roku93... If I send you the REAL WiiRadio logo, will you update your splash screen to match it, please?

Thanks!

What do you mean the real logo? Go ahead, I'll look at it.

Hi, when loading any of the forwarder ISOs, i just get a black screen... can anyone help me with this please? I have the apps saved in the correct directories on my sd card (and usb for that matter). Forwarder channels via the sys menu work fine. I am running 4.2U and 1.06HBC.
QUOTE(pepxl @ Oct 22 2009, 01:26 AM) try forcing PAL or NTSC video modes

still can't get it to work, can u tell me exactly what I need to do (using usb loader gx) I would really appreciate it!!

ah that'll be why, GX has a problem loading these for some reason you may have to use wiiflow or CFG

 

[SpaceJump]

spayrosam, which source do you use to create the Forwarders? Can you post a link to it?

 

[giantpune]

i said it a few pages back, but i guess some people missed it... i believe the reason these wont boot in GX is because of the entrypoint of the dol. it is the same reason that GX cant load some homebrew, and probably why the GX forwarder dol doesn't work with the new preloader. you will just have to change the entrypoint in the makefile if you are making these to boot in GX.

I have just add a opening.bnr to mario 64 iso forwarder, and as i suppoused configurable usbloader (v0.45) load music without problem.

You want on-topic? How about I hate to be the one to inform you but it's possible much of the 'work' you've done with regards to djbubba's uploads will soon most likely be deleted because it appears that many of the covers are indeed customs and WiiTDB is working to remove customs.

I knew that for 4 weeks ago ,,,, Now I only Upload retial covers.. I didnt know they dont take homemade ones ....back then ...

any chance of explaining how to do that? I'm not a noob, just don't know much about compiling source code, but I can follow instructions damn well! If not, thanks for your explanation anyways.

Has anyone any ideas why snes9x emulator cant find my USB drive, if i load the emulator through the HBC it finds my USB drive without any problems. Any ideas why this happens???

I pointed that out a long time ago. No one seems to know or care. When loading tantric's emulators from these ISOs, they will not read your configuration file. Regardless if your forwarder is loading it from USB or SD. My work-around solution is to place my roms & save files in the default locations snes9x expects them (sdcard roms\ and saves\). Which defeats the whole purpose of having a fat partition on my USB, admittedly, but since I'm usually only actively playing one rom at a time, it gets the job done.

I'm not sure whether it's the fault of the forwarder or the emulators, but ya.. methinks the few of us who notice the problem are screwed.

Here you have everything to create an iso for homebrew

Here is all you need to create Wiiware and VC forwarder
many thanks to giantpune

CODE//super complicated channel loader- giantpune
#include
#include
#include
#include

#define TITLE_ID(x,y) (((u64)(x) viTVMode&VI_NON_INTERLACE) VIDEO_WaitVSync();

//if you want to put a splash screen, put it here, but it will just be a waste of time. the splash in the forwarder
//is only showed while loading dols into memory, this would be shown before the channel even started to load
//so i wouldn't do it.

WII_Initialize();
//just change the 4A4F4449 to the hex value for the ID4 of the title to boot.
//all channels that show up on the system menu should be 00010001
WII_LaunchTitle(TITLE_ID(0x00010001,0x4A4F4449));

//should not reach this point if the title is installed on the wii, but if it does, it will fall back on a stub to direct it
//if using a newer version of libogc, exit(0) returns the system menu if no stub is found.
exit (0);

//really, really should never make it this far. if it does, the wii will just blackscreen and need a hard reset
return 0;
}


Enjoy

please uploads your ISOs here..

if i were to figure out the above files and make my own iso's... would they work with usb loader gx?

edit: wow I wrote that when I was still a noob using usbloader gx *hangs head in shame* lol

 

[vettacossx]

Im sure its the forwarders or in this case the ISO's, as i have the same version snes9x emulator which i load from the HBC and that finds my USB drive without any problems, funny thing is that the emulator is on my USB drive in the first place so it must be able to detect the USB drive otherwise it would load the emulator in the first place

spayrosam: Do you think you could look into making a version of triiforce which would autoboot a title from emulated nand? I would really appreciate that.. I could do some general splashes for like wiiware, n64, etc.

The image that you used is a little out of proportion.

It works fine for me, loads snes9X from USB://Apps/Snes9X/boot.dol and pulls a list of roms from USB://Snes9X/Roms
The first time I booted it checked the SD Card, but after I changed the load folder in snes9X settings and pointed it to the USB folder it works fine.

I've tested with the 4.0.9, as well as 4.1.2 of snes9x, and two seperate versions of gbagx. I've tested with the configuration file placed in USB://apps/snes9x/ AND SD://apps/snes9x/ I've had a configuration file placed in BOTH locations. I've tried having the forwarder hit just SD, I've had the forwarder hit just USB, and I've had it hit whatever it attempts to load first. In all cases the configuration file for the emulator is NOT read. It's as if the emulator cannot locate the configuration file. Without changing anything and merely rebooting into HBC I can load the emulators directly and they immediately pick up the proper configuration.

What launcher are you using? I've only tested under Wiiflow. My niave assumption is that the emulators look in the directory they were loaded from for the configuration file. Due to the way the forwarder is launching them they are either attempting to use a directory that simply does not exist, or perhaps they are not passed the argument(?).

And could you tell me what is the font you're using on the logo? I could get a bit higher quality on it by simply rewriting it.

It is Century Gothic, but to get the effect I wanted, I had to adjust the character palette, in Photoshop (see image below).
