Hacking Forwarders are back!

[KTroopA]

I have tried using the StarNight Wiiflow forwarder in post #224, but all i get on clicking it is the crash dump screen below.

does anyone have a working version of this forwarder please for vWii as its my fav.

 

[Madonna]

WIIU USERS - These forwarders won't install properly for you.
Abdallahterro has a Clouds v15 forwarder in his pack but you must install Fix94's first then use a wad manager to install the Clouds forwarder. I hope to update all of these in the near future so you can install them all in the same way as the Clouds forwarder.

Do not delect you forwarder with Fix94's after that install the Cloud forwarder.

No problem for me now to start the Channel.

Hmm if I launch WiiFlow with the Alternative version (by Fix94) channel forwarder I end up with WiiFlow running but with no text, it´s all blank.

Does anyone have a fix for this? I prefere this version over the official one.

somebody then did not properly mod the forwarder obviously, if you have some wad extractor and a hex editor you can just edit its tmd, go to 0x1D8 and change the next 4 bytes to 0x00 00 00 03, save it and repack the wad.

Okay, I´m not familiar with hex editing but I´ll give it a shot!

Nevermind, don´t want to screw anything up, I will choose the official one instead even though it´s not as pretty .

[Klaud]

sorry for my ignorance, I am n00b, but for what I need this? (I mean "forwarders")

 

[Muyfa666]

A forwarder points to a homebrew app on a SD card for example. Instead of installing a new WAD everytime there a update, you install a forwarder once, then update the homebrew on the SD card instead.

The nand on the Wii or vWii should not be written to if you can avoid it. Using forwarders at least minmizes it.

Hi
On wiiflow and plugins
Is "WiiFlowLoaderChannel v2 - WIIH.wad" is compatible with the vWii mode?

Or should I replace the file with the one of 00000001.app tiny-vwii-nand-loader

Can somebody help me convert these two to vwii forwarder. Tried Convert2vWii. Not working, gets just black screen after start. Using latest genplusgx

 

[Bladexdsl]

do any of these forwarders have the 16:9 ratio built into them so don't have to keep going through the hbc? i want to use forwarders...

 

[Cyan]

The ratio problem is caused by the TitleID.
If they are using TitleID used by VC games, it will put the ratio to 4:3.
Only the first letter determines the aspect ration. (HBC is using LULZ -> L is for Sega Master System Virtual Console, It has the ratio set to 4:3 -- USBLoaderGX is UNEO, U is not used and doesn't have the problem)


This thread is only replacing the forwarder's Wii NAND loader to work on vWii, without changing the forwarder's code, so they probably don't have the aspect ratio fixer in their code which wasn't needed on Wii.

 

[Bladexdsl]

so you have to launch everything through the fixed hbc? that sux

 

[Cyan]

HBC is not mandatory, you can go directly from a forwarder channel to the homebrew you want to launch.

System menu -> Channel LULZ "The Homebrew Channel" -> 4:3 -> Tueidj aspect ration fixer -> 16:9 -> HBC -> Homebrew
System menu -> Channel GHBC "The Homebrew Channel Forwarder" from joostinOnline -> 16:9 -> HBC -> Homebrew
System menu -> Channel UNEO "USBLoaderGX forwarder" -> 16:9 -> homebrew
System menu -> Channel from this thread -> 16:9 ! -> homebrew

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, without the need to go to HBC.

i checked all the foewarders i downloaded none of them have any of them letters at beginning so they should be right.

also wad manager 1.7 is ok to use with vwii?

Yep, X is used for MSX games

 

[Cyan]

but also for WiiWare games, which shouldn't be set to 4:3 (unless these WiiWare demo are only for 4:3)

Does only demo WiiWares start with X?

 

[Bladexdsl]

if i install any of the hbc forwarders will they overwrite the channel on the main menu? what do i do with that?
