For the past few weeks I've been working really hard to mod my Wii U to be what I believe to be the most user-friendly, all in one setup that it can be. There have been some bumps along the way that I mostly managed to work out and I have learned a ton through out this entire process and I plan to use that knowledge to make a thread(s) with easy to follow guides for the things I couldn't find one on. Before I do that, there are just a few more very specific things I was hoping to be able to figure out how to do that I know are possible, but I can't manage to figure it out myself or find a guide no matter how hard I try.
WiiSXR/WiiSXRX forwarders for WiiU:
I've created Wii U forwarders for a bunch of other vWii homebrew that works like a charm + game pad support (FCE U GX, Snes9x GX, VBA GX, Wii64, Wii64 Rice, USB Loader GX), but no matter what I try and do when I try to make one for WiiSXR or WiiSXRX, after the forwarder boots the consoles black screens and has to be unplugged. I understand that this is a known issue for anyone who's tried to make their own forwarder for this app and the solution everyone gives is to use the provided forwarders. While those work and are a viable option, if you're like me and want everything to be 100% uniform in a certain way then making your own would be the ideal way to go. Since there is a working forwarder, it has me dying wondering how to make one myself so that the icon, banners, boot sound, and title can match everything else with my setup. @niuus is the creator of WiiSXRX so maybe they know something about it/how to do it?
Wii U Homebrew Forwarders/Apps:
I know that there is the Haxchi method which is completely viable for any .elf homebrew, but if you try to direct Haxchi to a .rpx file, it brings you to the Homebrew Launcher instead. The main thing I'm personally trying to do is create my own forwarder for PPSSPP with an icon, banner, sound, and title that I've made. Other people have tried doing similar but I haven't found anyone that's had any luck doing their own. @cucholix made the existing forwarder for PPSSPP so maybe that's a lead.
Genesis Plus GX Wii U Gamepad Forwarder:
I have a working forwarder for Genesis Plus GX from my Wii U menu, the gamepad just doesn't work to control it at all. I'm not sure if that's normal with this release. After some research, I found this thread where gamepad support seemed to be added, so I replaced the boot.dol on the SD card with this one, but the gamepad still didn't work as a controller even after that. I also just found this which has a .dol from 5 days ago that I haven't tried using yet. The forwarders on the Wii U menu are just that, right? Is it a forwarder that points to /sd/apps/xxxx/xxxx.elf, or does it fully install the Homebrew and it will work without an SD? I've been using TeconMoon's injector mod for all of these forwarders. Would the problem in the gamepad not working be resolved in getting the right boot.dol into the apps folder, or do I need to install a new forwarder that is made with the correct, gamepad compatible, boot.dol?
Changing icons/banners/titles/startup sound of existing Wii U apps:
If all else fails and I can't manage to create my own WiiSXRX & PPSSPP forwarders, is there a way that I could change the existing title, icon, banner, and boot sound that they use? If I could manage to do that I suppose it would essentially be just as good as having my own forwarders to my liking, I just assume the process would be a lot more involved because from what I've seen, if it were even possible it would involve FTP and identifying all these wacky folders. If that's the only way then I'll probably do it if it's possible so I wanted to ask about that too.
TLDR/Summary:
-I'm hoping to get a Wii U forwarder for WiiSXRX titled "PlayStation" with this icon, banner, and boot sound with gamepad support
-I'm hoping to get a Wii U forwarder for PPSSPP titled "PSP" with this icon, banner, and boot sound
-I'm hoping to get a Wii U forwarder for Genesis Plus GX titled "SEGA" with this icon, banner, and boot sound with gamepad support
Its been driving me crazy not being able to figure out these last 3 little things, but once I do (if possible) my Wii U will be setup perfectly how I envisioned it and I would love to make a guide showing any interested parties how to do the same. Thank you for your time I look forward to what you guys have to say, this community always has the answer
