Homebrew Create Forwarder for Wii U Homebrew Apps

[nuwave59]

Hi! Is there a way to create a forwarder to launch a homebrew app (spiik in my case) directly from the WiiU menu?

 

[godreborn]

you can use haxchi and assign each homebrew to a button press. I know of no homebrew that can make a forwarder directly.

A channel/forwarder has been made for Retroarch, wupinstaller, even usb loader gx. I suppose its possible to make one for Spiik.

those are not forwarders they are channels versions a forwarder would require the apps to still be on your sd card and the home menu

RetroArch Forwarder loads a random core on boot, likely crashes without SD in.
USB Loader GX forwarder launches the forwarder on vWii nand then boots the file on SD.

A folder with a .elf file, located in the wiiu folder on the SD card is required to boot USB Loader GX, so I suppose that all the USB Loader GX channel itself is doing is booting this .elf file.

for example take usb loader gx you dont need it anywhere on the sd just installed channel

That's a vWii channel install then. This thread is about Wii U forwarders to vWii channels/homebrew.

I did it ghetto style!! I installed the channel forwarder for HBL2HBC, renamed the folder and the .elf file for what HBL2HBC is looking for, then I changed the icons and banners with ftpiiu, I changed the title name (HBL 2 HBC) in the meta.xml file for Spiik.

Could someone with a good heart make a fowarder for bloopair?

 

[ploggy]

Here you go, uses hbc2hbl.rpx to forward to a folder on the SD Card
Edited the path to SD:/WiiU/Apps/Bloopair/Bloopair.rpx

 

[Manuel06p]
