hey folks,

I wanted to thank everyone for their hard work in this community. I was able to make some SRLs (Single Rom Loaders) based on the pre-existing work of Zorg (re-using his smash remix stuff without much change at all). Credits to the CustomizeMii, ModMii, wiimod lite and SRL (saulfabre) link developers/coders/etc.

These SRLs are for Mario Party 3 StarStruck, Smash Remix and MarioKart 64 Hooting Time (latest versions as of 3/20/2023)

You will need to source the rom and place them in their respective rom folder, renaming to one of the following, depending on what you use

StarStruck.z64
SmashRemix.z64
HootingTime.z64

These SRLS are design to have the forwarder wad installed on nand (available for Wii and vWii), while the games and loader themselves will live on /apps folder in USB drive (not SD card). You'll copy the contents of the 'copy to usb' folder to the root level of your usb drive. many thanks to xflak for helping me finally get the forwarder thing down:

the summary is that you create a forwarder dol with modmii, then use customizemii to insert graphics, audio, new forwarder dol and new title ID (advanced forwarding not needed for those 4 items i listed). customize mii will also put the audio/graphics in the proper format for the wad.

note, smash and hooting time are using the latest wiivc wii64 rice dol, along with limitvis=0 (starstruck using latest not64 with fb textures=1)
they will all take approx 60-90 seconds to load due to using nandpage, but the games themselves run great.

edit: fixed mario party 3 starstruck forwarder wad art

  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
