Is it in the wadtools folder and is it named exactly "common-key.bin" ?

This tool has worked for me in the past, but it's not working with an NTSC-J game I'm trying to dump now. The problem is that, even though it goes through the whole process and says everything worked properly, the *.WAD is not actually created.

I think the issue is that the WAD it's creating has a title of characters unsupported by my system as filenames. I'll attach the tf_debug.log here

Suggestions?

GhostFaceLoser and loesjoel, put this EXE in the folder with tf_wad_packer.exe and run it instead:
http://foxingworth.com/wii/tf_wad_packer_tempfix.zip

GhostFaceLoser: This'll remove the common-key.bin check. I'm almost certain you are mistaken about having it in the proper place, but this one won't check regardless and let you run it anyway. If it says that its finished and you can't find an output wad, then the wad packing tools couldn't find it either. Remember: the common-key.bin goes into the wadtools folder, not the same folder as tf_wad_pakcer.exe!

loesjoel: This will simply output all the wads as "output.wad." Until I get a better solution to the problem, this'll atleast let you dump.

Thanks for that.

Not quite sure which is faulty - the fs dumper or the wadpacker.

My tickets are screwy and fails to reinstall

 

[trent_fox]

That ticket doesn't appear to be bad. It may look like a bunch of garbage, but it's actually an encrypted signature.

What error are you getting exactly? The only suggestion I have is to make sure you have the latest version of my packer. Even if you think you do, try redownloading from the link in the first post again and overwriting everything.

 

[megabug7]

Thanks for your reply.

I get error (Ret -4100) when trying to reinstall.

Tickets are fine with custom channels just not with bought ones.

I have the latest version of the packer - I downloaded it yesterday.

 

[DJPlace]

ok i'm going try it thanks.

edit: thanks it works!! now i got some kick @$$ wads thanks again!!

Hi folks!

Can I use this tool to backup my original/purchased WiiWare/VC titles, then format my Wii memory, then finally reinstall my channels back?
