Hehe, doesn't the backup loader already have a banner and icon?

I rather enjoy the Angel Wii and the 'HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA' chorus when you start it up. XD

@meohsix - Nice work. Do you know if it will work on a PAL 3.3?

EDIT: tested and working on PAL 3.3

And does this new channel have a sound or animation?

Just checking. I like my custom channels to be 'shiny' if you know what i mean

compacho · Oct 11, 2008

Meohsix, you're welcome for the image. One Q though. Should we be using Nintendo's Logos on our channels? I mean, I thought the purpose was to make it 100% homebrew.

When you consider the purpose of this channel, trademark infringement seems insignificant doesn't it?

K well since This is open source. it would be a good time for anyone to dive into the sourcecode to try and improve this. Of course compatability should be the main focus for those up to the task, but improving the menu would also be good. I have Tried a few things myself, cleaning up the GUI, and hardcoding my settings. but what would really be nice is a;

saved settings system, that remembers settings for each game.
Loading Game Title in menu (is it possible to load the icon for a game)
Ability To turn individual cheats on/off
Clean up the GUI, not so dos like.

My Coding skills are a bit weak, in time i know i will do all of this if noone else does. but it should be pretty easy for anyone else with some basic knowledge.

Aslo, I was thinking of making a new themed GUI, all greenlike, and a new banner, and Rename it to GatorOS, i think it fits, its like a gecko on crack

oh also WiiGator, you still alive?

Sorox · Oct 12, 2008

Yo. I tried to change the banner for the backup loader shown above (i also changed teh startup music), but whenever i install it, it doesnt show up and on my installed channel data it just shows 3 question marks. I posted the wad in the topic i made. Its called "bannder editing problem". Anyone know whats wrong? I didnt do it wronf seeing on how my wii isnt perm-brisked.

seangibbz · Oct 12, 2008

Can the loader play GC games? Could they if they're decrypted and made into a different iso like the Wii ones? Except they would need different encryption software.

Sorox · Oct 12, 2008

Well, because Im still waiting for my sound.bin problem to reslove, heres my Backup Launcher Banner.

Banner
My Menu icon is the same as meohsix's because i used his wad as a template.
The music is only 10 seconds.

Heres the wad: http://rapidshare.com/files/153140866/in.wad.html

Edit: fixed my sound problem

yeah we need another version of the backup launcher some bug issues and some GUI issues and psycon if you can do some cleaning up that would be great but we do need another version of the channel and wiigator wake up and help us

I'm running a strictly linux laptop. Nothing win32 here.

With that said im trying to get the extractpartition binary to work. here is what happens:

Code:

$./extractpartition madden_bkup.iso test.iso
Title id: RFLE
Group id: 69
Name: Madden NFL 09

2 partitions:
ÂÂÂÂpartition #0 @ 000050000 type 1
ÂÂÂÂpartition #1 @ 00f800000 type 0

Doing partition 0...

My directory contents are as follows:

I'm currently running Ubuntu (Debian). I'm an avid user and not a noob... feel free to get technical.

Make a directory called ".wii" in your home directory and put "root-key" and "common-key" in there. That should be all you need. I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 and haven't had too much trouble. I was using Waninkoko's "backup-creator.exe" under a Wine command line (which works well) but now I use "extractpartition" because it just feels better being native.

Like some others here I'm looking at modifying this launcher to work more how I'd like it to. I'm going to change it to automatically run the game with my settings unless I hold 'A' when the channel opens... Just one snag: I can't get the damned thing to compile. Could someone take a look at this output and maybe give me a pointer or two? Thanks. BTW I'm using the latest DevkitPro and libogc on Ubuntu:

good luck man, it would be awesome to auto load

Shadowmoses · Oct 12, 2008

i made this custom backup banner, if someone want to use it to make a channel:

OSW · Oct 12, 2008

great design!

i really wish there was some allinone safe and automatic banner tool...

Arm the Homeless · Oct 12, 2008

First, just to make backup creating easy,

Code:

sudo mv extractpartition /usr/bin

Then all you have to do is type extractpartition.

To get it to work,

Code:

mkdir ~/.wii
dd if=/dev/zero of=~/.wii/root-key count=1 bs=516
cp common-key ~/.wii

Ignore the errors, I compared two ISOs with md5sum and they were the same.
