Hacking WADder 1.0

[icefireicefire]

It is because of the Banner/Icon images and the silent sound file.

lourens: The splash screen is the screen that says "Do not touch your computer!". Also, PLEASE use SFTC for SoftChip!

I just made a Soft Chip r73 Channel with this. Holding my breath when restarting my Wii but it worked. No sound but a nice icon and banner. Whooheee, if anyone wants it PM me, but it isn't that special.

This is so nice, it is as if you have a Homebrew Channel in your own Wii Menu! It boots as if you start it from the HBC. I tested with Autoboot, works and also works if you press 1 multiple times to go back to the menu. Sound is missing, I can not wait!

One thing, what is the Splash thingy?

Unique ID is 9989. (PS does Wad Manager installs it if you have the same ID?)

And another thing, the images and boot.dol are 500 kb, the .wad is 5 MB?

Can you take a look in any title deleter and see if it gave you the same id 9989?

Because I thought you could only really use letters... don't know what wadmanager makes it....if it still works and doesn't show as 9989 in anytitle deleter...
but i thought unique id was letters only..

This is what Wiibrew says... http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Title_database

Anyone really know?!

 

[icefireicefire]

According to somewhere I read it (wiibrew i think) it can be letters and numbers.

BTW, do NOT use HAXX as that is the HBC!

I would laugh...if someone did...

could you not integrate a select listsing ID something like a dropdown box that lists all known homebrew so you click say for example FTPii and it inserts that as channel name and defaults to FTPI that way they will all be standardised
obviosly keep the manual method aswell just thought it would be nice to have it as like a reference or something.

lol typos

The first PaRaDoX channels did use HAXX...

 

[IronMask]

Thats another good idea Wusel!

For 1.0 again

but actually this should be downloaded from the internet but that would be really hard to impliment.

btw, might just of found how to do sound...but probably not

 

[Wiisel]

HAHAHAHAHAhahahaha typical ive just learnt how to do it the old way just waiting for mrs to give my wii back

 

[icefireicefire]

I need my wii to test too

.

 

[lourens]

Ok, i looked at AnyTitleDeleter and it is
39393839 (9989)

And what is SFTC?
PS if it is the forwarder channel, i can not find it!

 

[icefireicefire]

It is the Unique (Title) ID you should use for SoFTChip.

EDIT: SOUND WORKS YES IT DID WORK YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!! I HAVE AN ENCODER NOW!!!!! YES!!!!!

splash screen is on your PC a nice logo when the coding is being done

 

[Wiisel]

the only downside i can see to it resizing banners to the correct size is we are going to see some channels with really mushed and distorted banners due to wrong aspect. on the plus its a good safety feature and not an issue as i work in these sizes by default

. including a readme and some blank banner/icons/logo for people to work to wouldnt be a bad thing

 

[RadioShadow]

Cool tool. *tries it out*

 

[IronMask]

As I mentioned before... if you really want to make a channel that will look descent in aspect ratio size is to start your image off close or the size of the required size for the banner... As some people said they have their photoapps defaulted to start at one of the required sizes...

So basically, if you are serious in making these type of channels you should atleast not be so lazy and let WADder do too much for you... sometimes the easy way out is not the best... this is an awesome tool and it will probably be used by alot of us... and I am sure if you are somewhat artistic you will figure out to produce the channels with quality channels if making it public.

Someone want to start a new WADder constructed channel thread.. (We know there will be plenty more threads about channels..) But this thread should be more on the developement side than for "advertising"... I know we are excited about Wizard IceFire's Magic Channel maker...hehe!

Good work Ice!

Sound support (re)coded (remember when I lost my code? Most of what was lost was the sound processing code...).

Release once I test
