Hacking Windows WBFS Tool

[bula]

do people know how to use commands in here?

heres what i did, it may sound simple but some people dont seem to get it to work.

rename your folder from wbfs_win..... to just wbfs.
rename your file from wbfs_....exe to just wbfs.exe.
then type in a command box to get to the folder your in
example for me c:\ documents...., so i write d: , then cd wbfs
and im in my folder, then i type wbfs and this brings up a list of uses.
to copy a file to the usb which my drive number is h.
i type wbfs h add blahblah.iso and it should copy.

so you need to know your drive that the wbfs file is on and also the drive number of the usb and replace what i wrote with your own number

now i dont think you can shrink files using wii scrubber then use them to copy as it comes up with an error, so they have to be full discs, and the software will rip just the game out, i think??

Thanks to windows no one knows DOS anymore LOL.

windows gui would be so much more simpler.
Also how come a portable hard drive formated in wbfs can be seen on vista but not accessed as needs to be formatted but with windows xp i cant even see the drive to format??

I was going to write a very simple, and somewhat ugly GUI front end for this, and coded one up when I was away from home today, but when I got home, I cant get the application, let alone with my GUI, to work. I keep getting this when using
it as a console app:

I enter this(Or any other command, this is just so I can verify I have the correct syntax):
wbfs_win E list
and I get:
could not open drive: no error

I'm using a 60gb ATA drive, if that helps any.

Anybody know what's going on here?

just a quick question, when i use wiiscrubber i still get a full size iso. im scrubbing fritz chess. it says it will be 800 mb but when its finished the file even tho its name (compress) its still full size so wont fit on my 1 gb card. ne ideas?

you don't need to scrub them, the WBFS tool will scrub it for you as it installs it to your HDD.

Same with quite a few of us, while Wii dumping works.. Weird but guess we'll have to wait for v2.0 of the filesystem :/

If I add isos with this program in whatever way, will they still be smaller like if I dump them from DVD?
Thanks.

I've posted this before but maybe some of you missed it

created a .txt file in the folder with the wbfs.exe and the .dll file and put this into it exactly

@echo off
wbfs.exe -p 0 add %1

then save the .txt file and rename it to a .bat file, make sure that you have windows showing file extensions
rightclick the file and send it to the desktop to create a shortcut

drag your ISO files onto the shortcut and the program will start to work automatically. This is assuming that you've already formated your drive using the USB loader while it was connected to your Wii.

This program really works, and easy when you just figure it out. And really fast too.

Added GH metallica 4.12 gb in just 03:41 then added rogue trooper 3.59 gb in 02:59.

Sadly guitar hero freezes when im in the menu. rogue trooper plays perfect so far only 15 min played

I can just use wbfs.exe add directly, no need with the -d or -p stuff to select a partition or disc

 

[Oli181]

i think formatted a partition with all my stuff on it in WBFS trying to get this to work, as explained above i used sda instead of sdb. I dont suppose there is anyway out of this outside reformatting is there?

No one knows how to fix this?

Finally got this damn thing to work by draggin it onto the shortcut.

Inside the batch file i had to put the following

@echo off
wbfs.exe -p/dev/sdb1 add %1


No clue why its gotta be that why but it finally worked.

 

[Necromancyr]

I feel old because making the batch file was the first thing I thought of...and I even added in some nice feedback echo's.

And you had to add that icp because it told the program what drive to work with. Seems sometimes it can detect it and sometimes it can.t

Can you help me with the other one then.Someone else posted another kind of program(wbfs_win_gamma) just like this one but that one all i have to type is wbfs K list
to see whats on the drive.

So what would i need to put in the batch file to make it work the same way?I've messed around with different things but nothing has worked.

 

[Silverbullet09]

I enter this(Or any other command, this is just so I can verify I have the correct syntax):
wbfs_win E list
and I get:
could not open drive: no error

same error to....

and wen i try to install a game it maybe : bad magic: no error

 

[Robotic Earthlin]

Is the .bat method working for people running Windows XP?

Just use Open CMD here on the folder of WBFS tool.

Put the following into a .bat file in the same directory as your iso's. Add cygwin1.dll and the wbfs.exe file. Run the bat and it will import ALL the .iso files you have in the directory - or try to.

@echo off
for %%f in (*.iso) do (
@echo Adding %%f to drive.
wbfs -p /dev/sdc1 add %%f
@echo %%f completed.
)
@echo Import Complete.
@pause

or...really simple version with no messages telling you whats going on, only the wbfs messages:

@echo off
for %%f in (*.iso) do wbfs -p /dev/sdc1 add %%f

If you don't understand this, don't know what a bat file is, don't know how to make one, don't know what a command line is, etc...google.

 

[jimjim9001]

this is my bat file

Put the following into a .bat file in the same directory as your iso's. Add cygwin1.dll and the wbfs.exe file. Run the bat and it will import ALL the .iso files you have in the directory - or try to.

echo off
cls
:menu
echo.
echo ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂWBFS Tool menu
echo.
echo.
echo.
echo.
echoÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ PRESS 1,2, or 3 to select your task, or 4 to EXIT.
echo. 
echoÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ1-Add Iso's To Wii Drive

echo.
SET /P M=Type 1, 2, 3,or 4, then press ENTER: 
if %M%==4 goto eof
if %M%==3 goto list
if %M%==2 goto spaceÂÂÂÂ
if %M%==1 goto add



:list 
cls
wbfs.exe -p/dev ls
goto menu

:space
cls
wbfs.exe -p/dev df
goto menu

:add
cls
echo.
for %%f in (*.iso) do (
echo Adding %%f to drive.
wbfs -p /dev/sdc1 add %%f
echo.
echo %%f completed.
)
echo Import Complete.
goto menu

also can any one who knows dos
try and figure out how to add remove and extract to menu but with it asking you game id to remove and the game id you want to extract and where to extract game
