Hacking wwt+wit: Wiimms WBFS+ISO Tools

[Wiimm]

DIR > Textfile.txt

Technical note: This is not a pipe, it's redirect.
A pipe is something like this: command1 | command2

 

[Rincewindwiz]

You are , of course, quite right. I can only apologies and claim failing memory as it must be 20+ years since I last used those commands :-)

I am pretty sure Wiimm is ALWAYS right!

I'm having issues trying to extract a wbfs file for the first time.
When I use wit, it shows a error: CAN'T OPEN FILE in SetupReadSF () @src/lib-sf.c#447
When I use WiiBackup Fusion, it does extract, but the folders are all empty, even though the total size is right.
I am trying to extract Wii Fit Plus from an original disc.

Try wit dump IMAGE to get an overview about the image. wit verify IMAGE makes a deep analysis (checks all checksums) -- this takes time.

Try wit dump IMAGE to get an overview about the image. .

wit dump blah.iso produces
!! wit: ERROR #126 [FATAL ERROR] in wd_read_part() @ src/libwbfs/wiidisc.
!! ASSERTION FAILED !!!

Looking at the ISO with a text editor it starts
0000h GM8P01
001Ch Â3Ÿ=Metroid Prime
then its all blank until
2440h which has a date 2002/09/05 and then into the data (I presume)
which looks plausible.

So how can I extract a WBFS from this file?

@Rincewindwiz Isn't ISO Tools for Wii ISOs/WBFSes, not GC ISOs?

 

[Rincewindwiz]

Yes - but the ISO was identified as Wii IISO.
How do I tell whether it is or is not a Wii ISO?

@Rincewindwiz Isn't ISO Tools for Wii ISOs/WBFSes, not GC ISOs?

It's certainly developed for Wii first (I haven't figured out how to convert a CISO back to a miniDVD ISO, for example - it defaults to creating a full-size DVD ISO) - but mostly because of the similarities, it somewhat works for GC discs too (it's the best tool I know of for converting to CISO!)

GM8P01

G, so according to Nintendo's product code scheme, it's a Gamecube disc (as the 2002 year should also have highlighted )

While probably theoretically possible, .wbfs files are not conventionally used for Gamecube backups, only Wii's

[Rincewindwiz]

Thanks for that. Disappointing - it was downloaded as a Wii ISO so I suppose just more webshit.
There have been 3 of these and all webshit seems . . . . improbable. But C'est la vie
BTW google tells me that Meroid Prine release as Nov 2002 so the date (Oct 2002) is not that daft!

Wii console was first released in 2006

 

[Rincewindwiz]

Ah. I see
Thx

Command VERIFY does not work for GameCube in the same way as for Wii. The reason is, that there are no checksums to proof.

I'd like to report an issue with the latest version of WIT, I created a batch file and have been using it to compress Gamecube games from ISO to GCZ, I kept getting the same error with version 3.02a and couldn't figure out why. I re-tested it with version 3.01a and the command works flawlessly. This happens with all games that I've tested so far.

E:\Roms\Temp>("E:\Roms\Temp\wit.exe" copy --source "E:\Roms\Temp\xxx.iso" -D "E:\Roms\Nintendo Gamecube\xxx.gcz" --remove --overwrite --gcz )
***** wit: Wiimms ISO Tool v3.02a r7679 cygwin - Dirk Clemens - 2018-11-23 *****
!! wit: ERROR #126 [FATAL ERROR] in wd_read_part() @ src/libwbfs/wiidisc.c#865
!! ASSERTION FAILED !!!

The same batch file works fine with version 3.01a:

E:\Roms\Temp>("E:\Roms\Temp\wit.exe" copy --source "E:\Roms\Temp\xxx.iso" -D "E:\Roms\Nintendo Gamecube\xxx.gcz" --remove --overwrite --gcz )

* COPY/SCRUB 1/1 ISO:/cygdrive/e/Roms/Temp/xxx.iso -> GCZ:/cygdrive/e/Roms/Nintendo Gamecube/xxx.gcz

Thanks.

Thanks.

Also here's my batch file script:

for /r "E:\Roms\Temp\" %%A in (*.iso) do ("E:\Roms\Temp\wit.exe" copy --source "%%A" -D "E:\Roms\Nintendo Gamecube\%%~nA.gcz" --remove --overwrite --gcz)
PAUSE

I downloaded wit-v3.01a-r7464-cygwin.zipwit-v3.01a-r7464-cygwin.zip. I'm trying to use Wiimms ISO Tool to put Mario Kart Wii CTGP v1.02 on an ISO but WIT keeps saying I don't have enough space left on device even though I do. I used instructions from this.

Spoiler

"1 object scanned, 1 supported file found. * COPY/SCRUB 1/1 FST:workdir.tmp -> ISO:new-image/CTGP Revolution v1.02.0003.usa [RMCEG2].iso !! wit: ERROR #88 [WRITE FILE FAILED] in SetSizeSF() @ src/lib-sf.c#1757 !!

You might be trying to use files larger than 4G on a FAT(32) filesystem. Try using another drive that has NTFS or another file system supporting files larger than 4 GB.

 

[FancyNintendoGamer567]

@Natural You can also try WiiBackupManager which will automatically split the WBFS into a .wbfs and .wbf1

 

[Wiimm]

Or you can use wit/wwt with option --split-

Someone found an issue where WIT can destroy the apploader.img file when doing a simple WIT copy of a GC game.
