Hacking Custom Channels

[Sportsmaniac1322]

When I installed the MPlayer channel, it says "This channel can't be used.". It stays like that until I turn the Wii off. Did I do something wrong?

Ocarina worked though. You could be right though. I'm not gonna try it though because when I tried the real app (loaded through HBC) I didn't like the interface. Geexbox is a ton better!

EDIT: Just out of curiosity, I tried Freethewads and it worked. Samsam12, before you post these from now on, can you make sure Freethewads has been run on them? That would make things a whole lot easier!

I don't believe this is worthy of being stickied yet as you have not labeled which version of the emulators is inside each channel. This is essential in choosing a channel to install. Until these are labeled by version this thread is useless.

ok, I'll list the version of the channels

I disagree. It doesn't matter the version of the homebrew, because you can easily update it using autowadinjector to inject a homebrew .dol file.
Saves you the bother of updating the channels all the time. Should out a short guide in this topic.

It's more important to credit who made/designed the channels.

In the interests of making this a good topic, here are some that have been missed (i'll upload them later if people cant find them):

Fce Ultra (paradox)
SNES9X (paradox)
VisualBoy Advance (paradox)
(they have different designs to the sound versions by wichoxp that uve already uploaded)

Bunch of MPlayer channel older versions by CBT (the design was changed a few times)
Guitar Fun CBT old version

Mag loader (unknown)
Mag loader (broly7)

SNES9X (Another version... i named it "bo banner" i'll try and dig up the source...)
SNES9X (DRaGMaRe) uses virtual console banner style.
(these two may have been one of the ones on http://www5.atpages.jp/wiihack/))

There are Blank channels too (no icon, banner or sound) such as TCPloader channel (available on wiibrew) so we should post one in the interests of completeness.

alot of these can be found here on temp or http://www5.atpages.jp/wiihack/ as teq noted.

i find no need add other channel versions of already fine channels. however, i will add the Mag loader and any other channels i can find.

 

[samsam12]

UPDATE: Added MAG Loader.

What exactly does the WAD Manager do?


Thanks elm

 

[samsam12]

UPDATE: Added MAG Loader.

it allows you to install custom channels, Virtual Console, and WiiWare games. get the wad manager and you can use all my custom channels.

why not?

who's to say any one channel is better designed than another? different designs suit different people so imo you should not discard them.
I even have 2 different snes channels and 2 fceu channels installed on my wii just because i like both designs (not entirely impractical too, i have snes 1.43 and 1.5 because 1.43 has some advantages apparantly, and this way each can have their own unique banner)

i could understand if the designs were exactly the same but one had music (hence better imo... but even that could still be debated lol), however these are different designs and some of them are great.
