[TUTORIAL] WiiBackupManager

I need to rename some games and the program doesn't take my edits into account, so a tutorial would be welcome

Thanks

No worries mate!

Does anyone know how I could rename my games so wiiflow sorts them according to my changes?

For example, I rename 5 of my games with this in front -->"' Multiplayer:" to get something like this --> "Multiplayer: Trivial Pursuit"
AND I'd like Wiiflow to show me all my games with the modified names.... see what I mean?

Any idea?

OOPS!! Sorry for the useless message.... I just found the solution 2 messages up

I'll give it a try

Wiiflow relies on the title present in the wiitdb.xml or gametdb.xml which comes from the gametdb site. That's it!

Remove the wiitdb or gametdb.xml file from wiiflow and redownload it

But, it's true there are more and more options.
Does anyone know how to make it so that when you rename a game, it shows up renamed in wiiflow?
I should mention I'm on fat32.
Hello,

First, you need to go into WBM's "Options" menu, then "Settings" and finally the "Titles" tab. Check "Use custom-titles.txt" and, a bit further down, in "File locations", rename custom-titles.txt to custom_titles.txt.
Second, you just need to copy WBM's custom_titles.txt file into WiiFlow's "Settings" folder and rename it to .ini (instead of .txt) by carefully following this procedure HERE.
Then, you just need to remember to update the file in WiiFlow's "Settings" folder every time you rename a title in WBM.

thanks, works perfectly!

Hi!
Back to my problem from the previous page. --> No way to get wiiflow to display the games in the order I chose.

I did take the "custom_titles.txt" (which I edited via wiibackup manager) to copy it onto my SD card in wiiflow's settings, but it doesn't work.
(I put a [TITLES] line back at the start of my games list as specified on the other tutorial site)

Otherwise, here's what I have in the settings before messing with it.
--> Image unavailable (removed by its host)

Should I delete the "titledump" file from wiiflow's setting and replace it with my "custom_titles.txt" file (even once renamed to .ini it stays a text doc it seems)?

I'm lost here

The image is too small, also check that you can see your file extensions in windows, because sometimes an extension gets added to an extension.

Also, did you do this correctly?

When creating this file there needs to be an empty line at the top of the file before the [TITLES] section

I think I renamed it correctly like they say, but what's weird is that once my file is renamed to .ini, it stays like a text file... I mean there's no little blue/grey gear icon on it.

My new file isn't shown here, but once in the settings, it doesn't have that logo :-s

I did indeed add a line so it looks like this:

Nobody for some info???

Go into windows' properties for file and folder display (show extensions) and check your file's extension so it's not .txt.ini or .ini.txt.

I used both, I prefer WiiBackupManager because fewer bugs and faster but harder to understand..
