Title metadata

Revision as of 12:30, 28 October 2019

Title Metadata (TMD) is a format used on the Nintendo Wii game console to store a collection of files that make up a title (a single "piece" of software, roughly the technical realization of a Wii "channel") as well as metadata about that title, including cryptographic information (in addition to Ticket data).^[2] It seems to usually be split up into the header and data sections and embedded in another file; this occurs with WAD^[3], the Wii Disc format^[4], and Content.bin^[5].

Software

• LibWiiSharp
• Customizemii (AKA WadCustomizer) (Manipulates a TMD structure when it is embedded in WAD files. Uses libWiiSharp as a backend)
• ShowMiiWads (Likewise, but uses its own backend.)
