Cool
What games are still missing?

I'm keeping a copy of the BG used in case you wanna convert' em to 16:9.
Did u have time to convert some?

 

[themanuel]

Off the top of my head, I know I have these in the card, but I'm sure I might be missing some:
Hitman 2: Silent Assassin
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell
Tomb Raider: Legend
Viewtiful Joe 2

I started looking at 16:9 conversions last night, but I quickly ran into a few issues:
1. The Wii/GCN logo is already on these images, so it limits the areas through which I can cut, if I don't want to leave a partial logo hanging around or have it end up too far on the top edge of the banner. I did notice you included the logo among the images, so I could re-add it if I manage to cut it completely.
2. Some of the images simply will not work by just taking off a portion of the top and bottom, because it will take too much off the character or the background. For many of these, I should probably find new images on the web, which will deviate from your main body of banners.

At that point, between the NBA playoff's showing on the TV and the prospect of getting up early today to work out, I have to admit I was too easily discouraged. Obviously I lack your level of commitment to the project. I still want to do this, but it will be slow progress and I will probably have to replace many of the images with new ones.

Regards.

I know cropping or enlarging by adding single background color won't always do the trick, a better way will be a sort of frame.
I have many ideas for wide banners, hopefully I'll start working on those as soon as I finish the current work.

Thanks

I'm kinda confused. With these wads could you play the games or are they forwarders for games in your usb loader, if it's a forwarder, I'll definitely use these.

The wads are forwarders for the games in your sd:\games\xxxxxx folder where "xxxxxx" is your game ID6
they are universal forwarders since they can launch the game regardless of the region (Pal, NTSC U, Jap...)
They can't launch games in usb folder simply because this feature is not yet available in DML, hopefully it will be available some day.

Glad you liked them & I hope I cleared your confusion

It did. Thanks! *downloads Wind Waker wad*
EDIT: It returns me to the System Menu when I boot it. I know I have the right folder setup.

 

[AbdallahTerro]

Which DML version r u using?

try this one at a time:
1. Insert any DVD in the Wii then start the game
2. press b while loading to go to settings and try changing dml settings
3. Update DML to 1.3 : http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?vclv9984vmludf4
4. Update Wind Waker to v1.01: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?m97tfzcfx0wvmhm

Time for more requests

 

[MassiveRican]

[member='AbdallahTerro'] I have to ask how do the multi-disc forwarder channels work? How does it know whether to point to disc 1 or 2?

[member='AbdallahTerro'] I have to ask how do the multi-disc forwarder channels work? How does it know whether to point to disc 1 or 2?

both discs have same ID3 so same channel launches both.

How would that work then?

If your only using ID3 how would the booter launch the second disc instead of the first?






Waits.................

 

[AbdallahTerro]

ID3 is for GX banners (2 disc games share same banner)
for the dml_booter since v1.0 Fix94 added the option to launch all regions of same game.
@Fix94 can you explain please how the booter works with 2 disc games?

 

[MassiveRican]

Hmm and while we wait lol, I did have a couple of more requests to complete my line-up as well :

Killer 7 of course surprised no one has asked for this already (On that note another multi-disc game, hopefully for channels they won't have to be redone)
Ultimate Spider-Man
The Incredible Hulk - Ultimate Destruction
X-Men Legends II
Resident Evil: Code Veronica X (Another Multi-Disc 0_o)

I'll stop now.. but I'm getting real close to having one for all of my games WOOOOO!!! Can't thank you enough AT.

 

[themanuel]

One itty bitty request for the last game in my SD card:
Mario Golf - Toadstool Tour (GFT)

Thanks!

Edit: ignore my comment on a typo. There is none. My mistake.
