hey folks,
I wanted to thank everyone for their hard work in this community. I was able to make some SRLs (Single Rom Loaders) based on the pre-existing work of Zorg (re-using his smash remix stuff without much change at all). Credits to the CustomizeMii, ModMii, wiimod lite and SRL (saulfabre) link developers/coders/etc.
These SRLs are for Mario Party 3 StarStruck, Smash Remix and MarioKart 64 Hooting Time (latest versions as of 3/20/2023)
You will need to source the rom and place them in their respective rom folder, renaming to one of the following, depending on what you use
StarStruck.z64
SmashRemix.z64
HootingTime.z64
These SRLS are design to have the forwarder wad installed on nand (available for Wii and vWii), while the games and loader themselves will live on /apps folder in USB drive (not SD card). You'll copy the contents of the 'copy to usb' folder to the root level of your usb drive. many thanks to xflak for helping me finally get the forwarder thing down:
the summary is that you create a forwarder dol with modmii, then use customizemii to insert graphics, audio, new forwarder dol and new title ID (advanced forwarding not needed for those 4 items i listed). customize mii will also put the audio/graphics in the proper format for the wad.
note, smash and hooting time are using the latest wiivc wii64 rice dol, along with limitvis=0 (starstruck using latest not64 with fb textures=1)
they will all take approx 60-90 seconds to load due to using nandpage, but the games themselves run great.
