New Banner for 3.0.1 and up

Whoops!

EDIT: Fixed!

Both the FCEUGX 3.0.1 and SNES9xGX 4.02 channels don't work for me. I've tried downloading them again and re-installing them and they still don't work. Are they working for anyone else?

Im trying to use the homebrew browser forwarder for 0.3 but it wont work anyone have a link to it?

 

[anino]

troy, how about forwarders for the new Geexbox and Mplayer CE?

 

[chaney]

Hi Troy. First thanks a lot for your great work !

I just wanted to say you that I have a little problem with your ScummVm forwarder.
If I use it, then try to quit Scummvm, I have a bug with a lot of code on screen and have to power off the wii.
If I go directly from the homebrew channel, I do not have this problem at all, and then just come back to hbc when I quit scummvm.
Do you have the same problem as me ?
Thanks in advance

 

[kevenz]

You should do one for Neo Geo and Nintendo 64

Sadly, some apps will do that upon exit if injected into a channel or when a forwarder is used because it is trying to exit to where it was launched, which it is originally programmed to be launched from the homebrew channel, but since it isn't, it crashes upon exit. Nothing I can do about it, sorry!

 

[MikeyTaylorGaming]

aww.. too bad its already clearly in the stickies in big moes thread huh?

Did you download the hombre browser from wiibrew or elsewhere and put it in the correct folder? (loads boot.dol from /apps/homebrew_bowser)

Does it work when launching from the homebrew channel?

I honestly have no idea why it is not working for you, works fine for me and other people who have downloaded it.



anyway...


New emulator forwarder, 8 in 1 (dol coded by spacejump)

QUOTE

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.

Added note, all extension controllers must unplugged when selecting emulator. They can be replugged in after the emulator has started.

yes it's in the correct folder,

I like the fact that the homebrew browser has it's own channel so that I don't have to go through homebrew channel to access the homebrew browser, any ideas? what does FAT could not be initialized means?

Links coming shortly.

Neat.

New FTPii 0.0.19 Wii-ish channel coming?

 

[TroyTheZombie]

yes it's in the correct folder,
yes it launches from the homebrew channel,
I like the fact that the homebrew browser has it's own channel so that I don't have to go through homebrew channel to access the homebrew browser, any ideas? what does FAT could not be initialized means?

It means for some reason, it can't access your sd card.

very strange because all of my other apps works(homebrew channel, wad manager and homebrew browser through the homebrew channel)
do I have to format it as FAT then? how do I do that? thanks

 

[olijack]

Awesome work with the new emulator forwarder gonna change from embedded ones to this one, Thanks

 

[suiller]

dear friend, above all I'd like to give you a BIG thanks for all your great work in keeping updated this thread, I found this one extremely useful

if for you isn't a big trouble I have a small request (also 4 future), this is to include in your wad list also the wad for FTPii, and as you know now we are at the .19 release

now are many months that the "old" version .18 come out & the new one has some nice improvements/corrections, & of course it will very useful to have it again as wad

thank you in advance

kind regards,
davide

there are tons of utilities out there to format your drive to FAT.

Hmm....only one that I can remember off the top of my head is swissknife. Google it.


as far as FTPii, yeah, I will, when I have the time. Graphical work takes a bit of time.


Oh, and I'll be putting up individual forwarders for each emulator later today.
