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

[FIX94]

This already exists so making a forwarder for the HBC would be more work than it's worth

I find gamepad support to be worth it, honestly.

I keep getting the error that the meta does not have the minimum files met. I'm trying to install Mario Party 7. Here are the logs

Your bootSound.wav is no good

TOOLS\sox\sox.exe FAIL formats: can't open input file `.\SOURCE_FILES\bootSound.wav': WAVE: RIFF header not found

@Cyan @BullyWiiPlaza I though you guys would help me on this one.

I'm trying to patch the main.dol for Kirby Return to Dream Land with Classic Controller .gct, the problem is this game in specific has some sort of anti-piracy anti-patch thing that give black screen when applying the patch, now I would need gameconfig.txt in order to disable that protection, the problem is that I want to inject the game into a Wii VC, so I'm not sure if it's possible "include" this gameconfig.txt into the main.dol (the same way you can add a .gct into the main.dol).

This is already the case, if you don't try to force GamePad support it just gives you the normal wii remote prompts.

I meant the gamepad, i forgot to mention it in my last post. is it possible to run wiimote and nunchuck games on the gamepad ? like how it currently works with only the classic controller games.

Thanks!

That's the entire point for 99% of the people here!! Silly dev!!! Well, I guess that means if nobody else, FIX94 will make one for us, his grateful end-users

Now my problem has continued to the Wii U. I installed the game perfectly fine but once I booted up the game I got problems. All the images were OK but as soon as the pictures went away and the game loaded it said "boot.dol not found" After that every time I started the game it gave me an error.

 

[WiisleyU]

Yep! All the games will run the same way that it runs on vWii with a few exceptions, I've converted so many games and had only 1 real issue: Pokémon Battle Revolution does not work at all, the battle never starts, other games are fully functional or sometimes doesn't play on the GamePad even with Classic Controller support. The new script version seems to make the GamePad work in these games too.

Great! One more question: Are we sharing icons and bootsounds somewhere?[/QUOTE]
I'm making myself so many WiiVC icons, bootscreens and even bootsounds.
When I complete it I can post it here, follow me if you are interested.

 

[Columbo2811]

This means we can also inject a working hbc channel forwarder to the Wii U side too right?

the gameconfig is patching the memory directly, but I suppose most addresses are part of the loaded dol file if the purpose is to change/fix the existing game's functions, it's not editing player's data (lives, health point, etc.)

you need to know the dol's start address to convert the gameconfig values into dol's hex address (no need to go to intermediate cheatcode format)
if you know how to add a gct in the dol, the process is the same. the addresses are just written in clear instead of using code type, so it's even easier.
kirby's gameconfig is only using poke (direct write to address)

I don't remember if "Generic wii patcher" can patch the dol for you using the gameconfig.txt, or if it could patch only using wip files. you can give it a try.
edit: too bad, it's only WIP.
wip uses "offset_from_start_of_dol old_value new_value", you miss the old_value data to convert txt to wip. either you patch manually, or you write a dol patcher with translated address value as user input.
Maybe Wiimm could make a patcher included into Wit ? or you can try to convert the gameconfig.txt to dolpatch format (but it's not a cheat patcher) https://wit.wiimm.de/wit/cmd-dolpatch.html

I remembered GamePad support obviously, I just forgot that a homebrew channel that supported the GamePad existed haha.

No you literally download nintendont from github and put it on your SD card. This isn't advanced stuff but it does require basic knowledge of Wii and Wii U homebrew.

Ok I got Nintendont on my SD card but where do I put it? In the root of the SD card or in wiiu>apps?

Not in "wiiu\apps" but in "apps\nintendont" and the name of the dol file should be "boot.dol". It's a Wii homebrew, not a Wii U one.

 

[anti_matter]

Not in "wiiu\apps" but in "apps\nintendont" and the name of the dol file should be "boot.dol". It's a Wii homebrew, not a Wii U one.

So it should look like this?

 

[TeconMoon]

Not in "wiiu\apps" but in "apps\nintendont" and the name of the dol file should be "boot.dol". It's a Wii homebrew, not a Wii U one.

If you read the github page it says the instructions:

Quick Installation:

1. Get the loader.dol, rename it to boot.dol and put it in /apps/Nintendont/ along with the files meta.xml and icon.png.

I'm following Mizumi's guide on this so I don't have the "vWii" stuff everyone's talking about. Is this a problem??

vWii is just the name of the Virtual Wii built-in to the Wii U, you don't need to do anything with it.
