Homebrew wbfs conversion

[drakorex]

Is there any way to convert ciso files to wbfs?

You could try Wii Backup Manager and some other programs but I'm not sure if the one I listed will do it but I think it will.

Try WIT. It can even convert the dirt under my fingernails to wbfs.

There any way to convert pc games, or do they have to be wii games?

You want to put a PC game into a Wii Backup File System container?

 

[drakorex]

is there some other way?

is there some other way?

if it's an old point n click adv game you can use scummV to play them on the wii but apart from that it's not possible to convert any pc game through a usb program

they would have to be converted in some other way like turrican and a few others were.

I don't think you get the point. It is certainly possible. It's not even that hard. The thing is...just being able to put a game in a container isn't doing anything useful. "a pc game" is just a bunch of files anyway. Without a means of using those files in the correct way, it's just a bunch of stored 1's and 0's.
It's not different than using winzip to store all the files in a .zip file. It can be done...but it doesn't mean that emulators that know how to handle .zip files are automatically able to play it.


I can second Blade's response for the click 'n play games. And there are a few old DOS games that may work (or gotten to work) on dosbox. And maybe - MAYBE - some linux games may work with this thing I know nothing about. But any random PC game? No way in hell.
