Hacking POC Launcher

[st0rax]

I don't know weather it was asked before, but sourcecode wasn't released, or? It would be very nice if you could send me the code WiiCrazy... I have a few problems with coding, so I need the "masters" help

Hope you understand lol

if it isn't "releaseable" for any reason - tell me. i'm not angry with you ^^

WHat is the best resolution for POC cause I make health screens using GIMP and I make them 600x456 for people using POC. I post them on Wadder...

//EDIT: Nevermind, seems like it really is 600x456. THe reason I was asking this is that I was still reading that people had offset imgaes when using 600x456...

 

[buby78]

640x456

Can I afford to offer you a video I made and can be included in a future video demonstration?

Of course, why not... if it isn't a I'm a pirate type of video then it's ok

I can't access the link now so I can't comment further...

Yeah it's asked

Source code is simple actually, as I previously said any homebrew coder out there can make it in a few hours... I'm not planning to release it until I put some more code into it of my own... There is already plenty of stuff with sources ready to be torn apart and glued back

Thank you very much

, not do not fear for the video ^ ^ keep us informed for future release

 

[st0rax]

yeah, thanks for your reply WiiCrazy. I think I'll have to learn more C Coding lol

ok ive been messing with different sizes and if im correct WiiCrazy is using 576i this explains why 640x480 works for him.
other users using EDTV or 480i 640 x 456 is the best size.

WiiCrazy not sure if you've seen this but it may fix your side bars

Add the widescreen support in your homebrew. The widescreen support is used to remove the black vertical bars on television 16/9 or HDTV. You just have to put this code while initializing the video mode.

#include < ogc/conf.h>

/* Widescreen patch by CashMan's Productions (http://www.CashMan-Productions.fr.nf) */
if (CONF_GetAspectRatio() == CONF_ASPECT_16_9)
{
rmode->viWidth = 678;
rmode->viXOrigin = (VI_MAX_WIDTH_NTSC - 678)/2;
}

Example of use with GRRLIB 3.0

* Add in GRRLIB.h

#include < ogc/conf.h>

* Add in GRRLIB.c, in the GRRLIB_InitVideo function

void GRRLIB_InitVideo () {

[...]

rmode = VIDEO_GetPreferredMode(NULL);

/* Widescreen patch by CashMan's Productions (http://www.CashMan-Productions.fr.nf) */
if (CONF_GetAspectRatio() == CONF_ASPECT_16_9)
{
rmode->viWidth = 678;
rmode->viXOrigin = (VI_MAX_WIDTH_NTSC - 678)/2;
}

xfb[0] = (u32 *)MEM_K0_TO_K1(SYS_AllocateFramebuffer(rmode));

xfb[1] = (u32 *)MEM_K0_TO_K1(SYS_AllocateFramebuffer(rmode));

[...]

}

this doesn't work for me,

The only step that doesn't work is the part where i have to configure it to autoboot?

I have crazyintro.dol in the root of my sd card, then i went to preloader and set the autoboot to systemmenu and return to preloader.

It doesn't work, I even installed the file and it still doesn't work...

Am i doing something wrong?

 

[buby78]

did you install the .dol in preloader?did you set autoboot to file? did you name your pic and mp3 to boot?

 

[WhiteWingedKnigh]

First I installed the dol and then set autoboot to file and named the mp3 and pic to boot.

What then? Do i just restart the wii or what?

 

[buby78]

yes just restart

 

[WhiteWingedKnigh]

okay im gonna try it now...

 

[WhiteWingedKnigh]

says no such file directory...

After i did what you said, i couldn't EXACTLY restart, so i just powered off and back on.

 

[buby78]

pic is jpeg? did you named it boot? just boot and the same with mp3? are they in root of sd card or usb? yes you could put the two boot files in usb.

 

[WhiteWingedKnigh]

Yep and i just named it boot.jpg and the mp3 is boot.mp3

 

[D-Jay]

Resolution of your image?

Should be 640x456px

 

[WhiteWingedKnigh]

its at 608x456, is that why?

 

[D-Jay]

Should be ok. Otherwise, try another resolution.

The mp3 should not be longer than 1min.

Did you try several mp3s?

Did you set "autoboot=file"?

 

[buby78]

just name it boot not boot.mp3 or boot jpg.

 

[WhiteWingedKnigh]

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?
