    (v0.4.5 build 78)

    Wii Backup Manager is a WBFS management utility for Windows PCs. Wii Backup Manager is an excellent program that can manage FAT, NTFS and WBFS drives and convert between ISO, CISO, and WBFS files. There are also several automated tasks, the program automatically splits games and treats an NTFS or FAT32 partition as a WBFS partition and automatically creates the appropriate folder. Of course the program still has many other features.



    Changelog:
    0.4.5 build 78
    |-Fixed: The database "convert to internal format" freezes at 0.56% with the latest GameTDB database. A simple typo caused the bug that really should've shown up before.
    |-Changed: Update link to WUpload has been removed from the app, replaced with a link to the WBM website.
    |-Added: New features for the export templates that allow creating a multiple column table. See the ncwbfsstyle template. "Entry step" = how many entries to output between the [Entry header] and [Entry footer].
    |-Fixed: The database list wasn't refreshed after changing the settings. eg. Title colours etc.
    |-Fixed: After recent tests trying to get Direct3D working with WIn64, I accidentally got the OpenGL and Direct3D renderers mixed up.
    |-Fixed: Resetting the Original title colour in the settings dialog made it green instead of blue. That bug must've existed from day one.


    Basic Usage

    Select the "Drive 1" tab.
    Click "Drive" menu, select your drive.
    Select the "Files" tab.
    Click "Add" and select "Files..". Select your ISOs, CISOs, RARs, .wbfs in the dialog.
    In the files list, tick all the items you want to transfer to the WBFS drive.
    Click "Transfer" and select "Drive 1".
    Done.

      Does your pc see the drive? Make sure it is plugged in before you start the program too.

      ok, just downloaded this to see what the deal was ( i still had 0.3.8). You have to click on drive 1 or drive 2 first, otherwise it will not give you all of the drives available. That is the case with all versions.

      Maybe download WBM again and see. There is nothing wrong with the one I just downloaded.

      I am having an issue extracting the .exe files. I can extract every other file and I can see the 64 and 32 .exe files in the .zip file but when I try to extract the .exe I get an error stating that "there are no files to extract". I am not behind a proxy. Please help!

      Why dont you just extract all and be done with it? I can't imagine why you would click individually on each thing.

      I do extract all but like I said the .exe don't extract, so I open the zip file and then I can see the .exe files. I try to extact them individually but I get that error. I have never had issues in the past downloading executables.

      I don't know if the link is dead or incorrect but it leads to an afoc.us and downloads a program called iLividManager. I installed it just to see what happens and nothing. I don't see any trace of wii backup manager anywhere.

      That is an ad. Wait until the skip button appears in the top right and click it. Or you can just click THIS. I hate those ads too!

      Hi I cant get this to work. I open WBM. I hit drive 1 tab and hit the drop down bar. I select the drive letter where my usb stick is. I then select file tab, then select add then files.. window opens, I browse to where the iso is, select it. It then brings up a new box within WBM with "adding files..." at the top, a green bar with "total:00:00:00 - 100.00%" below that it says "finished" below that another green bar, then the name of the .iso in red. And that's it. It doesn't move into the main box from where I should be able to select it then transfer it. Plz help.

      Hi guys very new to all this. Got my kids wii modded working yesterday & was pretty hassle free. Loaded games I had with wii backup manager & worked fine. There is no cover art when we go to games through usb loader. Im know it will be easy but how do I get cover art & load it?

      I'm not sure & don't really know how to check (sorry, very new to this & not a techo, actaully amazed that I was able to do it & it worked!
      ).

      I found this site LinkBucks.com - Get your share! (it's modmii)

      & did it this way

      Im not experienced enough with Modmii to know what loader it installs. Launch it (the loader). It should say somewhere what loader it is...
