Just get homebrew, it's the only way to run SMGExtractor. And it's just as legal as Riivo.

Status: It was really, really fun, guys - thanks for the ride!

I have a suggestion for SMGExtractor. What about extracting the apploader? I have checked the source code and the Wii Disc format at WiiBrew and it could be possible if we extend the FST_INFO structure in fst.c to add an entry for the apploader offset and then add functions to read the apploader (I didn't check if it works).

I mentioned it in [thread=681]. It's just matter of adding one line of code.

But I have to overhaul the code a bit, namely, implementing overlapped I/O and other good stuff...

Yes. You'd need to select the option to dump everything, though.

Just wondering but would this work on wii u?
I thought usb loaders on wii u coudln't copy a retail disc to a hdd/usb, so did anyone tried to copy files on a wii u with the extractor?
If not, I will try to know for sure.

As long as you can have HBC installed on a WiiU, this should work.

All it requires is AHBPROT access but that's just because of a design flaw in the DI library. If I build a modified one, I can remove that requirement.

SMGExtractor is also different from disc backup tools in that it doesn't read the raw disc data. Instead it reads the partitions and extracts the files.

Then your disc is either scratched, or damaged, if it can't even load it.

Well I also tried and installed smg2.5 demo and launched it with riivolution, what just worked.
I think it's just that people can't use the wii u disk drive to copy or extract stuff from it, but yeah I don't know, not much knowlegde about it to say for sure.

Yeah, that's why I asked if someone managed to get it working on wii u, but MM said it should work so I tested it myself and that was the result

(the "disc loading" error)

Well that's weird. SMGExtractor reads the files in the exact same way a game would do it, so it should work.

Well uh, Mega-Mario, do you have also a version with a debugger?(that can log what went wrong or something?)
If not, I just go find my ol' iso on my pc and renew my files

*ninja'd by MrRean*
Well I had one, but yeah long story (if you wanna know though: https://kuribo64.net/?page=thread&id=810&from=60 )

Or almost. Dolphin will still require an ISO because it doesn't take Riivolution patches. We'll work on it though.

So does that mean you can't use SMGExractor for Dolphin? I need to use Dolphin for testing! D: Plus, people tell me I need to use SMGExtractor to extract the files I need to edit levels & galaxies on Whitehole, so as far as I know, I need a program, similar to WiiScrubber, that works for SMG 1 & 2 to use on a computer. Can anyone help me with that? (I know, it's a mouth-full)

If you have the iso for the game, you can use Dolphin to extract the files.
