I've searched the forums and while I've found several threads discussing custom made forwarder channels, many of them are dead and rather than necro thread I'd like to ask the community if anyone knows of a good tutorial about creating my own forwarder channel wad files.
My intent is to make one with a specific icon and banner for each loader so that I can separate my Wii games with one loader and my Gamecube games with another using a Wii Icon and a Gamecube Icon, and then an animation or banner for each system within the selection. I want to forward to USB Loader GX because I will have my Wii games on a GPT NTFS partition (which CFG doesn't support) and my GameCube games on a MBR fat32 partition on the same drive.
I would need a way to unpack existing channel installer wads and repack them, some info about how the mechanism of selecting an IOS and using XML and such with a forwarder works, and a way to understand the contents and how to manipulate them (I do have some knowledge in this respect, but a complete tutorial would be nice).
Plus I think it would be really useful to be able to customize my channels. I have never seen this type of resource in one place and I'm hoping this community can help me since there are so many threads with people having posted (really really long ago - so much so the links seem to all not be working) their own custom channels.
