• Added additional checks for temp folder, to avoid crashes that were occurring when the program was closing. (All those who had issues with the program crashing when exiting should download this update).
• Added remaining Chinese (Traditional) translations.
• Automatically generates a default filename for extracting single ISO files.
• Fixed a minor bug with the installer showing 64-bit instead of 32-bit.

WBFS Manager 3.0 Released

The final release of WBFS Manager is now available here at http://wbfsmanager.codeplex.com/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=26808. The source code is also now available at the same location (It would be much appreciated if any derivative work retained the donation links and references to the main download site on CodePlex). The released installer has two missing lines from the Italian translation and some missing text from the Chinese version that will be released in short order.

This will be the last major release of WBFS Manager, at least for the next few months. I will make any quick fixes that may be necessary but will be discontinuing active work on the project.

As such I’d like to thank everyone for the great support they showed and the positive feedback from most sceners. It was through your great support that this project was made possible and is now the fourth most downloaded project on CodePlex (in the past 7 days).

I'd like to thank everyone who helped in this project, the donors, the translators, the beta testers and of course the main reasons this was possible, Team Twiizers and Waninkoko. I'd also like to thank RedSquirrel who helped get things going for the Channel Creation feature.

Changes (3.0):

• Added Channel Creation support. (Disabled by default, to enable go to Options->Channel Creation and Enable. Follow the instructions provided below.)
• Added "Large Cover View"s, which are two side panels that display the cover for the currently selected item.
• Added Automatically Check for Updates option (Requires Internet access, can be disabled).
• Added the option to cancel batch operations (cancellation occurs as soon as the current item is finished).
• Added drive status indicator under the left-hand list, blue shows amount of used space, green shows amount of used space after adding all entries from the "Games To Add" list.
• Added Help menu option.
• Added direct drive-to-drive copying for drive's with similar sector sizes. Drive-To-Drive copying will now first check if it's possible to do direct copying, if not it will revert to indirect copying.

Fixes (3.0):

• Now automatically requests to Run as Administrator.
• Fixed the estimated size being wrong for some games.
• Fixed an issue with CSV files being exported incorrectly sometimes.
• Save expander states, so the user doesn't have to keep re-opening them each time.
• Fixed Homebrew Channel creation. (Now using WiiCrazy's USB Loader DOL instead of Yal).
• Fixed an issue with the "Estimated Total Size" not updating correctly when games were removed from the right-hand list.
• Now checks the filesystem type of a drive before loading to make sure it's not NTFS, FAT or ext.
• Fixed an issue with games with ":" or other special characters causing issues during batch extraction.
• Fixed issue with game regions showing up incorrectly in initial 2.5 release.
• Fixed issue with RAR files in subfolders not being detected during drag and drop operations.
• Removed thousandth of a seconds from elapsed time in progress bar.
• Fixed mislabled blocks status (was Blocks Used, should be Blocks Free).
• Fixed some other minor issues.
• Changed installer (now prompts for .NET 3.5 SP1 before installing, also gives options for installing langauges, etc).

Channel Creation notes:

WARNING:

Exercise caution when using any channel files from any source as they may result in a banner brick. It’s recommended that you have preloader or some other form of banner brick protection on your Wii before using custom Channels. It’s much safer to use Hombrew Channel entries (which have been fixed in this version). Only create System Menu channels if you know what your doing!

I will not be held responsible for any damage caused to your console as a result of channel creation (or any other use of this software).

