Hello,
Fantastic tool!
If I want to update the content of wbfs1 with missing games that are on wbfs2 and vis versa, I should do this ?
wwt sync 'wbfs1' 'wbfs2'
or
wwt add 'wbfs1' 'wbfs2'
wwt add 'wbfs2' 'wbfs1'
Thanks

add+update+sync works only in one direction, but you can define both devices as destination and source path.
Example:
Because of --test it will only show what it would do.
The difference between update and sync is, that sync will also remove discs on the dest, if they are not exist in at least one source.
Example:
Code:
# first find out the drive names
wwt find
/dev/sdc2
/dev/sdd2
# now update
# here --all is a short cut for all connected drives == -p /dev/sdc2 -p /dev/sdd2
wwt update --all /dev/sdc2 /dev/sdd2 --test
# ^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
# dest 2x sourceThe difference between update and sync is, that sync will also remove discs on the dest, if they are not exist in at least one source.
Thank you very much, now I understand how it is working.
It's very impressive what could be done from your cmd lime. I am on osx and I can't find such power tools from a gui.
Even Wii Backup Fusion who is based on your tools crash with basics things like game checking.
Today with wwt, was the first time I was able to format a HD with multiple partition in WBFS on osx ... I don't understand why we do not have an ultimate GUI for this on OSX. If only I was cable to program..... :-(
As all is working perfectly from cmd line, I will learn to use it.
Thanks very much.

Some more explanations:
ADD will add discs. If a disc already exist, a warning is printed at the disc is not copied. The options allow different behavior:
--overwrite overwrites exiting discs.
--newer overwrites only if the source is younger.
--update ignores already existing discs.
--sync and --syn-all makes the destination equal to the source.
"sync" in an short cut for "add --sync" and "update" for "add --update". Include and exclude lists can be used with all options. The best is to use --test to verify that the tools do what the user want.
First, this will be work too, but with warnings for already existing discs.

Hello all,
Thanks for the great work on wit+wwt. I have been using them with WiiJManager (from zon7) form more than a year now and have been pleased with it.
However, today, my USB external drive contains more than 100 .wbfs images of my wii games. I think that WiiJManager can not handle that many images since, when I try to read my USB drive with it, I get an error reading like "index out of bounds, 100".
Anyway, since I always used WiiJManager, I dont even know how to properly use the command line. Here is what I would like to do :
I have on my computer the .iso file of my latest game (I can convert it to .wdf, .wbfs or else) and I simply want to copy it my USB external drive that is already filled with my other .wbfs games.
Will you give me an exemple of command line that does just that ?
Thanks again.

Thanks for answering Wiimm.
I work on Linux, so no Windows Backup Manager for me.
I already tried some stuffs with wwt but could not specify the location where to copy to. I guess the --auto will do this !
Do I need to convert .iso file to another format (.wbfs, .wdf or else) prior to copying on .wbfs partition ? If I dont convert, does the copy to .wbfs will take the least space possible on my drive ?

My tools detect the source format automatically. All source formats are equal and always transformed in the best way. The option auto tries to find out the WBFS drive automatically. More options for "wwt add": http://wit.wiimm.de/wwt/cmd-add.html#opt
I want to copy wii-games from one wbfs partition to another. But i cant find the right command. Please help me.
I tried:
wit COPY --source /dev/sdd1 -D /dev/sdc1 -P
Thanks!
Sorry found the answer in FAQ.... RTFM i know. wwt -p /dev/wbfs1 -p /dev/wbfs2 UPDATE /dev/wbfs1 /dev/wbfs2

