Hacking Delete or hide the disc channel?

[AbdallahTerro]

Hey @[member='SifJar'], Disc Channel is booting neogamma via priiloader.
Time to change that empty disc banner.

You would want a theme for that.

Is there a theme that only changes the disc channel banner?

I checked those sites:

It seems to be very complicated to just make a theme that changes the "disk channel" banner... system menu version and region dependent
I hope there was a way to just patch the 0000009a.app file with diskBann.ash file! If not then I have to recreate my original theme with the modified disk channel banner file
maybe @diddy81 can help.

take diskBann.ash from the mym you want the disc banner of. Use ThemeMii to create a theme that ONLY replaces that one file, use the one you extracted as the source file. Build theme into CSM. install.

 

[diddy81]

what kind of animation are you after ?
theres lots to edit

when you first go in the channel the disks spin then stop

the anim of the disks spinning while the wii reads the disk

the anim of the wii disk going down when its finished loading a wii game

the anim of the GC disk going down when its finished loading a GC game

the unknown disk anim

i know theres more in there too but they was off the too of my head

or are you just wanting pic changes

also the diskbann.ash is the same file for pal and ntsc so you only need the one mym for different system menu version and region

Thanks SifJar just tested on Uneek-neek2o Nand
I also needed to keep this file too "diskThum.ash" for the tiny thumbnail

Anything here will be better than the empty disk
diskBann.ash and diskThum.ash only changes the background of the channel
is there a webpage where themes are previewed so I can pick one, I'll do more testing with neek2o nand before trying on the real nand.

It looks cool

diskBann.ash and diskThum.ash dont only changes the background they change the whole screen if you know how

that pic in the disk channel is the same as in my darkwii red theme
i have all the videos of our themes in my main thread links in my sig

Why on earth would anyone NOT want the Disc Channel? Its the best channel when a Mythbusters marathon is on.

What files are also involved (besides diskBann.ash and diskThum.ash)

 

[diddy81]

its just them 2 files but if you unpack them you will see all the files that are inside them
if you only want picture changes its quite easy just grab one that has the full bg hacked in and swap the pics

if you want a custom animation it starts to get abit more complex

In my opinion, up till now, there is still no known way to delete the disc channel. I heard about this thing called the AnyTiltleDeleter, a homebrew that can delete any channel. That's worth a shot

You should have read the thread a little more and you would have seen some replies that say that the disc channel is in fact not really a channel. It is part of the system menu.
