who needs this anymore, you can download any banner using Wiiflow or USBL-GX online banner download feature.
to download banners via PC use these links:
http://copy.com/vRN3HgFVyk9u7YuB/Public/id3.bnr
or
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/101209384/ID3.bnr

where ID3 is the game ID3 (first three characters in the game ID)

even with the banner downloader launched from hbc, it looks like it is downloading but it does'nt...
I also replaced the line in my wiiflow.ini

( add this line to your apps\wiiflow\wiiflow.ini under [GENERAL]
custom_banner_url=http://copy.com/vRN3HgFVyk9u7YuB/Public/{gameid}.bnr )

Resolved !

Will the channels ever work with Nintendont??

 

[AbdallahTerro]

it would only require a tiny source change to make loader dols for the channels
thing is the settings will change a lot and there's no way to make this work for everybody
the best shot would be to make a tutorial, I might actually make one when I have some spare time

Are you talking about a WIIGSC or CRAP type program for GameCube games? The would possibly be one of the best things ever(except usbloadergx and nintendon't).

yes making channels that autoboot games with nintendont from SM of Wii or vWii

            }

            i++;
        }
    }

This is a starting point that I need to test later
All options and paths can be set here,
the dol will autoboot the selected game with all the options needed
We can insert the dol into the custom channel wad
for vWii we can update the channel wad by adding vWii apploader

It's possible to have this banner+channel layout with ULGX?
If so someone has the .bnr file?

​

V2 With Icon 2 (ZGP5)

 

[AbdallahTerro]

GX uses either the bnr file if found
or makes its own banner using the info from the iso itself (title, banner preview, year...)
if you want to mix you have to mod the source

I see, what does contain the bnr file?
Does GCN support bnr files if found?

 

[AbdallahTerro]

bnr file has icon+animation Banner+animation sound track/loop and the title/game name
it's the 00000000.app in the wad file

 

[OriginalHamster]

How do you convert the 0000000.app to .bnr?

All right.
The mod worked fine.
I ll make a source patch for rev 229 and latest rev too and a tiny tutorial too

I made a new Thread for Nintendont in vWii Hacking section, the OP is already v. crowded

Kewl, the .bnr is showing everything as a real channel on GX
Good job!
