Hacking WiiSX channel!

[Forsaekn]

I've created a sharp looking banner with sound for the up and coming PSX emulator for the wii (WiiSX).
It's currently injected with the early unofficial build (rev46) from svn on google code, and can easily be updated with newer revisions as they come!

I hope you all like it, feedback/comments/suggestions are welcome
**UPDATED** WiiSX (rev46) Channel WAD: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=309HSSLV
*tweaked the color scheme a bit, looks even better than the previous.

Mirrors:
Rapidshare: http://rapidshare.com/files/154732663/WiiSX_rev46.wad.html
SendSpace: http://www.sendspace.com/file/d69tig

Isos must be placed in /PSXISOS and memory card files will be created in the root of the sd card upon first run.

Ps. if anyone can explain to me how to set intro/loop points in sound.bin I can reduce the size of the wad by about 1mb and make the channel loop the sound indefinitely.

Note: Im lazy and dont feel like making these look like they would in the system menu, so here are the images i used

Enjoy!

did you make this channel from scratch with new banners etc, or take it and inject the new .dol into it from a french forum?

 

[Forsaekn]

from scratch

 

[djdynamite123]

is this the new .dol which arm the holdness had, if so i already have it

 

[Forsaekn]

Im not sure which revision he has, but this is the newest as of today (10/15/08) revision 46. The revision doesnt matter much to me at all, I just wanted to make my own custom banner Im satisfied with and share it with others so that they may enjoy it too.

 

[djdynamite123]

where did you get the .dol from? can you tell me please.

 

[Forsaekn]

you can get it a couple places, but the easiest by far was on youtube. 46 seems to be the most recent from svn, but its still from mid september and compiled a week or two ago...

I've used wad manager to install the rev file and when I go to the homebrew and boot the emualator the screen just takes a dump on me with some errors... what am I doing wrong...this is the first homebrew app i have had trouble with...and I have tried all of them...as well as the beta backup launcher...this one is the one that gives me problems right now..Even when I try to access it from the WiiMenu after injecting the wad it still crashes...does this not work for 3.3u NTSC?

FINALY, iv wanted this for some time, thanks mate

 

[djdynamite123]

have use noticed any difference in this revision??
i got GTA1 working orite, without sound, but crashed after few minutes, and the pad controls were wrong.

 

[Brian117]

PSX = PS1 amirite? ._.;

 

[Screemer]

jap, you are.

 

[Brian117]

Ok thanks,

So will this emu support CDROM support? I hope so, cause I have a memory card that can't hold shite. So putting roms on there wouldn't work.

 

[Screemer]

it seems they are working on a dvd-rom support. just put images on a dvd and you are good to go. but i am not shure about that.

Screenshots of the banner and the channel picture would be nice

 

[jeremiz]

and what about USB support ?

 

[Screemer]

usb 1.1 could be a little slow...

I've updated the first post with some preview images. Showing what the icon looked like in the system menu proved difficult, I was debating between making an animated gif or just showing the two images it fades between, but in the end I couldnt find a decent rez icon layout so I just hosted the images used.

According to the Google Code project page implementation is planned, but they're more focused on getting the emulator to run full speed and with reasonable compatibility before they start adding new features.
