Note SYS_POWEROFF_STANDBY

It took him 25 minutes to make a program that initiates a callback? Wow.....

No, the callback stuff there is for hooking the power/wiimote buttons. This program is a one-liner:
CODE

SYS_ResetSystem(SYS_POWEROFF_STANDBY, 0, 0);

Functionally, anyway. I haven't run it myself, for all I know it uses the magic of nested functions to play MP3s as it shuts down.

couldnt this be added as a priiloader hack?

wow man thats cutting edge stuff, so when should we expect your usb Gc loader?

Dont give the man a hard time. He made something out of his own time and learned something by it and wanted to share to anyone who might find it useful. I have seen apps like this a few times before, but who cares. This person is trying to learn and we certainly need more coders in this community, even if they do start out shallow.

I'm sure you all gonna bitch at me when I make my first .dol that display's "hello world" (compiled using the example source code), but fuck any one else because I learned something and it worked.

woa! dude is that really you!

Isn't it easier to go to the options and disable the standby connection?

Seems like the obvious thing to me - why the need for a third party app to do what is already included in the system menu?

Disabling the standby connection also disables the News Channel, Weather Channel, Nintendo Channel, Shop Channel, etc.
If you use this program, it disables the standby connection while allowing access to those channels.

Ah. Fair enough.

Useless

I AM ON TEH INTERWEBZ AND I HAS AN OPINION! ROAAAARRRRZZZZ!!!



But seriously: I prefer apps that don't do much (or even anything) over people complaining about it any day.


So thumbs up, calthephenom. Good to hear you've found your way to coding.

I think good on him, as a.ready stated, at least hes trying to do something that benefits other people. The people who look stupid are those criticizing him, whether they find the app useful or not.

Keep up the good efforts, buddy, and ignore the sad ppl who trawl these forums looking for others to put down, they think it makes them look cool or something. Odd I know, but perhaps they have nothing else in their lives to pursue, idk.

My 2 cents .. (On a sidenote I wonder if more than one of them have ever contributed anything to the scene, themselves.)

The app is called "Paranoia", supposedly designed for people who are scared nintendo will sneakily update their wii without telling them.

The main function of the app can be done with one line of code, yet the compiled program is over 1MB in size. There are some very strange strings in it, including the IP address of wiindows.info (full list is here). Source code is not available, despite several other GPL apps being incorporated.

I hope this helps explain why people are being critical.

just thurn off wiiconnect off in your settings on your wii and it will be "off" after you turn it off !! You don't have to sit down to do this.. just press the power button on the wiimote and it's off..
waste of time this program..

So, let me get this straight... after running an application named Paranoia on my Wii I am left wondering OMGWTF IS HAPPENIN ON MAH WII?!?!?!

I'm afraid to ask this in fear of having my head be chewed off by the people here, but here it goes anyways...

So this allows for WC24 to be on just enough for Weather/News to update while the system is off? I do personally use the weather channel almost daily, a lot quicker to get it that way than to wait for my computer to turn on, and on the internet, or wait for the news to change to the weather.

Either way, great job on having the nerves to post an app on this site, I now know I will never post any sort of app on this site, even if it can print money, I'd rather keep it to myself...

And who gives a rip if this is only a one liner, its a lot better than just having "Hello World" being printed, this one at least does something, and this is the first time I saw anything like this.

*FLAME SHIELD UP*

i think the problem is that it should be a one liner, but it's over 1 MB in size

what the hell is this program doing to my wii?

 

[w!!]

Does this keep power on to the USB ports? I have a charger on them and when I disable the standby mode, it cuts power to the usb ports...

 

[BobTheJoeBob]

Nice app and all but Nintendo can't update your console without you agreeing to the terms and conditions.

 

[Szalkow]

I would think that for this app to be most convenient it should be installed as a channel on the System Menu. Would anyone be willing to make a channel (with a fairly nice-looking banner) for this?

 

[DunkrWunkah]

This could come in useful sometime.

first, i would like to say thanks to the people not being arrogant douches, secondly

i just used Wiindows source, and threw out all the wiindows stuff, and added the paranoia banner and shutdown.
i was having trouble with libPNG.
anyone want the source?


int awesome() {
printf("\x1b[%d;%dH", 2, 3 );
printf("Powering Off In 3...");
sleep(1);
printf("2...");
sleep(1);
printf("1...");
sleep(1);
WPAD_Shutdown();
STM_ShutdownToStandby();
}
#include "awesomeness_png.h"
int loadAwesomeness () {
PNGUPROP awesomeness;
IMGCTX ctx;

if (!(ctx = PNGU_SelectImageFromBuffer (awesomeness_png)))
return -1;
if (PNGU_GetImageProperties (ctx, &awesomeness) != PNGU_OK)
return -1;
if (PNGU_DecodeToYCbYCr (ctx, awesomeness.imgWidth, awesomeness.imgHeight, xfb, 640 - awesomeness.imgWidth) != PNGU_OK)
return -1;

return 1;
}
ClearScreen();
loadAwesomeness();
awesome();
sleep(10);

i'll start working on it.
itll be up around 7PM EST

this app should play the song "Whirlwind" by Transatlantic before shutting down