Instructions

• To enable channel creation, go to Edit->Options and click on the Channel Creation tab. Then specify the base WAD file that you want to use, the location of the common-key.bin file, as well as the loader that you want to use. Click OK to confirm the changes.
• Once channel creation has been enabled, you can choose one or more entries on the Games To Add list then click "Create Channels" (or right click and choose "Create Channels").
  • If you choose multiple entries, you will be asked to choose a folder to save the WAD files in and a batch creation process will begin.
  • If you choose a single entry, you will be prompted for the 4 letter Channel ID you want to use and where you want to save the file.
    • Be careful with the Channel IDs you choose, if you have an existing channel with the same ID, it will be overwritten when you install the channel.
  • If you want, you can specify a USB loader DOL file other than the packaged presets. To do this, fill in the "USB Loader DOL File" setting with the DOL file you want to use, then type in the placeholder title ID in the "Title ID Placeholder" field, then click OK to confirm the changes.
  • A base WAD is not included with this application, you must supply your own. It is best to use a WAD file that belongs to a channel and one that is the same region as your console.
  • The common-key.bin file is not included with this application, you must supply the common-key.bin file.

Requirements

• .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 (the installer will prompt you to automatically download and install it if you don't already have it.)

Supported Operating Systems

• Windows Vista (tested thoroughly. May need to "Run as Administrator" depending on user's settings and UAC settings).
• Windows 7 (tested and working. May need to "Run as Administrator" depending on user's settings and UAC settings).
• Windows XP (tested by a few other users, should work fine.)

Update: Fixed a new bug

It seems that in fixing the batch extraction issue for games with “:” in their names, I introduced a new, minor bug. When you extract a single game, the filename is incorrect.

I’ve replaced the CodePlex download with a fixed version.

Update: Fixed a few minor issues

I’ve done an in-place update of WBFS Manager 2.5 to address the following issues:

• All games regions were incorrectly being detected as NTSC on the right-hand list
• Games with “:” in the name were failing during batch extract operations.
• Fixed an issue with dragging and dropping folders not detecting RAR files inside the folder and only detecting ISO files.
• Incorrect estimated sizes for some games.

If your experiencing any of these issues, re-download WBFS Manager 2.5 from http://wbfsmanager.codeplex.com/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=26363

WBFS Manager 2.5 Released

 

First off, I'd like to thank the few people who generously donated their hard-earned money, no matter how much the amount was.
Second, I'd like to thank all the translators who put in their own precious time to help with the translations and BarbaxX for the new imagery.
I'd also like to thank the users who provided feedback and sent in their error messages to help improve this version.
This is the last major update to WBFS Manager before version 3.0 which will be feature complete, with the following fixes and changes:

Changes (2.5)

• Added indirect Drive-To-Drive transferring and cloning. (Click Drive-To-Drive expander (the line under the buttons) to show related options).
• Added automatic RAR archive extraction (drag and drop or use the browse button).
• Added batch extraction and deletion. (Hold shift to select a range of items, or hold Ctrl to select separate individual items).
• Added exporting list of games on drive to a .CSV (Comma-separated values) file. Right-click on left-hand list and click export. Can export entire list or only selected items.
• Added ability to use more than one cover directory (all downloaded covers will still be downloaded to My Documents\WBFS Manager Covers)
• Added estimated total size for Games to Add list.
• Added Italian, German and Chinese (Traditional) language support
• Added information about the number of items in each list.
• Added message informing user that they're using the wrong version if they try using 32-bit version on 64-bit Windows.
• Updated some icons and imagery (courtesy of BarbaxX).
• All changes from previous versions are included.

Fixes (2.5)

• Fixed an issue with some buttons being hidden in some languages. (Now using a toolbar. Click on arrow on right side of toolbar to see any hidden icons).
• Fixed a bug with the 2.2.2 not working on Chinese OSes (released earlier as Chinese Edition).
• Fixed some special cases for region codes.
• Fixed some issues with some translations.
• Fixed a few other minor bugs.
• All fixes from previous versions are included.

Indirect Drive-To-Drive transferring and Cloning/Auto RAR Extraction notes

In this version drive-to-drive transferring and Auto RAR extraction are done using an intermediary temporary directory that is set when you first launch WBFS Manager.
The drive with the temporary directory on it should have at least 4.8 GB free space for single layer games. Double-layer games will require more space.
You can change the temporary directory by going to Edit->Options.
To do a drive-to-drive transfer:

1. Load the source drive.
2. Open the Drive-To-Drive section and load the target (secondary) drive.
3. Click "Clone" to copy all games from the source drive to the target drive OR Choose some games from the left-hand list (source drive) using Shift or Ctrl, then click "Copy to this Drive".

