move_files.sh does rename all .iso files in a folder if you change it a bit, see my previous post about it.
About the compressed files error: How much is your drive fragmented? I didn't test compressed files, yet but this is an error which also occours if your dirve is too much fragmented.
I m on windows, so i cant use the sh file, isnt it?

Drive is nearly unfragmented (very good defrag tool

)

BTW ntfs compressed my files are 1.02TB, uncompressed 2,01TB
maybe this gives a hint, why I like to keep them ntfs compressed, still able to use wiiscrubber (extract channels, wads and so on) or burning tools, my brothers wii is chipped and he dislikes softmodding

How often do I have to tell these NTFS-compressed-file-lovers that that sparse-iso files have the same size as compressed iso files? Just amke sparse .iso fiels from your isos with wbfs_file, you can keep your 2TB of warez on the drive as 1TB and still play them and also directly burn them and use wii scrubber. Read the damn thread ChaosEnergy.
And as you are on Windows you can use the .bat file instead of the .sh file (yes the one with the same name but with .bat at the ending, I also wrote this on one of the last three pages, is it to much to read at least the last few pages?)

Keep cool man...

I read last 50 pages, maybe I overlooked that post
so it would be easier to point to the posting instead of getting aggressive

also if it gets asked often..why not putting it in 1st post...

Looks Nice, you might want to start your own topic, it may get more attention.

I will probably do that when the app is complete. This originally started out just as a small GUI for wbfs_file and has been growing ever since. I can't believe how many requests ppl have for things

I really really really hope that your GUI manager can do the following :

1. Format WBFS drive
2. Based on wbfs_file.exe. Executing wbfs_file.exe rather than writing your own code. (i.e. being GUI as core)
3. Transfer : ISO -> WBFS drive -> ISO
4. Transfer : ISO -> .wbfs -> WBFS drive -> .wbfs -> ISO
5. Selection like "Games not on drive ..."

There are more to suggest, but the above are the basics.

Thanks you very much indeed.

P.S. I know that being GUI base may limit some functions (like some drive-to-drive transfers), but this make the manager more reliable.

move_dirs.bat script has trouble to run, if it is contained in a folder with a space in name
also it runs into trouble if file name contain character's like !

Love the Configureable USB Loader , wondering if there is a place to download the 3d covers
in a complete upto date set ? Thanks for your time Bud

WiiTDB maintains some. You can see the links on this page.

Great how about full covers ? Thanks Bud

http://www.muntrue.nl also manage zips of all their file types.

a big thanks for your wonderful program just found a few things wrong when im changing the views in the main menu i get to flow-z 1 and press down (i think its the 1 displayed on page 1 on the start of the youtube video) and it puts a green line through the screen or a full green screen and then exits the program

[20:35] need help
[20:35] got my games on an ntfs partition
[20:35] under /WBFS
[20:35] CFG says no games
[20:36] is there a limit to how many files can be on the partition?
[20:36] the partition has a LOT of other files too

copypasta'd from chat.
PLZ help.

There is a limit, but you have not hit it. Not sure what the error is, but its not due to ntfs itself:

Ok, I'm having some issues and if anyone can help me I'd appreciate it.

I've been using a drive formatted wbfs for awhile and its been working great, but I wanted to try ntfs so I didn't have to use wbfs manager to load games on and off.

Now as I understand it, I should be able to format the drive ntfs, drop my games into the wbfs folder (wbfs files) and play with the newest Cfg USB loader.

For some reason though the loader is freezing on the splash screen. I've formatted a couple times, both fast and slow formats, and it's still doing it and I cant figure out why.

Just out of curiosity what is the limit on games on a partition?
is there a limit the Configurable USB Loader will read? Thanks Bud

Ok, I figured it out.

Apparently the windows format tool was the problem. I reformatted using the HP disk formatter and everything is peachy now.

Big thanks to all the programmers who made the cfg usb loader possible!

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    So my opinion is that they could age a bit better in the future, and maybe AMD will continue improving them via drivers like they tend to do. No guarantee there but they have done it in the past. Just a feeling I have.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    cyberpunk at 4k without DLSS/fidelityfx *might* exceed 12gb
    +1
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that game barely runs at native 4k
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think it was some newer games and probably poorly optimized PS4 or PS5 ports
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    they definitely will age better but i feel dlss might outweigh that since it looks about as good as native resolution and much less demanding
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    When I played Cyberpunk on my old 2080 Ti it sucked lol
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    AMD could introduce something comparable to DLSS but nvidia's got a lot more experience with that
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    least amd 7xxx has tensor cores which the previous generations didn't so there is the potential for AI upscaling
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They have FSR or whatever it's called and yeah it's still not great
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so AMD seem to finally be starting to take AI seriously
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Oh yeah those new 8000 CPUs have AI cores built in that's interesting
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Maybe they plan on offloading to the CPU?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Would be kinda cool to have the CPU and GPU working in random more
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Tandem even
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think i heard of that, it's a good idea, shouldn't need a dedicated GPU just to run a LLM or video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the nvidia shield tv has AI video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    LLMs can be run on cpu anyway but it's quite slow
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Have you ever been beaten by a wet spaghetti noodle by your girlfriend because she has a twin sister, and you got confused and fucked her dad?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think nvidia wants to get in the x64 cpu market anyways
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    you've seen how much intel is struggling getting into the gpu market
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and nvidia is already doing ARM
