Hacking Banners/icon templates for Wii VC

[Jalink9406]

EASIEST WAY TO EXTRACT BANNER SOUNDS IN WAV FORMAT FROM A WII GAME (ISO OR WBFS)

After spending many hours trying to find an easy method for extracting the banner sounds for using them as bootSounds for WiiVC injects, I found out there's a way to getting them directly as .wav in less than a minute.

Requirements:

• Loadstructor 1.7
  
• CustomizeMii 3.11
  
• Wii ISO or WBFS

Guide:

1. Open Loadstructor.exe and click on "Add ISO" (Or Add WBFS)
2. Select the iso file you want to extract the banner sound from
3. Click "RUN" and it will create a wad file for the game on the wads folder
4. Open CustomizeMii.exe and load the created wad file in the "Source Wad" option
5. On the "Options" tab click on Extract>Sound>As Audiofile

And that's it, it will generate the wav file which you can directly use as a bootSound for a WiiVC inject.

If the audio sound is longer than 6 seconds it will get trimmed and the sound will cut when you are booting your game (which I personally hate), so you can try speeding up the audio to make it fit in 6 seconds (1.3x has worked for me). That way, it is played completely before the game starts but sometimes it is too fast, so play around until you find what works for you.

A huge thank you to everyone who has shared their templates, banners and icons and I hope this small guide helps someone too!

EDIT: It seems I'm not able to post links cause I'm new, so I can't give you the links to the programs

If you use Gimp, you can try the template in my sig, there you can change every detail to your liking, want another console picture in the background, just add that layer and remove the one that was there It isn't just as simple as the universal template (which is probably quicker ), but maybe it can do what you want

Some game are missing in the list, and maybe some LEGO games could make an appearance.

Like some games on the Wii:
-LEGO Star Wars: the complete saga
-LEGO Star Wars 3: the clone wars
-LEGO Rock Band
-LEGO Harry Potter: Year 1-4 as well as Year 5-7

Spoiler

more LEGO games are on the list on the wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Lego_video_games

And also, some idea if you wan't to do some homebrew application on the WiiU. I don't see them all, but some that are being used frequently fore some users:
-"HID to VPAD"
-"NNU Patcher" for some users that they don't wan't to update their console and still acess to the eshop
-"SDcafiine"
-"TCPGecko" for some hack
-"SwapDRC" for swapping the TV screen and the gamepad screen
-"UserMii Client" for some controls sent to our computer
-"WUP Installer GX2" to install games
-"WiiU USB Helper Transfer Tool" to get games from our computer to our console

In anyway, I don't force you to do these images, but I just enumerate some ideas if you have some free time to do them.

Just done these lego games:
GC
Lego Star Wars: The Video Game
Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy
Wii
Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga
Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures

Others can be made, but I don't have much time today

@markehmus , @Crazystato ?

Yeah, I left those templates with "Released:" and "Players: 1" in the background because we couldn't find the exact console models in order to recreate the whole banner, and since the these data is always present in all the american banners I just left them there, though the font layer still fully recreated on top.

It would generate problems for users from other countries I think? I'm not sure how are foreign banners tbh.

@cucholix please check this...

Looks good, you would make the console model opacity down to 60%-70% like the official VC banners.
A few details:

• NES logo looks over satured, you can compare it with the "official" folder in my universal_vc_bootTvTex_template, it contains the official banners, you can compare the exact alignment for the logo too.
• Famicon console model image looks pretty compressed also, there's a shody cut job in the top , same as the NES logo it looks satured, would need to compare with a japanese VC release though.

Overall looks like a nice option for PAL and japanese users

I quickly threw together a couple of templates for making Wii U HOME Menu icons for all your GCN/Wii games. For GameCube, just edit a screen capture of your game's title screen to be 128x96, then copy it, then open the template in GIMP and choose the layer, "Paste title screen here," and do just that. Export as PNG, and you got yourself an icon that'll look right at home on the Wii U's HOME Menu!

Wii is a bit more tricky, since officially released games use the games' banners for their icons, and I can't for the life of me find any decent screen captures of those, so I just use title screens for those as well. :/

Here's a few I made myself:

[tallpr24]

can some one share with a good bootsound.wav for wii injects?

 

[Allav866]

If I don't use a bootSound.wav when injecting a Wii game, will the injector default to the Wii VC startup noise, or will it use the generic startup noise for Wii U titles that don't have one (e.g. Netflix, YouTube, Haxchi, etc.)?

Hi, Sorry to ask but could someone please do the banners and covers for Monster Hunter Tri as I have no idea how to do them myself. Thanks