WIT: Wiimms ISO Tools v2.03a - 2011-12-30
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 (Wiimms WDF Tool) is a little tool to manage WDF, CISO and WIA files.
- wfuse (Wiimms FUSE Tool) mounts Wii and GameCube images and WBFS files and partitions using FUSE.
- 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-v2.03a-r3309-i386.tar.gz : Linux/i386 version
- wit-v2.03a-r3309-x86_64.tar.gz : Linux/x86_64 version
- wit-v2.03a-r3309-mac.tar.gz : Mac OS universal binaries (ppc, i386 and x86-64)
- wit-v2.03a-r3309-cygwin.zip : Cygwin (Windows) version
- Other releases are available at http://wit.wiimm.de/download.html.
There are also some GUI available:
- QtWitGui, manipulate and convert single ISO images.
This QT based GUI focuses on manipulating single ISO images. It can do much more.
- Wii Backup Fusion, a WBFS and ISO manager.
This QT based GUI is a complete WBFS manager and ISO tool.
- Wii Covers Download & WBFS Manager for Windows, a WBFS and ISO manager.
This is a very young Java based WBFS manager. (GBA temp discussion)
Highlights of this release:
- I have implmented a new WBFS interface to detect and reduce WBFS errors. Most common are errors in the free blocks table. Instead of using the stored one an internal memory map of used blocks is built. This needs only a part of a second. See change log for more details.
Change log:
Code:
wit v2.03a r3309 - 2011-12-30
- wit+wwt SKELETON: Support of GameCube images.
- New command: wwt DUP: Duplicate an existing WBFS to a new file including
block assigning errors. The idea is to have a command, that can duplicate
a defect WBFS for tests.
- Command "wwt DUMP" accept now --show for a fine control of printed data.
The dump may now contain also a usage table and a integrity check report.
- For a long time the code contains a WBFS extension. Now I have ompleted,
enabled and tested it. With this extension the WBFS "free blocks table" is
managed in a total different way:
- WBFS access: While opening a WBFS the free blocks table is ignored.
Instead of using the stored one an internal memory map of used blocks is
built. This needs only a part of a second. Some advantages:
- Errors in the free blocks table are irrelevant.
- Blocks overlaps and invalid block assignings are automatically
detected, reported, and fixed for internal usage.
- If removing a discs with overlaps, the blocks are still marked used.
- Blocks, that are not handled by the free blocks tables (the table is
sometiems to small -> a result of a calculation bug in the original
libwbfs) can be used. If closing, a new and fixed free blocks table
will be written. This makes the whole process compatible to other
WBFS managers and USB loaders.
- wwt ADD: Before adding a disc its size is compared against the free size
of the WBFS. This allows an early "disc full" error message.
- wwt ADD: If adding a disc to a partition a continuous memory block is
searched to minimize the (non existent) fragmentation. This disabled for
WBFS files by default because a file itself can be fragmented.
- wwt ADD+PHANTOM --wbfs-alloc=mode: Set the WBFS block allocation mode.
- The commands "wwt CHECK", "wwt REPAIR" and "wwt EDIT" have been modified
to work with the new interface.The source is published under the license of GPL2. Checkout the sources directly from the SVN repository or browse the source. Visit http://wit.wiimm.de/ for more information.
Do you mean the wbfs block allocation?
Perfectionism!
And the never ending discussions.
And with the new internal data model the implementation was so simple: http://opensvn.wiimm.de/viewvc/wii/trunk/wiimms-iso-tools/src/libwbfs/libwbfs.c?annotate=3309#l1594
This means, that a H0 checksum is wrong (data corrupted) and that yo have a bad dump.
Message details: http://wit.wiimm.de/wit/cmd-verify.html#desc
Thank you! While I was waiting for a reply I tried to fix them and it didn't do anything, so I figured it was best to just delete the 3 of them with wwt prior to using wbfs2fat. The only other messages I got on nearly 200 games were a few that said something about tickets and whatnot, but still gave an "ok" status. I figured they are fine and just displaying that because they are modified? One is Manhunt 2 (Unedited Mod) and another was SSX (patched to work with USB Loaders before the fix was built in), and one other I forgot but it was also patched for the same reason as SSX was).
