Hacking Configurable USB Loader

[Sacohen9665]

I'm having problems copying my games from my WBFS partition on my 500GB Western Digital My Book drive (which has a drive letter of H) to the 500GB partition on my Hitachi drive (this has a drive letter of J)

I know a little about DOS and I followed Dr. Clippers tutorial (http://gwht.wikidot.com/wbfs-to-fat-transfer)

I launched a cmd prompt and tested it by typing wbfs_file h: ls and I saw the list of games on my WBFS partition on the WD My Book, when I type the command to copy them which I think should be (wbfs_file h: extract_all_wbfs j nothing happens. it just goes to a blank prompt which is C:\Users\Steve>

Thanks in advance for the help.

Use "wbfs_file h: extract_all_wbfs j:\wbfs"

Thanks. That did it.

You may want to correct your tutorial because it says Run "wbfs_file pname extract_wbfs_all destination" replacing pname and destination, of course.

Yes, it does say that, which is the correct thing

.

I changed it just after making my last post, and I guess you copied the new version without realising I'd fixed it already.

I really hope that ocarina will be upgraded in the next move.

Thanks again, great updates all around. I had a little fun extracting my games and reinstalling them, all new to me, but this is great. Works perfect.

Is there a way to burn the game disc using wbfs game files ?

And a special 222-fat version, which starts with ios=222-mload and partition=FAT1
by default, so that the IOS gets loaded only once in case that's your preferred setup:

SDUSB-Loader_cfg46b-222-fat.dol

YES

Exactly what I needed

Thanks again oggzee!

I've been asked this in another topic - Don't want to give wrong answer even though I presume it's "No"
Hermes is also best used in disk loaders too - yes? - It's needed to get instruments working etc in cfg loader but what about neogamma etc?

Question asked was:

Is the hermes ios only meant for USB loaders?

Thanks for this, the load of FAT partition and games is very fast now!

What is the difference of this special version and the other?
I prefer IOS223 but, if there is a good speed improvement, I can use IOS222...

Is the source of the loader available? Didn't saw it in the archive nor a link, that's why I ask.

How use a HDD 1To with Fat format with Configurable USB loader ?
.... because, fat is limited to 2Go? no ?

Using Fat32Format you can format to 2To.

Are you asking because you're interested in adding fat32 support to some other loader?
If so, I will release the relevant fat32 sources after v46 is released, to give 46b a bit more testing time.

Yes... probably!....
I think your work is very interessing for all others Usb loader ! The problem with WBFS, if you have any problem with a HDD, it's not possible to restore easly with a restore prog. You lost all without return.
... and comparing to a WBFS partition, the speed acces is better ?

 

[oggzee]

... and comparing to a WBFS partition, the speed acces is better ?

It seems to be about the same.

 

[THE_DBX]

I have a question about a multiple WBFS partition :
If it is, how the loader check this. You must select the partition during the beginning of the loader, or the loader display the files directly from the multiple partition ?

I guess it is too hard with my limited knowledge to add it to another loader. I just wanted to know how it exactly works, mess around with it, try to built a stripped down version which works for a game channel. So mostly just playing around

Hi oggzee, at the moment implement the splitted wbfs into my tool wwt. So I have some questions:

- Is the current format stable or are modifications planned? (perhaps moving the files into a sub directory)

- Is the description text file needed for anything or is it only informative?

Please send me the sources of the usb loader again (or commit them).

Greeting, Wiimm

Now it's

usb:/wfbs/GAMEID.wfbs

but it kinda looks jumbled up and messy after many split games are added so maybe changing to

usb:/wfbs/GAMEID/GAMEID.wfbs

so each game gets its own directory. Just makes things simpler when looking at them on a pc, and easier when moving games around.
