Hacking WBFS Windows Gui

[shanefromoz]

Guys i have my 160gb portable hard drive formatted with wbfs through usb loader on the wii.
When i run the wbfs gui i now get "could not open drive" error.
Is this becuase windows cannot read wbfs formatted drives?
How can i fix this?

Cheers

download the file.
extract folder to c: (make sure you dont have any spaces on folder name)
run program.
drive letter: pick the drive letter for the hdd your going to put the game in.
iso: pick the iso you want.
then just hit add iso

It does work for me. Windows can see the wbfs formatted partition and asigns a drive letter to it. Windows just can't read it in explorer, but the application can access it

So this only works with adding an iso?
Does it work with the other options like removing iso from portable drive?

Works great for me on my 2GB stick. I extracted Super Paper Mario and it turned out 4.37GB big, removed it from the WBFS, estimated how big it would be to put it back on (0.41GB) and put it back on. ISO listing and drive space listing works great too.

I haven't tried any directory with spaces in it (just to be safe) and I still have no idea what the HBC loader thing does/what it's for (not willing to try until I find out), but the GUI works great.

No what im trying to do is add the iso through the wii then plug the portable hard drive into my pc and remove from the portabel drive to the pc.
All i get is a dos command line listing everytime i press a button.
I select the drive and then select drive info and the dos.
I really need help with this please.

Just remove the space in the folder name and it should work correctly il fix it when I have time

After doing this I got a new message: "could not open drive: No error"... I don`t know why and it happens on every button I push...

I had that error also
Can someone please explain the exact files i should have in the wbfs folder?
Also where on my pc it should be?
The iso can be from any folder is that correct?

Normally there isn`t much to misdo in this tool but I don`t see, what I could have done wrong... I`ve put the folder just like I`ve downloaded it onto my desktop (I removed the space in the foldername, like max told me) and then I`ve chosen the drive of my wdfs-formated HDD and the iso... Like I said: normally there shouldn`t be anything I could have misdone

I had the same problem. just run it as administrator, then it should work.

I need a Mirror, because mediafire doesn't work for me...

I allways get the message after selecting the drive letter.

wbfs windows port build 'delta'

bad magic: No error

With the cygwin version it all works fine, only this delta does'nt work
