[AbdallahTerro]

Added direct links to Channels, Forwarders and Homebrew apps for both DML and DM in first post.
Hope you like the new design

Before this thread gets anywhere off topic I would like to make a request of sorts; AdballaTerro could you make 16:9 art for the banners of :Zelda Wind Waker, Zelda Four Swords, Super Mario Sunshine, Pikmin 1 and 2, WarioWorld, Luigi's Mansion, Mario Kart Double Dash, Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door, and Sonic Adventure DX?

And @FIX94 I think I found something that should sum up (in music) your time from gbatemp noob to admin. This site releases all their music for free with permission from the developers so no piracy here.

EDIT: Darn, it's hard to use BBCode in posts for some reason.

I didn't realise you could play backups of GC games on the Wii?! Happy days!!

I made tutorials already and they are very clear. Try them out and if you don't succeed I'll make them for you next week

I just recently started learning the commands in the quick reply so it's all good. I've tried doing it manually but my links with names like the last link in my post you replied to required me to use the "Link" command in the quick reply box otherwise it would end up like this; http://www.8bitpeopl...ur_mission]This site releases all their music for free so no piracy here.[/url] I don't know why it does that . Normally my BBCode is fine since I'm kind of a computer junkie , I still have my windows 95 machine and she runs great!

Did you like the album? I know I did

Epic Abdallahterro, I'm thinking of waiting until Dios-Mios is released prior to updating old channels with new booter. Reason being fix might update the booter if the need arises once DM comes out.

Thanks for the tutorials I'll be using them soon :-)

 

[AbdallahTerro]

Hey Rican,
Yes I think waiting for DM is the way to go. But I've read somewhere that a beta was leaked!!!
Is this true? Maybe we can test DM-Booter and see if works fine.
Glad you liked the tutorials
TC

 

[AbdallahTerro]

@Fix94 I have a suggestion for DM-Booter that can be handy until Crediar makes things official.
Why not add am option to the settings: "Run Games From" can be "SD only" "USB only" or "Both"

This way we can select "SD only" (for now), see our USB games and when we run the game it will be copied to SD if enough disc space is present and launched successfully.
Later when DM works from USB we can select "USB" or "Both" and run the games directly without copying.
I'm not sure whether to add a "Delete" option or not.
Thanks

 

[AbdallahTerro]

Here are 15 background images in 16:9 aspect ratio for the most wanted games.
I'll not update or replace channel wads nor GX banners in my downloads folders, updating existing channels is not that hard and the tutorials are self explanatory.
Included games:
-------------------
Animal Crossing - UGAF
Beyond Good & Evil - UGGE
Eternal Darkness SR - UGED
Legend of Zelda 4 SA - UG4S
Luigi's Mansion - UGLM
Mario Kart D-Dash - UGM4
Paper Mario 1000 - UG8M
Pikmin - UGPI
Pikmin 2 - UGPV
Sonic Adventure DX DC - UGXS
Soul Calibur II - UGRS
Super Mario Sunshine - UGMS
Super Smash Bros. Me - UGAL
Wario World - UGWW
Zelda The Wind Waker - UGZL

@Jelly-guy all your requested banners are here too

Spoiler

The wind waker and mario 1000yd are different from the ones in first post, the others are just cropped or enlarged to the correct 800x450 pixels
Tbh I didn't see much of a difference in the looks of most new banners as compared to the old ones.

FIX94 has added a HBC pack for SVN r20 on the Dios Mios Booter google-code download page.

No new committed revisions as yet though. I guess we won't see anything until DM is actually released... which will be if crediar decides to continue with the project. Although... Speaking of which, there hasn't been anything new with DML as of late either.

 

[AbdallahTerro]

Thanks Fix,
Will you add "copy to sd" and "boot from" option in the near future?

 

[FIX94]

I'll leave the device selection as it is, no need for some boot from option, because if you for example switch to usb all your games will automatically boot from usb, I've added a general ini entry for it. The copy to sd will prolly follow, its easy to do for me since I've done it for wiiflow already

 

[AbdallahTerro]

Everything is easy with Fix94

 

[FIX94]

Maybe someone can test the game copier for me?

I'd like to request a forwarder channel for Mario Kart Arcade GP 2 (GGPE02). Any info let me know, and I will attempt to get it for you between helping my wife with the kids.

 

[AbdallahTerro]

Ok guys I finished the banners and sound tracks, still need the apploaders and (folder structure - optional)
if I have these I'll post them today

 

[AbdallahTerro]

@[member='pepxl'] or anyone else for that matter
can you send me the 2 dols for gp1 and gp2 (the ones you shared in IRC today) via pm please

 

[AbdallahTerro]

 

[LWares87]

If you're doing both the arcade mario karts, you should change the default logo you use for the icons as the official "sega triforce board" logo.
