WBFS Manager 3.0
Other Available Downloads
Release Notes
Changes (3.0):
- Added Channel Creation support. (Disabled by default, to enable go to Options->Channel Creation and Enable. Follow the instructions provided below.)
- Added "Large Cover View"s, which are two side panels that display the cover for the currently selected item.
- Added Automatically Check for Updates option (Requires Internet access, can be disabled).
- Added the option to cancel batch operations (cancellation occurs as soon as the current item is finished).
- Added drive status indicator under the left-hand list, blue shows amount of used space, green shows amount of used space after adding all entries from the "Games To Add" list.
- Added Help menu option.
- Added direct drive-to-drive copying for drive's with similar sector sizes. Drive-To-Drive copying will now first check if it's possible to do direct copying, if not it will revert to indirect copying.
Fixes (3.0):
- Now automatically requests to Run as Administrator.
- Fixed the estimated size being wrong for some games.
- Fixed an issue with CSV files being exported incorrectly sometimes.
- Save expander states, so the user doesn't have to keep re-opening them each time.
- Fixed Homebrew Channel creation. (Now using WiiCrazy's USB Loader DOL instead of Yal).
- Fixed an issue with the "Estimated Total Size" not updating correctly when games were removed from the right-hand list.
- Now checks the filesystem type of a drive before loading to make sure it's not NTFS, FAT or ext.
- Fixed an issue with games with ":" or other special characters causing issues during batch extraction.
- Fixed issue with game regions showing up incorrectly in initial 2.5 release.
- Fixed issue with RAR files in subfolders not being detected during drag and drop operations.
- Removed thousandth of a seconds from elapsed time in progress bar.
- Fixed mislabled blocks status (was Blocks Used, should be Blocks Free).
- Fixed some other minor issues.
- Changed installer (now prompts for .NET 3.5 SP1 before installing, also gives options for installing langauges, etc).
Channel Creation notes:
- To enable channel creation, go to Edit->Options and click on the Channel Creation tab. Then specify the base WAD file that you want to use, the location of the common-key.bin file, as well as the loader that you want to use. Click OK to confirm the changes.
- Once channel creation has been enabled, you can choose one or more entries on the Games To Add list then click "Create Channels" (or right click and choose "Create Channels").
- If you choose multiple entries, you will be asked to choose a folder to save the WAD files in and a batch creation process will begin.
- If you choose a single entry, you will be prompted for the 4 letter Channel ID you want to use and where you want to save the file.
- Be careful with the Channel IDs you choose, if you have an existing channel with the same ID, it will be overwritten when you install the channel.
- If you want, you can specify a USB loader DOL file other than the packaged presets. To do this, fill in the "USB Loader DOL File" setting with the DOL file you want to use, then type in the placeholder title ID in the "Title ID Placeholder" field, then click OK to confirm the changes.
- A base WAD is not included with this application, you must supply your own. It is best to use a WAD file that belongs to a channel and one that is the same region as your console.
- The common-key.bin file is not included with this application, you must supply the common-key.bin file.
Requirements
- .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 (the installer will prompt you to automatically download and install it if you don't already have it.)
Supported Operating Systems
- Windows Vista (tested thoroughly. May need to "Run as Administrator" depending on user's settings and UAC settings).
- Windows 7 (tested and working. May need to "Run as Administrator" depending on user's settings and UAC settings).
- Windows XP (tested by a few other users, should work fine.)

Kiakakyle, the 64 bit version is available on the website under downloads. In the matter of a review, WBFS Manager exactly what is needed to handle WBFS partitions and Wii/GC backups, and does it as well as anyone can hope for. 5 stars.

Installed it on a Vista 32 OS, works great and fast with .iso. Slower with wbfs, I managed to put 200 games at once on a HDD (500GB), took me about 11 hours, no problem for me though as I did it in the evening and everything was done when I woke up the following morning. Very usefull and good working tool!

The only one I know that works perfectly under Win 7 64bits... The fifth star will be when it will be possible to export (HTML or other) de game list with covers and names (like wbfstools does).
Thanks a lot for this great app.

I'm running Windows 7 and version 2.5/3.0 of the software. If you try to remove an entry that was made doing a direct install, this software will throw an error trying to access protected memory. It is an un-handled error and causes the program to crash. This option is done using either the button or the right-clicked pop-up menu.

This is hands down one of the easiest backup managers to use. Nice one alex. oh and by the way, the review that is 4 down from mine, that guy is a complete retard, no literaly, i think he is slow. WHY ON EARTH WOULD A WBFS DRIVE STORE ISO'S? IT IS WBFS FORMAT MY GUY. Again thanks alex for the great program and keep up the fine work. I would have given it 10 stars, but i didnt have an option. lol

The last comment from 'ustyrant' said WBFS Manaager "WILL NOT clone or copy ISO's to another HDD". That is not a function of any WBFS product. What it will do is extract single or multiple ISOs from the WBFS file to other HDs. The other product referenced in his review crashes with a int32 error when accessing large WBFS files.
WBFS Manager is a good product, but I was only able to add 99 games.

Horrible. It works great to format to WBFS, and to simply move ISO's to the disk, but it WILL NOT clone or copy ISO's to another HDD.
For this, use http://www.nubecoder.com/files/wii/ncWBFSTool_v1.1.b3.rar
I wasted OVERNIGHT time several times, only for it to fail miserably. The aforementioned tool worked flawlessly the first time.
BEWARE

Hopefully this will help someone, I've used this program in the past with both vista and windows 7 32 bit, & recently upgraded to windows 7 64bit. For some reason I couldnt get netframework 3.5 to install properly so I tryed netframework 4.0 with windows 7 64 bit and it works flawlessly. Maybe that will help someone else out. Would like 2 also ad a Big Thanks to the creator(s) of the WBFS software

Many thanks and well done, donation will be made soon.

Opera does not support ClickOnce X
To install this application, save it and then open it. Opening it directly from Opera will not work correctly.
