WWT Command Cheat Sheet - Vega - 02-15-2018

WWT Command Cheat Sheet

WWT is the command interface of WIT Tools to format USB Stick to the WBFS format, and the ability to add/remove/extract WBFS or ISO files to the WBFS Drive.



--WBFS vs FAT32
Pros: Has essentially a 0% failure rate. When using FAT32 there are rare occasions when the USB loader can't boot the game and you will end up at a black screen. I've been using WBFS USB via WWT for quite some time and I have yet to have one failure. Also games get added quicker to the USB in comparison to FAT32.

Cons: WiiFlow cannot recognize a WWT WBFS formatted USB. This is a bug with WiiFlow, not WWT. The last update to WiiFlow was in Dec 31, 2013. Use USB Loader GX instead. Also, since the USB is in WBFS format, you cannot read it normally on your computer, and you cannot use the USB for anything else other than WBFS/ISO games.



Windows cmd/command-prompt Commands 
The examples provided are for when the USB stick is in the E Drive. This can vary. When you insert your USB stick, be sure to check which drive it is mounted to. Adjust commands accordingly. You must also have admin permissions on your Windows machine.

For all commands, you must do this first...

Open cmd/command prompt.
cd \Program Files (x86)\Wiimm\WIT

To format USB stick to WBFS
1. wwt format /:E --test
2. If test show no errors, you are OK to proceed.
3. wwt format /:E --force
4. wwt analyze /:E (if no errors occur, you are good to go)

To add ISOs/WBFSs to Drive
1. wwt add --auto /path/to/where/your/ISOWBFS/is
2. USB 3.0's take around 3 minutes, USB 2.0's take about double that time
3. Once finish, be sure to eject the drive properly. (Right click, choose Eject)

To list ISOs/WBFSs of Drive
1. wwt list /:E

To remove ISOs/WBFSs from Drive
1. wwt remove --auto XXXXYY
XXXXYY = Game ID

To extract ISOs/WBFSs from Drive onto Computer
1. wwt extract --auto XXXXYY /path/towhere/youwant/ISOWBFS/to/be



Linux Commands (example USB stick is sdb1)
You must do step 1 to be absolutely sure what drive your USB is located at!!! Some computers may actually have the USB be on sdc1 instead of sdb1, be sure to double check! Also, we are assuming we are starting off with a USB stick already in FAT32 format.

To format USB stick to WBFS
1. sudo fdisk -l (USB drive is usually listed at the very bottom)
2. sudo umount /dev/sdb1
3. sudo wwt format /dev/sdb --test (do not include the partition number)
4. If test show no errors, you are OK to proceed.
5. sudo wwt format /dev/sdb --force
6. sudo wwt analyze /dev/sdb (if no errors occur, you are good to go)

To add ISOs/WBFSs to Drive
1. sudo umount /dev/sdb
2. cd (to the directory where your WBFS/ISO is located)
3. sudo wwt add --auto example.wbfs
4. USB 3.0's take around 3 minutes, USB 2.0's take about double that time
5. Once finished, you are OK to pull USB out of computer

To list ISOs/WBFSs of Drive
1. sudo wwt list /dev/sdb

To remove ISOs/WBFS from Drive
1. sudo wwt remove --auto XXXXYY
XXXXYY = Game ID of ISO/WBFS

To extract ISOs/WBFS from Drive to Computer
1. sudo wwt extract --auto XXXXYY --dest /path/to/desiredfolder
XXXXYY = Game ID of ISO/WBFS
Example: sudo wwt extract --auto RMCE01 --dest /home/user/mygames

That's new for me. Maybe the difference is, if you format /dev/sdb (the complete stick) or /dev/sdb1 (first partition only). I tested deeply the formatting of partitions only.
