Hacking WBFSSync

[Omega Frost]

@Wiimm

For now, the only way to use cISO is using the console application (Console.exe) through the command:

unciso filein fileout -s

filein: source file, must be a cISO
fileout: destination file, output will be an iso or syncscrub
-s: optional parameter, extract the cISO to syncscrub instead of iso

@Omega Frost:

Thanx for the info. Perhaps you take a look at this: WDF = Wii Disc File. I have already implemented it in my linux cli wbfs tool and it looks very good.

Interesting format, well organized and flexible, more than mine i have to admit because of the split, i'll see what i can do with it...

I have already installed it into my wbfs tool and tested it: It works fine. With the additional tools iso2wdf and wdf2iso i have converted more than 1 million files (all files that users in a research institute collect; and yes WDF is not ISO depended) and compared the results: no errors found.
Only split support is missing. If you wait 2-3 weeks I will have implemented all and have written a sample implementation with comments.

BTW: The implementation has no tricks, it resides in the usual WBFS wrapper functions.

CRAP!!!! So I just fired up your program and it asked if I want to update. i said yes to the update and then i clicked on the settings screen and i get all this to pop up. if im not in the settings screen, i don't get the messages, but it eventually crashes.

Spoiler

 

[Omega Frost]

Sorry, i found this bug but i forgot to fix it on v07, it will try to close the settings on every operation update, in 2.0.08 i changed it to only when the user try to change something.

Hi, very interesting project and nice work so far!

I was wondering if you've got any information regarding Hermes cISO format please? I'd like to add read support for cISO format files to the Dolphin emulator but I'm not having any luck finding information regarding the cISO format.

Thank you.

@gizmomelb

As far as i can understand unhexing values from a cISO, the file is build this way:

The Header has 32768 bytes, the size of a Wii Sector;
The first 4 bytes are the file id, the string 'CISO';
The next 4 bytes are the WBFS sector size used in the file, the variable is an unsigned int;
The next bytes are the wbfs sector usage table, each byte represents one sector where 0 is a not used sector.

There is also a padding after the usage table, because it does not have necessarily 32760 bytes, it's size depends of the wbfs sector size

Keep in mind that you need to find the number of wbfs sectors per disc used by the cISO file in order to know the usage table size, to do that:

//WiiSectorSize is a constant of size 32768
WiiSectorsPerWBFSSector = WbfsSectorSize / WiiSectorSize

//WiiSectorsPerDisc is a constant of size 143432 * 2
WBFSSectorsPerDisc = WiiSectorsPerDisc / WiiSectorsPerWbfsSector;

After the Header, there are the used sectors, each one with "WbfsSectorSize" bytes.

Hi, thank you very much for the info - it certainly gives me something to get started with. I'll post here if I work it all out and add cISO support (and I'll look at WBF as well) to Dolphin. Thank you for your help and sharing of knowledge.

 

[nubecoder]

I'd like to add that it is very easy to adjust iso renaming code to support ciso, simply offset by one wii disc sector (32768).

While dealing with cISO for my prog I did the same as Omega Frost (using a hex editor to inspect and compare to a standard iso, etc) to get my initial info.

Also if it helps at all Hermes does include his source with every release.

This is such a good WBFS related program. I like the way you made the GUI,

. BTW, I noticed there was no Spanish language file, so...

As you can notice, the updates are less frequent, don't worry, the project is still up, but i am in a very busy and probably will be until jan ~ feb 2010, so the updates can be less frequent, i will try to release a new update this week including some bug fixes with the library (not critical, don't worry).

@nubecoder

Thanks, i'll check the code to see if there's any more aspect of the cISO to consider.

@PabloACZ

Thanks for the contribution, i will upload the code to the SVN repository and will be included with the next versions.

 

[pccfatman]

Hey Omega,

Thanks for the great proggy, I love it. Can't wait to see what else you have coming

Just a note, when I first started the program and it was updating covers, I entered the config to change language and it kept asking to save(i think, I dont read spanish)

Perhaps in a future release you could have the proggy ask what default language to use when it is started for the first time, although it wasn't too hard to figure out how to switch it, it might be nice for others.

