Hacking simplewbfs

[twofive]

Based on gibbed's Port.
It's real simple but should help.

It's only features adding files, nothing more.
1 minute of work, but works well.

Exit it using Alt+F4, I forgot about that damn X button.

Have phun.

Maybe.
If you're emulating Vista then try running it in admin mode.

can you give us tips on how you got it working? (xp?)

 

[twofive]

Run as admin and don't use spaces in your paths, then it should work.
In the input field you put your drive letter without a ":".

Question while I wait for UPS to deliver my drive

: If the partition is supposed to be for wbfs and Windows cannot see the partition's drive letter, then how will I know what to put in the X box?

I'd say that you would have to first format the drive in windows which would assign a letter. Then use the Wii loader to re-format your drive to wbfs.

So after you transfer your first ISO, wouldn't that make Windows not recognize the drive letter anymore of the partition? I might have to just keep using Knoppix until this gets sorted.

There's two ways...

1. When I plug the USB into my computer a message comes up -- You need to format the disc in drive I before you can use it. So right there I know it's Drive I:

2. Another way, go to Control Panel. Then go to Administrative Tools -> Computer Management -> Storage -> Disc Management. There you will find a Drive that's not shown under your computer. In my case, again it's Drive I:

Now I unzipped SimpleWBFS and ran it, Loaded my ISO and entered "I" in the box and clicked ADD. Command Prompt box came up and installed the game in 3 minutes. Haven't gone over to test it yet, but so far, this program seems to work.

(Tested on Windows VISTA)

UPDATE: Game used was SIX FLAGS FUN PARK and it works great after testing on Wii. With Backup Launcher, when you're shaking trash cans for items near Fright Fest area, it would just lock the game with a constant noise. No longer doing that with USB Loader.



Also, Majinchuck1 asked if there's a need to rip the game from the wii to the hard drive anymore or we do it straight with this?

ANSWER: You have to have it in ISO format, so yes, you will.. If you already have a backup of it, then just Read it back to your computer with IMGBurn.

Has anyone figured out why the command box disappers quickly after clicking add
