Media Forwarder Channel v2:
QUOTE said:
This is a little app/channel that combines the five Wii Media Players GeeXboX, MPlayerWii,
MPlayer Twiizer Version, MPlayerWii Mod (rodries) and Dragon Media Player into one app / channel.
The Media Forwarder loads the media apps from the front sd according to the held button on
launching the channel. The paths on sd are as followed:

- GeeXboX: /apps/geexbox/boot.elf
- MPlayerWii: /apps/MPlayerWii/boot.dol
- MPlayer Twiizer: /apps/MPlayer/boot.dol
- MPlayerWii: /apps/MPlayerWii_rodries/boot.dol
- Dragon Media Player: /apps/dmp/boot.dol

They are the same paths that the Homebrew Browser uses. That means if you downloaded the apps with
the Homebrew Browser, all paths are set for the Media Forwarder.

Choosing the loaded media player:
----------------------------------------
When launching the Channel, simply hold down one direction or the A button on the Wiimote's
d-pad for the desired media player to load (directions are shown on screen).

Besides that you can specify a favorite media player in the media_forwarder.conf config file. This
favorite media player will be loaded automatically, if no button is pushed on the Wiimote.

changes:
----------
- v1: initial release
- v2: added DMP on button A, removed menu when holding A on channel launch

usage:
--------
1. Install Media Forwarder Channel v2.wad using WadManager, or inject media_forwarder_v02.dol
into your own wad
2. Copy the file "media_forwarder.conf" into the root of the sd
3. Edit "media_forwarder.conf" and change the path to your favorite media player
3. Put your SD card back into the Wii and launch the installed channel from 1

Emulator Forwarder Channel:
QUOTE said:
This is a little app/channel that combines eight emulators for Wii into one app/channel.
The Emulator Forwarder loads the emulators from the front sd according to the held button on
launching the channel. The emulators and their paths on sd are as followed:

- Snes9xGX: /apps/Snes9xGX/boot.dol
- FCEUGX: /apps/fceu/boot.dol
- Genesis Plus: /apps/genplusgx/boot.dol
- SMSPlus: /apps/smsplus/boot.dol
- VisualBoyAdvance: /apps/vbawii/boot.dol
- ScummVM: /apps/SCUMMVM/boot.dol
- GxGeo: /apps/gxgeo/boot.dol
- Hu-Go GX: /apps/hugo-gx/boot.dol

They are the same paths that the Homebrew Browser uses. That means if you downloaded the apps with
the Homebrew Browser, all paths are set for the Emulator Forwarder.

Choosing the loaded emulator:
-----------------------------------
When launching the Channel, simply hold down the right button on the Wiimote's
d-pad for the desired emulator to load (buttons are shown on screen).

Besides that you can specify a favorite emulator in the emu_forwarder.conf config file. This
favorite emulator will be loaded automatically, if no button is pushed on the Wiimote.

changes:
----------
- v1: initial release

usage:
-------
1. Install Emulator Forwarder Channel.wad using WadManager, or inject emu_forwarder.dol
into your own wad
2. Copy the file "emu_forwarder.conf" into the root of the sd
3. Edit "emu_forwarder.conf" and change the path to your favorite emulator
3. Put your SD card back into the Wii and launch the installed channel from 1

Tools Forwarder Channel:
QUOTE
This is a little app/channel that combines four apps for Wii into one app/channel.
The Tools Forwarder loads the apps from the front sd according to the held button on
launching the channel. The apps and their paths on sd are as followed:

- Homebrew Browser: /apps/homebrew_browser/boot.dol
- WADManager: /apps/WADManager/boot.dol
- Gecko OS: /apps/geckoos_cf/boot.dol
- FTPii: /apps/FTPII/boot.dol

They are the same paths that the Homebrew Browser uses (except for WADManager of course). That
means if you downloaded the apps with the Homebrew Browser, all paths are set for the Tools
Forwarder.


Choosing the loaded app:
-----------------------------
When launching the Channel, simply hold down the button on the Wiimote's
d-pad for the desired app to load (buttons are shown on screen).

Besides that you can specify a favorite tool in the tools_forwarder.conf config file. This
favorite tool will be loaded automatically, if no button is pushed on the Wiimote.

changes:
----------
- v1: initial release

usage:
-------
1. Install Tools Forwarder Channel.wad using WadManager, or inject tools_forwarder.dol
into your own wad
2. Copy the file "tools_forwarder.conf" into the root of the sd
3. Edit "tools_forwarder.conf" and change the path to your favorite emulator
3. Put your SD card back into the Wii and launch the installed channel from 1

Yes Mate!!
Well Done!

Those are great!
Can't wait to whip them up in an animated channel!

Once 0RANGECHICKEN releases their tools. we can make great looking animated multi purpose channels

Nice tools. If I used my wii for media purposes, I would definately try this out.

You do know that only one is for Media puposes, the other two for emulators and tools?

SpaceJump, you've done yourself proud with these.

I love anything that tackles the real issues like space (memory and channel spaces).

Great stuff 11/10

Thank you

Btw, in contrary to the previous versions of snes9xGX, fceuGX and VBAGX, the current new versions work perfectly with the Forwarder.
 
Thanks, this is great!.
I'll use them, hope you will at sound sometime.
And make the media channel the same as emulator channel.
But good work!.
 
anyone have a link to MPlayerWii_rodries? i google my buns off and couldn't find anything for downloading.

EDIT: eek didn't check to see if i was the last poster before posting lol sorry for 2x posting! Also i haven't checked HBB for the download yet. DLing Scumm VM right now.

If you have a decent sound suggestion, post it and I can insert it into the wad.

@Raziel: You can download rodries' MPLayerWii version in Homebrew Browser or here.
 
well the loaders look great, but i keep getting Code dump on neogx, nes, and snes emulators. i DLed the neogx from HBB and have been using the nes-snes emu prior to loading the wad. so i know they work. i checked the paths and and version via HBB and everything reads up to date. not sure whats up.

EDIT: @Space thanks, i found it on HBB, you rock!
 
Did you download the emus that code dump from HBB? If yes, then that explains it. Those emus are not the current versions and code dump if they are loaded through channels. But these emus recently were updated and now work in channels/forwarders. You can either wait till they are updated in HBB or download them from Wiibrew or the Homebrew section in the magazine news of GBAtemp.
 
Are any of you using the channels with SDHC cards? Does it work? I currently don't have one so SDHC-support is untested.
 
im using a 2gb transend minisd (with the adapter, of course). though i dont know if its an sdhc. i never take the thing out of the wii. ill check it when i get home from work.
