Hacking Read fro a WBFS Partition?

[Zeek03]

Ok. I'm Running Windows XP and I want to open my WBFS Partition on my flash drive from Waninikoko's ISO USB Loader. I'm going to upgrade to a bigger storage device and I dont want to have to redump all those games again. When I attempt to open it, it tells me to format. Any Help?

 

[Ozz465]

read the main page here man , theres like 2+ thread with apps for this.

Grab the WFBS tool and use it to extract the isos.

 

[Zeek03]

I dont understand how to use those tools. I just want a simple browser. Any help?

 

[The_Hulkster]

It's not that hard to use command prompt.
Think it's your only real option for now.

 

[Zeek03]

Which one do I use? (Link plz) I just want to browse my flash drive.

 

[The_Hulkster]

The WFBS tool, it's been ported to Windows.

You won't be able to actually browse it windows-style but you can see which games are installed and extract them by using the right commands. Just follow the guide provided with the tool.

someone is bound to make a GUI ver of this. I love command prompt as much as the next guy that used to run DOS. But this is 2009.

Command prompt isn't that bad and also if you think about as fast as the port came to windows you can't complain. I admit there will probably be a gui but hey cmd prompt isn't all that bad. Beggars can't be choosers. The tool does its job.

Use the following text and make a batch file to put in the same folder as wbfs_win.exe

CODE@echo off
TITLE WBFS Tool
echo WBFS Tool
echo.
echo.
echo Enter the drive letter, Ex. G
set /p var1=
:menu
cls
echo WBFS Tool
echo.
echo.
echo MENU
echo ====
echo.
echo Drive currently set to %var1%:\
echo.
echo 1 - Format drive to WBFS
echo 2 - List disc titles
echo 3 - Dump title from USB
echo 4 - Remove title from USB
echo 5 - Add ISO to partition
echo 6 - Drive info
echo.
echo 7 - Change drive letter
echo 8 - Quit
choice /c:12345678>nul
if errorlevel 8 goto done
if errorlevel 7 goto change
if errorlevel 6 goto info
if errorlevel 5 goto add
if errorlevel 4 goto remove
if errorlevel 3 goto dump
if errorlevel 2 goto list
if errorlevel 1 goto format
echo CHOICE missing
goto done

:format
wbfs_win.exe %var1% init
pause
goto menu

:list
wbfs_win.exe %var1% list
pause
goto menu

:dump
echo Disc id?
set /p var2=
wbfs_win.exe %var1% extract %var2%
pause
goto menu

:remove
echo Disc id?
set /p var2=
wbfs_win.exe %var1% remove %var2%
pause
goto menu

:add
echo ISO File path (or name if in same folder)?
set /p var3=
wbfs_win.exe %var1% add %var3%
pause
goto menu

:change
echo New drive letter? Ex. G
set /p var1=
pause
goto menu

:info
wbfs_win.exe %var1% info
pause
goto menu

:done

Put the above text in notepad and save as wbfs_win.bat
open the .bat file and it has an easy to use text interface

 

[Stang]

Cmd is not my specialty, but damn......you only need two commands!

wbfs_win.exe init

wbfs_win.exe add blah.iso

 

[moosh01]

I uploaded the bat file here is the linkwbfs windows bat file

 

[Arek1985]

wow i remember .bat files back from when i played a lot of dos games. now it's even simpler for those having trouble with command prompt.

Anyone who's half decent with a computer should be fine with command prompt, if not you really shouldn't be hacking and exploiting your wii.

 

[Segatron]

Command prompt based

GUI based

A GUI *might* be simpler if you are doing something once or twice but for repetitive tasks the command line rules, even in 2009.

How would you use a GUI to take 50 ISOs and rename each one to remove spaces from the filename?

As accurate as the analogy is, there are apps that will batch rename files. Even recursively.

I also very much agree with this:
