Yes we are using a slightly modified version of the binary, is this latest source posted somewhere?

Not sure, guess he just sent it so I could read through his final changes and test that it worked. I just did a diff now to the original and actually there are no important/significant changes in the version I got at least, we'll just see when there is a new release.
 
This is compiled using 10.4 as a min spec, so hopefully it will work on 10.4.x.

It's also compiled as a Universal Binary.

Let me know if it works, don't have much time to test it right now.

Code: 
$ file wbfs
wbfs: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures
wbfs (for architecture ppc):ÂÂÂÂMach-O executable ppc
wbfs (for architecture i386):ÂÂÂÂMach-O executable i386

$ ./wbfs 
Usage: ./wbfs [-d disk|-p partition]
ÂÂÂÂ ls 
ÂÂÂÂ df 
ÂÂÂÂ mkhbc 
ÂÂÂÂ init 
ÂÂÂÂ add (file|id)
ÂÂÂÂ rm (file|id)
ÂÂÂÂ extract (file|id)
 
Ummm....heh...well.

Our app is like only 10.5, intel

We can do it as a Uni, but 10.4 is right out...sorry

unless om_ wanys to deal with it, but I'm gonna go out on a muh-fukkin limb here on his behalf and say, in the words of Helen Parr...

UPDATE: Yeah...we're gonna pass on 10.4; sorry.

Thanks so much! Really appreciate compiling it for 10.4.
 
Well, I think so. I am trying to get the partition to mount so that I can actually work with it. I really don't know any command-line so I'm just looking it up. Right now I'm trying sudo mount -t wbfs /dev/disk1s3 /Volumes/Wii after using mkdir /volumes/wii but it is saying mount: exec /usr/sbin/mount_wbfs for /Volumes/Wii: No such file or directory

Looks like you have missmatched cases (Volumes as opposed to volumes, Wii as opposed to wii). Where did you get mount_wbfs from?
 
Is autodetecting the WBFS filesystem possible, and if it is, is it implemented in the GUI of yours? Looks great so far, definitely better than the windows counterparts.. Very mac-ish indeed. What are you gonna do with the blue sidebar? Actual use or just for the looks?

This program does not allow you to mount the wbfs partition. That is currently not possible. You add games with the command line:

to setup partition on /dev/disk1s2 (yours will likely be different!!):
./wbfs -p /dev/disk1s2 init

to add an iso:
./wbfs -p /dev/disk1s2 add /path/to/iso

As a matter of fact it does auto detect

Trying to get my (5.5G) iPod working...

/wbfs -p /dev/rdisk1s2 init
error seeking in disc file: Invalid argument

Any suggestions? The USB Loader sees it, lets me choose a partition, then doesn't appear to actually partition it. Interestingly, when it was HFS+ partitioned, the loader saw it, but thought it had four partitions on it, none of which it would let me format.

I suspect it's something to do with the controller in the iPod, rather than anything wrong with any of the programs...

EDIT: Yeah, controller differences. The compatibility list has a working 30GB iPod, which misled me somewhat. Wonder if that was genuinely working, or he was just mistaken...

Great! Thanks man, i'll test this later today. Apple applications always look so much more user friendly :/

Oh it could have looked less nice and have been a LOT less user friendly and been done over a day ago.

We're aliens and that is NOT how we roll. Hopefully people find it useful. There are some changes I have on my "list" to make it a bit less crap
