Hacking Crap, easy to use channel creator

[bnm81002]

I found a bug, with the "Wad Naming" selection, the 1st and last selections work but the middle selection only shows the Discld but not the GameName at all?

anyone else having this problem

Well that's a minor problem but I'll fix it...

Good job on adding a cfgUSB forwarder with partition selection support including FAT partitions. Now we just need the ability to extract banners and GameIDs from wbfs containers to create channels directly from a FAT drive.

If it helps, this can be used to extract a banner from a .wbfs file:
wbfs_file gameid.wbfs extract_file gameid opening.bnr

(although the filename is case sensitive and some games use OPENING.BNR, but that is a trivial fix inside wbfs_file)

Hmm, what partition does this gets the banner from, always game partition? I may add support for this.

ps: also can you add an option so that full path for the extracted file can be specified.. user may not want opening.bnr created in the same folder as wbfs file... Currently I'll move the file...

-----------------------------------------------------------------
* Second wad naming option (Game name-Disc Id.wad) fixed.

* List of games from Wbfs drive sorted by game name (May bork if
there are more than 1 game with the same name)

* Added ability to extract banners using wbfs_file.exe, copy 
wbfs_file.exe under 3rdParty folder and use ISO/WBFS File selection
to open a wbfs file.

Awesome.
Let me think of somethin to make.

Thanks for this project. Just created a few channels for my Wii, and it works great.

Thank you very much

Thank you guys, but somehow the extraction process using wbfs_file does not work for me. Are special files necessary for that? More specifically, extracting manually with wbfs_file works, but crap errors. It is a different error from the one I get when wbfs_file is not added, though.
Also, I have recently encountered trouble with the "test/install" function not working.
The banner extraction problem can be easily circumvented by a banner extraction batch script, which is currently in my Wii.:
bannerizer.bat:CODE@ECHO OFF
FOR %%I IN (*.WBFS) DO bannerize %%I

bannerize.bat:CODE

@ECHO OFF
WBFS_FILE %1 extract_file %~n1 opening.bnr
REN opening.bnr %~n1.bnr

and wbfs_file.exe, all in USBFAT:/wbfs/
Then run bannerizer.bat and it will extract the banners of all games.

Well I only tested with wii sports... maybe folder problems, could it be that your wbfs files stays in a path in which there are spaces... It seems I didn't handle this case..

About test/install feature not working, could you describe what kind of trouble?

ps: Space issue I tested, indeed it's problematic...

 

[WiiCrazy]

Fixed the space in wbfs path problem in-place... meaning if you downloaded before seeing this message, please download again...

Thanks for the recent updates!

Whitespace should not have been an issue, crap was in h:\burn\wii\crap and WBFS containers in k:\wbfs. Despite that, the fix works.
Pressing "Test/Install" yields a windows error, in the Win UI language. A rough translation:
Path must not be NULL. (or zero, idk)
Parameter name: path

Ok, you are getting that error because Test/Install feature can only be used after packing the wad. Yes I know I should have made it so that it stays disabled until a wad created, guess I'm too lazy...

 

[Fat D]

Oh, thank you. Now it works. Well, except for the fact that red steel chokes while loading, but that might very well be due to requiring the alt dol. - youp, that was it.

I can not create Mario Kart Wii Channel, while other games work fine.

Would you please check ? Thanks.

Hmm, Mario Kart had that weird disc id.. Try from wbfs for example or extract the banner and rename it to the correct disc Id and use that... was it RMC(E/P)01?
Possibly the iso you have is brickblocked in a strange way...

No brickblocked. My ISO is untouched. However, I found that Loadstructor works just fine.
