Hacking Joyflow a mod of wiiflow

[WiiUBricker]

what's so great about the WBFS format anyway?

It's nothing compared to original discs, right?

 

[scooby74029]

well for me i store all my games as .wbfs so the fact that i wouldnt have to change them back to iso then discex them for sneek would be the point for me anyway

they take up less space on my hd as .wbfs rather than .iso

By itself? Not much. In fact, I'd say that if anything, there could be more than a few interesting advantages to discex's file structure.

The thing is...I'm not exactly lazy, but converting my whole library from .wbfs to .iso and then into discex's format isn't my idea of spending a happy afternoon. If I could batch-convert the format, I'd consider it. But as it is...sorry, but I'd rather wait for support for what I already have.


EDIT: forgot about the file size. Can't give much comparison, though (I don't know which format is the smaller one).

Doesn't Modmii's Bulk game extractor do that? You can direct it to a folder and it scans subfolders too. ISO and WBFS format are supported

EDIT: Scoob, thanks for the forwarder

You're in luck! wit.exe is able to convert wbfs files directly to s\uneek+di format. So you don't need to go from wbfs-->iso-->sneek format, u can just go from wbfs-->sneek format.

And you're in even more luck! ModMii has a feature (using wit) that will batch convert all the Wii ISO's, Wii cISO's, and wbfs files found in the folder of your choice and batch convert them ALL to s\uneek+di format

Also, the sparsed iso's, wbfs files and s/uneek+di format all take up approximately the same amount of space. ModMii won't let u begin batch conversions if you don't have enough free space on the target directory of your choosing

That being said... I still use wbfs files for the vast majority of my games, but at least now you know what options you have available to you

DiscEx format only works on FAT32 drives and only SNEEK/UNEEK supports this format ---> bad.

 

[OverjoY]

DiscEx is upto 50% smaller than wbfs

DiscEx is upto 50% smaller than wbfs

Not if you completly remove the update partition of wbfs files. Then there are only game data (I think).

Then DiscEx is about 0.2% smaller

Does Joyflow play Wiiware / VC games? If so, does it show games that are installed on the NAND but not on the System Menu (due to channel limit) ?

 

[scooby74029]

yeah it will show all games(wiiware/vc) that is installed on your emulated nand

Thanks for the quick reply. Got it installed, so far so good !!!

 

[scooby74029]

i think on the page before this one there is also a forwarder channel too just to let you know

Perhaps it's a good idea to add the link to the forwarder on the first post, scooby. It'll get more attention there.

And I'm also reporting in my first crashes with joyflow. Don't worry: it's only when I try to import the settings of my regular wiiflow. Considering I was using wiiflow-222 (and Hermes's cIOS don't work on uneek), this was probably to be expected. But thus far any theme but the default one seems to be a no-go. Haven't tried anything but the default, so...is it possible to use any other theme?

 

[scooby74029]

i dont know on the themes i never used one before

give me a link to where i can find some themes and ill do some tests and see if i can get them to work

@hellboy

would you mind sharing your forwarder or channel and the themes you have I would like to post them on the first post if that is ok with you

I really like the way that looked i would use that one

Your forwarder works for me Scoob, thanks again. I too would also like to try Hellboys forwarder. This is moving in leaps and bounds and IM LOVIN' IT!!!

 

[scooby74029]

i know i hope that other devs get into making loaders compatible with s/uneek
