Hacking Need a compiled HBC open-source vWii channel

[CatmanFan]

Does anyone have a compiled vWii 16:9 forwarder channel made from the open-source HBC github?

Marcan fixed the TMD, so that the channel now uses IOS 58 again. Compiled version is attached.

I have it installed on my vWii and it works perfectly, no bricks.

Does it replace the old one? I already have the homebrew launcher installed, if this doesn't overwrite it then can I safely delete the older one?

It doesn't replace the old HBC. Also, you need to keep the old HBC on your vWii, because the new forwarder channel requires the old HBC to work. You can install the new HBC forwarder without replacing the old one, because the new forwarder uses a different title ID. Just don't delete the old HBC.

Are you sure it's a forwarder? I already have a forwarder 16:9 on my vwii that nothing new, I thought this was supposed to be the actual homebrew channel just in 16:9 no forwarder

It is a forwarder, which exactly looks like the old HBC. Since it doesn't have any custom color, you should have more difficulty telling them apart though.

Um... you do realize it's the old source code with a widescreen patch, correct? It's not a forwarder...

But my point is, it's not a forwarder. You can delete the old HBC and still use the new compiled one perfectly fine

The new title ID doesn't mean anything. The title ID was what was broken and caused the 4:3 ratio. It isn't a forwarder, but you'll need a WAD manager to install it, which mean you'll need an exploitable game or system menu.

please tell me how to compile this, I get errors. The README tells me to make wiipax and then make the channel (make meaning compile using instructions from the makefile) When compiling wiipax, I get this error:

"/bin/sh: gcc: command not found
make[1]: *** [LzFind.o] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory `/c/Users/taimu/Desktop/hbc-master/wiipa...
"make": *** [all] Error 2"

The Readme also says "You'll need the Wii common key installed as ~/.wii/common-key."

HOW DO I DO THAT AND WHAT DOES THAT MEAN!!!

Oh, and by the way, I'm a noob so don't start yelling something like 'YOU"RE A F*CKING IDIOT!' because it won't answer my question.
