I am playing around with any-title deleter and also the updates on a game disc extracted with WUFE.

I have deleted the two instances of News and Weather channels

HAFA 00010002-48414641 Weather Channel
HAFx 00010002-484146xx Forecast Channel
HAGA 00010002-48414741 News Channel
HAGx 00010002-484147xx News Channel

which has worked fine and removed the channels.

And wondered if installing the ones extracted from a disc are likely to bugger anything else up? my Wii is starfalled 3.2e with the dip 7 patched cISOs and all discs run from the disc channel.

The channels extracted from the game disc are.

RVL-Forecast_EU-v7.wad.out.wad
RVL-News-v3.wad.out.wad
RVL-News_EU-v7.wad.out.wad
RVL-Weather-v3.wad.out.wad

Anyone else already done this (searched but the GBATemp search engine is shite)

OK I have re-installed the Forecast and News channels (EU-v7) and removed them a couple of times with no problems, all other (ahem) changes previously done to the Wii are still working.

None

they don't share space that can be recovered, I wanted them gone so nobody turned Wii24 on and updated.

I think the photo channel can be got from a Wii disc using WUFE

Why not just get a homebrew media player? If you install it as a channel then it would be just as convenient as photo channel.

If you delete the 1.1 version it reverts back to the old version which is still installed, at least that's what it did on mine.

    I don't think that has anything to do with it.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    TV knows mature sells more
  • Delerious @ Delerious:
    More to do with the fact that YouTubers don't need talent scouts and managers to boost them up.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Youtubers get paid by small shop projects probably 1k per sponsor spot depending on product where actors get paid millions to pounce around in shit movies
  • Delerious @ Delerious:
    Yep yep.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    You can't even say vagina in a youtube video without it's Ai bot system finding it offensive
  • Delerious @ Delerious:
    Funny how that works, isn't it? Especially when you get plenty of advertisers throwing their names in the movies that actors and actresses star in.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Like I said because they know more kids watch YouTube they don't want to get blamed for corrupting the youth
  • Delerious @ Delerious:
    Ah, gotcha-- I see what you're saying now.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Meanwhile two lions humping in a youtube video is "educational"
  • Delerious @ Delerious:
    Funny thing is -- the youth are always "corrupted" in their teenage years, regardless. Hell, a teenage boy can still just view porn on PornHub for free, with no real means of age verification.
  • Delerious @ Delerious:
    And it's not like there isn't mature content on other social media platforms, either.
  • Delerious @ Delerious:
    Instagram and Twitter still allow adult content, as far as I know.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Yeah but it's a good security fall back so parents can't shout youtube ruined my kid that's why he's shooting everything up
  • Delerious @ Delerious:
    Pretty much.
  • Delerious @ Delerious:
    People always gotta find a scape goat.
  • Delerious @ Delerious:
    Because parents don't want to pay attention to what their kids are doing with the tablet or smart phone that they gave them.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    "So tell me that your son doesn't know any cuss words
    When his bus driver's screamin' at him, fuckin' him up worse (Go sit the fuck down, you little fucking prick!)"
  • Delerious @ Delerious:
    The older kids get, the more they swear, regardless. Once you're in middle school, especially.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Eh I'd rather kids mess up in high school like a cop told me once almost old enough for big jail
  • Delerious @ Delerious:
    The middle school social playground is the gateway to all sorts of new and exciting language.
  • Delerious @ Delerious:
    I see what you mean. Mess up early so that you can learn hard lessons early?

    I was a little rebel thief in my younger days but $500 fines and jail isn't worth it over a $50 item
