, I can extract files from it from Dolphin normally and the extracted files match the originals.
Yet it always crashes when booted in Dolphin or Wii, it goes as far as the title screen.

So I checked every file that gets loaded at boot and eventually found a file called MEMORY.dat, this file gets copied to memory at start, it contains a few text strings so it differs between languages. The file path depends on the system language set. (REVOLUTION/LANG/ENG/SCRIPT/)

Basically what I did was replace this file with the one from another language that works and the game didn't crash!
In order to keep those strings in the language I want, I had to expand the original file (by appending 00s to the end of the file.)
I still haven't finished the game like this so I can't guarantee this is the only problem area. And it unfortunately doesn't tell me anything about why wit is failing.

Unrelated, this game is single layer but it exceeds 3.99 GB so it has to be split for fat32 drives, but if you remove the unused video files(FlashBackSample.thp, output.thp) and lower the sample rate of at least one song (STRM_BGM_15 sucks) you can bring it to just under 3.98 GB

@Wiimm (or anyone else that may know the answer),
The following command works using an older version of wit.exe (wit: Wiimms ISO Tool v2.01a r3138 cygwin - Dirk Clemens - 2011-10-27).

Code:

wit x --neek --recurse "%ISOFOLDER%" --DEST "%DRIVE%"/games/%%I --progress

I'm now using the latest version (wit: Wiimms ISO Tool v3.03a r8245 cygwin - Dirk Clemens - 2020-08-03), and using the same command no longer works, and I get the following error

Code:

*****  wit: Wiimms ISO Tool v3.03a r8245 cygwin - Dirk Clemens - 2020-08-03  *****
!! wit: ERROR #108 [SYNTAX ERROR] in cmd_extract() @ src/wit.c#2830
!!      Syntax:
!!         wit EXTRACT source dest
!!         wit EXTRACT [[--source|--recurse] source]... [-d|-D] dest

I'm fairly certain I'm doing something wrong and there's nothing wrong with wit, but if someone can help me tweak the old command to accomplish the same thing using the latest wit I would greatly appreciate it!

Thanks!

Edit: I'm still curious but I got everything working with an older version anyway so will probably just leave it that way

Hi, first post I'm ever doing on this site.

I'm currently trying to extract all files and folders from the Smash Bros Brawl PAL Iso file, with the WIT tool.
Every time I activate it through cmd, I type in this command line:

wit extract RSBP01.iso --dest=Smash/

Smash is a folder on my desktop with the iso inside. When I press enter though, I get:

ERROR #76: Can't open RSBP01.iso

Edit: [RESOLVED]

How come wfuse is missing in the latest version?

@All
In the last few years I have only visited GBAtemp very seldom. That's why I only saw all the error messages today. I will go through these one by one over the next few days.

Curious. Anyway, I would change the quotes to "%DRIVE%/games/%%I" (don't know, what %%I is exactly).

EDIT:
If you have installed my SZS tools to, then you can test the param transfer if replacing "wit" by "wszst argtest". I plan to add the ARGTEST command to wit and wwt.

Just wanted to report that in version 2.00b the following command works, as per the documentation:

Code:

wit extract --source "C:\Games\Game.wbfs" --dest "C:\Games" --files +/sys/main.dol --overwrite --flat

However in the current version (3.04a) the same command produces a syntax error:

Code:

*****  wit: Wiimms ISO Tool v3.04a r8427 cygwin32 - Dirk Clemens - 2021-04-18  *****
!! wit: ERROR #108 [SYNTAX ERROR] in cmd_extract() @ src/wit.c#3037
!!      Syntax:
!!         wit EXTRACT source dest
!!         wit EXTRACT [[--source|--recurse] source]... [-d|-D] dest

To workaround it I must remove the --source and --dest options:

Code:

wit extract "C:\Games\Game.wbfs" "C:\Games" --files +/sys/main.dol --overwrite --flat

Running it on Windows 7 from command prompt.

NoobletCheese · Apr 23, 2021

Also 3.04a's /bin/titles.txt doesn't have Mario Kart Wii in it (RMCE01) but the old version does.

edit: calling wit gettitles and wit titles >out.txt is still missing RMCE01.

edit2: oh we can just get it straight from gametdb.com/titles.txt (which contains RMCE01)

Nice! I suspect this may also solve my issue from above, but I haven't been able to confirm yet

Can I use these tools for games other than Mario Kart? I downloaded and installed the Linux x64 wit and wstrt tools, and I can extract the main.dol for Paper Mario: TTYD using wit extract, but when I try to analyze it (wstrt analyze main.dol), I get this message: "unknown main.dol found." When I try to patch the .dol with a .gct file (wstrt patch main.dol --add-section G8ME01gct), I get this message: "main.dol not modified."

What am I doing wrong, or is what I'm trying to do not possible for Paper Mario TTYD?

FancyNintendoGamer567 · Apr 28, 2021

First off, WIT doesn't work very well for GC games, and second, for GC games, iirc it is called Start.dol, not main.dol.

Nope. If you extract a Gamecube .iso using Dolphin, you'll get a Start.dol, and the same thing will happen if you use GCRebuilder to extract it. If you use wit, however, it will produce a main.dol. I just did it now with a Paper Mario TTYD .iso to confirm that. Is that not how it's supposed to work? What are my options for patching the .dol file without using wit tools, if they don't work well with Gamecube games?
