Homebrew Official hbl2hbc v1.1 - boot from wiiu HBL into vwii HBC

[CatmanFan]

THANK YOU!

We can probably make some sort of vWii Homebrew Channel from Wii U Menu method using both this and Haxchi, right?

 

[FIX94]

well since you wanted a config I decided why not, v1.1 should now offer a simple selection if you want to have it, sample config is included.

I'm figuring that not only we can forward the .elf to boot vWii forwarder channels, but probably also WiiWare and Virtual Console titles on vWii that are located in the System Memory and not from an SD card.

Do you think this could be somehow converted into an rpx/installable format so we could have forwarders on the home menu?

We can use Haxchi for this same thing, we won't even need an installable format or RPX

Any chance you can show me proof using a video or photo?

lol

 

[Cyan]

why would you need a proof, that's the purpose of that tool, he is the developer and you have the sources!
you could try, there's nothing dangerous. it's not like he is lying.

Thank you Fix94 for that new update!

Awesome many thanks @FIX94

Also, the hbl2hbc.txt file doesn't need to be in the SD card root, it can just be placed in the same directory as the .elf file, no?

 

[Cyan]

no, the path is hardcoded and it's looking as SD:/hbl2hbc.txt

FILE *f = fopen("sd:/hbl2hbc.txt","rb");

 

[CatmanFan]

no, the path is hardcoded and it's looking as SD:/hbl2hbc.txt

FILE *f = fopen("sd:/hbl2hbc.txt","rb");

Then can we just change the path and recompile the .elf?

 

[Cyan]

it's opensource, if you want another path, edit and recompile a version for yourself. no need to make and release a mod to everyone.
or just put it on root.

releasing a version with hardcoded path not on root is tricky, as not all users are using the same path for their homebrew.

I made icon.png's and edited meta.xmls for the Homebrew Channel and Wiiflow.

It really bothered me sometimes that booting my favorite USB Loader took so long and soooo many steps. Thanks for this small, nice and very helpful tool :-)

http://wiiubru.com/appstore/#/app/hbl2hbc you must add the hbl2hbc.txt manually if your installing this from the appstore if you want additional redirection options .

 

[Jojse]

I would like to ad some redirect options to config file, but I don't know what the title-id is on the channels I installed on vwii. Any way to check that in vwii mode?

 

[FIX94]

I actually wanted to already make a quick demo video to this yesterday but ended up not doing it so I just did it now, just booting into nintendont and then starting up a game.
