Homebrew Wiiware, VC and Homebrew Forwarder ISO's

thmailla · Jan 25, 2010

could you explain how to use Spayrosam Auto iso's maker ?

If i put my wad in folder \wad, when i launch the maker it ask me some details in partition builder.

what is the great way ? It's not fully automatic ?

Popopinsel · Jan 25, 2010

Ok, this is what I did (and it worked):

1. Put all your wads into \wad.
2. Start 3ISOs several times, it will first recover all the necessary files/folders from the recovery-archive.
3. At some point it will process the first wad-file and then ask you to proceed using partitionbuilder (which already opened).
4. Except for the last "Browse"-button at the bottom, press them and navigate into the "make-iso" folder. The necessary files will be in there. With the last button navigate to "make-iso\sound" (opening.bnr should be in there).
5. Click on Build/Proceed/whatever-the-button-is-called, save the file (partition1.img) and exit partitionbuilder.
6. Wii-Scrubber will open up. Load the iso-file located in the folder above "make-iso" (I think it's called "Forwarder-ISO"). Then right-click on the first (and only) partition, select "unencrypted", then "load" and select the partition1.img located in "make-iso".
7. Exit Wii-Scrubber
8. The batch will proceed, a .txt-file will open up (don't know why

), just close it and you're done.

Inside the Forwarders folder you will find your files. The forwarder iso which you add to your (wbfs) drive and the XXXX.dol (XXXX meaning the game id) inside another folder which goes into sd/usb:\forwarders\platform\ (where platform is n64/nes/snes etc.).

This is it (basically)...

Thank's popopinsel,

Does triiforce or triforce_mrc still needed for use with it ?

Popopinsel · Jan 25, 2010

Don't think so. As I understood it's already part of the forwarder (is it the main.dol or the XXXX.dol?).

Anyway, I don't have triiforce on my sd/usb-drive anymore and it's working... =)

Test done but not working good !

when Wii partition Builder is open
What do i do exactly

all fields are empty
If i follow your guide and browse Source file directory to \forwarders-Iso's\game\make_iso\sound and i keep all other fields empty and click Build i have an error "incorrect data in one of the fields".

If i browse all fields to
\forwarders-Iso's\game\make_iso\partition.bin
\forwarders-Iso's\game\make_iso\apploader.img
\forwarders-Iso's\game\make_iso\boot.bin
\forwarders-Iso's\game\make_iso\BI2.bin
\forwarders-Iso's\game\make_iso\main.dol
and source file directory to \forwarders-Iso's\game\make_iso\sound

and click to build i have an error/popup : "Partition will be approx 704k - do you want to continue" yes or no ?
If i click yes it ask me if i want to save partition1.img. I save it to \forwarders-Iso's\game\make_iso\partition1.img and it tell me Partition file created.

I did the rest of the process LOAD the iso in wiiscrubber, right click and load partition1.img, exit wiiscrubber and my iso is created with its forwarder.

I will test it later i'm not at home this morning..and i tell you if it's working good.

Thanks

@thmailla

I did not told you to only browse for the source file directory (in which is opening.bnr) but also browse for the other ones (inside make-iso directory). So your second attempt was right.

By the way, that partition builder popup is no error message, it just informs you what size the partition will be of. The rest of your procedure was right and your forwarders will hopefully work.

Be sure to have a working nand dump (created with fstoolbox 0.4) and properly injected wads in it. If you can play them directly via triiforce then there's no problem with this.

Good luck

Now I'm excited and I have to wait 4 days! but oooooook

I'm really looking forward to this "surprise" (could it be a forwarder ISO creator? That's EXACTLY what I wanted 4 x-mas... how did you know!

)

thanks a lot, and seriously, no rush

Could the VC games and or Wiiware game just be made into an iso so all that has to be done is just add the iso to your hdd just like a wii iso?

XFlak · Jan 25, 2010

nope, u need to set up triiforce, make sure its working properly, then download or make a forwarder ISO to launch the game via triiforce. I don't VC and Wiiware games could be injected into an ISO and still work properly.

thmailla · Jan 25, 2010

after my tests all working fine with 3ISOS

Thanks popopinsel for your help

Thanks Popopinsel, but it's a hard drive issue. My 1TB works fine, but my
1.5TB won't use the usb-nand although it loads the program from it's fat32 partition a-okay. /:
It's an issue with Triiforce I'm assuming.

uberbdon · Jan 27, 2010

Any chance someone could whip up a Genesis Plus forwarder ISO?

Awesome spayrosam!

This is going to make things much easier now!

Can't wait for it to be released...

albanibr · Jan 29, 2010

Master spayrosam, thanks for the video-guide!

waiting for download link of 3ISO'S Studio !!!

XFlak · Jan 29, 2010

this look great! Can't wait to download it!

but just a thought... would it be possible to also add homebrew forwarder ISO creation to the app... so that we can create an mplayer_ce forwarder ISO (for example) that loads SD:/ and USB:/apps/mplayer_ce/boot.dol {with customizable path(s)}. Or perhaps a method of forwarding to an existing channel (like JODI, or whatever other title ID we want to set).

Anyways, it may be a little early for requests... but thought I'd mention it

thanks again, i can't wait for u to make it public

spayrosam · Jan 29, 2010

@xflak40
