Many thanks

When I look at the video I see you lok triifoce MRC with USB Nand right?
Yes, you're right. It uses USB NAND.

QUOTEAnd you do have pictures. How do youdo that? Are the picutres on the USB or SD?

Just put the pictures in sd:/triiforce_mrc/ (SD card) and remember all the requirements:
QUOTE

- Image size: 192 x 112
- Image format: PNG
- Image files must be named as game ID (4 characters displayed on the mrc game menu).

See ya!

No, I don't want to create channels. I was asking about a compile of TriiForce that would launch a specific VC/WW title. There is already a TriiForce ISO 'forwarder' that you can install to your WBFS drive to use with USB loader apps. Of course, it has a TriiForce cover and launches the standard TriiForce app. It would be nice to have the ability to compile many versions of TriiForce, with each one set to launch a specific title, so that many ISO forwarders could be made and added to the WBFS drive, with nice custom covers and all. I'm guessing it would be relatively simple to do, but I'm not a coder so I have no idea how to go about altering the code.

I don't know how the ISO's are being created, but perhaps they could use the output of Crap to do the above. We'll see. Seems like it would certainly be easier/quicker than recompiling TriiForce for every VC/WW title wanted.

So, you want a DOL file that automatically runs a specify WW/VC game from Triiforce's loader?...

That's already made

!

And where is this DOL file? And which game does it run?

Unpack the output file, then you will get a DOL file from it.
It will run all the games supported by Triiforce loader.

See ya!

OK, thanks. Hopefully we'll see some forwarder ISO's for TriiForce VC/WW games soon, so we can run everything from a USB loader and we'll no longer need this app.

marc_max, just want to say great loader! but i was just wondering is there a way i can delete games i don't need/don't work through the loader itself? because i have a bunch of games and it doesn't show me the right title for each game installed. thanks.

Try with ShowMiiWads pc application. Open your emulated SD/USB NAND there and you'll be able to delete games or titles that you don't need anymore.

QUOTE(slingshot27 @ Oct 21 2009, 02:12 PM) I really hope triidforce mrc will read the images from usb soon.

Mhhh... that would be good when your SD card is not present or something

See ya!

Any word on any image pack updates (specifically normal WiiWare) ?

Any word on any image pack updates (specifically normal WiiWare) ?

I don't know of an easy way to extract the banners from WiiWare, as they are not a single picture like VC is...
Point me to a source that has the pics that are large enough and I will try... (pics from nin's site are too small).

Side note: Rygar was released for VC, so I will try to get that pic added soon.

 

[callmebob]

Thnx. If I knew of an easy way of doing it, I would´ve already done it myself.

If anyone knows of a gui, or even a command line tool that does this, then please, do share.

If I can figure out how to use tools available, I will gladly do the work myself.

 

[longtom1]

can you not just extract the banners from the wad files with showmiiwads

 

[twig123]

No, wiiware is packed differently than VC is.
WiiWare has several partial pics that would need to be merged into one (i'm guessing), where as VC is just 1 picture.

The main problem is that they are most of the time animated

. . . . So how exactly is this installed onto a SD card/USB drive/thumbdrive? Advantages? . . . .

. . . . So how exactly is this installed onto a SD card/USB drive/thumbdrive? Advantages? . . . .

- You must have cIOS38 rev14 installed in your wii.
- Make a NAND copy on your preferred SD/USB device (look for Simple FS Dumper homebrew for do that).
- Put triiforce mrc in your homebrew list or install it as wad channel (here).
- Install titles/wads/games using ShowMiiWads (pc tool) on your preferred device.

Advantages:
- You will save wii-NAND space. Everything will run from your device.
- You will be able to add cheat codes to your games.
- You will be able to run your games in other wii consoles.

See ya

Games from the menu often reset to hbc unfortunately. I hope compatibility improves over time.

Also the bottom of the screen is partically cut off. It would be great if that was changed abit. Thanks for your efforts

As much as I enjoy the Triiforce apps, I've been having a lot of trouble. All I can get is a "Failed to Load USB/SD NAND" and then a crash. Did I miss something?

I think I have the same thing, I have a FS dump of the Nand on my SD/USB and when I choose either it goes back to the homebrew channel. Do we actually have to install a wiimenu onto the card/drive?

 

[sincitypiercer]

If its crashing you may be having a problem with the sd card or the usb if its not property formatted to fat32 or if its sdhc I have had problems sdhc seems be be not really supported by most of the nand emulation.

What I have is an external 500gb drive (cheap ebay case, 500gb WD drive) 16gb at the front of the drive is formatted to fat32 and marked active, the rest is wbfs with all my games.

Put fstools on an sd card in the apps folder, launch it from hbc and start it up, go through the prompts until its asking you to press a button to do something and it will have a directory listing just press 1 and wait for it to say its finished dont do anything else then just reboot the system.

Take the sd card put it in your computer and in the root of the drive it will have a folder fstools and that is your nand all the folders/files in there. If you have a bunch of stuff on your nand it will take a while if not it wont. so take all those files and copy them to the root of your fat32 sdcard/hdd and it should work perfectly.

I kept having issues trying to install wiiware/vc using wad installers so I use wad2nand to basically "unrar" the wad file and it gives you the ticket/title folders that you need for the game. One problem people didn't explain and I had to figure out is the only way wad2nand will work right is if you put the files into the folder with the .wads then just drag and drop each wad one at a time onto the wad2nand.exe. then all you have to do is copy/past the ticket/title folder wherever your nand backup is and those games will be installed. It works great and is quicker and easier then using wad manager or anything else that I have found. I have every VC/wiiware game installed and working (if it does work some just dont work yet) installed on my drive and it works great.
