need help here guys...i had just recently downloaded through HBBv0.3.4 the wiixplorer r23. i tried it but my HDD 500Gb could not be detected.

i tried to re-install my cios202 but still it did not work. the last revision which i downloaded from HBB also before this r23 download is working fine and detects my HDD perfectly.

in addition to this, there were several times wherein the wiimote pointer disappears

...i tried all the other functions...so far everything is ok until i tried to open a config language file of usb loader gx...just to try out if it will open or not but a code dump was shown.

anyways at this development, stage i may say this homebrew really is very promising. tell u what guys this is a very useful application to me...thanks to dimok, tantric, neorame and the other developers for making this homebrew.

Revision 32

Remember this great piece of software is still in an early stage of development!
If gbatemp raises an issue and it's confirmed, someone should record it officially

Project Homepage
http://code.google.com/p/wiixplorer

Download R32 (contains boot.dol, meta.xml and icon.png)
http://madtamski.com/downloads/wiixplorerR32.rar

Changes: *Added on the fly directory listing like in SNES9X GX (good for SMB directories
with over 1000 files ;P)
*Fixed MP3 Volume not changing.

Keep it up man, this is an excellent idea. Great work from the team!

 

[madtamski]

This build has fixed SMB browsing for me

Also liking the photo browsing and mp3 playback too!

This app just keeps getting better and better!

 

[SomeGuy2009]

this is awsome. keep up the good work. I tested rev32 just for a few and smb and local sd homebrew was launching without a problem. cant wait to see how it matures over time.

has anyone made a forwarder wad/channel yet?

be nice to have a scroll/wiimote mouse feel so you could highlight and select which to copy.

Few suggestions:

Use B button to go up a directory tree, it's annoying to scroll to the top to get to the parent directory.

Ability to select multiple directories at once for copying, - button would work just fine for that.

Otherwise this program is great, thanks.

e: Oh, and I forgot to mention: program seems to crash when opening some homebrew applications. I don't know if the fault lies in this program or the other homebrew programs I'm trying to load.

 

[UranusKiller]

it's due to the entry point in memory

 

[razorback78]

finally got the usb hdd working again including smb detection...currently using your r32 version. thanks again for this very useful application

Well, I've been trying this today for the first time and I have to say that it looks awesome!!!

Kudos to everyone involved in this project!

Just to report, a couple of issues / suggestions (running R32 here):

- When cycling for mount to mount (SD -> USB -> SMB), I always get a "Failed to mount" message for the USB drive. That is because the drive connected is a full WBFS. I think that what would need to be done here is a way to skip a certain device (in that case, the USB drive) and cycle as in "SD -> SMB -> SD -> SMB -> ... etc"). If not, I always have to go and change settings everytime I jump from one device to another.

- Pretty much every write operation in the SMB fails. New folder fails, delete fails, rename fails, cut fails, copying creates a file of the name there but with trash inside, and also ends with a failed message.

- I guess that, if possible, would be great to have either a mass selection feature (to select multiple files to copy) or, even better, a pop up after "copy" that would ask where to copy those files and then start copying them there. If not, what happens now is that I browse a deep structure in the SMB to copy a bunch of WAD files. I select one file, copy it, then browse to the SD to paste it there. After pasting and finishing copying, when I go back to the SMB share, I'm "out of focus" of where I was before, so I have to swim through the folder structure again, select a file and repeat. Image if this was to copy 10 different files...

- I noticed that when cutting a file from the SD to the SD, you copy it first, delaying the whole operation until it finishes. Could you instead "rename" the file to the new destination (in C language) and avoid the whole copying-and-deleting-source? That would make it a snap (1 second) to move a file!

- I also noticed that when copying a file from SMB it's quite slow... I guess it's a limitation in the SMB libraries or something, am I correct? I only achieved like 250 KB/s with a full signal strength between the Wii and the PC

In any case, this looks very promising! Thank you very much for your work and hope my reports help you to improve the software!

Good one, it happens to me with SMB, hopefully we could get a solution

Keep up the good work!

[bin01]

Dol support makes me wonder if this could completely replace the homebrew channel someday

 

[UranusKiller]

hah, nothing replaces the HBC completely
