Dolphin, WBFS Manager, wiifuse, wii-iso-tools (loop mount .wbfs file)

ok, what I am essentially attempting to figure out is how to take (or create) a .wbfs file that I can mount as a loop to run backups of Wii/GC games... the compression rate is about the highest I have seen for ISOs.  I was able to backup New Super Mario Bros as a 4.4GB ISO and compress down to a 1.2GB tar.xz while I was able to get it down to 0.56GB within a 2GB SD formatted to WBFS with WBFS Manager.

Like with any other partition filesystem, I'd like to be able to back it up to a larger drive and mount it whenever possible... but I can't seem to find any concrete info on how to mount a .wbfs filesystem (as a file vs a physical partition) so that it can be accessed by the wbfs manager and/or by dolphin-emu... if anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd greatly appreciated.

Re: Dolphin, WBFS Manager, wiifuse, wii-iso-tools (loop mount .wbfs file)

Hey, I was also trying to mount a .wbfs file. I found this wiki page:

http://wiki.tockdom.de/index.php?title=Wiimms_ISO_Tools

Which in turn links to this site:

I was able to mount a .wbfs file using wfuse, and then extract an iso from it using Nautilus. Maybe this'll help you.
