Hacking YAL-binaries for injection into channels.

[PrincessPeach]

I would like to throw in a little useful information.

Refrain from using X___ as the start of the 4 letter ID. It won't matter for the most of you users, but some have downloaded MSX Titles from the Japanese VC.

Please refer to the Title Database over at Wiibrew.

So is someone going to upload their channels?

3 - the "time bug" that was in Wanin's first USB loader is present. Animal Crossing thinks it's January 1st 2000. Any of you guys with the C knowledge who wants to take a look at this, I would be eternally grateful, as this is the one channel I really want up to make it easy for my wife to access. Waninkoko fixed it in his pretty fast, so I can't imagine it would be really really complicated, but that's the voice of ignorance talking.

I guess latest version of gecko os has a fix for that... tonight I'll dig the source and try to apply it to yal...

Hello everyone. I'm new on this forum and I'm learning about create my own banner channel to use with YAL.

I used the tutorial above and I had a problem:

I use HBC wad as my wad base. I extract opening.bnr (mario party 8) and edit yal.dol with Hex editor. I extract wad and replace 00000000.app and 00000001.app for the new one.

I run VC injector, select 2 (PAL) and enter new id Channel RM8P.

When I install the new wad with Wad Channel everything seems to be good. But the problem is when I enter into HBC it runs MARIO PARTY 8 instead of HBC. I suppost is a ticket problem. How I create an unic ID ticket?

Thanks a lot for the tutorial and sorry because of my bad english :S

Cheers

I have personaly tested this myself and i am glad to say, I am happy with the results... 2 perfect working wads!

• Mario Kart Wii (PAL) - works perfect, including reset!
• Super Smash Bros. Brawl (PAL) - works, reset goes back to Wii Menu.
  

The tutorials have helped a lot with this and it was easy to do with no problems.

Well well well, I have succesfully created a Mario Kart and Tatsunoko VS Capcom Channel but it seems that I am having the same problem as everybody else with Wii Sports, Twilight Princess both extracted from WBFS and both won't open up in U8tools. .. Strange

 

[gunslinger]

I can't get Okami to work... Can someone else try it (and upload it, if it work

), please? Maybe I am to silly for this, but I followed each step of the tut. The vc.exe tells me in the last step "Could not open 000000.app"..... Mission successful!

 

[bolex17]

Make sure you have common-key.bin in your VC folder.

 

[gunslinger]

ok, the common-key.bin into the VC Editor dir? thanks. but was okami tested before (PAL)? hehe, i want to know it.

Attention:

YAL has the date bug, like the USBLoader 1.0.

I made a channel for Wii Sports, but the date was wrong!

I hope in a bugfix also for YAL.

That's being looked into ...

Has somebody already made channels for the most common games? For example:

- Wii Sports
- Metroid Prime 3
- Twilight Princess
- Mario Galaxy
- Wii Play

I have most of these apart from Metroid Prime 3 on my WBFS partition. I will make and add these wads to my site asap!

 

[HowardC]

Keep in mind the region DOES matter as different regions have differnt disc ids!

 

[snaker]

Is there any solution for the oppening.bnrs that dont appear at the channel menu and they appear as ? at data channel management?

 

[lillboden]

Some wads I made works perfect o my PAL 4.0 wii

Pal Wads

WII Play [RHAP01] title XHAP 5 blocks Reset work
Wii Sports [RSPP01] title XSPP 5 blocks Reset work
Mario Kart Wii [RMCP01] title XMCP 7 blocks Reset work
Excite Truck [REXP01] title XEXP 5 blocks Reset dont work

You know the drill

Thank you so much! The new version works great and the cfg options are a very clever implementation

@HowardC

I used the u8tool 10.1 to extract opening.bnrs, however each of them I tried gave me runtime-error '5': Invalid procedure call or argument. Any help? Thanks.

 

[DoctorWhosThat]

I have added new wads to my site:

• Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (PAL)
• Super Mario Galaxy (PAL)
• Wii Play (PAL)
• Wii Sports (PAL)
• WarioWare: Smooth Moves (PAL)

The link to my site is below in my signature. If there are any problems, regarding the site and downloads: try again later.

Just to report whilst i'm here, Rayman: Raving Rabbids 2 comes up with "please insert game disc" error when game has loaded. Works in USB Loader though, for some reason?
