![]() If not then what is the largest capacity external hard drive that I could plug into the usb ports? Thanks a bunch!!! First of all you need to get a portable hard drive which can be powered by the USB port of the Nintendo Wii.Īs the USB port of the Wii only kicks out a certain about of power you may find it will not work because it is under powered. I would like to know if it is going to recognize it. To manage games the users need a WBFS manager like wwt.I have a 2TB external and I want to put lots of stuff on there for my wii that I am going to get. It will be used by most of the WBFS loaders. All other formats needs more space than WDF to store the same content. ![]() A WDF container manage the unneeded ranges holes with only zero data of the Wii discs and of any other files. To save disk space all tools store Plain ISO as sparse files. It is not compressed and not part of any container. The beta test of WIA ended in October There is an alternate Format: FST.įST is not an image, it is an extracted file system. First it was more a proof of concept to find out a format that reduce the needed disc space and can be handled with my tools directly. But it has also a great advantage: It can be used by USB loaders. It has some design impairments : No network byte order, no info about the original file size, blocks must be stored in ascending order. This was the third ISO image file format in my personnel history. Since October it is my standard archive format. WDF is a universal packing container.Īny file can be packed with WDF. This was more efficient than packing with tools like zip or rar : The WDF images are a little bit smaller than compressed images and WDF images can be read and written as fast as plain ISO images. I thought about that problem and decided to create my own tool with a more handy file format: The tool wwt and the file format WDF was born, the first commit into the repository was at September 23 and the first alpha was released at September WDF manage the scrubbed holes. Because of the sparse effect of scrubbed images they take less disc space.īut copying such sparse file with simple copy tools removes the sparse effect. Because this failure and because disc space is cheap I made a copy of all my about 40 Wii discs to a linux ext3 disc.
