I got really excited to learn this new WiiMC was like WiiFlow USB Lopader GX and CfgLoader providing GUI selection of Wii Games Titles to load.
I was after something similar for MP3 and Video files - looks like WiiMC fits what I am after, so eager to try it out and see if it meets my expectations.
Trouble is I have experienced problems getting this WiiMC to install!
Here is what I tried and experienced:-
1) Followed
http://wiibrew.org/wiki/WiiMC for installation instructions
2) Downloaded the following WiiMC installer packages:-
IOS 202 Installer
WiiMC Channel Installer 1.1
WiiMC 1.0.4 (New Install)
3) Installed
IOS57 v5661 using
'YAWMM'
4) Installed '
wiimc' Folder from the unpacked
WiiMC 1.0.4 (New Install) folder, into
'apps' Folder of
SD card
5) Installed '
wiimc-channel-installer' Folder from the unpacked
'WiiMC Channel Installer 1.1' folder, into
'apps' Folder of
SD card
Put the
SD card in my Wii and Booted to the Homebrew Channel, and noticed the
WiiMC Channel Installer, the
WiiMC Installer and the
WiiMC IOS202 Installer are there in the Homebrew Channel.
a) Try launching
WiiMC IOS202 Installer
Launches/loads but then nothing happens, just then Screen goes black - have to power down and reboot!
b) Try launching
WiiMC Installer
Launches/loads but then nothing happens, just then Screen goes black - have to power down and reboot!
c) Try launching
WiiMC Channel Installer
Launches/loads and menu comes on screen advising it was successful.
This does produce the
WiiMC Channel and this does launch when selected and started (but WiiMC not installed, so cant run)
Spent some time reading through the Threads, and it seems others have had problems, but not discovered any replies, really identifying a specific problem/solution?
The following is what I did pick up on and try to see if I could get the
WiiMC IOS202 Installer to run, and the
WiiMC Installer to also:-
i) Tried deleting
IOS202 that was already on my Wii - no change as
WiiMC IOS202 Installer still gives Black Screen freeze!
ii) Tried removing USB HDD and USB Keyboard from Wii Console - no change still Black screen on launching Installers!
Any suggestions and actions to try, as to why the
WiiMC Channel loads and installs, but
WiiMC IOS202 Installer fsils and
WiiMC 1.0.4 (New Install) also give that Black screen 'lock-up'?
I might try a
WiiMC 1.0.1 (New Install) and then if that works,
can try the
WiiMC 1.0.4 (Update)
Not had any real problems at all with
all the other Wii applications I have installed, so was a bit of a shock to find
WiiMC install failed!
Would be great if such
WiiMC install and
IOS202 requirement was incorporated into
NUS Auto Downloader, along with the Channel
Any help/suggestions welcome as I am keen to see if this can turn my
Wii Console into
'GUI JUKEBOX' for
Music, and
Video Movies, with display of Images/Box Cover Art, rather than just the usual Album/Artist/Track/Title name selection.
I have all this on my PC, but would be cool to run off my Wii Console with 500GB (or higher) USB HDD (NTSC partition?), as well as the
Wii GAMES library on the same USB HDD (WBFS partition)
