💾 Drive formatting

❗ Troubleshooting

  • i/o error → TWBM can be run as administrator to avoid permission issues
  • GameCube games converted with TWBM < v4.3.2 don't boot → run the path normalization tool once

❣️ Useful resources

🧑‍💻 Advanced

  • You can rename the TWBM executable to anything containing the "portable" string, like "TinyWiiBackupManager-portable.exe", and the app data will be saved in a folder next to the executable. This behavior will also be on when TWBM is placed in a drive root (on Windows), if you don't want this, add the "no-portable" string to the exe filename.
  • The environment variable TWBM_DISABLE_UPDATES=1 can be set to disable update checking (useful for packaging)
