Hacking PaRaDoX Banner's Zone

[mattlouf]

I do not deny that Jay did a nice work here, but I wonder : WHERE IS THE POINT having all these channels on the main wii screen ?

Why not simply install the homebrew launcher channel ? (btw, thank jay for adding a banner to it)

This way :

• It is easier to upgrade by just changing the "boot.elf" in the wanted folder tool, and haven't to wait for someone else to "do the wad with banner" for you
• It is easier to change the image ("banner"), when ever you want : just change the .bmp file in the wanted folder tool
• It take less memory block and leave channel for other VC games for example

Since when do Paradox members post to boards with group info in their nicknames? I highly doubt that this jay guy is part of Paradox. I've met many members of Paradogs on numerous demo scene partys cause most of them participate in 'legal' demoscene activities.
So, Jay, how come you walk around here with your pants down? :>

I have absolutely nothing to do with them. I like this name, and there is no copyright over it, is there?

totally agreed with you !! much more cooler to show on the wii channel !!

I agree with mattlouf, i have one channel which is the loader and all my homebrew can be loaded via that loader.

It saves up space on the wii and looks nice rather than having a million channels.

 

[DaveMode]

I personally can't wait for Genesis emulator.

I'm sure one day I'll have an entire page of channels with custom banners for every emulator I could ever want.. Neo Geo, TG16, Master System, etc.

 

[jayparadox]

Well, some like the Homebrew Launches, others like the Wii Menu full of channels. There aren't any rules on that

Aaaaand, another noob question coming right up:

I'm just confused by the files in the download for the Wii Homebrew Channel. When the .elf file boots, will it install the homebrew channel, or is that just the Wii homebrew launcher? Will I have to install the .wad via the WAD installer to install the channel instead?
Just a little confused as to what's what, and what comes first, and what goes where. Though I think I've pretty much sussed the whole thing out now.

Anyway, will there be Wii64 and Visual Boy Advance channels?

And I wanted to just check whether it's impossible or not to incorporate DVD and SDHC support into the Wii (software-wise, not hardware-wise), as I'm constantly seeing discussions and videos on these things? I assume they're fakes at the moment, but I just wanted to double-check.

On another kinda random note, though it seems a bit pointless, surely the Wii can connect to any bluetooth device (stop me if I'm totally wrong), which would mean it could connect to phones and other devices. I'm sure we could explore the possibilities of it, if it was possible to connect to bluetooth devices.

If you boot up a .elf it will not install anything, it will just show the wii homebrew launcher. You will need to install the .wad via the wad installer to install the channel.

 

[Trolly]

Thanks very much, now I know how I'll get it all installed and such.

 

[bennydigital]

Can the Homebrew Launcher work with the wad installer and uninstaller?
Or do they need to be in root to work?

 

[NL_Patrick_D]

I like having a channel directly in the main menu ... because the old homebre launcher still displayed some command line things. Now i know you can use JayParadox's homebrew channel because it doensnt do so but still i want every user friendly channel (read options which cant screw up things to be avai.lable at the click of a button. and not at the click of more buttons ... get my drift ?

Slightly off topic :

Btw strange to be compared to Team Paradox right JayParadox

Team Paradox is a cracking/hacking team which released the first win vista activation hack which actually worked as well as released a lot of things for adobe products iirc.

 

[skedone]

no paradox was not first to release xp/vista crack that was mark and also paradox has been around since Amiga days get it right they used to be on mushroom net and if you don't know what i mean your to young and not really part of the scene just a leecher

OFF TOPIC :
Could be but theirs (OEM BIOS Emulation Toolkit For Windows Vista x86 v1.0) was the first one to actually work and kill my activation.
As for not knowing thos things makes me a leecher ... ah well .. perhaps I am ... perhaps not.

Paradox also does some fine hacking/cracking for the audio scene, for programs such as Cubase and many VSTis.

[ZombiePosessor]

Sweet! Dude I was seriously thinking "I hope there is a ScummVM channel out soon" Does this support FrontSD loading? What do the games have to be placed in on the SD Card?

 

[badboy08]

Thank you Paradox for the ScummVM Channel it looks great

What is your next Project ?