Direct drive-to-drive copying will be available in WBFS Manager 3.0.

Notes

• For those of you having issues starting WBFS Manager, please make sure your using "Run as Administrator" for Win Vista and 7.
• If the program is crashing at startup with a message saying "This program has stopped working...", the reason for this 99% of the time is that your .NET FW version is 3.5 instead of 3.5 SP1. Please note, theres a significant difference between these two. To avoid problems, allow the setup to install .NET 3.5 SP1 for you. If you don't want to do that, please use the following correct link for .NET 3.5 SP1: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=AB99342F-5D1A-413D-8319-81DA479AB0D7&displaylang=en
• If your having issues with drive detection make sure the drive was initially formatted as FAT32 and that the partition is a Primary partition.

Requirements

• .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 (the installer will prompt you to automatically download and install it if you don't already have it.)

Supported Operating Systems

• Windows Vista (tested thoroughly. May need to "Run as Administrator" depending on user's settings and UAC settings).
• Windows 7 (tested and working. May need to "Run as Administrator" depending on user's settings and UAC settings).
• Windows XP (tested by a few other users, should work fine.)

The release is available on CodePlex here:

http://wbfsmanager.codeplex.com/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=26363

New release coming soon, WBFS Manager 2.5

A new release is coming very soon with a bunch of new features. I’m just waiting for a few translations to be completed and then I’ll be releasing it.

A few of the new features are:

• Indirect Drive-To-Drive transferring and cloning.
• Automatic RAR archive extraction
• Batch extraction and deletion
• Exporting list of games on drive to a .CSV

The full feature list will be made available with the release so look out for it in the next 24 hours.

Unfortunately there’s no Channel creation in 2.5, still working on that. Also, while 2.5 does have drive-to-drive transferring, it uses an indirect copying method, which means it uses a temporary folder on your computer for the transfer process. Version 3.0 will use direct transfers instead and include Channel Creation. I’ve been working on these features for a while but they’re not ready yet.

Chinese language version now available.

Chinese language has now been added, courtesy of IvanChen. In order to use the Chinese version, uninstall WBFS Manager, then download and install ChineseEdition-x86 (for 32-bit Windows) or ChineseEdition-x64 (for 64-bit Windows).

I’ve tested this by installing Chinese on my Windows, so it should work ;)

http://wbfsmanager.codeplex.com/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=26148

German Language Pack now available

A German language pack for WBSF Manager 2.2.2 is now available courtesy of BarbaxX.

In order to enable German language support in WBFS Manager 2.2.2, download the German Language Pack, extract the zip file and copy the "de" folder into Program Files\WBFS\WBFS Manager 2.2.2 (or \Programme\WBFS\WBFS Manager 2.2.2).

Created a CodePlex page for WBFS Manager

I’ve created a CodePlex page for WBFS Manager where you can always download the latest released version. To download the latest release just click on the “Downloads” link on the right side of the CodePlex page.

At the moment the source code is not available, however I will be releasing the source code sometime soon (once I clean it up a bit.)

The link to the CodePlex page is:

http://wbfsmanager.codeplex.com/

You can also post bug reports, comments and requests there by clicking on the discussions tab. (Note: you may need to create an account to do so.)

Issue with Patch

Apparently the Windows Installer patching mechanism is having some issues, so I'm just going to release a full installer for WBFS Manager 2.2.2 that includes the Chinese fix.

If your using a Chinese OS, Uninstall WBFS Manager 2.2.2. Then, go to "C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Local\" (in Windows Vista and 7) or "C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data" (in Windows XP) and delete the WBFSManager folder. Then, install PatchForChinese-x86.zip or x64.zip by running setup.exe.

