The NTFS-3G driver is an open source, freely available read/write NTFS driver for Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X, NetBSD, Solaris and Haiku. It provides safe and fast handling of the Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000, Windows Vista, and Windows Server 2008 file systems.

The purpose of the project is to develop, continuously quality test and support a trustable, featureful and high performance solution for hardware platforms and operating systems whose users need to reliably interoperate with NTFS. Besides this practical goal, the project also aims to explore the limits of the hybrid, kernel/user space filesystem driver approach, performance, reliability and feature richness per invested effort wise.

The driver is in STABLE status. The test methods, the test suites used can be found at

News, support answers, problem submission instructions, support and discussion forums, performance numbers and other information are available on the project web site at

For more details on the NTFS-3G project see the 'original' folder included with this package.

Make sure you have devKitPro and the latest Nintendo GameCube/Wii development component (libgc/libwii) installed. Then type:

 make
 make install      # or 'sudo make install' if you aren't root.

NTFS related routines can be accessed by adding the following line to your source file(s).

 #include <ntfs.h>

When compiling you must also link against the libntfs. To do this add -lntfs to the LIBS section of your application Makefile. For example:

 LIBS := -lwiiuse -lbte -lntfs -lfat -logc -lm

For a more practical example of using NTFS in your application, see the included example directory.
