Hacking Coverflow demo

[Benjay]

The game covers in the background look very wide on your 16:9 display, so maybe you could make an anamorphic background for widescreen displays. I'm not sure if you're working with a 640x480 background template, but if you are, there was a trick used when making themes for the old Ultimate USB Loader. You could build the background using 795x480 dimensions, and then resize them to 640x480. The box covers and background will look squished, or skinny, but when displayed on a 16:9 tv, they stretch to look normal. Great work either way, and I can't wait to use the final forwarder

that's exactly what i'm working on , but it involves to modify the brlyt file to change the size of background pictures.
It was too late in the night yesterday to install benzin and try to do it.
i'm going to install it now and will see what i can do this evening.

tHX Benjay for this Forwarder

What Wii-Theme did u use, it looks nice, I use DarkWii, but I hate the DarkWii Labels on the Channels.

it's "Darkwii extended final" found on softmii.org (in the forum , not in the download links

)

@Benjay

Thanks for the nice Forwarder, is this one regionfree?

Forwarders are always region free no ?

QUOTE(BlindDude @ Jun 22 2009, 07:49 PM) nice forwarder benjay.. I like excite truck too.. lol

Yeah ^^ when i said "by myself" it was WADder by myself , the first i have posted had been edited by JQE for me.
And i've spent so much time on this game that i remembered the banner when playing with wadder.
icon.bin comes from another game , but i don't know which......

I'm getting code dump (PAL WII, waninkoko's 4.0, CIOS 13a, wiiflow works with homebrew channel)

first , put the .conf file from the package on your SD root.

did you do this ?
because it dseems to work for everyone here.
I'm on 4.0E with rev12 if it can help.


Thank you all for the comments.

ok now confused... im using a version of the loader and it has the option in one of the menus for 002 fix..... is this the latest one ? if not which is?

 

[Benjay]

well , hard to say , there was a versiuon with 002 option but non working.
and the last is working.
But hibern has edited his link to download (private ftp).

So to be sure , get the last version , look page 48 or 49 , something like that...

Yes I put elf_dol_forwarder.conf to root of SD card, I tried without SD card (FAT partition not found restart wii) then with SD card (it went to wiiflow but when I pressed settings again code dump)
Now I will try with different SD card

EDIT: same problem

 

[Benjay]

Well , be a little patient , and i shall provide a better version , with a better .dol (thx Blue

)

Does anyone have wiimote sync issues when the loader has loaded?.

The loader loads up fast but then it takes about 5-10secs for the wiimote to sync with the loader, i just get 2 blue flashing lights for this period of time.

Using the beta2 with 002 fix and cios rev13a.

It may be something to do with 13a because i never got it with rev10, but i need to use 13a so i can play 002 games.

 

[Benjay]

i'm on rev12 and doesn't encounter your problem.

 

[Spidy1000]

rev 13a and no problem here also

 

[Scoobyscoobydoo]

Wrote in error, couldnt get my settings to save away but sorted out the theme folder and its saving away now to theme.ini

Yo scooby
In our pm's i had said that the first time I used 13a the wiimore took a long time to sync.. Then after installing other cios's and coming back to 13a, the wiimote synced fine..

BUT now I bought a brand new wii,, lu65(dont know id that has anything to do with it) but now on rev13a, the wiimote takes forever to sync again. Strange because I have installed all the same cios's as the other wii.
So its not just you still.

Oh and the 2 lights flashing instead of 4 means your batteries are half dead.

@benjay.. I have tried to use that universal forwarder from wadder too.. the only VERY good thing it is usefull for is using it for your preloader dol.. no code dumps from preloader, and its supper small size.

@ everybody else... conf. file is the best way to go IMO.. this way you dont have to keep installing new channel wads to replace the old one.. all you do is change the location of the dol in the conf. file...Much better option IMO. Same goes with preloader,, if you install this dol as the "file" in preloader, then you dont have to risk installing ANY other file into the nand or wherever preloader puts it

Cheers for the update Blinddude, hopefully hibern knows about this or can look at it.
I did some testing and loader GX doesnt have this problem, the wiimote sync fine.

Fingers crossed hibern can fix it.

 

[BlindDude]

Hey BlindDude,

Is there a setting I can change in the config for your forwarder to get it working with the newest release?

Umm, it works the same as the previous release.. Please check that you put the wiiflow boot.dol in SD:/apps/wiiflow/ and aslo make sure you have the blinddude.conf in SD root.

[reddevilmeuk]

What link ? What password ?

the link is HERE

and the password was a few pages back

QUOTEI would like some people to test the current version.
So here it is, but i've added a password, which is manybugs, just to remind you what you may encounter.
I haven't had time to test it, nobody else has tested it, so it might have serious bugs.

thanks everyone, now installed with cIOS13 and it's also working fine now....

@Benjay nice channel


does anyone have a list of games that require the 002 fix?