Patch: Fixed issues with Chinese OSes

PATCH:
I've released a patch for users with a Chinese operating system. To install the patch download the 32-bit version or 64-bit version of the patch depending on your operating system version and run the WBFSManager2.2.msp file. Click "Repair WBFS Manager". WBFS Manager should now work for Chinese OSes.
Note: Make sure you have WBFS Manager 2.2.2 installed first. This will not work on 2.2.1.

Updated: Additional language support

UPDATE:
I've done an in-place update to WBFS Manager 2.2.2 which makes the changes listed below. You don't need to update to 2.2.2 from 2.2.1 if you don't plan on using the multilingual support (or if you're using French and Spanish translations). This update is mainly intended for addition of languages in the future through the release of "language packs". Languages in the works include Chinese and Polish.
Changes (2.2.2):
-Improved multilingual support (can now add more languages

A few tips if your having trouble

• For those of you having issues starting WBFS Manager, please make sure your using "Run as Administrator" for Win Vista and 7.
• Also, if the program is crashing at startup with a message saying "This program has stopped working...", the reason for this 99% of the time is that your .NET FW version is 3.5 instead of 3.5 SP1. Please note, theres a significant difference between these two. To avoid problems, allow the setup to install .NET 3.5 SP1 for you. If you don't want to do that, please use the following correct link for .NET 3.5 SP1: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=AB99342F-5D1A-413D-8319-81DA479AB0D7&displaylang=en
• Also, if your having issues with drive detection check this thread courtesy of KarlK23. In short, you need to create the partition as a primary partition rather than a logical partition (which is usually the default).

Updated: Fixed a mistake in the installer

There was a stupid mistake in the installer which resulted in the boot.dol and icon.png files being put in the wrong folder during installation. As a result if you try to create an HBC entry you'll get an error. To fix this, go to "Program Files\WBFS\WBFS Manager 2.2.1" and create a new folder called HBC. Copy, dont move, the boot.dol and icon.png files to the HBC folder you created. That should do it.
I've since fixed and uploaded the installer to put it in the correct folder, so if your downloading it from this point onward don't worry about this.

Update: WBFS Manager 2.2.1 Released with delete fix

An in-place update had been done to address the following problems so please redownload and reinstall:
-Fixed the libwbfs delete bug.
-Added functionality to help debug the "crash on startup" situations, namely what tommyv and kruy are facing.
-Added Spanish language support, coutesy of dgtor.

In-place Update:

Re-download the application from the original WBFS Manager 2.2 links (available here: http://wiinewz.com/forums/backup-loaders/95028-wbfs-manager-2-2-a.html)

Replaced the two download links with a new set with two additional features:
-Automatic cover downloading (You will be prompted the first time you run the program if you want to enable or disable this. You can also change this setting later from the Edit->Download Covers from Web menu).
-Region code information
-Changed default location for covers to My Documents\WBFS Manager Covers for better UAC compliance.

Wii Backup File System Manger 2.2 (WBFS Manager 2.2)
Written by AlexDP

This is a minor update to WBFS Manager, with the following fixes and changes.

Fixes:
-Kept error messages from appearing when adding multiple files. If an error occurs, the entry will be marked with a red error symbol in the Games to Add list and a tooltip with the error message will appear if you hover the mouse over the icon.

Changes:
-Added multilingual support (currently only French), contact me if you'd like to add support for your language.
-Added Hombrew Channel creation (not completely tested).
-Added Cover support. Hover mouse over an entry to see the cover.
-Now defaults the selected drive in the drive combo box to the last used drive.
-Item counts for both lists.
-Added Check for Updates to Help menu. Currently only links to WBFS Manager blog which will list updates. Plan to implement proper updater later to help everyone keep up to date.

