[OUTDATED] how to make/read a multi-iso DVD for wii games

Post by doslu »

Automatically translated from French.

hello everyone
created by DACK on GBAtemp
a small piece of advice, make copies of your isos so you don't destroy them
and use the copies to do the following
you can delete them once the job is done


I also recommend games like wii-sport wii-play wii-chess etc (there are plenty to check with wiiscrubber 1.4 as described further below) that are only 300-400 mb which lets you fit a bunch on a single DVD

first of all you'll need to download the pack wiiscrubber 1.40

https://gbatemp.net/index.php?download=4838


in the same folder decompress the following two archives
makekeyBin1.1
wiiscruber 140

first open makekeybin type in the number shown (42 for me) and generate
then open wiiscruber

let's move on to the serious stuff

click on load iso and choose your iso (the copy)
you'll be able to see the real size of the game in the top right
there's no point taking games that are too big if you won't be able to fit several games on the dvd anyway, up to you
then right click on the DATA partition and do "shrink"
say yes and wait for the extraction to finish
at the end right click again on the DATA partition and crypted partition->save (I saved it in the same original file)

repeat the operation for each game you want to put on the same DVD

now we need to create the multi-game iso

take any wii iso which will become your future multi-iso
right click on each partition and delete partition
repeat for ALL the partitions

once this is done right click on WII DISC and import -> crypted
choose your crypted file (game)
for the first one choose 0
then repeat for each crypted file (game) changing the number
in partition 0 we put only one game
I believe but I'm not sure that in the others you can put several, up to 3 to try

now all that's left is to burn your iso as usual

the big moment has arrived, how to play all this

in the pack take the multiboot archive and decompress it in the app folder of your sd

launch the program
you'll need to set the right ios since it's on ios36 by default
for those without a modchip like me it's ios249 with the directional pad, once done press A choose your game and there you go it's on my KIKI


have fun

That seems pretty complicated to me, anyway for now I don't burn wii isos anymore, so I'd rather wait for an improvement of this system

a little extra tip
you can also put pal and ntsc games on the same disc
then you just need to select
1 the game
2 force it to ntsc if necessary

great!!!

also I noticed that the game from partition 0 shows up in the disc channel

I confirm it works but it's a shame, you can only fit 4 games.

that's awesome, you can fit up to 10 games on a DVD (1 in part 0 and 3 in parts 1,2,3) within a limit of 4.5G total!!! But not all games work for now (e.g. mysims kingdom and animal crossing don't start).
Maybe a problem with the HB multiboot (I don't think so because they don't start from the official channel with the Cioscorp either when putting them in first place on the DVD [part 0] even though they should) or the wiiscrubber's shrink, a revision would be welcome but this is only the beginning.
Bravo to the creator and to Doslu for the tutorial.
PS: Can't wait for multi-game launching in the official channel and compatibility with most games.

Question: do cheat codes work?

hi, when I launch the multiboot from the HBC and try to switch from ios 36 to ios 249 it shows me a code dump and lots of numbers. For info my wii is on 3.2E with the cios pack. If anyone has a solution... Thanks in advance.

Do you have preloader and/or wiihome because it does that to me too when I choose a game in the multiboot.

I'm not sure but the last time I tried in "480i" there was a code dump and in "480p" it worked (or the other way around)

I'd have a question: How many MB can you fit on a DVD?
I tried to calculate first with a theoretical value of 4.7 GB which would give us 4.7*1024=4812.8MB
Then I inserted the dvd in my drive and it tells me there is 4.37 GB of free space on the disc which is nevertheless labeled 4.7 GB.
Anyway let me redo the calculation with a real value:
4.37*1024=4474.88
So I used this value to make my multi-discs, is that the right one?

PS: On some tutorials it's 4.7, on others it's 4.37 or something else :?

For those who want a multiboot channel, here it is viewtopic.php?f=12&t=732

the dvd must be at most the size of a WII iso i.e. 4.37 GB (4,699,979,776 bytes)

but wiiscrubber must handle that since you use an empty iso image that is the right size
and you fill it with your files and it adjusts along the way

thanks for the multiboot channel

now you'd need to plug a hard drive into the usb and that would be the icing on the cake :angel:

Thanks, there's a kind of limitation when you exceed 4.37 GB, a message appears, and it's still quite handy. :)
I managed to fit 6 games on the same disc, it's impressive how much you can fit in 4.37 GB! :D

Does anyone know how to determine which game will start on the disc channel when you make a wii multiboot disc with wii scrubber 1.4?
