Hacking SneekyCompiler

[scooby74029]

Installing DevkitPro
File Not Found (404)
pspsdk-doc-20051113.tar.bz2 could not be downloaded at this time.

I see this issue with a non-sneekycompiler devkitpro installer, seems to be an issue with the DevKitPro repository.

yeah i checked into this and is it a problem with the devkit installer

i am working on a new release of sneekycompiler now and should release it soon

Just uncheck the PSP things when installing. It's not necessary for sneeky compiler.

Great program, by the way. Once I figured that out, everything worked like a charm

well i was just wondering if anyone who downloaded the new version had anything to say good? bad?

i am just looking to see if anyone likes the new gui or not?

Well I don't know if it is a problem with my setup, but it seems that your compiler doesn't generate the armboot.bin that would nomally go into the bootmii folder of the sneek/uneek installation. that probably happens because the environment variable for python is not set (the installer doesn't do this, it has to be done manually).

I haven't tested it yet, but I took a look at the gui! Much nicer than the cmd window u had before! I'll try to find some time to test this out later when I'm on my personal computer (I don't want to be installing stuff on a machine that isn't mine!)

@linkfan

i know i guess i need to add that in the readme file i will be trying to add a function to add the path to python to the system path

@Xflak

I hope you like it I think this would be great for modmii to use this kind of gui it is really easy to learn and ill bet you could do a better job than i could

I ran into some errors.

This could be because my internet connection is rather flaky at the moment (I'm typing this from my laptop on a wireless connection I borrowed from the neighbors). I'll retry when that clears up (and if still the same, actually be able to copy-paste the error).

 

[Taleweaver]

Well...good news and bad news. The good news is that my issues were caused by a lack of internet. Rerunning it with the same settings actually started a prompt this time that did awholelottastuff. In the end, it made a \CopyToSD and \CopyToUSB, so it was all good.

The emulated nand wasn't there, but that was the least of my worries (I just copy-pasted an emulated nand I used far earlier for a succeeded experiment with sneek). And getting a game in the discEx format was also more a matter of waiting than figuring out what to do.

Unfortunately, it still didn't boot anything. Upon investigating and comparing with this list, I noticed your program makes an empty "\sneekycompiler\CopyToSD\bootmii" folder (it should have armboot.bin). Now I'm not too familiar with this file...but right now, my wii acts as if nothing was added whatsoever.

I pointed this out earlier in this thread (here), just set the path variable for python in the environment variables, and it will build the armboot.bin (at least it should, haven't tried it).

@scooby
Since the program was written in Autohotkey, maybe you should have a look here. With this function, you should be able to write the python variable into the path environment variable.

thanks for the advice linkfan ill try to rewrite it soon and then let everyone know when it is ready thanks

Note that that command is temporary. You cannot permanently write environment variables with the built in commands in AutoHotKey. You can however do it with this little library: http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=57491 Very easy to use and great author

ok sifjar i am trying to use this library

i added env.ahk to my source and then i added this line:

env_append("Path",";" "C:/python26") but still it doesnt write to the path

i am using windows 7 home premium and a 64 bit computer

am i doing this wrong?

 

[SifJar]

you have the line "#include env.ahk" at the start of your code right?

something like this should work fine:

Env_Append("Path", ";C:\test\")

EDIT: If it still doesn't work, there is a sort of workaround to do it in AHK without extra libs by writing the registry. That is basically all my library does anyway, so you could look at the source of Env_Append() in env.ahk if you want to see how to do it that way.

 

[scooby74029]

so does that mean i need to use all the functions or just the append one

 

[SifJar]

What do you mean "use all the functions"?

 

[scooby74029]

lol

ok i know i dont make much sense but do i need to use all the functions from env.ahk or just the append one

what i am tring to do is after my program installs python is to set python into the environment path so the armboot.bin will be made and people wont have to do it manually
