Hacking POC Launcher

[WiiCrazy]

wow thats gr8 to hear bro! sounds like (as per usual) your already a step ahead of our thoughts and ponderings! very impressive wiicrazy and thanks as well for such a prompt response to my inquires we wait with baited breath

also in regard to garbled vid i wondered (maybe if say we only used mp4/mp3 video/audio codecs and remove some un-needed format supports to shrink and maybe stabilize the dol? of course I could be way off base here as I am not a coder but a modder...Thought to myself "hey cant hurt to ask though!" lol...well thanks again and I will stop posting and let others speak there peace just wanted to be nosy bro thanks for obliging

and KUDOS on this project!)

Well, actually I explained it all in the wiibrew talk page, so no need to repeat here...
And actually I didn't make lots of tests with the video stuff, I tested just a few videos... some worked, some didn't... look at the initial post, there is a video opening there... it's so short because it crashes after some 5-6 seconds

That was of course just part of the proof of concept tests... nothing unfixable...

 

[UranusKiller]

Yeah, that kind of thing can be made configurable
I want to preserve at least one or two button for a specific use but of course other buttons can be made configurable... or all can be made configurable with the sacrifice of that extra stuff... but I doubt anyone will remember say 6 favourite channels I have even problems with 4

i end up forgetting, its a hard life, end up booting something, then its a fuck sake power back off and retry

Great job you done mate, however i think that you should implement the use of a folder in order to tidy this a little bit.
This way, if you ever decide to add the random picture display (boot1.jpg,boot2.jpg...), it will be better to have them in a seperate folder.

Well yep it's planned too

Folder will be named crazyintro, so don't use it for other purposes

@WiiCrazy:
Just a thing that crossed my mind and that should improve a lot the implementation of the movie rendering feature.
Instead of using a stripped version of mplayer that leads to a 6M file, why don't you use the homebrew port of MFE ?

The elf file is only 2.2M large, and you can even reduce its size by removing unwanted features.
Just give it a try.

@Topic: Realy, this app is maybe the only reason why I'll install Preloader again...only because of this, the rest what Preloader can don't interessts me...so keep it going!!!

Well it has lots of downsides, two of them significant
1. No easy compilation (because of that custom root filesystem)
2. Includes linux root filesystem and possibly a linux kernel... so it will probably take longer to boot

Edit: you answered while i was posting ^^

Too bad then, i really hoped that it will speed up the process.
We're all waiting for your tool mate, keep up the great work.

This week I'll only have saturday to work with this, really busy with work...

Things you can expect,
2. Ability to inject the mp3 and picture into the dol with a pc side program.
That would be great!

Same for me! Good work, dude!

Something new?

 

[Don Killah]

Seems a little bit early but i'd really enjoy some new feature (like integrate with Wanin's MenuPatcher...)

 

[WiiCrazy]

Well this will never be a backup launching solution or something.. sorry for that...
About the new features, yesterday and today I had to do usual work stuff because of a lousy project at the company... so it's a bit delayed... also I'm waiting for the delivery of default sound and picture... and maybe default video

 

[Don Killah]

Too bad, at least we gave it a try.
By the way AgentX just joined the boat, so try to catch him about a stripped avi player.
