Hello.

Does Wi Backup Manager support GC games ? Can it be used to put GC games on your external HDD ?

No,only for Wii Games.

You have to put them one by one in Extra Folders per Game and named with the ID and the Name.
@Randall_Adams here made a Tool for renaming the GameCube Games to the correct Format:

Interesting, his comes with a cover pack that matches the renamed files

Edit: but still generally I'm not pro youtube guides

It is a simple batch script:

@ECHO OFF
CLS
MD games
forfiles /m *.iso /c "cmd /c md games\@fname"
forfiles /m *.iso /c "cmd /c move @file games\@fname"
forfiles /s /m *.iso /c "cmd /c ren @file game.iso"

There is one flaw though....it does not take into account multi disc games....

Here's another tool for manage Nintendo GameCube backups in *.iso format, its name is GCIT (GameCube ISO Tool), it's made by the same creators of Wii Backup Manager, here's the link:

Is there any tutorials for this gcit tool ?

So lets say I have my GC ISOs in a folder called GC_ISOS ... Is this the command to convert them all into nintendont format:

gcit GC_ISOS -F FullISO -D g:/games/

And this gives me: g:/games/gamefolder/game.iso

Am I getting this right ?

What if there are multi-disc games.....then what ?

Copy your GameCube games to the /games/ directory. Subdirectories are optional for 1-disc games in ISO/GCM and CISO format.

For 2-disc games, you should create a subdirectory /games/MYGAME/ (where MYGAME can be anything), then name disc 1 as "game.iso" and disc 2 as "disc2.iso".
For extracted FST, the FST must be located in a subdirectory, e.g. /games/FSTgame/sys/boot.bin

Oh...Every guide I read said that it should be like drive:/games/GameFolder/game.iso

But now I realize you can put the ISOs under the games folder ... like: drive:/games/GameName.iso

The subdirectory is only needed for multi-disc games....

This saves a lot of headache....
