Hacking running games from ntfs

[bert02]

iv done some searching but its too many common words to get the answer im looking for

basicly i want to run my games off an ntfs drive
i see i need to convert my isos to wbfs but where do i get this program to convert and whats its called
and have read i have to use hermes cios 222
also put the games in a folder called wbfs (lower case and in the root of the drive)
is there anything else i need

after goggling i eventually found 1 page that linked to this forum with some info on a tool wbfs 1.5 but it was in a wii scrubber thread will this work it also says about splitting into 2gb partitions if im running it on ntfs can i not split it

I've used this one for transfers to a FAT32 drive, but should work for NTFS too i think

CFG loader? In release notes:

"libntfs however doesn't seem stable enough for write access at the moment, so the ntfs partition is mounted read-only meaning install and remove can't be done from inside the loader for now."

ah ok thanks saved me alot of stuffing around converting etc to use a ntfs drive when i cant rip 2 it ill stick with my wbfs then


also with wbfs_file.exe 1.5 it says in the read me

FAQ:

Q: Can I extract all the games from a WBFS partition to .wbfs files?
A: Yes, use this command:
wbfs_file.exe W: extract_wbfs_all D:\wbfs
Where W: is your WBFS partition and D:\wbfs is the FAT partition on USB
(or any kind of filesystem on a local hard-disk)

Q: How to copy all .wbfs files back to a WBFS partition?
A: Open up CMD where your .wbfs files are and run:
for %i in (*.wbfs) do wbfs_file.exe W: add_wbfs "%i"

Q: How to convert all the .iso files to .wbfs files?
A: Open up CMD where your iso files are and run:
for %i in (*.iso) do wbfs_file.exe "%i"
Note: If you write that in a .bat batch file then
you have to use %%i instead of %i, like this:
for %%i in (*.iso) do wbfs_file.exe "%%i"

i can do the first but dont understand the 2nd or third
whats "%i" can some1 give me a full example of
copying back to the wbfs drive
and converting all from iso to wbfs and can i specify a location or does it convert them to the same folder

CODEZ:\Wii\ISO>wbfs_file.exe "%i"
wbfs_file.exe 2.3 by oggzee, based on wbfs by kwiirk

Usage: wbfs_file.exe [OPTIONS] [COMMAND [ARGS]]:

ÂÂGiven just a filename it will convert from iso to wbfs or vice versa:
-------------------------------------------------

Z:\Wii\ISO>wbfs_file.exe "%i".iso
Converting %i.iso to .wbfs
unable to open iso file '%i.iso'


and read u can compress iso's somehow to have them as iso format instead of wbfs and they take up less space how do i do that
