[moose94]

[maduin]

What do I do with iso's I can't open with Wiiscrubber?

 

[nicksasa]

you can open all legit wii iso's with wiiscrubber 1.4 ,)

....Ok, this is like YAL but its faster, uses ios 249 and works better with channels
its just a verry stripped down verison of usb loader 1.1

Could you patch it to force 480i-PAL ?

saw the dol on the forum but unable to locate corresponding code/diffs to apply to this tripped source.

Well it was not released with the binary release, I guess they are released after 1-2 days or I completely missed.. nevermind...

for those who can't compile the source, just unpack one of the already-made wads and edit the game ID and booting message from 0000001.app in hex editor. It works for me but I only have 1 game to test. Also I didn't need to modify the opening.bnr, I just extract it from ISO and pack it up and it shows up correctly in channel.

Can anyone lead me in the direction of a good guide on how to dump retail games? I'm trying to dump MdWorld ia USB on Wanin's DVD Dumper but I'm getting errors.

Working for me... but I made a little mistake... I made a Mario Kart channel that starts Wii Sports...

Oooh, this looks good.
I'll try out the Brawl one, and if that works I'll see if I can make a MadWorld one.
I'm not re-making all the YAL channels I have that work, but I might use this from now on if it turns out good.

Edit: Brawl cannel didn't work for me.
Just shows:
[+] Boot SUper Smash Bros. Brawl...
Press and button to restart...

And when I press any button, it just restarts back to the System Menu.

 

[skawo96]

Yep this works. I made Super Paper Mario channel. I also removed the text, so it doesn't show "Booting bla bla bla"...

 

[boobooman]

Whats the best hex editor to use?

Do you just open the 00000001.app delete the id then save?

 

[WiiBlaster]

Hello all,
I have been a "Guest" in this forum for some time and thought I would start getting involved.......

This is an very interesting addition to USB loading !!!
The work the major players in the scene have done on the USB Loader is mind blowing and I have nothing but respect.

However, I find the USB loading interface is not quite pretty enough ........... The channel solution completes the package for me !!
Thus I want to start developing my own visually pleasing channels !!

I consider myself an able programer, this evening I have installed the devkit and compiled & run the standard "Hello World" app on the target ...... wow I here you gasp!

However editing the source from this post has me stumped.
I am running OS X so am experimenting with XCode and having nothing but problems.
I am interested to know what compilers / development environments the people have succeeded are using ??
any recommendations ??

Thanks
D

How did you remove it? And can you maybe upload some of those without the text?

Thanks!

Just open your hex editor, search for "Booting"...then just fill the "Booting XXXXXXXXXXX..." with spaces.
