User guide

This section contains important notes for Wii Backup Fusion from the original readme.

Look & Feel of Qt applications

You can configure the look & feel of Qt applications, incl. Wii Backup Fusion.

This contains GUI styles, 3-D effects, fonts, interface settings and so on. Use Qt's own setting editor 'qtconfig', it's in "/qt/bin/".

WBFS partitions/hdds

WiiBaFu needs root/admin permissions to access WBFS hdds/partitions.

If WiiBaFu don't work with your user permissions, start WiiBaFu with 'sudo WiiBaFu' or in admin mode.

DVD drive

The dvd drive path is platform specific.

For Linux use /dev/sr0 for the first S-ATA drive (must be adapted to your drive), for Mac OS X use normally /dev/disk2 (Mac with integrated hdd and dvd drive).

On Windows, WIT use cygwin to access the drive, the drive letters doesn't work. Use /dev/sr0 for the first S-ATA drive (must be adapted to your drive).

Languages

Wii Backup Fusion supports different languages. It uses the system locale to switch the languages.
