Hacking Various Channel Wads for Apps

[olijack]

hello. i should've posted in this thread instead. i have tried the USB loader 1.5 .wad (not the forwarder, another forwarder i have tried also black screens) and it shows a black screen when i try to start from the wii menu. i don't understand what could possibly be wrong. do you have any ideas why the program would successfully install on the wii menu but not go past black screen when starting?

is there some kind of logo for the Sinclair ZX Spectrum? I couldn't find one.

There is a logo which is a red, yellow, green and blue stripe going diagonally with I believe some text on it but I can't seem to find it at the moment for the life of me. Will drop you a link if I can find it anywhere.

ah, alright, thanks. I'll knock together the other 2 for now, then I'll do some hunting too.

I'm messing with 3Dish versions of the emulator logos, I'll put em up in a bit, tell me what you think. I think they look a little more, interesting. ( got the idea when messing with the commodore 64 logo...it just looked so plain for my tastes)


Original-

3D..ish

Original

3Dish

Any Thoughts?


You get the idea...

These .wad channels work great except for every time I exit the application, the Wii goes to a black screen and I have to hold in the power button on the console to shut down and reboot.

I do not have this problem when I run the app from the homebrew channel.

Any ideas?

go to settings and activate "exit to system menu". by default it exits to the loader, but when you start them from the system menu there is no loader to exit to, so you get the black screen.

Great!!! Thank you so much for the help ApolloCheese.

Hey, I gotta say that I really like your channels! I've been looking all over for the emulator ones, they're simple, and use the original (nintendo) logo's instead of some custom designed stuff. I guess even my girlfriend will understand what they are for! The 3Dish ones do make them look a bit more lively, so I'd say it's an improvement!

And one question/request: do you plan on making forwarders for the emulator channels? Because there's an awful lot of activity going on in Wii-homebrew-land and I expect quite some updates in the near future. It would be real easy if I wouldn't have to update the channel all the time.

Anyway, thanks for the awesome channels!

Is there a USB Loader 1.5 Forwarder WAD?

 

[moviecouple]

Not sure if you take requests, but I was always very partial to this one. Clean and sleek and matches lots of other sets. If you are... I would like to see this on a USB Loader Forwarder or a standard for version 1.5 Loader.

moviecouple - Use "Wad Channels Updater".... you can reinject the lastest version of Waninkoko boot.dol into your favorite USB Loader Channel.wad

or see http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=148...15&start=15 becuase I just updated one of zombies to become a forwarder

 

[moviecouple]

Can you explain this a little further?

 

[lollett]

1. Download your fav Usb Loader Channel.wad you want to change (if you post a link i'll have a go)

2. Get Wad Channels Updater - http://www.mediafire.com/?iwojwbdmmek

3. Get this boot.dol (extracted from HDD Forwarder) - http://www.mediafire.com/?wyygojdmwmn

4. Run "Wad Channels Updater.exe"

- Original Wad = fav Usb Loader Channel.wad
- New DOL application = boot.dol
- New Channel title = Usb Loader

5. Press Update button

6. You will now have "Updated.wad"

7. Install as usual - hey presto your fav old wad images/banner/sound - but with a new application embedded.


Now if you want to get really cleaver, rather than use the forwarder boot.dol linked on this page, download Waninkokos USB Loader 1.5, rename .....dol to boot.dol and use the above steps to get a new embedded 1.5 channel with your fav startup look.

(And I see you wanted a new background.png - 1.5 support custom backgrounds.. just copy it to SD:/USB-LOADER)

Note: Wad Channels Updater doesn't work for everything, for example i'm trying to embed custom USB loader and this crashes. But it's not Wad Channels Updaters fault as injectuwad and wadpacker have the same issue because the application hasn't been written with WAD in mind.

Hope this helps!

they are good. I tend to remake the logos anyway (see the master system one for example, made from scratch). I just needed to see what it looked like. Thanks!

Thanks!

and yes, eventually. Devkitpro doesn't seem to like me, so, I am on the hunt for other forwarders to grab the needed file from them.

You're welcome, I'll just wait patiently to see if the forwarders work out or not

And in the meantime your existing channels are great!
