Forwarders are back!

If the forwarder's ID starts with one of these letter E, F, J, L, M, N, P, Q and maybe X, use a Wad editor to change the TitleID, and it will launch in 16:9 (otehrwise it will run in 4:3), without the need to go to HBC [Note by Cyan].

THANK YOU FIX94 !
Thanks to realfolkblues for the emulator forwarders !

EDIT: it will be a good idea to put new vWii forwarders in this thread !

 

Fantastic news.
Thanks a lot for all your hard work.

 

Great work Thank You.

 

In what thread?

 

he says, "in that thread..."

what thread? there are no threads posted... just asking him to clarify, chief... no harm in that...

 

New WiiMC Channel Forwarder fo vWii !
(the official original one extracted as WAD from my Real Wii nand using ShowMiiWads and then repacked as FIX94 says ! Works like a charm !).

Tested with boot.dol in SD :\apps\wiimc

 

appreciate it. i am going to try to do the usbloadergx and wiiflow channels now.

thanks for the app, fix... really simple to use...

 

USB Loader GX forwarder for those that want it.


*removed link*

 

I'm curious; care to offer any explanation as to what prevented old NAND loaders from working, what had to be changed, how you figured it out etc.? (Of course, it's not overly important that you do, I just like reading about that sort of thing)

 

cool, just want to verify that these channels are working flawlessly on vWii for anyone that was hesitant on installing them...

 

The file you linked is wrong.

The Title ID you used (ULNR) should be UNLR (maybe it's just a typo?)
And UNLR is the TitleID of the FULL channel, not the forwarder. If you used the Full channel as base, it will not work (it will install v3.0 to user's vWii instead of the forwarder)

The Forwarder TitleID for USBLoaderGX is UNEO.


Anyway, thanks for making it

If you really want to release the updated full channel too, don't mix them and correctly tell the user which is the forwarder and which is the full channel with (old) v3.0

 

works just fine for me... i have done 5 system reboots and loaded each channel at least ten times. even went ahead and updated finally and everything is still working great!

 

You're awesome :]

Thanks for your work - I'm gonna check for sure!

Edit: Yay, HBF channel now works in vWii

 

Sorry didn't realize.

That will explain why USBLoaderGX seems to have gained some more features since I was using it through HBC yesterday.

 

WiiXplorer Channel Forwarder for vWii !
(this version is a repack of 2 forwarders - works like a charm !)

Tested with boot.dol in SD :\apps\wiiexplorer

 

sorry for noob question guys,but i downloaded earlier from here a forwarder for wiiflow.have not yet installed it.was wondering after i install the wad do i have to have any thing on the sd card as i have been reading through this post and all i am seeing is info about boot.dol.when i had a channel on the wii all i done was install a channel wad and that was it?

 

So you need a noob-proof answer

No, you also need the app on your forwarder-pointed-folders (usually SD :\apps\appname\boot.dol but can vary depending on who produces the forwarder).

A Forwarding Channel is a Channel that points to a .dol file in a specific location (the forwarder can be programmed to search the application .dol in various folders, even in USB folders). Channels (not forwarding channels) insted are apps that are installed inside nand (or emulated nand) and do not require a .dol somewhere, all they need is inside the Channel; so now you know the difference between a Channel and a Forwarding Channel (both are Wii or vWii dash channels but they work differently).

For Fix94 WiiFlow forwarder you need to have the WiiFlow homebrew (boot.dol) installed on your SD :\apps\wiiflow.dol (dunno if other locations are good but this one is tested and working!).
