Hacking a 'real' wbfs windows port

[OuahOuah]

H: formated as RAW in Win Vista.
wbfs h init => ok
But when add an iso, it tells me :

wbfs windows port build 'delta'

adding RZ9PG9 Family Party: 30 Great Games...
error writing hd sector: No error

And then Windows tells me to format the H partition

Init is ok, but not adding.
Any idea ?
Primary partition, no logical...

How long does it take to format? The program doesn't work, so I just use Run>c:\WBFS\wbfs_win.exe E init, and it says y/n etc. Been waiting for about 10 minutes now. Something went wrong?

OuahOuah - Try disconnecting your usbdrive and reconnect it again, then try to add an iso. I get that errormessage or something like that from time to time but it resolves itself when i reconnect the device.

FlamingBalls - for me it finished in a sec or two. Make sure you've got a primary partition and if you're running vista make sure you're running cmd as administrator

I really wonder anyone DID successfully get the created wbfs recognized by the usb loader !!

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 [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:

• wbfs_win_gamma.zip (md5sum is 451be22707128857d6f501b007623430)

Thank you!

Works great and plays fine.

i keep seing all these "works great" etc. but no one wants to reply to those of us who can't get usb loader to recognize the hdd....i successfully loaded 3 games to this wbfs formated partition of my hdd and usb loader doesn't even see the partition at all, same issue as may others....any ideas please....

Made a small batch file for this until someone releases a nicer GUI. Make sure wbfs_win.exe is in the same folder. Haven't coded anything in .bat other than shutdown scripts, so please be nice.

thanks segatron that bat file was the key for me

@segatron

Looks like you beat me to it. That's very nicely done, and a lot more polished than mine currently is.

I have a lot of ISOs, so I wanted to be able to add them all at the same time. I did it using a command like this:

for %%a in (%varX%\*.iso) DO wbfs_win.exe %var1% add "%%a"

where varX would be the location of the folder containing the ISOs. (The closest var you use is 3, which points to an actual ISO file). If you want to add an option to batch add it would be cool. I was able to import all my ISOs in one easy step.

Once again, good job with the batch file.
