Hacking [RELEASE] WiiVC Injector Script (GC/Wii/Homebrew Support)

[matruka]

Having an optional 2nd line for the game title was really easy to implement, I forgot who pointed out this was possible probably over 100 pages ago but thanks!

is there a way to apply this to already installed games? by renaming them somehow?

Depending where you put the game, go to the game's folder, then meta folder and change the name in meta.xml. I'm not sure how to get two lines though, but it was posted in this thread somewhere... so search function?

@matruka You basically just add a line break by using enter. Example:

  <longname_en type="string" length="512">Paper Mario
The Thousand-Year Door</longname_en>

Stupid question but can I play GC games on the gamepad using Classic Controller emulation?

 

[Zrecer]

Has anyone tried/asked about injecting emulators like Snes9xGX into the WiiU VC? That'd be neat.

None of the GX emulators (outside GenPlus) will work because they gamepad library hasnt been implemented into their source code.

No but they might work with regular classic controllers.

Yeah those will work for sure.
I never understood though why people like to have forwarders for everything

Because they are lazy, they think it takes too long to boot to vWii and run homebrew that way. I still think booting up a PS4 game is way slower than going through the process of booting vWii.

Yeah haha.
Well booting vWii is not too much of a hassle, but I mainly question why forwarders for every app/game.
Like, you could very well have all apps listed through HBL instead of having forwarders for each one of the apps.

But oh well, to each its own I guess.

I like them because it's easier for my kids to access the games.

IF i were to inject them into the WiiU VC, would all of the content still be accessible from the SD card?

Yes.
Basically they are forwarders, not full-on apps installed as Wii VC.
Forwarders simply redirect to the .dol/.elf file in your SD card, so you can safely use the forwarders and still use them inside HBC as well.

Please do not kill me. Would it be possible to hook the gamepad as a gameboy advance for the GameCube games that require them? (Crystal Chronicles and Four Swords Adventures, Wind Waker for Tingle Tuner, etc)

Possible? Yes.
A reality? No
That would require an incredible amount of coding from Nintendont's part, I even dare to say a complete rewrite of it to make it run on Wii U natively instead of Wii.
So yeah, don't hold your breath on it, it's not possible at the moment to do so, and I doubt it'd ever be with what we have.

Thanks for the info!!!! I was asking for a friend (No, seriously, I was! I promise!!). I personally have my GC still. I didn't even realize the GBA link cable worked with so many GC games. Anyways, I'll tell him to stick to real hardware for Crystal Chronicles MP. Thanks again ShadowOne333!

Welcome, dude
And yeah, if he wants to use the GBA Cable feature for certain games, he has to do so in original hardware, either GC or Wii which supports Gamecube ports.
I think Dolphin has some sort of GBA Cable support into it, but I'm not sure, that could be another option.

If I turn on Classic Controller Emulation for Mario Kart Wii, for example, will I still be able to use Wiimotes for the other players?
