Boot2vWii Precompiled?

godreborn · Mar 24, 2023

it should work, but I'm mostly curious about the drc and tv images, if they display.

Ninte86hl · Mar 26, 2023

@godreborn can build boot2vwii for booting into vwii 480p ? would be very nice, thx in advance

Nomado · Mar 26, 2023

Can anyone build USB loader GX version with TV only? HBC channel would be nice also. Thanks. Is 480p better or 1080p better with evWii plugin Gary just released?
If evWii can force 480p from its plugin, please build without forcing certain resolution.

I don't think you can boot directly into the vwii with boot2vwii. afaik, it has to boot directly into a channel. forcing a resolution should be possible though.

Thanks. Works like a charm. So that evWii plugin doesn't change resolution. Can also ask for Homebrew Channel with same settings?

godreborn · Mar 26, 2023

you can change the resolution in the channel, yes, but I don't think you can directly change it for the vwii.

I need an icon for the homebrew channel. also, the homebrew channel can be one of two different title ids on the vwii. if one doesn't work, I'll try the other. once you send me an icon(128x128) in png format, I can make it.

hey guys, got some idea, is it possible to create a channel which forwards to the vwii while using the vwii? this could be booted from wiiu with boot2vwii.

If it not too much, can i ask you to make using that images forwarder that just disables gamepad screen without 480p for OHBC Homebrew channel?

this is a long-shot. I changed the high id in the source code to get this to work. it will have the wiiflow image, but see if it goes to the the vwii. this is for usa, so let me know if you need either jpn or eur. those are the only three I know the title id of.

the vwii didn't work. boot to homebrew channel works great

godreborn · Mar 26, 2023

it may not be possible then.

I've never tried adding a gamepad or tv image, just icon, but I added them here. let me know if it works correctly. remember, you need the wiiflow forwarder on the vwii, because this forwarder on the wiiu side is sent to that, then to the sd card from the vwii.

Thank-you again @godreborn!

I tested it out, and it seems to work, but it also seems like it didn't parse all the options correctly. I re-checked what I sent you, and I think I can see why. I misunderstood some of the syntax. My bad.

I actually sent you an options file for three jobs, and it seems like you sent me the file run from the first one, which used default resolution. The other two jobs forced 480p and 720p respectively. So there is still that to test, but the job options I gave you would likely have failed to parse those switches properly anyway either because of my syntax errors.

~~I've got it all fixed now, but before I ask you for a favour one more time, I wanted to make sure I do my due diligence so that we are not wasting your time and energy.~~ I don't want to see you swamped with everyone dumping their jobs for you to run, I was hoping we could make a set of WiiFlow forwarders that would please the overwhelming majority of all people. I had specced the following three variations:

- TV only, default res
- TV only, 480p
- TV ony, 720p

However, I am wondering if it would make sense to run through three more variations:

- Gamepad or TV, default res
- Gamepad or TV, 480p
- Gamepad or TV, 720p

I honestly don't know what the most commonly used or requested options are, but I know from experience that different displays / TVs do better with different resolutions, hence the variations.

~~Or alternately, perhaps I should buckle down and see if I can figure out configuring DevKit, so I can run these myself. I don't know why I find it so confusing.~~

EDIT: HOLY FRACK, I FINALLY GOT IT TO WORK! Can and will build it myself now.

Any and all thoughts are welcome and encouraged. I know this is a meandering message, not a direct request. Trying to sort this out. Ultimate goal is to either update this thread:

https://gbatemp.net/threads/wii-u-to-vwii-forwarder-channels-ac.618060/

Or start a new thread with some Aroma equivalents for people, and alleviate some of the questions about "does this work" as well as requests for custom jobs.

CMPTLaunchMenu() has to be used instead: https://wut.devkitpro.org/group__nn__cmpt.html#ga5b56484b59eaf8b0a2e37b4ddca68919. Thanks for the suggestion!

I have updated Boot2vWii with these changes and you now have to pass the whole TitleID to the make command ("TID=")! Just combine TIDLOW and TIDHIGH, see the README. Sorry for the inconvenience but it's the only way I could integrate the Wii Menu smoothly. Either just omit "TID" or pass "TID=0" to launch the Wii Menu.

@AdamCatalyst Be careful of the changes

Most of the time you just need to prepend 0x00010001 to the TIDLOW.

~~Wait, what!?! I don't even know what this means!~~

EDIT: Thanks for the heads up!

Does anyone want to try these out? Six different WiiFlow launcher variations to choose from. ~~They work for me, but I'd love a second opinion before I share them more publicly.~~

EDIT: Download was outdated and removed. The updated versions are available here: https://gbatemp.net/threads/wii-u-to-vwii-forwarder-channels-ac.618060/

I think what he means is that that's the normal tidlow that was hard-coded into boot2vwii. Now, you've gotta add it. It's the same one for all those apps.
