Wii Disc format infos I've read this page on wiibrew: [www.wiibrew.org] But i still have questions about the disc format. What are exactly the "Partitions information" (i don't uderstand what is the Total 2nd partitions in the disc (optional) and the offset associated). Is each "Partition info table" composed of only "Partition table entry"(ies)? In the case of the "Total 2nd partitions" filled with a value, it means that each partition has is own partition table?

this answer my question. Thank you.]]> arasium SoftwareMon, 27 Sep 2010 09:04:23 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?27,58958,59952#msg-59952 Re: Wii Disc format infoshttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?27,58958,59952#msg-599521) get the total # of partitions from 0x40000
2) get the offset of the first partition table
3) jump to that address ( usually 0x20 bytes after 0x40000 )
4) read 4 bytes. if you get something other than (u32) 0x00000000, read 4 more bytes. keep repeating this step till you dont get any more partitions.
5) you have just read the first partition table. if the total # of partitions you got in step 1 is higher than all the partitions you found already, go back to step 2 and read the next 4 bytes ( next partition table offset )

really every official game will have 1 partition table except SSBB. multiboot discs made with wiiscrubber can have all sorts of different layouts.]]> giantpune SoftwareMon, 27 Sep 2010 02:48:50 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?27,58958,58958#msg-58958 Wii Disc format infoshttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?27,58958,58958#msg-58958www.wiibrew.org]

But i still have questions about the disc format.

What are exactly the "Partitions information" (i don't uderstand what is the Total 2nd partitions in the disc (optional) and the offset associated).

Is each "Partition info table" composed of only "Partition table entry"(ies)?
In the case of the "Total 2nd partitions" filled with a value, it means that each partition has is own partition table?
