Hacking Wii Batch file do delete and rename file or folder?

[Jabe]

Hi!

I would like to know if there is any way to launch some .bat file or something similar with Homebrew Browser (or WiiXplorer maybe) in order to automatically:
-rename some folder
-delete some folders
-delete some files
-display some "Job done" message

It will be usefull to delete files faster on Wii, for example I created some .bat file for PC:

@echo off
rename bootmii bootmii_off
rmdir /s /q corpv3.6M
del /s /q wad
del IOS38-64-v3610.wad
del IOS38-64-v3867.wad
cd private
cd wii
del loc.bak
del loc.dat
cd title
rmdir /s /q aktn
cd..
cd..
cd..
cd apps
rmdir /s /q pimp_my_wii
rmdir /s /q TruchaBugRestorer
rmdir /s /q AnyTitleDeleter
rmdir /s /q cIOS38_rev17-Installer
rmdir /s /q priiloader-0.3b
rmdir /s /q cIOSCORP_v3.6_Main_Installer
rmdir /s /q cios_222_installer
rmdir /s /q cIOSInstaller_mplayerce
echo Job done Jabe!
pause

How to write the same command lines and run them directly from Wii?

the more common way ive seen it written is something like this

fatinitdefault();
remove("sd:/apps/blabla");
remove("sd:/apps/blabla1");
remove("sd:/apps/blabla2");

but i guess you could do something like

char path[100];
char oldpath[100];
char tmppath[100];

#define cd(x) sprintf(oldpath,"%s",path);sprintf(path,"%s/",oldpath,x);
#define del(x) sprintf(tmppath,"sd:/%s%s",path,x);remove(tmppath);
#define rmdir del
#define echo(x) printf("x");

fatinitdefault();
sprintf(path,"sd:/");

//so now most of your script might work
rename bootmii bootmii_off
rmdir (corpv3.6M)
del ( wad)
del (IOS38-64-v3610.wad)
del (IOS38-64-v3867.wad)
cd (private)
cd (wii)
del (loc.bak)
del (loc.dat)
cd (title)
rmdir (aktn)
cd(..)
cd(..)
cd(..)
cd (apps)
rmdir (pimp_my_wii)
rmdir (TruchaBugRestorer)
rmdir (AnyTitleDeleter)
rmdir ( cIOS38_rev17-Installer)
rmdir (priiloader-0.3b)
rmdir (cIOSCORP_v3.6_Main_Installer)
rmdir (cios_222_installer)
rmdir (cIOSInstaller_mplayerce)
echo (Job done Jabe!)

its just somehting i whipped up, so it might need some tweaking. obviously, cd isn't handled correctly, as it will max out just by doing cd(apps) cd (..). im sure you can figure out a better way to do it.

Up!

That's a good start, sorry for late answer I didn't see your answer before as I didn't get the mail notification

.

Once I write the proper code, how do I compile it to launch it with homebrew browser?

or u could just use the delete function the hbc has

Find 'batch' idea very interesting.

This can resolve in SNEEK 47 item on screen problem.

on SD we can have more than 1 NAND dump. From HBC we can add several 'batch' that:
- rename actual folder to temp folder
- rename 'NAND2' folder to actualfolder
- run SNEEK

In general script can resolve different things, but this is first thing i think.

what you think about ?
