I know wads are tough but could someone help me with this?

I noticed that the wiiflow channel configurator installs some hidden wads to help with stuff

Its not a hidden wad but a hidden channel packed in a wad. Within the wiis nand is a titles folder. Within that is a folder named 00010001. Thats where channels are installed. But hidden channels are installed in 00010008 folder. The wiiflow channel installer simply installs the hidden forwarder channel in 00010008.

Is it possible to hide a channel in wii mod lite? or should I just move a channel manually?

i'm not sure about either one. I'm not sure you can simply move a channel from 00010001 to 00010008 because there should be a ticket in the tickets folder tied that channel. maybe someone with more knowledge on this will answer.

just curious why do you want to hide a channel anyway?

ok so I'm assuming you downloaded and installed one of the hacksden joostinonline colored forwarder channels.you can't hide the HBC. you can't move it to the 00010008 folder to hide it. because the ratio fix forwarder is not the actual homebrew channel. its a forwarder app that launches the hbc with aspect ratio fix. but it looks for the hbc in 00010001 not 00010008.

    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.

    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz

    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
