This channel is great. Thanks to all you people who made this! Only 21 blocks of memory too. Glad to see it's Alpha 3.

The channel itself isn't alpha3 as you call it. It will load whatever version you have on your sd in /apps/geexbox/boot.elf.

Oh Yes!! Even better! So when it updates I can just change the boot.elf.
Just one question. If I change the boot elf (from Geebox) to another app(elf), will it also boot that? I know the banner will be wrong.

Nice banner Sonic DX. Can you please make a version with the banner without that TV and no sound? Also could you make a wad for the elf_forwarder generic version (look at the first post)?...

Maybe a banner like this?! I just took it from the official homepage so no credits for me

For that purpose you can use the generic version of the elf forwarder (see first post).

Edit: Master Mo, that would make a nice banner

Would it be possible for some kind person to make a small tutorial about how to use the generic version to make a blank channel for any app. Does the elf_dol_forwarder folder go in the root of SD cars or in apps folder?

I updated the first post with more clear instructions. I also updated the readme that comes with the archieve

@djdynamite: There don't have to be just one version. I'm just asking for an alternative.

As I wrote before a dol_forwarder will follow in the next few days. It will load a .dol from the folder "elf_dol_forwarder".

A quicky:

Channel:


Something else needed?


Oh, and Alpha4 works fine for me. I installed your Channel and it loads Alpha4 from SD without problems.
