Why the Fork?

TL;DR: The issue with split files not working on FAT32 partitions using the default splitting settings in Wiibafu has been fixed.

Wiibafu, a backup solution for Wii games, had a bug where split files wouldn't work on FAT32 partitions using the default settings. This was because the program was set to split files at 4G (GiB) by default, but FAT32 partitions have a maximum file size of 4GB (4G-32K). This caused issues for users with FAT32 partitions. The original development of Wiibafu stopped in 2013, but the bug has been fixed by forking the project and changing the default split size to "4G-32K" to ensure that split files can be read on FAT32 partitions.

How To Run

Wiimms ISO Tools (WIT) required. Grab them here, then extract it.

• On Linux/Mac, run sudo sh install.sh. If you don't know how to do that, you can go into WiiBaFu's settings and change the path to WIT to be the bin folder in the download. Right click -> Open to use it.
• On Windows, run windows-install.exe and then restart your computer. Make sure you fix the path to Wiimms ISO Tools in the settings of this tool!

Linux users: this application must be run under the command line.

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).
