Homebrew HBWare / Homebrew Channel Discussion

[Stormwave]

Just out of curiosity, everyone who is getting the black screens, I just want to check everyone is installing it properly. The black screens are (most likely) due to the program not finding the skin folder. Make sure the skin folder is located in "/HBWare/Skins/Default" on the root of your memory card.

worked fine for me on scds2, almost worked on emulator also. I would suggest that the speed is a little fast, maybe adjust the decay a little. But other than that, great.

i have a black screen on scds2, with alpha 0.02

 

[alidsl]

Downloading alpha 0.02 now...

looks pretty good

 

[spinal_cord]

anyone having black screens, make sure that you extract everything AS IT IS to the root of your card so that the hbware folder is in the root.

 

[Stormwave]

Strange how some people are having problems on DS2 and some not. It works fine on my DS2 (using EOS 1.03, which may be the issue). If not, then double check you have it on the memory card correctly, as spinal_cord just pointed out.

Actually, it may be the DSL/DSi problem again (some homebrew worked on DSL but not on DSi)

I had a quick attempt at a logo myself (don't want to step on anyone's toes though)...

Nope, works fine on my DSi and DSLite.

 

[alidsl]

yeah, it works on my DSl, they just have to be in the same folder as eachother

Another version:

Download 0.03 Alpha

Added text, slowed the scrolling down, added CannonFoddr's second logo, and added an error output to try and fix these black screen problems (might aswell squash these bugs now).

Ensure that the HBWare folder (contains Skins) is on the root of your memory card.

 

[alidsl]

Testing now...

 

[Stormwave]

Forgot to say thanks to everyone who made the logos

I decided on CannonFoddr's second logo (looks the most like the sort of thing I was after).

 

[alidsl]

I think the scrolling may be a little too slow

also is there any way to make the colon (for the clock) be more bold/stand out more?

 

[Gh0sti]

i think the prob for me was that i put the 1st 2 versions in a folder hbware, then i had a folder for .01 and for .02, but now .03 works for me

*like the clock and date, although i think there is a slight bug with the clock it was changing the minute and the 0 and 1 kind of merged, i would check into that
*scrolling was fixed, the .01 was funky didn't respond to scrolling
*it is really looking good for a gui and setup now all you need to do is get the database up and running for us to download

looking forward to doing more testing i also have an acekard 2i with akaio 1.7 for testing as well

 

[Stormwave]

Glad to see it's working okay now.

I'm aware of the time problem (noticed it a few minutes ago). That'll be fixed in the next version.

I won't update this now until I've got considerably more done on the server side. I'm still hoping the GBATemp admins will get back to me about repackaging files on fileTrip before I really start the server side stuff.

I think that card compatibility is good right now, I just tested using my N5 and it works

so confirmed working carts are:
N5/R4 clones
SuperCard DStwo

may not work:
Ak2i
M3i zero

 

[DeltaBurnt]

For anyone who knows for sure they installed it correctly but are still getting the black screen, try running the program through DSKiosk (this app is known to boost compatibility on flashcarts like the M3).

EDIT: Once I redownload some updated firmwares for my flashcarts I'll test the following with .3:

M3
Acekard2i
iEDGE

I've already confirmed that the DSTwo works

 

[alidsl]

Actually try homebrew menu, it's ugly but is the best homebrew loader around

 

[spinal_cord]

Looking good.

 

[DeltaBurnt]

Well it worked on all 4 flashcarts so far:

SupercardDSTwo, Acekard2i, M3i Zero, iEDGE.

On the M3i Zero I could only try Touchpod and not Sakura because apparently there's some cluster on my microsd, but it did work on touchpod.

Also it seems like whenever I do one flick and you begin to slow down, that it takes 2-3 seconds before I'm able to flick it again.
