Homebrew New Universal Forwarder

[krog]

if this works with Preloader then i think i just got GRUB

need a small apploader as default.dol that loads sysmenu on default.dol

a = usb loader
b = media (i.e. Geexbox/Mplayer_ce

need to mess around i think

great WiiPower

exactly what I thought... as you say, an option to load the sysmenu would be perfect.

i'm not sure how you call the system menu, maybe you know WiiPower

this could be amazing.

Confirmation for the following would be nice:
1. Does this switch to 480i display on hdtvs? I know some forwarders do that, but i hope this one doesn't because it doesn't display anything.
2. If integrated into a channel, do the most used usb loaders actually work with this?

Sorry, i have no idea how to do that if preloader is installed. I'm still on starfall and have no intention to change that, because preloader doesn't offer me any advantages.

added a couple more things.....
3. Does it code dump if a nunchuck is connected?
4. Do SDHC cards work with this?

I've got preloader etc, and will test out what's what tommorow if no one gets around to it before me.

Please anyone that finds any problem with any app post here too EG if Mplayer codedumps with nunchuck, but not another app etc.
I will have time over the next few days to help fix some bugs, and maybe type up a short guide with any info gathered in this thread to save WiiPower needing to keep searching through multiple posts.

If anyone has a problem with a USB loader, remember to include lots of details, system details, what loader, what revision and also what cIOS your using is it 9, or 10. Make sure to post if the USB loader was working before (dont post it didn't work, if you didn't already have it working)

If anyone is good with art stuff then maybe they could make a blankish banner with the buttons and leave space for people to add the names of the apps they choose so we can all add a bit of customisation, I would but I think the kids would do better with a crayon

@WiiPower

Could you add function for more buttons - nunchuck's C and Z ?

Thanks for your cool forwarder....!!!

Greetings.

Speaking of more buttons, could support for Gamecube Controllers be added?

That should be easy to do, it's
WPAD_NUNCHUK_BUTTON_Z
and
WPAD_NUNCHUK_BUTTON_C
what you need to insert.

I don't plan to integrate this, because i like simple and clean solutions. And Wiimote only is more general use to me, especially if someone makes some arts.

Hi ! :° Great job.

Someone can make a Forwarder channel please?

@WiiPower
I was looking at the code but I don't know C that well... (I could do it if it was VB

)
Couldn't you make it read a file in the forwarder folder were you could identify which folder to look in

It's actually pretty easy to do little changes, if you know any programming language. Open the main.c, search for the other button presses, and you will see what changes you need to do.

 

[sleeepy2]

Yeah I saw where you would do it in the switch case but I wasn't sure about the mounting the sd to read the file (also not sure how you would parse the file in C). then unmount the sd once you read the file then mount it again to run the correct dol?

I see, Thanks

One more question.

How I can edit all buttons in different folders?

For example,
for A button SD:/a/a.dol
for B button SD:/b/b.dol
.
.
.

Btw, awesome work WiiPower...!!

This is better. As some homebrew (e.g. loader) need a config file together with it, but which may have the same name for different loaders.

If you use a line like this:
snprintf(filename, 128, "sd:/a/a.dol");
instead of the ones in the code.

Under which license is your code? I'm almost sure parts of it are from GPL v2 projects, so it's GPL v2?
