Yo Troy, in no way a "must do" since we can all do it ourselves, but the USB Loader GX guys came out with a new .wad/.dol that is supposed to load the loader much faster, maybe you can update the Channels on the first page to include the new version? If not we can just use Wad Channel Updater.

 

[TroyTheZombie]

got a link?

 

[TrickyTony]

.dol: http://www.mediafire.com/?4jw2tymtwd0
.wad:http://rapidshare.com/files/238915454/USBLoaderGX-UNEO_Forwarder.rar

Havent checked them out but people's comments seem to imply it is faster.

 

[TroyTheZombie]

I don't suppose you have a link to the comments?

also, is the dol a forwarder dol, or the application itself.

 

[TrickyTony]

Errrmmm... not super sure on specifics i BELIEVE that .dol is a forwarder. I am taking all this from comments on the past 2-4 pages of this post: http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=149922

 

[TroyTheZombie]

alright, I'll look into it in the next couple of days.

 

[TrickyTony]

Cool no rush. After game one of the Stanley Cup tonight I plan on trying out Wad Channel Updater. I will post my results.

Hey TTZ- just got to a comp, wondering how the C64 forwarder is working out! Also, I am working on compiling a list for O2 and Lynx.

 

[gringo13]

For the Odyssey 2 Forwarder Channel, these are the most popular games:
(screenshots of these games can be found at http://odyssey2.classicgaming.gamespy.com/db/)

1. Alien Invaders- Plus!
2. Pick Axe Pete
3. K.C. Munchkin
4. Killer Bees
5. The Quest for the Rings
6. Turtles
7. UFO
8. K.C.'s Krazy Chase
9. Smithereens
10. P.T. Barnums Acrobats
11. Power Lords
12. Monkeyshines!

An emulator for the Odyssey 2 can be found here:

.
The Character scrolling across the bottom could be KC Munchkin chomping away.

Lynx and Atari 2600 comin' up

 

[gringo13]

Oh yeah TTZ- one thing I wanted to ask you to use in the c64 channel was the sound heard here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VoSNuafbiJw
It would be fantastic if when you clicked on the channel the audio said "another visitor- stay awhile- stay forever!"

For the Odyssey 2 channel, any of these sounds would be awesome:

Specifically the ones "OH" or "Come on turkey, hit it!".

Thanks!

For the Lynx Forwarder:
(game screens can be found here: http://www.atariage.com/Lynx/history.html)

1. California Games
2. Ms. Pac Man
3. Rampage
4. Joust
5. Roadblasters
6. Marlboro Go!
7. S.T.U.N. Runner
8. Blue Lightning
9. Ninja Gaiden
10. Todds Adventure in Slime World
11. Chips Challenge
12. Dirty Larry Renegade Cop

The Emulator can be found here:
http://www.atariage.com/Lynx/emulation/index.html

The Lynx sound could possibly be the opening to California Games?
The character scrolling across the bottom could be the surfer from California Games.

edit: im gonna be taking off for a few so I will post the list for Atari 2600 in a while (unless someone gets to it first!)
Again, thanks so much for this TTZ, I cannot wait to have my Wii fully decked out in awesome channel goodness.

No sweat Troy- I will be sure to check in periodically.
Feel better!

Oh man. Niiiice. Read PMs please

 

[TrickyTony]

Meh. So WAD Channel Updater just boots to a black screen with the new USB Loader .dol.... No rush, it might not work at all, just wanted to update with my results.

 

[wiiwax]

I think it has something to do with the 01.app (or the main.dol of the channel) cause I'm using a very old forwarder and it "code dumps" too after several uses (2 or 3

)..!!

I also have this same issue, they stop working after a couple uses but a fresh install fixes this. To be honest, it's really the Wad Manager forwarder for use with Wad Manager 1.4. Can anyone further elaborate on this issue or a possible fix? Thanks in advance and great work on these forwarders Zomb, they look great! Additionally, I am also under the assumption that the .WAD files for these are packaged with the forwarder .dol already injected into the final wad.

These are great Troy! IS there any chance of getting an Atari 2600 and 7800 channel just like these...I want my wii menu to have clean look. Also, when wii64 comes out will you do a channel like these for that? Thanks! and keep up the great work!!

 

[pimpyT]

Troy,

I just wanted to thank you for creating some beautiful looking animated channels. They look great and function perfectly. Keep up the great work!

 

[gringo13]

Hey Troy, just checking in on the progress of the channels from earlier in the thread.
Hope everythings going well and I look forward to seeing your final product!
