UPDATE: Added FCE Ultra (Virtual Console Banner).
The link is broken...
It seems like you can't direct link to files on http://www5.atpages.jp/wiihack/, so those channels might have to be reuploaded personally (or sthey probably should be anyways, unless you have permission to direct link to his site)

Could somebody make a channel for AnyTitle Deleter?

If you could, I'd be endlessly happy.

i would like that too.
I injected it into the WAD Uninstaller channel (i think that channel looks good).
I also injected the WAD manager 1.1 into into the WAD installer channel (because i think it looks better the the manager channel)

mplayer with dvd goes in an infiniteloop on install = broken ;-) nice try though

where does the loop happen? while installing are launching the channel. if the latter then make sure you have the required files for mplayer.

For some reason I can't get Gnuboy or RIN to work!

Not sure what I'm doing wrong, the RIN comes up but it doesn't show any of my roms and it freezes. And the Gnuboy says, something to the fact it won't work. Not sure how the folders should be on the SD card, this is what i used.

x/gnuboy/roms/saves
x/rin/roms/saves

any help please!!!

Thanks

I doesn't know about RIN but here is what is mentionned on the gnuboy page at wiibrew:

QUOTE said:
Installation

* Rename gnuboy_wii.dol as boot.dol and place it on your sdcard with included meta.xml and icon.png files (/apps/gnuboy)
* Create the Directory /gnuboy at the root of your SD Card.
* Create the directory /gnuboy/roms on your SD Card and copy your ROM files there.
* /gnuboy/saves is automatically created if it does not exist.
* Select Load New Game from the Main Menu to load a ROM.
* Select Play Game from the Main Menu to begin playing the game.

seems easy to me


also, a bit of research does not harm anybody

X stands drive letter of your SD card. lets say you have a C, D, E drive. then you plug in your sd card. it should be F. double click it, and make a folder called gnuboy/roms.

Jacobeian: I did research and read the wiibrew but I don't want to run it through Homebrew channel, I want to run it through the Zelda hack, thanks though.

samsam12: I already have the Snes9x emulator on my Wii and it works great. So when I try to put the Gnuboy on my Wii through the Zelda hack, it downloads sucessfully and the channel is now on my Wii, so I select the channel and it says "This Channel Cannot Be Used"!

I place the wad into the wad folder and on the root of my sd card F:/gnubuy/inside of gnuboy I have roms/saves

Thanks BumbleBee

Place the gnuboy_wii.dol file as boot.dol (you HAVE to rename it to boot.dol) on the Root of the SDcard. Create the Directory /gnuboy at the root of your SD Card. Create the directory /gnuboy/roms on your SD Card and copy your ROM files there. Run using the Twilight Hack as usual. You cannot use the gnuboy.wad file, it has to be the .dol or .elf file.

So the SD Card should look like this:
boot.dol
[gnuboy]

Then inside [gnuboy]:
[roms]
[saves]

it says "this Channel Cannot be used" because its set to PAL as its region. use freethewads or Starfall.
