Working With Wii Game Manager
http://i.imgur.com/xeE30.png
What this program will do for you!
The primary function of this program is conversion to/from .iso and .wbfs files
Sub functions include:
Adding and removing files to/from WBFS formatted partitions
Game cover management (Display and download)
List export and print functions
Partition formatting to WBFS
As of version 1.4 it has support for multiple languages
Has support for most all of the functions of wbfs_file.exe (new functions are added all the time)
Has preliminary support for wiitdb xml information (synopsis, players, genre etc etc)
What this program will not do for you.
It does not include support for formats not supported by wbfs_file.exe (ISO, WBFS, and WBFS partitions)
It does not download games nor will it tell you where to get them, don't ask or I will make you walk the PLANK.
Download: Wii Game Manager
- Once you have downloaded Wii Game Manager; extract it to the desired location.
- Run the .exe! file. It will create the folders that are needed; then start up.
- If you want to create a shortcut you can. Just drag the shortcut to the desktop.
Converting an ISO to WBFS format
- Open up Wii Game Manager as administrator
- Click Open in the top left corner.
- Open .iso files (List A) find your ISO (make sure it's in a folder)
- Click on the .ISO file, then press O.K. The game should show up on the screen.
- Right click on the game title and there will be an option to create .wbfs files or .wbfs files with subdirectory (recommended with FAT32 or NTFS formats)
- If you're on FAT32 and your game is over 4gb, you will need to split the game file. Pick where you want the game to be created ie. c:/ windows/desktop. Now your ISO is being converted to the .wbfs format (look at the bottom of Wii Game Manager window to see how long it's taking). Once the conversion has finished, you are done.
