Homebrew Elf/Dol Forwarder for Custom Channels

[fuxxi]

Could anybody make a wad channel of the forwarder itself from latest version (0.2.1) ?

Thank You very much!

Why cant you do it yourself, using autoinjectuwad off wiibrew? then you can start injecting yourself

Very great SpaceJump!
Just used your method to create a nice SoftChip Link Channel.

ATM I'm thinking of an all purpose Channel.
Just need to think of the banner design...

I wonder if you could provide me a dol...
Would be great to have otherHB.dol under SD:\otherHB
Or would you give out your source code, so I can compile it myself?

Really nice to have!

Just tell me where the boot.dol you want to load is loacated and I'll compile it for you. Source code is really not ready no be released.
I linked your SoftChip wad from your sig in the list (with credit). I hope that's ok.

@fuxxi: I will make a wad once I get home from work in the evening.

 

[WiiShizzza]

Sure it's okay to link my softchip wad.

Plz compile for me:
SD:\allpurpose\allpurpose.dol

thank you in advance.

The Elf/Dol Forwarder Generic v0.2.1 does exactly what you want to do if I understand you correctly. See the first post for more information.

 

[WiiShizzza]

Ty. I have a look at it:
Meanwhile I heard from some people, that the softchip forwarder.dol in my channel makes peoples BGM skip and giving out errors...
Maybe you could have a look at it again? As I checked the channel and can't see any errors with the channels.

 

[SpaceJump]

I don't use SoftChip or any other softmod app so I really cannot help you there. The problems you mention don't occur when you load SoftChip from HBC?

 

[WiiShizzza]

Yes. No problems when running through hbc.
Actually I don't have problems with that Forwarder-Channel at all.
But some people in the SoftChip thread...

Could it be cause of a different region?
I would doubt it....

Hm, that's strange cause it's works for you. Can't think of what could be the problem. Something in your Wii setup and theirs have to be different.

I'm doing exactly the same for the genesis channel but I'm always getting code dump, any idea why? I even tried the wad on the first post and still getting code dump.

i have the boot.dol with sdhc support in the apps/genplus/ folder.

 

[pika9323]

Hmm sry but i don´t really understand it.

So for example i use the dol_forwarder.dol. I rename it to test.dol.

Then i inject this dol in a wad.

After that i install the wad.

But then which dol and where will it load on my SD Card?


Again in german ( so you can understand me easier):

Also wenn ich dol_forwarder.dol z.B. un test.dol umbenne und dann in eine beliebige Wad injecte.
Diese Wad wird dann installiert.
Wie kann ich nun festlegen, woher die Wad ihre dol bezieht? Vllt. apps\test\test.dol oder wie? Verstehe das Prinzip zwar, jedoch ist mir dieser Teil nicht ganz klar.

Soweit hab ich es verstanden:
Die Dol in der Wad heißt menetwegen Peter.dol. Ich erstelle dann in Root der SD Karte einen Ordner mit Namen Peter. Dann kommt die Peter.dol in das Verzeichniss Peter. Diese wird dann geladen.

Und wie mache ich es, dass er z.B. apss\peter\boot.dol ließt? Geht das?

ty.

 

[djdynamite123]

you name is boot.dol inject to a wad, then it will locate your .dol from your SD Card, has to be the correct folder name though

 

[pika9323]

Okay but how do i know from which Folder it will load the dol?

 

[djdynamite123]

Okay but how do i know from which Folder it will load the dol?

well if you download from wiibrew or whatever, it should be that exact folder if you rename the folder it wont recognise it!

 

[kevenz]

SpaceJump: great job on everything but I have 2 small questions:

1. is there a limit of how big the boot.dol can be on the sd cards for the forwarder to work?

2. is the path case sensitive? like genplus and GenPlus will both work?

Thank you

I'm trying to figure out my "code dump" problem.

Thank you I'm trying to figure out my "code dump" problem.

maybe you have the wrong named folder, to what the path is of the forwarder, spacejump will need to clarify with you what's the correct folder name.

Ok I decided to help.

Each wad only takes 8 blocks.

@pika: Which version of the Dol Forwarder are you using. If it's Generic v0.2.1 then you have to configure in the elf_dol_forwarder.conf file which boot.dol or boot.elf you want it to load.

@kevenz: Yes, the path is case sensitive. Thanks for your wads. Are they tested? Do you have previews pics of them?
