Any plans on going open source?
I just ask because your binary won't run on Darwin/OS X and I'm interested if I could compile it on Cygwin because on my Windows box I still use the first cygwin port of wbfs tool as I don't use drive letters for my wbfs drive.

 

wwt: Wiimms WBFS Tool V0.00c - 2009-09-30
A command line WBFS tool for linux.

I like to work with the linux command line. And the only WBFS tool I found is poor in viewing information and perhaps buggy (I have destroyed the WBFS 2 times). And because of that I have written a new command line tool for linux.

Some special features:

• Supports sparse files (files with holes) to save disc space.
• May store truncated ISO images (option --trunc) to save disc space.
• Support WBFS on block devices and as plain files.
• Find WBFS partitions on block devices automatically.
• Multi WBFS support:
  • List multiple WBFS together.
  • Copies ISO images to multiple WBFS with one command.
  • Remove ISO images from multiple WBFS with one command.
  • Searches multiple WBFS for extracting discs.
• Advanced shell support:
  • Exit codes are explaind by the tool itself.
  • Output controlling with --quiet and --verbose.
  • Several listings, some of them machine readable.
  • May read parameters from files.

I have tested this tool very well and the software do what I want.

But the usage is dangerous like usage of any Alpha-Software!

Please test the software! Comments are welcome!

wwt V0.00c r145 - 2009-09-30

- EXTRACT & REMOVE: -tt (--test twice) => print normalized ID6 list and exit.
- EXTRACT: option --unique enabled.
- EXTRACT & ADD: progress info enabled with -vv.
- New processing of ID6 parameters.
- Bug fix: the long option --sort does'n take a parameter.
- Output of LIST improved.
- The read and write file subroutines are rewritten. ==> tests needed.
- The new option --sparse enables improved sparse handling.

 

That URI is not the the SVN repos itself, it is only a repos viewer and co is not possible.

 

This is very sexy. You should let someone (whistle) port this with gui for OSX. :>

 

Why not! I think most of the options are already stable.

 

your tool has a bit more features that would make it more fool proof as a gui. I'll get working on it when I find some time!

 

Sorry, no. But I will think about it

 

wwt: Wiimms WBFS Tool V0.01a - 2009-10-04
A command line WBFS tool for linux.

I have updated the tool. The first post with more details is updated too.

I have tested this tool very well and the software do what I want but I can't give any warranty. I have made different import and export (ISO and WDF) tests with about 20 games and the resulting ISO images are absolute identical as the source files.

wwt is now Beta and I'm using it as replacement for the tool 'wbfs'.

Download: http://wiimm.de/x/wwt-v0.01a-r168.tar.gz (Documentation is included)
More Infos about WDF: http://svn.wiimm.de/open/wii/trunk/wiimms-...WDF.txt?view=co

Last changes:

Code:

wwt V0.01a r168 - 2009-10-04

- WWT leaves Alpha and goes Beta!
- WDF is now productive; WDF documentation expanded.
- Extracting to WDF is now default. --iso forces ISO output.
- Bug fix: Wrong "end of disc" handling while writing a double layer ISO
ÂÂ and --trunc is not set.

 

Looks like a great tool, and unlike wbfs it compiles on my 64-bit system with a minimal edit. If anyone gets the error:

Code:

$ make
***ÂÂcreate templates.sed
***ÂÂcreate version.h
***ÂÂobject debug.o
debug.c:1: error: CPU you selected does not support x86-64 instruction set
make: *** [debug.o] Error 1

Just change this line in the Makefile:

Code:

CFLAGSÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ= -march=i686 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing \

to

Code:

CFLAGSÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ= -march=x86-64 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing \

And it compiles (and appears to work) like a dream.

Thanks for the excellent open source tool.

edit: Minor bug report, using command DP is not recognized, but the full command DUMP works.

 

dont mean to sound dim but when running wwt FIND -A or LIST etc I just get a

Code:

!! wwt: ERROR #6 [NO WBFS FOUND] in AnalysePartitions() @ wwt-file.c#882
!! wwt: no WBFS partitions found -> abort

is there anything I need to do other than plugging the usb drive in to the machine?