Cover file instructions:
Copy covers into the Program Files\WBFS\WBFS Manager 2.2\Covers directory to show them in WBFS Manager
OR
Set your own cover directory from the Edit Menu in WBFS Manager (Edit->Set Covers Directory...).
Covers can be disabled by unchecking the Show Covers option (Edit->Show Covers).
Covers can be in subdirectories.
If you use set your own cover directory, that directory will be checked first, then this directory.
Cover files must be named as follows: DISCID.png where DISCID is the 6 letter disc ID for a given game. For example, Wii Sports cover would be: RSPE01.png

Multilingual support details:
WBFS Manager will automatically use the language of your operating system if it is one of the supported languages. If you'd like to manually change the language you can do so from the Edit->Language menu.
Contact me at wbfsmanager { at } gmail.com if you'd like to add support for your language to WBFS Manager.

Note: There is no shared code with the other wbfs_win GUI apps that have been released.
The wbfs_win.exe from the wbfs_win_delta release is also no longer being used by this application. It now uses a cleaner, less hacky way of using the libwbfs source code for direct manipulation.

Note 2: Although I've tested this a good deal it's only the first release and it may have some bugs. If you notice any let me know. For the most part everything should be ok as the actual work with the ISOs and WBFS drive are done in libwbfs. Of course, pulling your USB cable out while copying files isn't going to help.

Requirements:
-.NET Framework 3.5 SP1 (the installer will prompt you to automatically download and install it if you don't already have it.

Supported Operating Systems:
-Windows Vista (tested thoroughly. May need to "Run as Administrator" depending on user's settings and UAC settings).
-Windows 7 (tested and working. May need to "Run as Administrator" depending on user's settings and UAC settings).
-Windows XP (tested by a few other users, should work fine.)

What it does:
This application basically provides a GUI for the command line-based wbfs-win, used for accessing legal Wii Backups stored on disk drives that have been formatted to the WBFS file system.
It provides all the basic functionality that comes with wbfs-win, including formatting to wbfs, adding backups, getting a listing of backups already on the drive, extracting ISOs from the WBFS drive, etc.

Features:
-Listing of games with titles, sizes and codes.
-Drag-and-drop support for adding multiple files at once to the WBFS drive.
-Easy to use interface which also reports available, total and used disk space at a glance.
-Batch processing of multiple ISOs.
-Rename discs on the WBFS drive.

Instructions:
-Install using setup.
-Plug in the hard drive or USB stick.
-Run the application.
-Choose the correct drive letter.
-Click Load. (If you haven't already formatted the disk to WBFS, you can do that by clicking Format).
-You should now see any backups on the drive on the left hand side.
-You can drag and drop ISO files from Windows Explorer onto the right hand side or you can click the browse button.
-Click the Add to Drive button to copy them over to the WBFS drive.
-Enjoy!

Completed Future Plans:
-Using libwbfs directly to achieve greater flexiblity.
-Use a separate worker thread to improve responsiveness when doing IO operations.

Remaining Future Plans:
-ISO library
-Additional info from ISO (Game image shown in Disc Channel,...)
-UnRar functionality to automatically UnRar files and add the iso to the WBFS drive.

-Added first time welcome screen with basic instructions.
-Added "Refresh Drive List" button in case a USB drive was not plugged in when the program started. Clicking Refresh Drive List should show USB drives that were plugged in after WBFS Manager started.
-Added support for dropping a folder instead of one or more iso files. All iso files in the dropped folder and its subdirectories will automatically be added.
-Added progress bars and an activity indicator to indicate the program is running and has not crashed to Windows XP users.

Wii Backup File System Manger 1.0 (WBFS Manager)
Written by Alex


Note: There is no shared code with the other wbfs_win GUI apps that have been released. The wbfs_win.exe from the wbfs_win_delta release however is being used by this application, mainly because the source code for it was so tightly coupled and unflexible that I though it better to do it this way for now and possibly look into a cleaner, less hacky way of using the source code for that directly, based on how much interest is shown.


Note 2: Although I've tested this a good deal it's only the first release and it may have some bugs. If you notice any let me know. For the most part everything should be ok as the actual work with the ISOs and WBFS drive are done in libwbfs. Of course, pulling your USB cable out while copying files isn't going to help.


Note 3: You might notice that the application window will not respond or may turn black when your copying files. This is expected behavior and will hopefully be resolved in the next iteration.
