[WiiCrazy]

Latest release is 3.3b,

download : CrapV3.3b
for old versions and my other programs see my signature...

So in what ways does this app differ from similar applications?
1. First of all it's the first configurable channel creator...

2. Unlike similar programs Crap has all it's features natively implemented. It doesn't invokes command line programs.. So it's not a mere gui.
AlexDp's wbfs manager should be put aside since that program also does it's magic natively without support from command line programs.

3. Because of above difference, Crap is way a lot faster than it's counterparts.

4. It has a banner sanity check for banner bricks which other programs doesn't have. Though it's still recommended to have means of banner unbricking before use.

5. You can install created channels directly using network.

Here is the changelog :

* Made the WBFS drive sticky
* Removed libeay.dll / OpenSSL dependency completely. Wad
packing & unpacking library changed to Leathl's managed Wii.cs wii
library due to memory protection issues in the original unmanaged
c library. Nifty for those who do batch channel creation. My thanks
goes to Leathl for this.

caution though modified taiko nand loader doesn't work correctly on

this one is not a forwarder and it's the actual boot.dol distributed with

ConfUsbLoader.dol under the Loaders folder with the updated dol from
Conf. Usb Loader distribution. It doesn't support partition selection yet
but hopefully will be in future releases.

loaders doesn't enable video if verbose log option is off. So no
more green flash.

* Common key is no longer bundled with the program.
Program now uses my new KeyStego library which is able to extract
secret data out of plain harmless text. (see WiiHackingHistory.txt)
The app that is used to create the plain text is in the archive
(see KeyStego.exe) but it's not necessary to use. Just in case you find
another use for it;)

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Crap v2.2b =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
16/11/2009 WiiCrazy (I.R.on)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
* Support for Configurable loader added, uses Narolez' forwarder. For the
long loading times, please bug Configurable Loader team. Can't do anything
about it.

11/11/2009 WiiCrazy (I.R.on)

Since now 'S' character is so common.

* Added game blocking feature through an online/offline blocked game list
for those games that causes banner bricks.

work than fallback to the one that comes with 2.0b or Wiichoxp's one.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Crap v2.0b =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

11/10/2009 WiiCrazy (I.R.on)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
* Added a triiforce loader, you can create forwarding channels
for vc/wiiware games. Compared to 30-50MB  space required on nand
for these channels, channels created with crap will only take

341K - Triiforce loader
128K - Nand loader
X00K - Game banner (X -> 1..5)
Totalling ~0.6-1 MB which means 30-50 times saving with the
comfort of launching the channels from your menu.

* Possibly introduced some bugs along with this feature addition
hence it's tagged as beta. Stick with 1.70 if you don't care about
vc/wiiware channel loading.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Crap v1.70 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

09/10/2009 WiiCrazy (I.R.on)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
* Now it's multilingual! Though I have to admit I only added
Turkish, if you want to help me with the other languages please
do so. Just copy English.xml to the language of your choice and
edit the texts between Item tags... Language file should be named
as it's seen on the Language menu... (for ex: Italian.xml for
Italian)


* Refixed partition selection for ISO's and WBFS.

* Ip address of the wii configurable

* Some gui reshaping, now it takes much less space. Also added a
menu.

* Contains free to distribute base wxd's... They don't contain any
banner.

library by Omega Frost. Wbfs feature will be in the next release.

* Alt-dol support added. You can selectively make the loader load
the alt-dol from NAND/SD/DISC... I only tested this feature with
Metroid Prime and it seems working...

Ok, uploaded the libeay32.dll bundled version (link is the same, you may need to redownload), it should work on both 32bit and 64 bit systems with no problem...

[Linuks]

Thanks, I'm using it

[BlindDude]

That is really cool.. Looks nice and easy... I dont see anything resemling sound.. Does this or are future releases going to include being able to put our own sounds in also?

Thanks Thanks

[Linuks]

I get a problem when I updated from v1.1 to v1.51 :

"Doesn't seem to be a folder with a disc id and a banner with disc id name in it?"

I don't understand because the folder is named RXXXXX and the file RXXXXX.bnr.
It worked with 1.1.

[WiiCrazy]

Well this is specifically for creating game channels. I don't think I'll be doing something similar to wadder. In short, no you won't be able to create channels with custom sound

@Linuks : could you tell me the exact path of the banner, tested here and it works.

ps: hell I found the bug... it seems there are more than one dot in your path... argghhh... instead of reverse search I used forward search in filename...

ps2: crashed the bug,
here is the hotfix : http://www.tepetaklak.com/data/Crap1.51Fix.rar
also updated the original release archive with the fix.

I can't get Ocarina To work this. I click your version and then click Ocarina, but when I load It from Wii it can't find the codes. Any help? Please?

[Ribonizer]

Mmmm, I tried making one for Super Smash (Used RSBE01 for the id, no idea if that was right, USB loader said RSBE and crap didn't like that so I added 01)
Anyway, when I start it I just get a black screen

[WiiCrazy]

Do you have the codes in the \codes folder? files should be named disc id.gct... for ex , wii sports : RSPE01.gct .

Which loader do you use?
Yal needs IOS 222 and USB Loader 1.5 needs Cios 10, after packing a single channel for a game, you can test the configuration using the test button.... this way

1. open the homebrew channel on your wii, press home on wiimote, take not of the ip address at the upper left
2. pack the channel using Create button and click the Test button. Change the ip address to the one you noted.
3. click send...

This way you can test the loader configuration without installing the actual channel on the wii...

[obelix05]

THX, nice work!

Well, what's the point this having a gui loader?
You already have a variety of options to choose,
YAL loader, supporting region override
1.1 loader with language selection, video mode forcing, region override
1.5 loader supporting sd/sdhc cards as well as ocarina

My codes work for everything except this... Have you made a successful Ocarina channel?
This sounds really awesome and I want it to work...
