are you saying that this boot.dol can somehow be used to construct an individual GC game shortcut to the wii sysmenu?

Yep, if you look into the source, especially the main.c, you'll see a line:

static const char ID[6] = "GZLP01";

Means in short it will give DML the ID GZLP01 which should be booted. You can change that to what you want, let's say you have the game in "sd:/games/[GM4P01] Mario Kart Double Dash!", then you need to change that line in the main.c to:

static const char ID[32] = "[GM4P01] Mario Kart Double Dash!";

You see the [6] and the [32] just say how many characters the ID is long. If you replaced the ID with the one you want you can simply compile it and inject it in a regular channel, if you start this channel your game boots.
Also you need to replace the line

fwrite(ID, 1, 6, f);

With the length, so that would be

fwrite(ID, 1, 32, f);

In this example

I injected this forwarder into a wad which acts like the Disc Channel, when a NGC is inserted into the disc drive and until I started to read this thread properly, I didn't realise it was "game-specific".

How else should it be? Gimme a idea what you want

Okay, okay, How about making a wad forwarder? all this is complicated.

So you want a wad which just starts a game right?

Yeah, a wad channel. that boots the game from a loader.

 

[FIX94]

Yeah, a wad channel. that boots the game from a loader.

How this channel should look like in your opinion? With the source I posted above you have the loader, now you just need a channel

thanx for the pointers on the code - just tried dols for Windwaker (default), Luigis Mansion and Doshin and all launched flawless via HBC
gotta get busy now with graphics to knock some channels together

Just made a v2 of it

That makes things easier, you just need to edit the defines.h now with the options you want, you can even control DML now.

...What's new in it? it's the same thing.

And i can't edit files.

Thanks anyway.

Why you cant edit files? Just get the devkitpro installer, install everything from devkitppc in it and make the source.
