yes.Hello, I'm wandering if it's possible to launch a .dol from a button in source menu.Is it possible?
It would be nice to have a button to just launch WiiMC or any other hb
Thank you for your answer, Fledge.yes.
just add autoboot=x to plugin button.
for wii, GC, and channels set x to the game ID
for Homebrew apps set x to the folder name or if you use custom titles use the custom title.
for plugins set x to the roms filename or if you use custom titles use the custom title or if you are using the plugins database title use it. if unsure then browse your covers and then note the title that appears with that cover and that will be the one to use.
if you are just wanting to launch wiimc then you will need the wiimc in the apps folder (dev:/apps/wiimc/boot.dol) and make sure it shows up when you view your homebrew apps in coverflow. now add a homebrew button to your source menu ini like this:Thank you for your answer, Fledge.
For the Homebrew apps, they should be in the apps folder in the root of my SD?Or in my case, since I'm using the Shima theme, in the plugins folder inside wiiflow folder?
can you give me a example, if thats not asking too much of course.
Thank you again!
Oh yes, now I get it! Makes total sense now, the "autoboot" is related to a "entry" in the "source".if you are just wanting to launch wiimc then you will need the wiimc in the apps folder (dev:/apps/wiimc/boot.dol) and make sure it shows up when you view your homebrew apps in coverflow. now add a homebrew button to your source menu ini like this:
[BUTTON_3]
image=Homebrew.png
image_s=Homebrewb.png
title=WiiMC
source=homebrew
autoboot=wiimc
now when you click that button/cover in source menu/flow it will auto boot the wiimc app.
alternatively if you have wiimc in your homebrew coverflow you could always just hold B and press A while pointing at the wiimc cover and it will go straight to booting wiimc.
Thank you, @RunningSnakes. Everything should be ok soon.That sucks. Hopefully you get things worked out my friend.
I'm so sorry to hear this. I know this is both off-topic, and you probably already know this, but just in case you don't…Bad news, my living room tv just died.
My Wii power suply is bad for a while, it sends interference to my CRT, and just now i was hearing some noises on it and after a look I found the tube glowing while it was off, so i removed it from the power source.I Think this new place I'm living is with some eletricity problem, I'm sure actually.
Thank you for the tip!I'm so sorry to hear this. I know this is both off-topic, and you probably already know this, but just in case you don't…
If you can afford some basic power conditioning, it can help extend the life of electronics. Cheap power surge protectors make a difference, but they have a limited lifespan, and likely need to be replaced often with bad power. Any kind of more aggressive voltage regulator can be a better investment for protecting your old or sensitive electronics if you have really bad power.
Please feel free to PM me if you want to know more. And again, my sympathies, first and foremost.
YES! I believe a stabilizer and a regulator are essentially the same thing. Way better than a cheap power strip. It will try to correct the over/under voltage, and then blow the fuse if it cannot handle a surge. The first time I saw one of those, I was staying in a village in West Africa, where the power was so bad, that you could get electrocuted simply by walking too close to an outlet at the wrong moment. Crazy. Anyways, over the years I have really gotten into power conditioning. I too have an apartment with bad power, but honestly, it's all bad power. It's just a matter of how bad is it…Thank you for the tip!
For now, I will probably buy a "Stabilizer". Not sure how they are called in english, but it's very common here in brazil.I never experienced a building with bad power before.We were living in another apartment in the same building and the power there was also bad.
Btw here is the "Stabilizer" we use around here, theres a fuse on it so if anything goes really bad the fuse dies and protect what is pluged on it

And again, thank you. This situation sucks a lot
