WBFS2FAT is a tool that transforms a hard drive from WBFS to FAT32, enabling access to the drive without requiring a backup manager and allowing the drive to be repurposed for other functions. All games are preserved during the process. An alternative Python version for other operating systems is also provided. ==Features== * Convert a WBFS partition into a Fat32 partition - on the fly/in place. * Keep games as 4GiB splited ID6.wbfs files in wbfs folder. * Blazing fast - over 10GiB/s (50GiB Test in 4.27s). * Need very little space on other drives: only ~0.0125% of the partition size for Backup and RAM. * Windows + Linux (with some adjustments everything that runs python). * Both GUI and CLI available. * Designed with security in mind: ** Only modifies disk after all other computations. ** Creates backup of modified data. ==User guide== ===Requirements=== * Windows(.exe) - Nothing. * Linux(.py) - python (+PyQt4 for GUI). * Windows(.py) - python + pywin32 + WMI for python (+PyQt4 for GUI). * Windows(Cygwin .py) - Cygwin + its python package. * (The versions marked "update" need to be copied over the next earlier full version). ===Usage GUI=== * Run wbfs2fat without options (e.g. double click). * Select partition from list. * Click "convert to Fat32". ===Usage CLI=== * "wbfs2fat --help" to see all options. * "wbfs2fat -m scan" to list of all wbfs partitions. * "wbfs2fat -m convert " to convert. ===Error Codes=== {| class="wikitable" style="width: 800px;" !style="width: 20%;"|Error codes !style="width: 80%;"|Descriptions |- !0: No Error |Everything went as expected. |- !1: General Error |Something totally unexpected happened. <br> Post the output and ask. |- !2: Argument Error |Check the command line options for typos and the like. <br> |- !3: Not a WBFS partition (missing magic) |Partition is probably not in WBFS format. <br> If it really should be a WBFS at least the identifier in the header is missing. |- !4: Unknown WBFS Version |So far I only encountered versions 0 and 1. <br> If other versions appear wbfs2fat needs to be updated first. |- !5: Additional free Blocks needed |Conversion needs more free space. <br> See chapter "Space" in the [https://gbatemp.net/threads/how-to-convert-from-wbfs-to-fat32-or-ntfs.292391/ tutorial] for details. |- !6: WBFS is corrupted: Blocks used multiple Times |Two or more games claim ownership of the same WBFS data, but only one can be right about it. <br> That meant that at least parts of some games are corrupted. <br> As possibly only a tiny part of a game was overwritten this may have gone unnoticed for years. <br><br> This is caused by a known bug in the original version of the wbfs C library. <br> If you delete a game using a manager, loader or whatever uses an affected library, parts of another game are marked as free too. If you add a game (even with a good lib) these parts are overwritten and the original game is corrupted. <br> Unfortunately it is impossible to recover the data, delete and re-rip is the only way to fix it. <br><br> [[Wiimms ISO Tools|wiimms "wwt"]] can figure out which game the block really belongs to and delete the corrupted ones. <br> You need to download it and run it from a command-line. <br> For details on how to do this see wit verify. <br><br> If you can or want not do this there is another way. <br> Run wbfs2fat with the "ignore-error-6" option. This will generate one copy of the affected block for each game that claims it. This will NOT fix nor identify the corrupted games. <br> But it will allow you to go ahead while keeping your games in the same (bad) shape they are in now. |- !7: Permission denied |wbfs2fat was unable to read any data from the partition. <br> Most likely you simply lack the rights required to do so. Try running wbfs2fat as admin/root. <br> And try closing all WBFS mangers because they sometimes lock the drives. <br> Empty CD drives and the like can show this too. |- |} ==Screenshots== https://dlhb.gamebrew.org/wiihomebrews/wbfs2fatwii3.png ==External links== * Official site - https://www.unix-ag.uni-kl.de/~t_schmid/wbfs2fat/ * GBAtemp - https://gbatemp.net/threads/wbfs2fat-py.291320/ * Detailed Tutorial/Howto - https://gbatemp.net/threads/how-to-convert-from-wbfs-to-fat32-or-ntfs.292391/
