Homebrew Official Homebrew Launcher for WiiU

[Deleted User]

It COULD run, but it'll probably be uncontrollable.
But it requires Wii hardware, so..

How do you put a custom background music?

How do you put a custom background music?

Get homebrew launcher source
Replace the bgMusic.ogg file by a another bgMusic.ogg or bgMusic.mp3
Build homebrew launcher

No, there's no need to "build" anything.
From official github release note:

• allow MP3 and WAV background musics (file has to be located at and called "homebrew_launcher/resources/bgMusic.ogg" for now even if its not an OGG file)

Works for me by the way.

If you want to get fancy though, you can modify the source to use a settings file like Loadiine uses, and then you can call the file anything you want and have it in any folder you want. I don't think they bothered with a settings file though, since changing the background music location would be the only thing needed in the settings file.

I want to edit the source files to match the colors of the classic HBC Wii theme (light boxes with dark text). But I don't understand the GX2 color definitions. I know, there are values for RGB and Alpha channels. Which line I have to edit to get black text? Maybe this lines in GuiText.cpp?

void GuiText::setPresets(int sz, const glm::vec4 & c, int w, int a)
{
    presetSize = sz;
    presetColor = (GX2ColorF32) { (f32)c.r / 255.0f, (f32)c.g / 255.0f, (f32)c.b / 255.0f, (f32)c.a / 255.0f };
    presetMaxWidth = w;
    presetAlignment = a;
}

Thanks!

When I launch the webserver locally my wiiu freezes. When I use wiiubru.com it launches fine.
What am I doing wrong?

 

[RandomUser]

At the risk of sounding noobish, is it possible to have pro controller support with this launcher? Maybe with libwupc?

 

[Jaime Hilaire]

Is it possible to use Nintendont with the Homebrew launcher to play gamecube games?

 

[KiiWii]

Is it possible to use Nintendont with the Homebrew launcher to play gamecube games?

Nope. You need to mod vWii to use nintendont.

Edit: but it would be handy to have a forwarder to vWii that auto launched nintendont.... No idea if that's possible.

Alright thanks, I'm ordering an SD card this Friday so I can mod the vWii

Make sure it's 2GB or less, otherwise you need to use a special program that makes devices think there is only 2GB total on the SD card

Oddly I cannot get this to work, forgive me.. I have the elf in SD:/wiiu/apps/homebrew_launcher/homebrew_launcher.elf
I visit a web-hosted site and the wii u locks up after running a file. It always freezes on the screen with the WiiU logo in the bottom right and the music is frozen on one note. Any advice? thanks

(ps tried a different SD card also)

What firmware version is your Wii U. Do you have the latest version of the homebrew launcher, are you self hosting or not. What you can try is going to your internet browser settings and delete cookies and reset save data.

Thank you.

Yes the latest elf from the github. Not self-hosting. I will reset the browser now, I actually reset the entire console just now, but ill try the cookies again. Thanks for reply.

Is the gamecube controller/adapter supported in Loadiine? I did activate the HID option, but my Wavebird didn't respond.
