Hacking NForwarder IOS 58

[FIX94]

I use CFGForwarder58.dol with the latest priiloader 0.6 beta 3 to load CFG loader directly from boot and it works well.

Only problem is, I really dislike that alien splash screen. My wife and kids think it looks evil and it gives the connotation that all this wii hacked software is nefarious in intent. I'd rather a more pleasant splash screen, or none at all. Can anybody point me to such a rebuilt version of CFGForwarder58.dol?

This is the dol from my forwarder v6:

There is no splash screen and it's priiloader compatible.

I downloaded that file, renamed your boot.dol to something else and put it on the root partition of my drive. After that, everytime I select "Load install file" in priiloader, it crashes to the register dump screen. Moved your file away, put drive back, and priiloader works ok. Note that priiloader crashes just when it is looking for the list of files to present as options to select for the install file, I don't even get to the point of trying your file. I am using priiloader v0.6, beta 3 (the latest).

Actually, if you look at my post, the priiloader crash can't really be due to your dol. Priiloader was crashing just trying to list the forwarder names in the directory. I swapped your new dol in and priiloader still dies. So I realised it must be a "number of dols" issue in priiloader. Sure enough I took a couple of others away and priiloader does not crash. That priiloader does not strike me as robust software.

Anyhow, I tried your forwarder out but I think some king of boot splash screen is better than nothing. Otherwise you only see a blank av screen and it looks like the wii is failing to boot.

So, anybody else got a version of CFGForwarder58.dol but with a nice boot splash image rather than that intimating alien?

I second that request.

Would anybody be so kind as to post NForwarder58 dol's for WiiFlow and NeoGamma with a black splash screen (not the bare Linux prompt screen), rather than the alien's?

I spent an hour last week trying to comile the forwarders with an all black png but kept receiving an error about some "rules" not being set, so I got frustrated and stopped trying. It would not even complie with the original PNG. I did add the math libraries, by the way.

Best regards.

Probably you are missing the math library in the linking process.
Try adding " -lm " to the "LIBS := " line in the file named Makefile to see if that fixes the problem.

I had the same problem when I first tried compiling forwarders. Make sure you add "-lm" to the end of the "LIBS" line.

First off does anyone know if devkitpro works with programmer's notepad on linux under wine? I've followed the compiling steps and I don't seem to be getting anything for output other than:

> "make"

> Process Exit Code: 2
> Time Taken: 00:01

should the .dol/.elf be created in the "build" folder?

PS: I've already added the -lm to the end of LIBS: = in the makefile and changed my forwarder path under main.c

Thanks!

Nevermind, I just installed Windows as a virtual box works great! THANKS! Would anyone be willing to test a wad?
