Hacking WBFS Manager and Channel Creator 2.0!

[jservs7]

If you are going to support a different executable, may I suggest Sorg's modification?

It is based off of Kwiirk's original source and adds some great new modifications like the ability to rename the game on the wbfs drive. And it does it the right way:

By renaming/adding with custome name, original name will remain in ISO header. Changes of name will be made only in WBFS directory, so it safe to change name to whatever you want without remembering original name.

I've already tested it with my drive under Windows 7 beta and it works beautifully. "Blob07" is now called "de Blob" on my drive.

Details and the source code can be found here: Modified version of wbfs.exe

I second this.

I just don't get how wbfs works fine via the command line and with a few other gui apps.

There are at least 4 versions of the wbfs.exe that I know of, so you have to be more specific.

Well I know a Linux Version, but it doesn't have a GUI, so u have to make everything from Terminal...

Anyways thanks for this great app, I just wish My 2TB External Drive Dual Bay enclosure AC Power Adapter work, now I have to change the whole Case thanks to that Puny, AC POWER adapter

So I make a NTSF partidition in my 1TB HDD, with at least 320GB or 500GB, I don't think it would support the whole 1TB... or does?

Or I should leave the HDD unpartitioned, so the WBFS in Wii Creates it automatically?
Or I should create the WBFS here on the PC?

Well I hope to get answer to my Doubts...

Thanks

Great work!!! This app is the bomb!

I have one request though, Is it possible to make a version that creates wads using force NTSC? I have some PAL games that won't load right without it.

Thanks, and keep up the good work.

Agreed. While I try to keep it all NTSC, some PAL games slipped in and wads that forced NTSC (or respected the default wii settings) would be great.

I fixed this problem and implemented some code I found so the channel will use the default TV mode instead!
I found the code on here:
http://wiinewz.com/forums/backup-loaders/9...od-by-sorg.html

Doesn't attempt to switch TV mode before load game (uses default TV mode instead). Original loader tries to switch TV mode according to game region which makes PAL games unplayable on TV not supporting PAL modes (NTSC-U/J Wii) and NTSC games on TV not supporting NTSC modes (PAL Wii). Now i can play Mario Kart PAL and Wii Chess PAL on my NTSC-U Wii!

Just replace the BOOTER.dol file with the one I uploaded here:

I tested this with a PAL version of Madden 09 on my NTSC system and it worked correctly!

Where do you put this booter.dol? I am not sure what to do with it but I'd like to use it so I can play my PAL games as well.

Thanks

Hi guys, an easy one im sure.

Im getting 'runtime error 48, File notfound WIISCRUBBER.dll' after adding an ISO, Its not making any channel wads,

I use WII tools 1.5 and have version Wiiscrubber 1.4

1. It obviously cant find the DLL, Why would this be ?

2. Should i just move the DLL into the WBFS Man Chan 2.0 directory ?

3. I have FLU and its the easter holidays with 2 kids tearing the house apart so please explain why i have the above problems..

thanks

You need to install the VC++ Dist Files.
There's a link in the first post.

Looks pretty cool! Can't wait to have time to read this more closely and test it.

If you could integrate this with the modified wbfs found here:
http://wiinewz.com/forums/backup-loaders/9...f-wbfs-exe.html
That would be AWESOME. The modified version adds rename capabilities - to rename the game on the HDD. Works pretty well...so, games like KFP (Kung Fu Panda), or "PARTY PACK for REVOLUTION" (Wii Play), or "SPORTS PACK for REVOLUTION" (Wii Sports) can be renamed to the actual title instead of some abbreviations or whatever.

Just a suggestion

GREAT work though!

 

[MightyMouse]

well version 2 is sill a fail for me, i'll just keep doing it manually

and why on earth does it have to extract the entire game to a .iso just to get the banner????

Do you have the same thing to force PAL on my NTSC games?

 

[SkH]

Thanks, this version now works fine on my Windows XP SP3!

Making Game Channels from ISOs never been easier!

 

[deshwasi]

thanks a lot HowardC. works great on XP. any reason why the batch option was not added? (i tried selecting multiple isos but it doesnt let me)

 

[rwilts]

SkH,

I still cannot make lego channels!!!!! This prog tells me it cannot extract opening.bng file!!!!!

Could you try Lego Batman / Star Wars? This is driving me mad

 

[Harry Potthead]

This tool kicks ass
