Hacking vWii sneek

[XDel]

OK thanks, and the Setup.com with Devkitpro. I presume it should not be sitting at a DOS promt blinking for an hour?

EDIT: Freaking Triple post. Where's that delete button?

Just close it and run it again then. It shouldn't take more than 15 minutes to download and install everything.

So when it sits at a DOS prompt like that, it's trying to download something?

Possibly. If it's been open this long though, you should shut the whole thing down and restart the process.

I added instructions for installing a theme.

Ah ha! I figured out what was going on here!

I just assumed this tutorial was for Windows. I'm in Linux, so I went to the links and downloaded all the packages while install Windows 32-bit on one of my spare PC's.

What I forgot is that those links detect the OS you are using, so it gave me the Linux version of Devkit, and the file I was launching wasn't a Windows or DOS application at all.

So now that I have that straight...

Here it is:
Compiling a vWii compatible version of SNEEK

Very nice tutorial, thank you for the effort.

I noticed when installing tortoiseSVN for the first time the command prompt integration is disabled by default. Inputting the 'svn' command will only throw up errors without it previously marked for install.

New road block.

I re-downloaded everything within Windows XP, installed Devkit pro minus the ARM and PSP. The guide was not clear as to where to place "devkitARM r24" so I put it's folder inside of "C:\DevkitPro" along side of "devkitPPC".

The Devkit installer never created a "C:\projects" folder. And SVN is not a noticed command within DOS.

That's where I've gotten so far. This is a fresh install of XP OEM 32-bit.

Even after restarting? It didn't used to be that way.

Crap. I thought that the installer would automatically put it in the correct folder, but I guess I was wrong. I'll edit the guide in the morning. It's 3:19AM here.

Yes even after restarting. Uninstalling then reinstalling with it enabled fixed the error for me but I may have just been unlucky.

I can also confirm devkit not creating the projects folder upon installation.

 

[JoostinOnline]

Thanks. Installers have changed since I last used them.

 

[XDel]

Yes, I installed too. 4:50AM here, I'm also way over due.

Tested and working !

 

[worm28]

Its not working for me i get to the navigate to c/projects and there is no folder i created one go to download sneek source and it tells me it is not recognized as a command, question about devkit arm do i extract it somewhere all it does is give me a folder called devkit arm? EDIT- dam i forgot to install tortoise working now thanks joostin.

So can vwii also be themed now?

 

[Ozz465]

What is the final output size of kernel-sd.?? mine is always 0 kb?

 

[JoostinOnline]

If anyone was having problems with it before, redo the Preparation part, including downloading devkitARM_r32.rar.

drakorex: Yes, but only in SNEEK.

I mean the actual Vwii. If you were able to successfully theme the nand dump, what's stopping you from building a theme.csm that can be applied with MyMenuify?

Thanks I'll have another go.
