Interface to install your isos on dd for USBloader

Post by doslu »

Automatically translated from French.

A handy little program to put your isos onto the hdd or usb drive for Waninkoko's usb loader

This content is for members only. Log in or register for free to see it.


How does it work?
Your wii hdd must be in wbfs.

Unzip the archive into a folder on your desktop


Put your isos at the root of your hdd in a wiiiso folder
e.g. c:\wiiiso
Don't put spaces in the iso names.
e.g.: mario party.iso ->bad
mario-party.iso->good

Start the program.

Type in the letter of your wii hdd (in the box on the right).

Search for your isos (browse)

Transfer them with > for the selected iso or >> for all the isos

for vista users you need to disable UAC


1. Enter MSCONFIG from the Run menu.
2. Click on the Tools tab, choose Disable User Account Control by clicking on it, this will generate a command line which you will then execute by clicking the Run button. See opposite.
3. You can close the window that opens indicating Operation successful, as well as MSCONFIG.
4. Restart your computer so the change is properly applied.

There you go

Thanks for the tutorial Doslu, personally I don't have an external drive big enough to put an iso on, but I know that if I had one, I'd use this application :D

You need to put the wbfs_win.exe file in the same folder as wbfsgui

your iso names must have no space
ex: Mario kart written like that it won't find it but Mariokart like that is fine

I stand corrected, it's indeed wiiiso
at the root of your drive e.g. -> c:\wiiiso

I think I actually found the issue: the Megaupload archive given above doesn't contain the famous "wbfs_win" but the 2 files "wbfs.exe" and "cygwin1.dll"

So the whole thing won't work! You need to grab the archive containing the file called "wbfs_win".

I tested it, it works for me just like in the vista screenshot ...

For me I have two folders, one with ("wbfs.exe" and "cygwin1.dll" and "wbfsgui") which gives me an error and closes, and the other ("wbfsgui" and "wbfs_win") which opens the software but doesn't find my isos in my "wiiiso" folder so I don't know??
I have xp sp2 and I just downloaded ".net framework 3.0" so my setup isn't bad, so ugh, I don't know :shock:

On Vista I don't see my games that are in C:/wiiiso, even though I did everything correctly, so no space in the game name and I have all the files needed.

last attempt
create a folder on your desktop named wbfswin
extract the new archive into it (the two files)
and try

I think on vista you have to be under "administrator"

To see your isos, you need to put them at the root of C:\ :D

I had that too.

I tested my 2GB usb key (PNY) with the game "hamster heroes" like waninkoko, it works great!

On the other hand, when I want to add a second iso it tells me I'm out of space even though "hamster heroes" only takes 0.010 GB :62:

Sure, that's because your isos are 4GB to begin with. But the little "wbfsgui" tool actually lets you "trim or compress" your isos automatically! And you even see instantly the final size of your isos in the left column of the little "wbfsgui" tool!!

The game "hamster heroes" goes from 4.7 gb to 50mb :mrgreen:

Indeed, as doslu said, the size varies depending on the game. Game isos take up 4.7 GB because there are partitions filled with 0s that are useless. With the USB loader, when you install a game on your USB drive or your HDD the program automatically trims (removes the useless partitions) your games, so they take up much less space.

Ah this waninkoko, he's brilliant!...
