Wad Manager 1.1 (USB SUPPORT!)

[wii_freak]

now to get updated snes9x 3.2 & vba channels to have usb support! sweet! wOOt!

 

[Prime]

Sweet. I downloaded this.

Does the Homebrew Channel or Twilight Hack have USB support?

No.

 

[helpme]

I don't think the Wii can support anything much bigger than 4GB formatted with FAT16. I don't think an iPod with an HDD would work.

ive just used a 1.8" 20gb HDD from a samsung napster mp3 player & it worked fine

its in a ide-usb adapter it loaded slow but it did work

I'll go try my iPod, I'm certain it will work because it is just a USB storage device

EDIT: Can find my sd card

Heh, at the risk of being majorly flamed and ragged on, can someone please assist me in getting this runnin? Still very new to the whole wii-hacking scene. I was using the twilight hack and the wad 2 installer previously, but I don't know of any way to run this wad manager.
Cheers.

wad manger 1.1 is simply a .elf so run it the way you did with the wad installer.

AAhh...I see now. Put manager on sd and wads on usb. alrighty then.

Does it not support Fat32?

 

[LinkinParkmetre]

Does the code dump error is fixed?

 

[.TakaM]

tried with my 500gb hdd, no luck.
encounters an error reading the wad folder.

Just tried for testing purposes, things are progressing very nicely

edit-
tried again, not encountering the same error, it's attempting a code dump or something..
I'll let it sit for a while and see what happens

edit-
nothing happens

edit-
man I'm dumb, set a partition with fat32, works like a charm

 

[helpme]

Does it not support Fat32?

it must as my 20GB HDD is formated to fat32

 

[Trolly]

Going to go test a 250GB HDD. Cya in a min!
Oh, and nice work. As soon as someone works out how to load and play straight off a USB hard drive (though that'll probably need USB2.0 I suppose) we have unlimited space to play with!

Thanks!

EDIT:
Just tested with my Western Digital 250GB (FAT32 formatted) external hard drive. IT WORKED!!!11!!!
*Hugs Waninkoko* I love Waninkoko!

Now my Dad's gonna complain about the HDD being downstairs all the time hehe.

DOUBLE EDIT:
Installing WADs is unfortunately painstakingly slow. The larger SNES titles were taking me 5 minutes to install, so expect an N64 title to take up to 10 minutes to install. No fault of Waninkoko's of course, that's just the limitations of USB1.1!

 

[jinxvorheeze]

But being able to keep soooooo many wad files on one drive is extremely nice. Now all we need is emulator support.

Anyone tried using a PSP?

 

[helpme]

Anyone tried using a PSP?

LOL i used my camera just to see if it worked.... & it did (ricoh R6)

 

[leonheart_a]

Crap, with The PSP all i got was that damned Code Dump screen.

I hope Waninkoko can fix this

 

[Harsky]

Is there any chance that someone will work on the USB to make it take advantage of the USB 2.0 speed?

I'd still be happy using my 1gb SD card and swapping out the wads I don't need.

Yeah I'm sure the "hero" will save you. Not that he has anything to do with the USB support in any way, shape or form other than once again using other people's work.

 

[Hitto]

Pardon me, but who the fuck are you to diss waninkoko twice in a row, even though he gives credit where it is due?
What have YOU done for the scene? I mean, apart from not knowing how to read the nfo and being a smartass?
