WIT: Wiimms ISO Tools v1.22a - 2010-11-22
A command line ISO+WBFS tool set for various os.
WIT (Wiimms ISO Tools) is a set of command line tools to manipulate Wii ISO images and WBFS containers. The two main tools are called wit (Wiimms ISO Tool) and wwt (Wiimms WBFS Tool, the WBFS manager).
Feature overview:
- WIT (Wiimms ISO Toolset) is a set of command line tools.
- wit (Wiimms ISO tool) is the main Wii and GameCube ISO manipulation tool.
- wwt (Wiimms WBFS tool) is a complete WBFS manager including FS checking and repairing, time stamps and multi WBFS support.
- wdf-cat and wdf-dump are WDF and CISO support tools.
- WIT supports 6 Wii disc file types (ISO, CISO, WDF, WIA, WBFS and FST) and can read from pipes (indirect RAR/ZIP/7Z support).
- wit can verify and compare (diff) Wii and GameCube ISO images.
- wit can extract and compose Wii ISO images.
- wit can patch Wii and GameCube ISO images while copying.
- wit can mix partitions from different sources into a new Wii ISO images.
- wit and wwt support many diagnostic commands.
- Advanced shell support.
Download of the current version:

- wit-v1.22a-r2012-cygwin.zip : Cygwin (Windows) version
- Other releases are available from http://wit.wiimm.de/download.html.
- QtWitGui, manipulate and convert single ISO images.
This QT based GUI focuses on manipulating single ISO images.
. - Wii Backup Fusion, a WBFS and ISO manager.
This is a very young QT based GUI and still in development.
. - WiiJManager Multiplatform, a WBFS manager GUI
A java GUI that acts like a WBFS manager. Converting of ISO images is also possible. (The project seems to be dead)
Change log:
Code:
wit v1.22a r2012 - 2010-11-22
- New command: wit CERT: Collect certificates and eliminate multiple entries
ÂÂ of the same certificate. Dump all collected certificates to standard
ÂÂ output (stdout) and/or write the certificate as binary to a file. Together
ÂÂ with the new option "--fake-sign filter" is is possible to fake sign some
ÂÂ or all certificates before dumping and/or storing.
- New global option: --cert: Add certificates to the global certificate
ÂÂ database. These certificates are used to check the signatures.
- "wit dump ticket.bin tmd.bin" is now able to dump the certificate chain
ÂÂ following the TICKET or TMD info. This combination is usual for 'cetk'
ÂÂ and 'tmd.1234' files in WADs.
- Workaround for Cygwin bug in /proc/partitions.
- Bug fix for "wit CONVERT --wia" (Segmentation fault).
- Bug fix for 'preserve time' if source is removed.
- Command "wit LIST" supports now --progress while scanning files and dirs.
- The old tools 'wdf-cat' and 'wdf-dump' are removed. Use instead the new
ÂÂ tool 'wdf'. 'wdf' is linked to 'wdf-cat' and 'wdf-dump' to facilitate the
ÂÂ old behavior when calling 'wdf-cat' or 'wdf-dump'.
Known bugs:
- The GameCube support is in development and EXPERIMENTAL!
- wit COPY --raw: Copying an image in raw mode to a WBFS file is buggy.
- There are new problems while reading from non seekable sources (e.g. pipes).
ÂÂ The reason is the complete new and more intelligent wiidisc lib which makes
ÂÂ more lookups ==> The best is to use version 1.01c for pipes.
- No bzip2 (WIA) support for MAC/x86_64. (bug in the bzip2 library)

wwt -p /dev/sdc1 add /dev/sdb1/ABCDEF
its also possible to use --all instead of "-p /dev/sdc1" to copy ABCDEF to all connected WBFS drives. (self copying is disabled). And use update to avoid warnings for already existing discs:
wwt --auto update /dev/sdb1/ABCDEF

Good job~
By the way , I hope the progress could be more detail like wbfs_file.exe when convert/copy/add/extract games -- is that OK in WIT next version?
The progress for wbfs_file.exe:
RMGJ01 SuperMarioGalaxy 0.32%(\-/) ETA:00:05:23 (0.79MB of 4738MB ~ 38.87MB/s) time:3.79s
======================================================================
ID Name Percent (\-/ circle) ETA: TimeLeft (DataCopyed of TotalData ~ CopySpeed) time: TimePassed
Notice: all the value are "double" type, and it looks more fast when running.
The progress changes so~~~~~ slowly that I can not konw whether it's still running or dead... If it changes more quickly(by "double" data type), I will also quickly know that it has been dead when the progress stoped.

I just want to know if the program is dead or crash. If the progress bar updated quickly but suddenly stoped, it is sure that the program is dead. But if the progress bar updated slowly then it seems stoped, it's very difficult to know the program is dead or still working.
Oh my god~ Big problem?? I found that the cygwin path does not support unicode?!
For example:
\wit>wit copy "D:\wbfs\SVMJ01.wdf" "C:\XX\%6I.%E" --iso -vv -o ('XX' is a unicode string)
* COPY+SCRUB 1/1 WDF:/cygdrive/d/wbfs/SVMJ01.wdf -> ISO:/cygdrive/c/ /SVMJ01.iso
when the windows path "C:\XX\%6I.%E" transformed to cygwin path "/cygdrive/c/ /SVMJ01.iso", the unicode string was filtered and replaced with a space char ' '
what's the matter?? Is there any solution??

I can't really understand your problems.The progress bar is updated every second. There is only 2 exceptions: The preallocation system call and compression a large chunk may consume much time outside of the control of wit.
UTF-8 is problematic. For cygwin I have deactivated it, because it doesn't work like expected. But my tests are old with an old cygwin version. --utf-8 may enable utf-8 support.
And for cygwin it is better to switch the escape char to dollar (except calling it from a *nix shell like bash):
wit copy --esc=$ ... "C:\XX\$6I.$E"
wit copy -E$ ... "C:\XX\$6I.$E"

Thanks a lot, it seems that the option --utf-8 works well in the newest version.
Sorry I have not read the source code of wit... so, the progress bar is updated not by data copyed, but by time, and with one second step? If this is true, I mean that one second step is a little long, perhaps millionsecond unit is better, so that we can see the progress bar updated more clearly.
do you know the difference in speed between using a .dll and a .a library? the reason i ask is because i just setup all the stuff to built the cygwin version from source. and i ended up with a statically linked libbz2.a. i noticed that my wit.exe and wwt.exe are bigger by 67KB, as expected, and it runs without the cygbz2-1.dll.
so now im wondering if there is to be expected any performance increase/decrease and if it is worth the effort to set it up to use the dynamic library over the static one.

Static linking can give a marginal increase in performance but usually isn't too worth the trouble
