Could someone make a dol fowarder for MPlayer CE? The path that is needed is /apps/mplayer_ce

i debugged a little.

it hangs about 5sek on the read function

fread( myBuffer, 1, size, inputFile);

then the screen went garbled green and i have to shutdown. (size gets correct reported)

1) anyone can compile me a dol for "Snes9xGX"?!
2) any ideas why it wont work on my system? (3.1E)

(libogc 1.7.0 + libfat fix 20081210)
TIA, Myron

1) look on the first page of this topic
2) the newest version is very buggy, sometimes it doesn't even start from hb-channel,
wait for the next release or use an older version and you'll be fine

 

[myron0815]

thx, but i dont want to use a config file.
Compiling has to work

buggy? Snes? or libogc?
never had any issues with snes so far (neither with releases, nor with self compiled ones)
Works everytime, but not with forwarder.... *grml*

maybe i should try to forward another app, to see if its app related or something different

Those warnings can be ignored

Those warnings can be ignored

Think so...

hi, /me again

tried to compile an ftpii forwarder... -> blank screen
used spacejumps ftpii forwarder -> works

can anyone upload his complete devkitppc folder (~30mb compressed) or at least say, which version of what your are useing?
(tried it with devkit 1.4.9, 1.4.10, libogc 1.7.0/171/171a/provided always the same)
Feeling now a little dumb, not beeing able to compile such simple thing...

(compiling svn Snes9xGX worked)

ps: still trying to compile Snes9xGX specific forwarder

Edit:
Tried to use the precompiled Snes9xgx from the recently discovered wiki

Whilst this works when launched via HBC, injected into wad it also results in a black screen!

Could someone make a dol fowarder for MPlayer CE? The path that is needed is /apps/mplayer_ce

there you go, mplayer ce with custom banner

wad and dol:
http://rapidshare.com/files/201052278/Forw...r_MPlayer_CE.7z

Anyway to compile this dol to support SDHC? The latest MPlayer CE dol works fine via the HBC, but the forwarder WAD I have does not work on my SDHC card.

spacejump or anyone else has to update the source to support sdhc...

 

[-Unknown-]

Has anyone made a linking channel for WiiGator's BL or GameCube BL?

I just don't want to go through the trouble of making one (two) if someone has already made one (a Softchip one exists)

 

[loopguy]

i tried to compile some forwarder channels with the newest libfat to have sdhc support, but only some emulators seem to work, mplayer ce and wadmanager got black screen.... i used the source on the first page.

@SpaceJump
whats wrong? could you please check this? (or anyone else

)

 

[SpaceJump]

Sorry, I would gladly like to help but I'm just not able at the moment...

Small and quick update: Added USB Loader Forwarder.

 

[OSW]

Is it possible, to add some kind of return to loader function (like HBC), where when a program tries to return to the loader, it returns to the forwarder which in turn restarts the system menu.

The point being, to stop programs from code dumping when returning to loader.

Just an idea for if you decide to continue work on the forwarder

I can live without it.

 

[SpaceJump]

I'm still in hospital so I don't really have time to think about it. But it's a good idea nevertheless.

 

[Maurice10]

Can someone make a good looking channel for the USBloader forwarder?

Maybe use following graphic (Author unknown :/)

And a resized version for the thumbnail.
That would be very nice

Edit: Edited out the "Version 1.0" tag out of the pic.

 

[Screemer]

I'm still in hospital so I don't really have time to think about it. But it's a good idea nevertheless.

i am sorry to hear that. i hope you get well soon!

i second the suggestion of adding sdhc support. that would be great.
