those are the disc ID's though not the channel Id's

Changed the names and id's with wii iso renamer and they boot right to the game perfectly. I'll just have to put a wad manager channel on too so I can easily switch between dml and triforce.

okay, I'm new to this and these new games have me intrigued.

so I need the triforce quad wad installed as mios

I need to rename the bin files to iso and use a hex editor to change the six character ID? But what the id supposed to be I don't know.

then convert and install them with discex to sd:/games?

then install Abdallahterros wad channels to launch them?

or does somebody have a step by step tutorial somewhere?

What I did was download the roms and change the extension from bin to iso
convert/install with discex being sure to rename the first folder to GGPE01 before converting the second (both are created as relsab) and renaming that to GGPE02 afterwards
move both folders to sd: games
used wii iso renamer program to rename the iso inside each folder to GGPE01 / Mario Kart Arcade GP and GGPE02 / Mario Kart Arcade GP 2
Installed fix's dml booter
Use wad manager to extract quadforce 0.1 and two forwarder wads
Then just launch your choice of game on the system menu, it will boot the game via the dml booter.
Hope this helps.

 

[AbdallahTerro]

Thanks for the tutorial wingy,
I hope Crediar integrates those games with original dml so that no mios switching is needed.

just a small point on this
you dont have to change the extension to iso one of my roms didnt even have a extension and the other was .bin
you can just drag the roms in to discex and it will do its job
and i didnt use wii iso renamer i just hex edited the rom before dragging in to discex

 

[AbdallahTerro]

Thanks diddy I'll correct the info on first page
Here's the modified post:

Triforce arcade games Mario Kart GP and GP 2 Channels (require Quadforce v 0.1) on a Wii from a SD card.

1.Get the games roms can be in different formats such as bin or iso...
2.Convert/install with discex by dragging the rom files on discex being sure to rename the first folder to GGPE01 before converting the second (both are created as relsab) and renaming that to GGPE02 afterwards
move both folders to sd:\games
3. Use Wii iso renamer program or any tool such as hexeditor that does a similar job to rename the iso ID inside each folder to GGPE01 / Mario Kart Arcade GP and GGPE02 / Mario Kart Arcade GP 2
4. Use wad manager to install quadforce 0.1 and the two channel wads
5. Then just launch your choice of game on the system menu

Screenies:

Spoiler

Download links - The channels have a great soundtrack from the original game:

QuadForce v 0.1 crediar.no-ip.com/quadforce-v0.1

Thanks guys! I think I got it. The only thing I don't like is having to install the quad wad every time I want to play them. Like Abdallahterro said - it would be nice if this would be fixed to work with dml.

edit - it would be nice if someonf would create a simplified mios installer that simply let you choose which mios out of the 4 you want.

1. wiigator mios used for neogamma disc launching
2. dml
3. quad
4. regular mios

just put the wad for each one in a sd;/mios folder and run the app.

I have dml installed v1.4b and my Disc channel is hacked to load neogamma hidden channel, this way I can run multiISO GC discs with neogamma and run all dml games, only problem is this new quad thing has to replace dml each time GP games are loaded.

I think pepxl said there's a way to install quad wad on a emunand and run gp1 and gp2 via the emunand. If that's true then you'd be all set.

question - how do i set up this neogamma hidden hacked disc channel?

 

[AbdallahTerro]

Yes, Emunand support is mentioned by crediar in the readme and he also provided the modified nand file.
I have emunand but unfortunately no free space left to copy the 2 games

For the hack read one of the two following links
http://gbatemp.net/topic/321561-hacking-the-disc-channel/
http://gbatemp.net/topic/321110-poc-boot-neogamma-via-disc-channel/

Did u like the new icon set for wiiflow?

 

[themanuel]

Can anyone provide instructions on how to load this from emunand?
If it requires neek/sneed/uneek or whatever, I guess I won't be using it.

 

[AbdallahTerro]

requires sneek you can easily create a neek2o sneek nand using modmii then just copy 00000008.app file from quadforce.rar
Readme says: "For emu NAND users copy the 00000008.app file into /title/00000001/00000100/content" and install the quadforce0.1.wad along with the channels wad to your nand and you'll be ready to go. (surely your games in discex format should be in games folder as well)

 

[themanuel]

But with that method I would not be able to use your channels, right?

 

[AbdallahTerro]

why not!
they should work fine theoretically afaik
I will test GP1 today I managed to free some space on my SD.
Keep u posted

 

[themanuel]

Well, I'm showing my ignorance about sneek. I guess I meant that if I want to use your channels, I would have to start sneek first and then launch your channel from within sneek. As I type this, I realize that it would not make sense to somehow get it to work without launching sneek which is what I wanted. I guess having a sneek install just for this can't hurt.

 

[AbdallahTerro]

A lot of work on neekbooter has taken place so far, you can for instance launch wiiware on neek2o nand from PL3 on realnand directly, and soon as stfour said in his thread neekbooter will be used to run games that require sneek such as "tintin",
I'm not sure if this option can be implemented here too for DML and quadforce on neek, but I don't see any reason why it can't.

@Fix94 maybe you can tweak the neekbooter (if stfour agrees - and I'm sure he will) in a way to launch wiiware on neek2o from real nand SM directly via channels like dml-booter does (this way neek2o compatible games can be launched without going loading the neek2o channel) and mario gp 1&2 too This way we keep dml for real nand and will have a way to load GP without replacing the mios

Many ideas are racing in my head right now
TC

 

[themanuel]

Thanks for all your feedback and ideas. There is a lot of promise in this. I'll keep looking at this.
