Homebrew Can someone compile WiiMC with a simple change?

[SuperrSonic]

I would like if I may to have the option to display videos with square pixels properly, as Wii pixels are more like DVD pixels if not the same.

To do this I intended to change "viWidth = 672"(if Wii is set to 4:3) to 704 in video.cpp and video.c but the lib dependencies needed would not compile no matter what I did.

That's why I would like to see someone else try this, I believe Netflix, Hulu Plus and Amazon Instant are using 704 for displaying their videos, YouTube ignores it and uses 672.

The idea is to experiment to see how well it looks; not as a replacement but as an option.

This could also be done for 16:9 mode by changing both viWidth values in video.cpp and video.c to 704, video.c has the viWidths for PAL mode.

There's around 2000 instances with that value in the file so hex editing is out of the question, that is until I can compare with a differently compiled .dol




Never mind, I did it by hex editing in the end turns out I could use another Tantric homebrew to figure out the location.

WiiMC with square pixels is now possible for NTSC users, this is only for 4:3 mode.

If you want to use your own value the hex address is 0x1109F2

You should go to the wiimc forums, you might get more help there.

I doubt I'll get any help from those forums, the more recent threads have zero replies.
