  --inject-path arg     wfs file path to replace

Example

Dump mlc from backup

wfs-extract --input mlc.full.img --output dump_dir --type mlc --otp otp.bin

Dump USB device under Windows

(Needed to be run with administrator previliges, so run from privileged command line)

wfs-extract --input \\.\PhysicalDrive3 --output dump_dir --otp otp.bin --seeprom seeprom.bin

You need to replace PhsyicalDrive3 with the correct device, you can figure it out with this PowerShell command

Get-WmiObject Win32_DiskDrive

Inject rom.zip

wfs-file-injector --image usb.img --inject-file rom.zip --inject-path /usr/title/00050000/101c3500/content/0010/rom.zip --otp otp.bin --seeprom seeprom.bin

Mount USB device in Linux

sudo wfs-fuse /dev/sdb /mnt --otp otp.bin --seeprom seeprom.bin -o default_permissions,allow_other

(Note: In MacOS you must provide "-o default_permissions,allow_other" argument for wfs-fuse)

Build

Requirements:

Visual Studio 2022 17.4+ / GCC 14+ / LLVM 17+
