carldell Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 i cant figure out for the life of me .how i can send games to big box from WBFS . do i need to change them to isos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 What seems to be your issue could you provide us a little more information. Do you have .wbfs files working in Dolphin outside of BigBox. As long as the emulator is playing the games it should work in LB just by setting it to the wbfs if you are having issues running it in Dolphin I would suggest making sure the copy of the game that you have is good.

carldell Posted August 16, 2016 Author Share Posted August 16, 2016 im sorry im new to all this . especially LB, but for every game i installed to LB i just clicked and dragged . no seeing that an option with these WBFS files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombeaver Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 It's okay. We're here to help. Your response doesn't answer DOS' question, however. Are you able to get them to run in Dolphin normally (taking LB completely out of the equation)? If so, you may just need to make some adjustments in LB. If not, well then you've got another problem.

Zombeaver Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 And in LB do you have an emulator setup for use with Wii games? If not, you'll need to add Dolphin and add Nintendo Wii to the associated platforms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carldell Posted August 16, 2016 Author Share Posted August 16, 2016 yup got that far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombeaver Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 So what is happening when you try to drag them into LB? LB doesn't actually care what the file type is - it'll categorize them under whatever platform you tell it to (in this case you'd just tell it that you're importing Wii games).

carldell Posted August 16, 2016 Author Share Posted August 16, 2016 well in WBFS i dont see an option to grab it from there. all i see is extract as iso and that eats up alot of space Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Okay what is in wbfs mean as far as my knowledge wbfs is a file type. Are we talking about something different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombeaver Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Well you have to have something to associate your game entries with. My knowledge of WBFS specifically is limited, but don't you have individual files for them? If so, I'm not sure why you'd need to do anything "in WBFS". You should be able to just drop in the WBFS files and tell LB to use Dolphin as the associated emulator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carldell Posted August 16, 2016 Author Share Posted August 16, 2016 the only way i can see the wii games is on WBFS manager. and that is with a specially formatted HD that cant read in windows . so i cant see any files. only thing i see ,is the games and no way to my knowledge to drag and drop .

Are we talking about something different It is a file type. It has a standalone manager as well though. Newer builds of Dolphin support loading games of WBFS file type, just like any other emulator supporting say .zip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 yeah I thought the emulator handled them for while now but I could be wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 WBFS files work just fine through Launchbox and Dolphins, or at least the 3 games I do have in that format do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I have Project Zero 2 as a WBFS file in LB and I have it running no issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what to tell you. WBFS is a file type that is usable in association with Dolphin via Windows. There has to be some way to extract them. That's not an LB question though, that's a WBFS Manager question. Beyond that you could look into launching them via special command line parameters. 3 minutes ago, lordmonkus said: WBFS files work just fine through Launchbox and Dolphins, or at least the 3 games I do have in that format do. Right, but he apparently can't get to them/see them on the hard drive where they're stored... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombeaver Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 On the description for WBFS Manager page one of the features is "batch extraction and deletion". That's probably where you need to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
