Hacking (v)Wii homebrew channel open sourced

[OriginalHamster]

I'll still have to go back to 1.1.2 because of the little inconvenience previously stated (some apps hang when going back to HBC, e.g. Nintendont), but it definitely works fine for me.

You can boot Nintendont from USB Loader GX from it's own forwarder, it works perferct with HBC 1.1.3

I don't have too much use for HBC nowadays since Retroarch was ported to Wii U, only a small bunch of apps like WiiXplorer, SaveGame GX, BlueMSX, WiiMOD, USB Loader GX. Me thinks that apps with own forwarder don't hang with 1.1.3, that would be a nice workaround.

Or if you're extremely smart, just do it on redNAND and you have no chance in bricking anything

The widescreen fix is in the code and it doesn't care what the title ID is.

Really? The Wii U thought, that the Homebrew Channel was a VC game and then it gets this black bars. This happens with every Title ID which begins with C, E, F, J, L, M, N, P or Q. The old ID was "LULZ" so....
I'm just curious, was there any other issues besides the ID?

The system menu puts on the black bars and then HBC takes them away again. The title ID no longer matters because HBC will force the screen mode to whatever is correct (4:3 or 16:9 depending on system config).

Cool to know. Well, i'll wait for a Priiloader update in the future for this new HBC. If it doesn't happen, i can still use the previous one.

So, in this case I would like to join this request:

Hi Marcan,
Could you please compile the above mentioned so that the new HC 1.1.3 replaces the old one (vWii)?

Thank you

I think it would also gain instant Wii U Pro Controller support when recompiled with the latest devkitpro/libogc versions, but that's a maybe.

Has anyone been able to compile the latest homebrew channel and install it? It seems like a waste since nobody's taking advantage of the 16:9 fix. I guess using the forwarder is fine

There's a compiled version attached in the previous page. Works fine!

Thanks niuss, I finally got what I wanted for a long while. Custom theme on vWii, and the latest Homebrew Channel with no need for a forwarder.
Why doesn't someone update hackmii installer to install Homebrew Channel 1.1.3?

 

[efen3001]

Awesome! Now someone can finally make a version of the HBC with Wii U Pro Controller support.

Indeed, HBC with Wii U Pro Controller support would be great!

We''ll see if an updated build pops up.

 

[efen3001]

Hm, only the ELF seems to work in Dolphin.
EDIT: https://mega.nz/#!rxJGFKjL!jDSmhYxey46IUYv9Mqy9BUpPkzAJtJPtXIcW45VUTYo I really hate the XenForo editor.

The HBC works in Dolphin, but the apps don't. Always getting black screen, when I try to launch any app.

 

[marcan_troll]

You need a newer version of Dolphin. The fixes for HBC support were only recently merged.

 

[efen3001]

It's working now, thanks marcan_troll!
