Witgui is a free Wii and GameCube game manager for macOS.
It is a graphical user interface based on the wit and wwt tools and the gametdb.com database.

Similar to the WiiBackup Manager for Windows.

How is this used to manage GameCube games? If you drop them into the wbfs window, does it place them into the wbfs partition of the drive? Will USB Loader recognize this? If so, would it be best to format the entire drive as wbfs and put all GC and Wii games onto the drive thru WitGUI instead of splitting the drive into a wbfs and FAT32 and manually putting the GC games on?

Thanks! I'm on OSX 10.10.5 using WitGUI 2.2.12(31)

GC games don't use wbfs files, partitions, or folders

Yes I am aware of this, which confuses me and why I asked as to why WitGUI claims to be a GameCube game manager as well.

Again my question, if I put a GameCube game into WitGUI, what happens? I can't tell.
WitGUI manages wgfs drives, so how and what does it do with GameCube games.

Good Morning.

Yes,you are completely correct.
I have searched about this GameCube Topic...and surprise..did not found anything...
Only a dead Link to an Manual..

But the one Thing you should try is to format your USB Device with FAT32.
It is not necessary to use WBFS (not to confuse with the wbfs File Format for Wii Games please).

With FAT32 you can use both Game Types.
WitGUI should automatically split the Wii Files.

You can also use two Partitions,but the First must be FAT32 !
Otherwise you can not use GameCube Games later on the Wii with Nintendont / USBLoader GX.

I do not have a Mac but from Screenshots I have seen,you only have to drag and drop the ISO File into the Window from WitGUI.

Good Luck.

Good Luck.

Thanks for your reply!

I followed your suggestion I believe from another post and I partitioned my drive, FAT32 first, then used WitGUI to format the other partition as WBFS.

Would you suggest FAT32 being the better option? When I "open" the FAT32 volume it throws an error, not sure if it means anything.

I found this Thread in an Mac Forum:
https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/witgui-wii-game-management-on-mac.1489425/

It seems one FAT Partition is the best Solution (the last Post there).
Also read the Tipps from the Author of WitGUI, @Desairem about the Convert Thing please.

Good Luck.
