Unfortunately, WAD-Manager 1.5 with Folder Support does not recognize my USB Hard Drive... This is not a hardware issue since WiiXplorer, USBLoader GX, USBLoader CFG ans others support the same Hard Drive!

Thanks wiiNinja, I will wait for the next version...

Have you tried usb and usb2 settings?

Yes...

Mounting error of =-1?

Try creating a WAD folder, it worked for me..

Unfortunately, the WAD folder (uppercase) was already created.

OK It works (finally)!!! The partition must be set to active using Windows XP Disk Management (Mark Partition as Active)!!!

Someone knows if there is a Wad Manager without IOS reload and GC support?
This would be nice...

I just removed "ret = IOS_ReloadIOS(version);" from the source but i dont think this will do the trick..
Thanks for help.

I'm having probs trying to install a wad to the virtual NAND on my SD card. I have used FSDumper to dump the NAND which was successful. I select SD Card as my NAND. I have IOS249 selected and then I select SD Card as the source. I then get an error -1.

I can install the same WAD without a problem from the SD card onto the actual NAND however.
Tried using Wad Manager 1.5 Mod 3. And previous versions of Wad Manager.

Thanks for the response. I'm actually using wad2nand and that works pretty well, unfortunately it's slightly more inconvenient.
I didn't really put my post up looking for solutions, just thought I'd mention that I think there's a bug there somewhere.

theres no bug when you can't select sd for both nand emulation and source you have to use a usb drive for the source

Ah, OK. I didn't realize you couldn't use SD for both.
No worries, I'm quite happy with using Wad2Nand.

Probably a newb question but can I run wads from from my usb drive using the info on this thread? I'll read all 20+ pages but I can't seem to get a straight answer either way from all of my google searches. I can run my backup isos which I created from my originals off it fine but I haven't been able to get any program to recognize the wad folder on my usb drive. I split the drive so half goes to WBFS Manager and the other half is fat32; I created a wad folder on the fat32 portion. WiiFlow can download covers and stuff to the fat32 portion and all of that is working ok. I wanted to use my usb drive to load wads though...Is this possible? Storing the wads on my sd card has proven to be a major hassle. Thanks...

very nice thanks AND logan5 YES you can use your USB to load WADS from. The partition must be set to active, ( it was mentioned in the last few pages) I have now moved all my different wad types into seperate folders and now with this mod3 it finds them just fine.

Hi,

How do I install this app in my SD card?

I meant, I saw 2 files .bol and .wad ...

Do I need to rename to "boot.dol" and leave the .wad?

If I see Waninkoko WAD Manager 1.5 in my "apps" folder in SD card for HBC, I only see "boot.dol".

Thanks.

If leathl is going to update his mod, then there's no point in updating this. But if he decides not to, then I'll do it. Has anyone contacted leathl?

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.

    It inserts a newline in a random spot.

  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
