Hacking [RELEASE] WiiVC Injector Script (GC/Wii/Homebrew Support)

[Goloki]

Nope.

That's a bummer to hear. My main reason for wanting GC VC was to be able to just open the game and play, without having to go through menus and using the Wiimote.

Well, I guess I better start learning to play with the gamepad, or else I'll have to go back to using a regular (non Wii VC-inject) Nintendont forwarder.

Agree with @wicksand420.
Apart from the lack of gamepad support on not64 we are now pretty much complete with RetroArch + WiiVC overclock + Wii/GC injections.

So you'd rather they don't have a standalone Wii U port of PCSX with better graphics/SPU plugins or N64 emulation with higher compatibility? I'm not trying to be ungrateful, I would think the few Wii U developers that are reading this thread will just decide not to bother at all. That's all I was saying. WiiSX and Not64 are fantastic with the full clock speed, it's just the emulators at their core, are fundamentally in need of improvement. That's all. If the screen tearing can be fixed, that would be a big improvement, it was disabled in WiiSX to help Wii performance.

Alright version 2.2.0 has been released in the OP with the following changes:

## [2.2.0] = 2017-09-30

• Added c2w patching support (REQUIRES patched titles to be installed to NAND launched with sign_c2w_patcher)
• Replaced nintendont forwarders with v1.2
• Replaced NUSPacker with FIX94's fork
• Called all JAR files using java -jar instead of assuming that Windows file associations are actually correct
• Added Internet Check before trying to use JNUSTool to prevent failures and more substantial checks for if all source files downloaded by JNUSTool actually exists
• Merged Standard logging with Error logging
• Cleaned up unnecessary WIT files

Here are the basic steps for injecting homebrew and patching it with cafe2wii

1. Place your boot.dol in the SOURCE_FILES folder alongside your icon and banner.
2. Run the script, after you're asked for your title and publisher you will be asked if you want to patch your title with c2w, choose y for yes.
3. You will be asked for the Wii U Starbuck Ancast Key if it hasn't been provided or is wrong.
4. The rest of the script will run as normal, after source files have been downloaded by JNUSTool you'll need to accept an admin prompt for c2w_patcher to patch the necessary files.

Some things to keep in mind:

• Your resulting title MUST be installed to NAND, it won't run from USB
• You need to launch sign_c2w_patcher before launching your title. It can be run from HBL, the HBL Channel, or even sneaked in alongside CBHC

As always thanks to @FIX94 for doing all the actual real work, the heavy lifting.

Also someone let me know if Spyro the Dragon ever works in WiiSXR

So I'm trying to pack this one game and all of sudden everytime I finish installing and play it, it emulates the Wii Remote with the GamePad instead of the Classic Controller, I've already packed it twice making sure I specified to emulate the Classic Controller but it still ends up using the Wii Remote config for the GamePad every time I install it.

Wiisx forwarder's dol

This points to SD://apps/wiisxr/boot.dol right? Does anyone have a Not64 forwarder? I know there was one linked here, but I can't seem to find it.

What game? I can not emphasize enough that many games don't work well with GamePad controller emulation, even if they say they support the classic controller.

@KhaderWelaye your script 'scrubs' or truncates the .wbfs file with wit so the end result is less than the 4.(whatever) gb disc size .. i dont always use the script and i was wondering what the wit command was to shrink the game to 'scrub' size that you use , since i think i fail in 'shrinkin' the game when i do it

Sonic Colors. I guess I just find it odd that it's emulating a Wii Remote scheme, but if it's really a case of it just not being incompatible then that's fine.

yes, and here's the not64 forwarder by @ploggy

First the script uses wbfs_file to convert the WBFS file to ISO (it seems to handle bad WBFS files better than WIT) and then runs a command to unpack and repack the ISO.

The repacked ISO is still 4.7GB, but it's aligned properly so when it's converted with NFS2ISO2NFS the resulting NFS files only take up the space they need.

So here's the process it would go through:

wbfs_file.exe sourcegame.wbfs convert temp.iso
wit.exe extract temp.iso --DEST TEMP --psel data -vv1
wit.exe copy TEMP --DEST game.iso -ovv --links --iso

Then shove the resulting game.iso file through NFS2ISO2NFS. An important part of this is that WIT is only looking for and using the Data partition, as last I checked NFS2ISO2NFS can only handle one partition.

thank you for this , i looked at the script with 'edit' but some % signs and stuff confuse me

Your New Script Didnt Work 4 me. Injected Wiisxr with c2w patching and i get an error code 160-2793. Also the packed install folder is smaller in size than when i manually- c2w signed- with older script

 

[kevinbrew]

If someone could test wiisxr with c2w patching and let me no if it works for them or not. thanks

@kevinbrew
WIT failed to pack your ISO completely which resulted in a corrupt ISO, and then failed to extract the Ticket and TMD from it afterwards.

The error indicated by WIT is that there's not sufficient space on your local drive.

[kevinbrew]

Thanks for help its working now.
