yet another addition:

I didn't like that the config file has to be in the root folder of the sd card (I prefer the wiiu/apps/hbc2hbl/ folder) so I added the possibilty to use either
/sd/hbl2hbc.txt
or
/sd/wiiu/apps/hbl2hbc/hbl2hbc.txt
or
/sd/wiiu/apps/hbl2hbc.txt (dont use this location. just added this because elf file could also launched from here)

Simple solution to let this work with the standard USB Loader GX fowarder channel is deleting the ELF fle in: E:\wiiu\apps\hbl2ULGX and than copying this file renaming it to: hbl2ULGX.elf.

Add the config file with: UNEO=USB Loader GX on the first line.

(for me the file only worked when placed in root although I used the new multiple config version)

does the menu show up with only 1 entry ?
I tested myself and didnt encounter that issue, if only one TitleID is present in config.txt the title is booted automatically (hbl2hbc.txt in sd:/wiiu/apps/hbl2hbc)

hbl2hbc.txt looks like this:
Code:
UNEO=USB Loader GX
WIIU_GAMEPAD_DISPLAY=OFF

Hi, Mive. Is it possible to set an order to the list that comes out to select homebrew if hbl2hbc.txt has more than one homebrew to launch to?
I have Homebrew launcher channel, USB Loader GX, Nintendont on my settings and I would like to have USB Loader GX tob e on the spot 1 so I can just press A to launch it. But default selection is always on Homebrew Launcher and USB Loader GX on 2nd spot, So I have to press down and then A.

hbl2hbc.txt is read line by line without any sorting.
to show usb loader gx above homebrew channel just put UNEO=USB Loader GX line above LULZ=Homebrew Channel

Hey just wondering if it's possible to make it so that it automatically sets the vWii modes aspect ratio to 4:3 when booting, as well as 480p?

First of all a big thanks to all the developers here. Fantastic work.
One question to @mive:
Which elf file would I have to take to get 1080 resolution, the option to put the hbl2hbc.text in the sd:/wiiu/apps/hbl2hbc folder?

In the txt file I would use:
WWND=Nintendont
WIIU_GAMEPAD_DISPLAY=OFF

I want to achieve that I dont have to use the Wii Mote anymore and play directly with the Wii U Controller Pro.
On top is it actually possible to have also a picture showing for the elf file ind the Homebrew Launcher?
Can I use the WiiU2HBC Forwarder Channel with this to have the full expereince?
Thank you

@mive, one question slso to all the different files you provided for different resolutions and location of the txt file. Did you build them on top of each other or are these all modifications starting from the original version from Fix94?

the last ones posted are all the same except resolution, so for 1080p you need this one
https://gbatemp.net/threads/hbl2hbc-v1-1-boot-from-wiiu-hbl-into-vwii-hbc.455673/post-9474467

yes you can use the forwarder channel (the forwarder starts sd:/wiiu/apps/hbl2hbc/hbl2hbc.elf)
it should be possible to use a picture like other apps. just use a png with correct size (256x96. see other apps which inlcude a picture). Although, I'm not sure if you then need also a meta.xml (probably not)

Fantastic. Thanks a lot. Works like a charm now.
The only thing I have to figure out is how you can go back to Nintendont while playing a game with Wii U Pro Controller. Unfortuantely there seems to be only a key combination for the GC Controller incukding the Z button. But the Wii U Por Controller doesn't have a Z button. Anyone knows a workaround? It is really annoying to shut off the Wii U manually and restart it just to play another game via Nintendont.

you can do so with usb loader gx, perhaps other loaders. getting out of a game with nintendont will reboot the loader. if you do it on the wii u side, it will reboot the system, since you're in vwii mode.

That is too bad. How come you cannot retunr back to Nintendont in vWii mode when palying a game?

Thank you Mive and godreborn,
that is great. Will try it out tomorrow.

And a very last question. IS there also a hbl2hbc entry for Not64? That would make it complete for the Nintendo world.

if you find a vwii forwarder channel for not64 you can add its id to config file. But I dont know if such forwarder exists (probably yes)

dont think so, probably depends on how your tv handles a 1080p signal (I think you just get a black screen but not sure).
use the 720p one in that case.

Also want to mention, if you dont need/want any screen resolution changes and dont want to bother with wiiu gamepad display you can use the "regular" hbl2hbc version

is there any chance for your mod without resolution switch but with updated config file support ?

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her.

So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:

    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
