Hacking POC Launcher

[buby78]

yes D-Jay, and for buby78, I don't get what you mean just name it to boot. You want me to name them both boot, or just one of them?

yes both of them and put them in root of sd or usb.
the reason you got the "no such file directory" is the program is looking for the boot not boot.whatever.

[WhiteWingedKnigh]

EDIT: Do videos work also? or is that still in progress?

Hey WiiCrazy? What's the image size of the .jpg file have to be? I have 500 pixels by 500 pixels and I get an error. 300X300 works but it doesn't cover the entire screen. Thanks for any help.

wiicrazy are you going to release the .avi support?

 

[WiiCrazy]

Did some config work today, made it configurable from an xml file... You can use directional buttons to quickly access channels... left, right, up, down each configurable to a specific channel... Example config file provided in the release... check the initial message of the topic...


ps1: Mods, could you please change the topic's title to CrazyIntro?

ps2: Next will come the picture effects and hopefully movie stuff, hang on...

ps3: Thought 4 selected channels to boot from is enough, theoretically I have 4 more buttons so I can make them configurable if needed...

Awesome... If I'm understanding correctly I can set the disc channel to a shortcut, press the button and it will launch my game? Not just open the channel and wait for me to hit start?

Is it possible to have one set as default to the disc channel? That would be rather nice.

Updating from v.02 to v.03.
I've been waiting to see the next step for this and I like! "MORE" control of how Mii Wii boots up.

Well not exactly, you can only configure installed channel titles... those starting with 00010001... (wiiware, vc, custom channels)
but I'll test if disc channel can be launched that way...

 

[buby78]

good shit!!! i just tried this its pretty cool!!! cant wait for your next release

GOOD WORK WiiCrazy

 

[WiiCrazy]

Hmm direct game launching needs much more than channel launching... actually you can have it through a channel that autoboots games... right?

Though there exist source code for the job...(nice one in the wiimu)
including that in my app may not be a wise choice... since issues of that code along with the functionality will creep into my code...

So Any Title Deleter or Any Title Lister will show me my channels title_id that I have installed am I correct?

Yeah you can use both...