Another suggestion (if it's not already there and i'm just blind). Would it be possible to add a "Download Cover" option to the right click context menu to allow downloading of a single cover. I also turned off auto download covers, but after that can't seem to download covers at all unless I turn it back on and restart the program.

Also, would it be possible to add drag/drop functionality to the program, so I could drag iso/ciso/syncscrub files from my pc to my wbfs drive (dunno how to implement the reverse other than a context menu at drop to determine write to iso or syncscrub)

Would it also be possible to add a large cover view (for us blind folks)?

Thats all I can think of atm, I'll post more later if I find any bugs or think of any more work I can add to your already busy schedule

 

[gizmomelb]

Omega Frost - I was wondering if you might please consider adding cISO support to your transfer manager as well - as I've got all of my cISO images as files archived on an NTFS partition (which I generally use WBFS-Manager to them transfer them to my 120GB WBFS formatted USB drive when I actually want to play them (but WBFS-Manager has a heap of issues, notably not treating files >2GB correctly etc.)

Thank you.

 

[pccfatman]

I believe it already has preliminary cISO via the console program, and in one of his posts he said he still needed to implement it into the GUI.

I thought of something else

When using the rename function, would it be possible to separate the GameID and the title, I seem to keep renaming the ID right out of my games and causing an unhandled exception, I apparently have clumsy fingers

 

[pccfatman]

Just came up with another one, If I have 2 copies of a game, one pal and one NTSC with different gameID's but the same name, I can't add them both to the WBFS drive without renaming one of them.
Im assuming you made it check based on the name and not the gameID, is this the case or am I missing something?

 

[hackotedelaplaqu]

Same issue as pccfatman here with my custom GH3 games.
Ids aren't the same but all named "GH3 Custom".
Customs covers don't display either (only one, the same for all the 5 games).

Also, I noticed that Tale of Symphonia is shown as a PAL game but it's NTC-U.
Any idea about that ?

Finaly, the app crashs when you set library dirs but they arent accessible (eg : on a removable media).

Besides, it's a very good WBFS tool !
Keep the good work !

 

[Omega Frost]

@pccfatman

I am aware of this bug, i have already fixed it with a few other errors and i am doing a full test because of some concurrent access to library isos are hanging the application.

I have also added the Drag'n'Drop and individal (selected isos) cover download, the drag'n'drop is only from the PC to WBFSSync.

You are having problems with the rename functionality? Could you please post the Exception code?

As for the same-name bug, it isn't a bug, the program checks both Code and Name to avoid mistaken results, some WBFS routines that i implemented allow get the disc by name, also i don't know how other managers work to get the discs.

About the Language problem, since the .inf names are an ISO standard for naming, the next release will do auto selection on startup or fallback to English instead of Portuguese.

The covers were supposed to be just a 'hint' when browsing the game, larger covers can be done, but it can take a while...

@hackotedelaplaque

Is your 'Tales of Symphonia' a PAL recoded to NTSC?

@gizmomelb

WBFSSync grew a little bit on supported formats, i need to redesign it's structure to allow a better implementation for all files, it's a major work. Doing 'if' chains inside every code to get the format is starting to get uggly...

You can aways count on the COnsole application

 

[hackotedelaplaqu]

Hi Omega Frost.
ToS2 is a clean iso NTSC (the game isn't released in Europe).
Others wbfs managers and USBLoadercfg show this game as NTSC.
ID is RT4EAF.

 

[pccfatman]

Hey Omega,

Thanks for the response, here is a ss of the exception, hope it helps

This error occurs when renaming a file but leaving off the gameID and just putting the name of the game, IE: XXXXX - Game Name, Renamed to just Game name

I get a few games that are NTSC that show as PAL as well, although I couldn't tell you the titles, I just remember running across them at one point, but since it didn't really matter to me I didn't think to say anything (my bad)
