Consdering the internal memory isnt large enough for a Wii game, and we dont have HDD support yet, and wont

Nintendo Wii GameCube NDS Playstation 3 XBOX 360 Scene News Site - TehSkeen

It's the 1st news link and it also has the link to the download. I tried last night when it was released and can confirm it works as I am running Brawl off a 120Gb Western Digital

Wow this is amazing

+1 internets to you

[pepsiflame]

Yeah, Waninkoko released it last night. lol It's badass.

[Venomous Fire]

Im gonna test it with Animal crossing...maybe Twilight princess, considering those are only games I own, then maybe D/L one and see if I can pop it on through windows lol

If I get it all working I might write up a simple tut

Again, thanks

[pepsiflame]

No prob, bro. Just sharing some info with fellow Wii modders. Currently, idk how to put games on the hard drive from Windows as the Wii formats the hard drive in it's own format. I hear linux can access it and people are working on programs to access it from Windows, but idk how long that could take.

[Venomous Fire]

Well I have the windows version, but I dunno how to work it lol

Wii Backup File System (WBFS) for Windows - WiiNewz - Wii modchip & hacking community

There's a readme if you scroll through the forum. I have not yet tested it, but I will soon. If I get it to work, I'll let you know.

Sorry for double post, but in my knowledge of command line, I got a little closer:

ok so I drag wbfs.exe into command prompt. I type add after it and then type my isoname.iso and hit enter. It comes up with "cannot find any wbfs partition (verify permissions)): No such file or directory"

I just need to figure out the last part of the puzzle here.

[Venomous Fire]

Yea, i read the readme, but could quite figure out what all was needed lol

Maybe try formatting with usbload and then plug that drive in and try from there?

[pepsiflame]

Hell Yeah!!! I figured it out, but it's gonna take an hour(using USB 1.1 slot) to copy a game from PC to HDD.

1)drag wbfs_win.exe into command prompt
2) *space* (type letter of drive)
3) *space* (type "add")
4)drag .iso file into command prompt
5) hit "enter"

Badass. I don't have a Wii, but my friend does. I'll have to tell him about this...

[pepsiflame]

If you or him need any help with anything, let me know.

UPDATE:

Check tehskeen. They have now released a GUI for Windows. No more dealing with command line.

My sister has a wii, but won't be too fond of me modding it

[pepsiflame]

Tell her all the positives to modding it. She will love it when she knows of all the possibilities the Wii has.

Looking forward to trying this. Thanks.
