I was expecting a simple fat32 solution, wbfs, it seems really some hardwork went into this...

cleaning my 4gb usb flash disc to try it on my pardus linux...

I know this might be the wrong place/time but a quick question. What exactly is "DIP" I am trying to actually understand my technology rather than just always blindly following guides, annd others word. Please dumb it down if possible. Meanwhile I am still waiting on an official release so no rush

 

[Cooler89]

dip 3 will be needed to load or install games on the usb loader...if you dont install it i dont think it will work.. now we need someone to compile the WBFS it for windows

Thanks for the direct link, SpongeFreak!

Awesome, thanks for compiling it for me (total noob with that stuff) now time to boot up the wife's laptop with ubuntu and see if I can figure it out.

I'm going to wait for the official release

 

[Joey90]

So, Kwiirk has released his part of the package. I wonder if waninkoko is part of this or not...

Either way, it would be cool if people could get it to run.

Although it would be even cooler if waninkoko would release properly.*

*Though that would involve lots of bugtesting, so is unlikely to be imminent.

Can wbfs be compiled on mac os x?

 

[Pippin666]

the leaked version you are using has the white guy with the afro, right?

it's had all the USB2 stuff removed from it, so it's not calling the USB2 cIOS, and can't load a HD.

Just wait. It was a leak by marcan or bushing to get people pissed off that it's not working, since it can't.

Just delete it, and wait for a real release.

These 2 guys again doing stuff in order to piss people out, and you want the users here to not flame at them??? WOW...

BTW what leaked thing are you talking about??

Don't believe in this non-sense. Marcan and Bushing have better things to do.

So the idea is to transfer your ISOs to the HDD using the tool, then run ./wbfs mkhbc which creates individual game entries which can be run in HBC, yes? An interesting way to do it - I guess the boot.dols that are created contain the loader and a direct link to the game location on the HDD.

my question. is windows users will be not be able to use this tool to format there hard drive...

 

[koji2009]

hmm... everytime I try to use it, it says -p isn't a proper arguement... I try using ./wbfs -p $PART init just like it's written in the txt file... And yes I created an unformatted partition named PART for this... wbfs gives a list of commands (including -p) but whenever I try to use it, it says it isn't a valid arguement

Bah guess I'll just have to wait.

strange, what pelago said sounds alot like EBOOT.pbp (essentially a psp boot.dol) used for converted ps1 games to run on a psp (and of course other emulators/ homebrew). convert the ps1 game, place it in 'X:\psp\game\your_game\EBOOT.pbp' and then load it from the psp game menu.

if its a multiple game disc like a few ps1 games in the final fantasy series, the games would be created in seperate EBOOTs like the different discs ready to be used when needed. although there was a special program needed to carry on a save from multiple discs.

of course, that sorta crap can only happen on a psp with custom firmware.

which raises another point. surely there will be custom firmwares popping up sometime in the future

once that happens, like arm the homeless said once i'm sure, an update can be made directly from him using the official update on the wii, this then prevents all the worry about stupid cIOS removal updates and stuff from nintendo

sorry if i blabbed a bit there lol

You're not supposed to write $PART literally, but the path to the partition. For example in my case it's /dev/sdd1 as in the first partition of the fourth (d) disc. $PART would be interpreted by BASH as a string var named PART.

Exactly, check:

[Pippin666]

Can someone make a tutorial please?

 

[Cooler89]

what can the windows user do to format there hard drive.. this tool is only for linux..

Boo. I got the USB loader to read the game list, but I got "USB mode cannot be set" error.

But looks like Wanin go the real version out now
