    Yes. I use this one for other language, I find it quite good at explaining: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/c/c-programming-language/ The thing is coding wii homebrew require C knowledge + knowing wii specific library. That's why I suggested learning with SDL (multiplatform) or grrlib (or any...

    Book. I can't recommend any specific since the ones I read are in french. But pretty sure, there are a lot of good books to understand the basics. C or C++ aren't the easiest languages to start by the way. It also depends how you learn generally. I've started by reading other's code and...

    Hacking The Great Quest for Wiiflow Plugins™ - A call for adventurers!

    Glad you like this Hatari port. That was my only computer for a long time too. Lot of good memories with lucas adventure games, some silmarils games etc. If you mean wiimote pointer as atari st mouse, it's not ideal you're right. But if I'm not mistaken it relies on SDL lib and most ports aren't...

    Feedback Homebrew app Project Which guide to learn C for Wii homebrew?

    Depends what you want to do. Better start with a very simple 2d project. You need at least minimal C knowledge (variables/functions...). Wii homebrew isn't the easiest platform to start programming, lot of specificities/limitations. Maybe use SDL which is cross platform. Or GRRLIB which is Wii...

    Hacking WiiFlow Lite with emulator's database

    No. It's not displayed for plugins in WiiFlow(only in my demo mod). And the ratings in the plugins databases were just screenscraper user's rating. For controllers, not implemented either, well it wasn't some years ago.Here's a quote, 1st page: Just like for Wii/GC games it shows the number of...

    Hacking WiiFlow Lite with emulator's database

    That's a cool project. I also think writing game intructions especially for these systems is useful. To be honest, I also thought of adding that instead of synopsis. Having both would have been ideal. Some kind of 'More info' button that gives access to small manuals... There are databases like...

    Hacking WiiFlow Lite with emulator's database

    Thanks for sharing your MSX data. Regarding the chd format, I'm pretty sure the header is not the same as original iso/bin. When converting chd to iso we'd have to open the file with an hex editor to check the header. I understand your frustrations with those databases.^_^ But writing wiiflow...

    Hacking WiiFlow Lite with emulator's database

    PSX iso detection was taken directly from Retroarch code. Like all CD based systems here, it only check file header. No crc, no sha1 etc. I doubt CHD is working for this by the way. Not sure what's extracted exactly, the code is there I have no iso or my old scripts to check right now... Pretty...

    Homebrew Large NeoGeo games support and CPS3 tests

    From what I remember, unibios 4.0 wasn't supported at the time. You may look for other more recent neogeo retroarch core if you really need unibios 4.0 support.

    Emulation Homebrew Emulator [UNOFFICIAL] Some Libretro cores compiled with RetroArch Wii v1.7.9 (and other versions)

    HELP! My Flash Drive won't let me transfer my large files

    SD card is an option. But an old 2.5 usb2 hdd may be good too. Probably cheaper, about 10$ maybe?

    Hacking WiiFlow Lite

    Maybe you already know about this stuff, but you can customize the genres a bit: https://github.com/Wiimpathy/CreateCat An example with a 4 players genre : https://gbatemp.net/threads/createcat-pc-app-to-write-wiiflow-categories.554596/post-9252184 More complicated but you can also generate...
