Wiithon is a user-friendly tool for managing Wii games on Linux. It is built using a combination of programming languages such as python, c, c++ and bash. The software comes with both a command-line version and a graphical interface, making it easy to use for users of all levels of technical expertise.

With Wiithon, you can easily add, extract, remove, format, and rename games on your WBFS partition. It also features automatic detection of WBFS drives, even if you plug them in after the GUI runs.
