Ok we've started editing all the files for customizing the system menu.... We may release a customized menu in stages since there is alot there to edit. If we do go this route you can expect to see the first release having the health screen and cursors changed. Everything on the system menu can be changed.

Realy, awesome process is beeing made now, in such a little time

...BUT WHY DON'T SOMEBODY LISTEN

? Please team up, guys, please...I think everyone here can wait a little more for a perfect menu...I think it's hard for Forsaekn, developing so hard and long on something, and then you came, and do the same...PLEASE, I'm beggin you..team up...More people --> more awesomeness...

BTW: Let WiiShizzza do the Photoshopping for the Graphics...he's a god at this point

!

 

[20clarky08]

Shizza is already involved in the graphics process..

and this isnt a one man thing at all, anybody and everbody is invited to contribute what they can...

the more experience the better guys, any coders who can answer a few questions about Wii internals wii appreciated.

Well, I've already asked this in the preloader thread, but no one has said anything. What does the application sadmenu have the power to do? From its description on wiibrew it seems that it can safely patch the system menu by only patching it in memory, and not the nand. You'd think that more work would of been done with this program, but I haven't found anything about it other than that post in the wiki for wiibrew(http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Sadmenu). This seems like it would be the best way to patch the menu for customization.

 

[digitydogs]

truballr. you can start at the Anyregion changer step.

anyone can photo shop its simple. Wiishiiza's already been invited to help out, he's working on the healthmenu, but hes also busy with other projects. As for teaming up with fors. Im not against it, but i imagine the custom menu he has in mind looks different from what we have in mind. Plus what fors is doing (if i understand correctly) goes far beyond what we are doing in terms of custom menus. WE are just changing graphics, he is changing the entire way the menu works

Ok guys question i have a 3.2u wii with gamma, homebrew channel never updated past 3.2. My question is when I go to install this can do i start from phase 3 in the guide? And if I install Riiskimod will gamma still be on my wii.

Just be very very careful with sysmenu moddings! Anything bad can cause a serious brick, which might could not be unbricked at home.
Just make sure all of your team mates know this!!

I bricked myself a lot of times.
Could some times only recover using a friends Infectus.

Just think of the danger!

Also U'll never know what happens when Big N brings out an update that checks the Hash of certain files!

If your "hard bricked" nothing can help you! No preloader, no starfall!!

 

[djtaz]

you should bold some of that as well Shizza - theres a few others had similar issues messing with that stuff - the preloader doesnt help

funny you mention the update. i was farting around with my wii till 130 am. i woke up this morning and my disc slot is flashing. i know that i got an email from hbb, but i opened it already. i hope maybe preloader was updated, and not that nintendo hash check update. lol

 

[WiiShizzza]

Messing with any system files can react in a hard brick that you can't unbrick yourself!
If you aren't a pro and don't have the right equipment. Speaking of Infectus and stuff like that.

I would say don't mess with the sysmenu in any case!

Wait for Forsaekens cSM.

 

[digitydogs]

Well i have custom cursors on my wii now. no brick but now its off to the store back in a bit

 

[swimmeringer]

So let me get this straight:

This lets me

a) Play backups from the disc channel

and b) Play games from a different region?

Is this correct? And if it can run the backups, is any patching or whatever necessary?

 

[AsosaYoung]

Yes
Yes
No

 

[swimmeringer]

Yes
Yes
No

Hot damn! Installing now.

tried 3.2E ntsc with jap language: Naruto ex3 NTSC-J boots fine Mariokart Pal boots fine Wii Sports blackscreened
i asked crediar about 0.26 last night and it does boot by disc video great for multi standard tv owners like myself

.
so now we just need disc language then we will have full region free

An interesting thing to note that i discovered during my testing last night that has to do with the video compatibility. When my video out in my region setting in changed to PAL, then I boot the Wii and on my LCD i'm now in 576i resolution which is correct. That's using standard composite cables. However if I use my Component cable the LCD always displays in 480i or 480p. Even PAL games with Region set to PAL. So apparently just using Component cables forces the output back to NTSC. So launching the game the exact same way with identical configuration, the video output is PAL with composite cable, and NTSC with component cable. So people with component HD inputs on their TVs should be able to use both ntsc and pal games without sync issues.

Could somebody with a PAL systems set their video out to ntsc and use component cable and test both pal and ntsc games and see if your video mode from the component cables stays locked like it does for me? Oh, and also then test it with regular composite cables to make sure the video switches between modes like it does for me with that cable too.

No you missed something out with component its 720x480 or 640x480 the reason your getting 480 is your feeding the set a 480p image wether its pal or ntsc doesnt matter as its being fed the same resolution image at 60hz.
On most tv's over composite it can be dependant on colour wether it grayscreens or gives overblown contrast, in general ntsc sets can display pal games fine as long as its getting 60Hz and the same goes for pal 60 tv's.

my plasma is multi standard and displays ntsc or pal games exactly the same when using component cables the only issue that is limiting region issues is jap language.

if booting from disc channel you will always get the system video mode this can cause issues for some games that will blackscreen or give jap error message as the discs require the system videomode and or language to match the discs region settings.

preloader 0.26 will force the system to load by disc video mode so a display capable of pal and ntsc will be required.
for those that can get away with this theres still the requirement to also have disc language booted for some jap game.

an example of the above is my hardmodded wii i can set it using any region changer to 3.2E ntsc video and jap language mario kart pal will boot and play fine, naruto ex3 ntsc-j will boot fine but wii sports pal will blackscreen due to wrong video mode by system.

whatever rout you take theres going to be issues wether its language or video mode since some ntsc tv's will suffer from overblown contrast or be incapable of displaying an alien colour mode. then there issues with the wii cables for example i cant load bleach from disc channel if using pal and component cable the game will freeze if i switch system output to ntsc it runs fine but can run no problem using composite, but like i said 0.26 will overcome that for some

idealy a reagion thread will be started that discusses 1:1 games and different cables and video/language modes or a way to fully free it in disc channel as patched games are just moot and pointless mentioning when it comes to region compatability

 

[j.m.g.a]

My wii is pal, and there are some games that don´t work on my wii (with riiskimod) like Tales of Symphonia 2, the wii reads it, but, when i press start the screen stays black, and i can´t do anything.

 

[20clarky08]

i wish Fors wasnt on holiday man...or Wanin would pop up lol

really need some serious clarification on what we are attempting here

Digity has got the new menu pointers workin now, he now his green hands on his Wii lol
