Hacking triiforce mrc

[ashexx]

Hmm. I'd assume other green screen error wiiwares' like strong bad and my life as a darklord don't work too then. I wonder what's up with these. They work fine off the system menu channel or the SD menu. Anyone care to explain why this is happening when running off triiforce?

not sure about tales of monkey island or strongbad, but pal version of my life as a darklord works fine for me using beta3 (will update to beta 5 when i get home) on a 4.1e emulating 4.1e

 

[ashexx]

My bad. I didn't really tried my life as a darklord just assumed it'd green screened. It actually does work fine. Both chapters of tales of monkey island and the strong bad series is confirmed to hang with a green screen on either triiforce or triiforce mrc. I just want to know the technical explanation why this is happening. I suspect it's similar to the ios reload issue affecting some games ran through USB loaders.

All,

I've been extracting the "VCPic" from several VC WADs with ShowMiiWads and WADder...
They are currently all 256x192 (I have not tested, but I believe they are too large for the current triiforce_mrc)
If someone would like to take the liberty to resize them if needed that would be great.

There are some VC titles that the pic colors are off... not quite sure why, but I stopped after I noticed a few (Ex: Sonic 2, Wave Race 64...). They should all be named properly for NTSC-U...

Here is the link for the pics that I have pulled. Let me know what you think:

Darklord works for me using v5 and USB NAND. However, the Strong Bad, Art Style, and Monkey Island games are still not working. This GUI version of Triiforce is outstanding - keep up the good work Mark!!

 

[kedest]

are there already plans to make it extract the banner from the game files themself?

 

[Skizzo]

For the games that aren't working, have these been tried by first installing the game to the Wii's NAND, running game, creating save (if necessary), saving in game and finally transferring the save contents to the emulated NAND, as was suggested is necessary for Bit.Trip.Core?

Also, do all of our Wii's contain the same files in shared1, or do these get added on an as-needed basis by the WAD's themselves?

For comparison, here's what's in my shared1. You can copy the contents to an .sfv file and verify against yours if interested. Unless it's a well-known fact that the contents are all the same and comparing is unnecessary, in which case, just ignore this.

That's from a 3.3U (v2 I believe) Wii.

 

[twig123]

Here are pics for 183 of the 320 available NTSC-U Virtual Consoles:
(All are the required size 192x112)

Contents of the pack
Commadore 64: 6
Neo-Geo: 11
NES: 45
Nintendo 64: 11 (4 need proper pics as color is off)
Sega Genesis: 50
Sega Master System: 3
Super Nintendo: 21
TurboGrafx-16: 36
Virtual Console Arcade: 1

No special banners or anything, just the Default VCPics for these wads...

Enjoy!

 

[erolz]

great job!
would be great if the GUI will be the same as the Wii menu ;-)

 

[erolz]

anyone got a nice forwarder for this?

 

[guitarloser85]

Just download the forwarder for the original triiforce, found here http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?m3jgxgnjcw5 and place the mrc version in the folder sd://apps/triiforce as boot.dol and the forwarder will load that.

 

[callmebob]

Is there a limit to the number of wads you can use with this app?

I used wad2nand with the w2n.bat to create the title and ticket files for around 120/130 (WiiWare) wads.

mrc only shows me 2 pages though, and it always gives me an "Abort called" crash if I try to access the 2nd page.

Tried both the autoboot, and manual selection of the USB nand using mrc v5.

Regular triiforce recognizes all of the games though.

Also, once this gets all the bugs ironed out, and all the images ready, yes a forwarder would be nice!

(edit) @ guitarloser85. Yes could do that, but until I´ve got it working right, I´ll stick with using the forwarder to boot the original triiforce.

 

[nicksasa]

are there already plans to make it extract the banner from the game files themself?

triiforce-banner branch already does for a long time ... maybe marc will add it sometime or it will be me adding it

whats that? triiforce-banner branch ?
is it a tool to create banners from the wads? how does it work and were can i find this?

 

[Cyan]

@Erolz :
On the source code repository, there is a main trunk on which developers are working, and branches for sub-project, test, beta, other code etc.
http://code.google.com/p/triiforce/source/browse/

 

[twig123]

All,

Here is the pic pack that I have created for the NTSC-U set:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=INLGWHHG
(Contains pics for 320 of the available 320 VC Titles, and have been resized to work with triiforce_mcr)
Edit:
v3 Changelog -
Added "Final Fight 2" as JDDE.png
Added "Star Parodier" as QAW.png (unable to find a proper QAWE, so I just dropped the E)
Renamed PCXE.png -> PBXE.png
Renamed PCJE.png -> PBJE.png
Renamed MC6E.png -> MB6E.png

Also, big thanks to Tetsuo Shima for showing me how to fix the pics that were discolored (RGB -> BGR).

JIK anyone is interested in the unmodified (NOT resized) pics, here they are:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=58LLJCJ1


Enjoy!
