Hacking Custom Channels All Updated

[Adr990]

Okay thanks

Also why the 112x32 Logo get stretched?

I mean I installed the Gecko OS channel(s) and it looked good... just 112x32 with white background around it...

Thanks for all help again guys!

Also, WAV can be MP3?
(since MP3 10 sec is smaller than WAV 10 sec)

If you do the IconImage and LogoChan at the same time for some reason the LogoChan image gets swapped with the IconImage image

This could be what your seeing?

Ive had this happen and i know another guy who had the same

you can use mp3 but you will have to convert it back to wav then rename it to sound.bin (have you read the tutorial?)

hey. Everytime i tried to make a Custom Channel it looked crappy so i took advice from people on this thread and changed it to a png. but now tplconv wont recognize it and that tpl-Fe thing by HowardC just makes the Sys files corrupt. What do i do?

 

[Wiisel]

sys files corrupt ? are you banner bricked?
use jpeg and make sure your images are the correct pixel size (dimentions)

 

[Sorox]

Its not a banner brick. It lets me restart and i can uninstall the wad. Im trying with Jpeg now.Just tried again. Same problem. All my files are corect sizes too. All im changing is the sound.bin (MD5 signed), the banner (590 x 332) and the logochan.tpl (112 x 32). It works fine up until i click the channel on the wii menu. From there it says my system files are corrupt. then i shut of my wii and try working the problem out.

Is it region free? Is the out.wad size anything close to the in.wad? or is it alot bigger? It shouldn't change too much...

 

[Wiisel]

so the logochan works as you see that so sounds like its either your banner or sound.bin thats screwed i would put my money on the sound.bin being wrong ahve you tried doing each step and testing the wad inbetween to eliminate or are you packing all three at the same time.

Well I get to see this:
I restarted the Image to TPL either...

Stretched and not like Starfall or Gecko OS channels made here, show up as 112x32

 

[Sorox]

Its not region free. Its a little bit bigger. It went from 3.5mb to 11.8mb but thats because i have a 5mb sound.bin in there. that still doesnt make up for the 3mb of free space.

Im trying to see if its the sound.bin now. I got the channel and just added the sound.bin

Just use it its the correct size it will display correct on Wii its just the prog displaying in the wrong aspect

 

[Sorox]

Yeah its my sound.bin. Im going to make a diffrent one.

 

[Sorox]

Well i used a diffrent Mp3 and the sound.bin was 14mb. Not too bad. I pack it altogether and it says its 31mb. Wtf is up with that? it should only be like 18mb!

 

[Wiisel]

are you converting the mp3's to wav like in the tut?

 

[Sorox]

Yeah. I export as .wav than change to sound.bin

 

[Wiisel]

wtf are you packing a whole CD in the sound.bin biggest wad i have on my sd is space invaders get even and thats 42.1mb

 

[Sorox]

Finnaly got it to work but the banner is really choppy. I used a png. Should i use Jpg or gif? or maybe bmp?

 

[Wiisel]

what do you mean by choppy could you PM me the banner so i can have a look

 

[Sorox]

The pictures fine on my comp but when it gets to the wii the pikels are off likes theres more than one layer. Im trying again with Jpg this time.

Still choppy. What am i supposed to check off on tpl_edit_fe.exe? RGB565 or RGB5A3 or transparent?

 

[Wiisel]

Ive been using a res of 72 pixels/inch maybe you need to up it

RGB565 is checked in the tut ive never changed it

 

[Sorox]

How do i change that? Irfanview? If so, is it under DPI cause that says 72.
