Download Wbfs ((INSTALL))
Lurline Orban
ok, what I am essentially attempting to figure out is how to take (or create) a .wbfs file that I can mount as a loop to run backups of Wii/GC games... the compression rate is about the highest I have seen for ISOs. I was able to backup New Super Mario Bros as a 4.4GB ISO and compress down to a 1.2GB tar.xz while I was able to get it down to 0.56GB within a 2GB SD formatted to WBFS with WBFS Manager.
Like with any other partition filesystem, I'd like to be able to back it up to a larger drive and mount it whenever possible... but I can't seem to find any concrete info on how to mount a .wbfs filesystem (as a file vs a physical partition) so that it can be accessed by the wbfs manager and/or by dolphin-emu... if anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd greatly appreciated.
Thank you for the quick reply. I did check out 'dolphin-emu' as you suggested. It looks like it is only for playing Wii games on the computer and does not have the capability to convert between ISO/WBFS formats. For now, I'll run a low resource minimum debian disto in virtualbox just for the purpose of running 'qwbfsmanager' when I need it. Maybe some day 'qwbfsmanager' might find it's way into KaOS repos. I really do enjoy the ease of use and visual appeal of this distro and more importantly, the team's ideas and goals. Again, Thank You!
