I am curious to know how this works. Real smooth, can't wait for a release or tutorial.

P.S how is the wiki doing?

Amazing job.
I would REALLY LOVE an animated Linux linking channel.

And, if it's not too much a channel for Gamma.

Yeah, a moonwalking Gecko would be nice^^
I overworked my geckoschannel. Now it looks more smooth.
If I find the time, I can make a vid.

The release will propably take more time. Still not everything is investigated...

All,

I have created a version of Mahjongg Wii v0.7 that instead of returning to the loader it resets the Wii on exit

This should be better suited to be a channel to whoever want to use it

Heres the link Mahjongg Wii homepage

BTW I like the work on the animated banners and sound

Cheers

Justin

BTW. I've started toying around with animated channels myself.
So far I've sucessfuly "modified" a channels animation.
1. Ripped opening.bnr off an original/ISO - via wiiscrubber
2. Extracted 00000001.app -> banner.bin -> the folder of TPL's
3. Converted the TPL's to bmp with alpha's in tact.
4. Modified converted TPL's (BMP's) to my liking, assuring the alpha channels where available once completed.
5. Converted back to TPL's, again verifying the alpha'a.
6. Repacked the Banner.bin
7. Repacked the 00000001.app
8. Injected into ready-made WAD.

DONE! (ok honestly it was quite a bit harder then this sounds, but thats the basics)

Now, I've got a channel for my app "/Quit" where the animation sequence is the same as from the banner I got from the game, Only the images are ones that I created.
The App Title (/Quit) FLASHES once then moves in and out slowly, there's a glow that fades in and out from the image of the Wii Drive Slot, and the background does a "fly-by" when entering the channel.

Cool stuff huh!

I'm gonna do more fine-tunning and also edit the icon/logo, and put my own sound in the channel.

The app is no big deal, but me learning how to work in my own images for the animation is a big deal to me

Then I'm sure I'll start figuring out how to build the channels from the gound up (creating the animation package)

Great work Shizza and Neo - i did tell the lads at 0RANGECHiCKEN to get you on board - your good at all that type of stuff in fairness to you both.

Hope the research goes well and we see the results in the end with a how to , or an animated wadder
