Hacking Mighty Channels

[Skater4599]

Here is my 11.1 mod adding the first/last page scrolling, display game name on selection, and delete save game data before run option.

It has not been tested because I no longer have a Wii. It should work fine though as the code has not changed. Full source included.

Thanks Yardape, your work is much appreciated

Reformatted the usb drive to one single FAT32 partition an converted my games to .wbfs files to avoid a multi-partition setup. Now it works well.

But how am I supposed to install wads tp the the nand? Crawling inside the TV bench to get the HDD out and connect it to my computer everytime I want to add a game is not an ideal solution. Is it possible to just extract the wad somehow and move the folders inside the virtual nand directory by FTP or similar?

Maybe you could fix this bug so we can log in future betas

First of all thanks for an amazing app

I wondering about the sort function though. It does sort by system, but is it possible to sort them alphabetically?

Hello,

I'm able to run mighty channel with CIOS 17 (base 38) installed on slot 248 but I decided to use last CIOS 21 d2x v4 on slot 251 (base 38) and mighty channel starts but the nand emulation doesn't work anymore :

- I got one game not working : jungle speed
- I got one game reporting NAND corruption : Dr Mario

Back to the use of CIOS 17 solved it.

In both case mighty channel .xml has been updated to launch the proper cios.

Any idea ?

Something I miss on CIOS 21 d2x V4 ?

Remark : I will past that too on d2x thread.

Regards

Olivier

why does my game run so slow anyone can help me?

What game are you refering to and what cIOS are you using with Mighty Channels?

Hi to all... First I need to say thanks to Marc for his great job.

This is a modified version of mighty channels, based on yardape8000 mod. It add a caching system to have an instant start of m.c... On my system, the original version was taking also 15-20 second to browse titles. Too much

I've tested on my wii and works perfectly (for me).

From my notes added to readme_en.txt

stfour notes:

Added a primordial cache system for titles. After first run the file "mighty_cache.dat" is created in the config folder (where mighty_channels.cfg is). The cache file is rebuilted automatically only if titles count changes. To force the rebuild for some reason, simply delete "mighty_cache.dat"

Changes:

v.2
* Corrected a possible bug on title lenght
* Added check on cache file version, so if structure change, cache file will be rebuilded

v.1
* title in gamelist is now a static string. This is to speedup cache operations and simpler code at the expense of little more memory occupation. Actually titles are limited to 32 characters. Longer are simply truncated.
* modified a little how the title is composed
* added __WriteCache / __ReadCache functions
* Fat is mounted before ISFS operations.

If you want give a try, download here

mighty_11.1y_cache2.zip !!! Seems to work only with usb device

Doesn't work for me !
I start it and then it goes directly to a code dump. I Have my games and Mighty Channel running from my SD, could it have something to do with that.

Awesome! am at work now but will def use this when i get home

I'm running homebrew from usb drive... but I doesn't feel that matters. Also if the cache file doesn't exist, mighty channels should work as usual.

Anyway as soon have my wii available (no less than two hour), I will try from sd.

the modded by Yardape8000 works for you ?

mmm.... I think i found the bug...

this should be ok

Doesn't work now either, code dump when starting up Mighty Channel/Games from SD (it code dumps somewhere in the starting process or cashing process, I think).
Yes, Yardape8000 mod works.

 

[stfour]

Before the crash can you see mighty channels interface, saying it is searching for titles or crash as soon as start ?

Also, please check if exist in the sd \config\mighty\mighty_cache.dat. If so, delete it.

 

[stfour]

ok, seen the code dump when running from sd... I will try to check why...

 

[stfour]

Found the problem... and maybe a solution... need some time to fix.

Actually I am quite surprised that works with usb device.

 

[stfour]

Here the new version with sd bug fixed. Now test with my sd (and retested with usb drive

)

changes

v.2bis
* Corrected a bug with SD and cache. It cannot be accessed if nand emulation is active :(.
* Added a message on startup

v.2
* Corrected a possible bug on title lenght
* Added check on cache file version, so if structure change, cache file will be rebuilded

v.1
* title in gamelist is now a static string. This is to speedup cache operations and simpler code at the expense of little more memory occupation. Actually titles are limited to 32 characters. Longer are simply truncated.
* modified a little how the title is composed
* added __WriteCache / __ReadCache functions
* Fat is mounted before ISFS operations. (big ERROR)
