Okay..
So I'm nearly at the point of wanting to chuck my Wii and my computer out of the window. I've spent multiple hours trying to get multiple different WBFS managers to work for Linux.. Some will load the games onto it, some wont and end up crashing, some will format the partition into wbfs - some will format it into FAT32 with a folder in it called "WBFS" (which is readable by the Wii, but havent been able to get my games working) -
So seems how people don't really want to put out a good enough tutorial or extensive enough one to cover Linux users,
I'm here complaining because I feel almost lost with this. Some of you don't seem to understand ​I HAVE NO WINDOWS COMPUTER...​
When I try to extract games from my old wbfs partition with ​Wilmms wbfs​ it gave me "Error, not a valid wbfs partition" and now that I actually used the ​Wii backup manager build 78​ from ​wiibackupmanager.tk​ the thing doesnt even read my wbfs partition as being a real partition at all - doesnt even load the list of games unless i only use the Wii Backup Manager - I've tried pointing the Wilmms tool to the directory where all my wbfs games are, but it still wont read it. If I can express myself openly, I'm pretty upset that there seems to be such a lack of actually good and working Wii Backup Managers for Linux - do people not see that WINE doesn't exactly work like its supposed to? And nobody bothers to put up a tutorial for how to use any of these programs through WINE.. so I feel honestly like this gaming community has no idea what to do when it comes to Linux users, either that or everyone is just being silent as I'm sitting here busting my butt on trying to learn on how to do all of this.
​HELP A NOOB OUT...For Godssake. Don't point me to a sticky thread, dont send me to an off site guide, HELP ME ON HERE... at this point I can't even extract my wii games off my drive to reformat to another different partition....​
