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.

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.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
