How to use the NBD server
- To connect to the NBD server you will first need an NBD client and driver on your PC.
- The Ceph MSI installer bundles a signed version of the WNBD driver.
It can be downloaded from here: https://cloudbase.it/ceph-for-windows/ - Install the client and reboot.
- Open CMD as administrator and run:
wnbd-client.exe map hdd1 SERVER_IP<- Shown in OPL when NBD server started. - You can now install games with hdl_dump like:
hdl_dump inject_dvd hdd1: "GAME_TITLE" "ISO_FILE" "BLUS_123.45" *u4- This process can take up to 1-2 hours depending on game size.
- If you want to disconnect from the NBD server, open a Command Prompt as administrator and run:
wnbd-client.exe unmap hdd1
How to compile this version
