WIT: Wiimms ISO & WBFS Tools v2.04a r3554 - News

wit v2.04a r3554
New option: wit --force: Ignore partition size errors and allow access to damaged partitions. "wwt --force" works similar.
New options: --disc-id=id, --boot-id=id, --ticket-id=id, --tmd-id=id and --wbfs-id=id: Patch only the specific ID. These options are handled after the --id and --modify options. Patching the WBFS ID while adding a game is now also possible.
New implementation of command "wit ID6": It generates an ID6 list of all sources. This is similar as before, only the meaning of the parameters changed. If option --long is set, a table with 5 IDs (DISC, BOOT, TICKET, TMD and WBFS) is printed. BOOT, TICKET and TMD IDs are taken from the main partition. If --long is set twice, all IDs of all partitions are printed.
wwt LLLL: List contains date and time (in seconds) columns.

wit v2.03a r3309
wit+wwt SKELETON: Support of GameCube images.
New command: wwt DUP: Duplicate an existing WBFS to a new file including block assigning errors. The idea is to have a command, that can duplicate a defect WBFS for tests.
Command "wwt DUMP" accept now --show for a fine control of printed data. The dump may now contain also a usage table and a integrity check report.
For a long time the code contains a WBFS extension. Now I have ompleted, enabled and tested it. With this extension the WBFS "free blocks table" is managed in a total different way:
WBFS access: While opening a WBFS the free blocks table is ignored. Instead of using the stored one an internal memory map of used blocks is built. This needs only a part of a second. Some advantages:
Errors in the free blocks table are irrelevant.
Blocks overlaps and invalid block assignings are automatically detected, reported, and fixed for internal usage.
If removing a discs with overlaps, the blocks are still marked used.
Blocks, that are not handled by the free blocks tables (the table is sometiems to small -> a result of a calculation bug in the original libwbfs) can be used. If closing, a new and fixed free blocks table will be written. This makes the whole process compatible to other WBFS managers and USB loaders.
wwt ADD: Before adding a disc its size is compared against the free size of the WBFS. This allows an early "disc full" error message.
wwt ADD: If adding a disc to a partition a continuous memory block is searched to minimize the (non existent) fragmentation. This disabled for WBFS files by default because a file itself can be fragmented.
wwt ADD+PHANTOM --wbfs-alloc=mode: Set the WBFS block allocation mode.
The commands "wwt CHECK", "wwt REPAIR" and "wwt EDIT" have been modified to work with the new interface.
