Many, many thanks!

This is his baby...just want to help keep this organized for everyone to reap the full benefits.
Because I get the feeling there is more in developement for custom Channel FUN! ;)
A) WADder Input Suggestions
------------------------------------

Banner Specs/Requirements:

banner = 590 x 332
300 dpi horizontal,vertical
bit depth 24

icon = 128 x 96
96 dpi horizontal,vertical
bit depth 24

logo = 112 x 32
100 dpi horizontal,vertical
bit depth 24

Upload Sound to something like this link (Easy Register!)----> http://freefile.kristopherw.us
Upload Images to your Image Hoster!
Download links should be direct or like http://mediafire.com

1) Installing and using the WADder is pretty self explanatory. If you can't figure it out. You should probably not be doing this.

2) Use a Unique Code that is already available if it contains the same .dol (Dol !)

3) All the required images for banner, icon, and logo should be created around or the actual size of its requirements for best quality! ;)

4) Sound should be short/small in size and changed to mono (it should do it for you automatically) to prevent long loading of channel.

5) While the WADder app is doing its magic (creating the wad) please do not touch your keyboard and mouse or you will risk corruption.

--This should get you a nice channel with the selections you chose.

Common errors:

- wad errors showing during install with wad mananger (Your PC might not meet system requirements so its not creating the wad correctly!)
- You did not restart after a failed attempt.
- There is no common-key.bin in C:\wadder\ (PROBABLY THIS ONE!)

B) Posting it!
-------------


**** You MUST have the WAD, the banner, icon, logo images, and the sound (if there is sound) for it to be listed!
It should be uploaded as a .zip to prevent wad/file corruption. (NO EXCEPTIONS!)

(Thanks for the example WolfgangChemist, and to IceFire for the app and the post format.)

Reason I posted it in a blog is to keep it stickied in my sig for short and sweet references.

Also thanks for all the hardwork in testing this with IceFire and future contributions to the GBATemp.net WiiHackers! :D

Special Thanks to - DJTaz, IceFire, FGOD, Gundalf, DJDynamite, WolfangalChemist, Nicksasa, Wiisel, SpaceJump, and all the original banner editors for tuts!

It says bad link anyway..
 
I don't think I have a proper Dol file because it won't let me create the channel. And where can I get the unique ID??
