Hacking cIOS USB beta3 (IOS222) + WBFS Tool

[mousex]

I'm not at a computer right know but did nobody try to compile it on cygwin? Dd works on windows, libssl, too.

I formatted my HDD through USB Loader on the Wii, and I've installed games to it through the Wii too.
Now I'd like to learn how to put the game on through Linux instead.
Anyone care to give me a quick step-by-step for it?
Do I just load up a Linux Live CD and then copy the iso files to the HDD or do I need to use this program?
Is the program just for formatting the disc or for all actions with the disc?

As long as your Wii already has usb2 functionality of some sort installed then you don't really need a new version

I'm having trouble with the wbfs tool.
I booted up a Knoppix live CD and I can find the file alright, but when I try to use it I get Permission Denied.
I'm running as root already so I don't know what to do here.
No one has compiled a windows version yet have they?

 

[hyp3rlink]

can we tell the size of wbfs for a particular iso before dumping it? I have a spare 2gb usb and would like to give it a try on HotD.

 

[slashi]

Does the wbfs tool work with a stick formatted with USB loader 1.0 on the Wii ?

I always get permission denied when trying to add (as root)

edit: I did a new init and now adding isos seems to work.

 

[ds22]

Maybe this has been asked before but, can i use CoLinux to run the WBFS Tool?

 

[DarkCamui]

Used the fixed binary from cios_usb2_usbloader.tar.bz2 in a virtual Ubuntu in VMWare and I typed :

./wbfs -p /dev/sdb add

because the init thing didn't work and it worked just fine for me with Brawl. Though the dev/sdb path might me something else for others. It's a shame that he had to make his own filesystem though because the WBFS isn't recognized in Windows and can't even be used to store anything else besides Wii isos.

 

[Cypherdias]

I am wondering if there is a way to convert the wbfs-converted file back to iso format.

You can't do anything with wbfs files right now, besides creating them. You cannot transfer them to your external HDD (unimplemented feature - so it is about to be coming soon) and not recreating to ISO format either. The WBFS tool only allows to copy ISOs (not WBFS files) to the HDD (add command) and to copy it back to the PC (extract command), besides removing and listing of files.

 

[spiritofcat]

I get permission denied whenever I try to run wbfs to do any of this.

Here's what my command line looks like:

[/mnt/sdb1]# ./wbfs -p /dev/sda1 init
bash: ./wbfs: Permission denied
[/mnt/sdb1]# ./wbfs -p /dev/sda1 add Brawl.iso
bash: ./wbfs: Permission denied
[/mnt/sdb1]# ./wbfs
bash: ./wbfs: Permission denied
[/mnt/sdb1]#


I'm logged in as root, what else do I need to do to make this work?
I've tried it with liveCDs of both Knoppix and DSL.

cheers




ust launch in command prompt and use same commands as linux one

 

[Cypherdias]

Are you shure that sda1 is your external USB HDD WBFS partition? Think it is the internal system partition on my linux... (I'm not a linux pro though - so sorry if this is a silly question).

 

[fryguy]

@spiritofcat: try chmod 755 filename (or is it chmod filename 755?)

Well, the cat is out of the bag, there's no going back, so i'm giving a little back to the community...

The only "special" library needed to compile wbfs is openssl, so it was pretty trivial to do it. Usage instructions are included on the readme file. If anyone wants to go thru the hassle of compiling it, you just need gcc, make and libssl-dev.

Thanks, Kwiirk!

your compiled is BUGGED.

Thanks a million for that windows program link.
I'll try that out now.
