This + rent TP and install it. After that you won´t need Zelda anymore to launch homebrew!

Disguises said:Some things is noticed: SNES9x no longer works correctly (can not find ROMS), Rin Doesn't boot at all. Is there a way to uninstall this channel correctly (by uninstalling tickets too)?
First time I tried to run the twilight hack..
After adding the save file, I put the homebrew channel on the SD card. (boot.elf)
I get the fat_readfile(boot.elf) failed with error -1 as well. I already formatted with the official SD card tool that wiibrew recommended.. Any ideas?
(PAL)
JoshuaJSlone said:Before messing with the Twilight Hack each time to get something running sounded like too much of a hassle, but I'll give this a go.
I don't suppose there are any utilities yet that allow you to bend the Wii's rules in ways other than just running arbitrary programs? Like something to allow you to backup and restore normally uncopiable saves.
That's neat. What about a tool to extract your legit purchased VC/WiiWare purchases and their tickets (and possibly reinstall them with WAD installer)?itxaka said:
Jocchan said:Do we still have any reason to be afraid of updates bricking a Wii that's been using stuff like this?
I'm seriously tempted by some of this stuff (like the pointer-controlled ScummVM and the ability to backup those savegames you couldn't normally copy on SD cards).

Yeah, the thing is, if I were to format the system memory, I would lose all transaction records, which means I'd have to pay for them again!itxaka said:No, no problems for the moment as you wipe the tickets, so it´s like nothing happened on your wii.
That is difficult. You have to dump your nand, search for them and convert them to wad.
Much easier to just redownload them again from the store.

JoshuaJSlone said:I know a lot of the existing homebrew is in pretty basic shape, or is older and only designed to run from SD cards through GCN's memory card, or installs as its own channel... but any suggestions on other things that are capable of working now through the Homebrew Channel, and worthwhile?

Unlimited4s said:Are those PAL bugs fixed in Snes9x yet? (too slow/fast, black&white in PAL60,..)
Well, the problem is that I can't use the 60hz mode if I want to see colors .radioheadrule83 said:That isn't a bug. If your console is in 60hz or 480p, PAL games will play too fast, in 50hz NTSC games will play too slow.
Unlimited4s said:Well, the problem is that I can't use the 60hz mode if I want to see colors .
(and I don't have component inputs)
Doesn't work . Still black&white over here .itxaka said:yeah, it´s fixed now on the link I provided. They had an issue with the 60hz until Emukidd provided the updated source code for proper output recognition
Unlimited4s said:Doesn't work . Still black&white over here .
Nice. Right now one must do a bit of setup work to get them going in the Homebrew Channel, giving them a directory, renaming their ELF, and making sure they have a PNG and description; I just used a generic one copied again and slightly modified for each thing to set them up. I suppose now that the Homebrew Channel is out it will become pretty standard to include that sort of thing from the get-go.itxaka said:
Easy_D said:So does the Homebrew channel's ticket get removed when you delete it like a regular channel? Because that's what it tells you to do when you want to uninstall it.
I don't want to leave any tickets on my Wii for future updates though, and to get it removed you need the WAD file so Wad Uninstaller can find it
Lazy version: Is there a .Wad out there for the new Homebrew Channel Beta?
Awesome, thanks!itxaka said:Really? Didn´t know, then...
Get Wii Filesystem Dumper
You will need a SD card with at least 512MB of free space in the Wii front SD slot.
Launch the program.
Wait until the countdown finishes or press A button in a GC controller.
The filesystem contents will be dumped in a folder called "wii_fs"
Then copy everything to your PC.
Now navigate to WII_FS\TITLE\00010001\*KEY*\CONTENT\
*KEY* is the ID in Binary of the channel.
To know which channel are you creating you can open 00000000.app with the notepad or an Hexadecimal editor to search for it:
Then you have to convert them to .wad
Get Waadmaker
Open it, it will ask for the Title.tmd. You can found it in WII_FS\TITLE\00010001\*KEY*\CONTENT\
Select it and press "Make title.wad" it will ask for an output folder, choose one empty folder as it copies the title.wad+all the files
There you go, a wad channel from your nand dump, with your ticket that you can install from the wad installer.

This rocks.
Anyone knows if it could work with a laser pointer ?
Ahh, thanks. Speaking of directory finickiness, FCEU freaked out when an drive:/fceu/roms/ directory didn't exist. Once I created it, it even allowed me to navigate to other directories, but without finding its default location to begin with I couldn't get anywhere.Scalpel Knight said:For those having trouble with save states in snes9x, just make the folder \snes9x\saves on your SD card (NOT in the "apps" folder, but in the snes9x folder in the root of your card). It doesn't make the folder automatically for you, so you have to create it - after that, you shouldn't have any errors and it will write and read saves from that folder.
It gave me FCEU-like troubles as well; ROMs need to be in drive:/snes9x/roms . Slots A and B refer to the GameCube slots; the one you probably want is called "Wii SD" or "Wii Front", or something like that. Though I did notice in at least one place where after flipping through the options it never presented the front Wii slot as a choice again.Crouching Zebra said:Okay, so I'm trying to boot Snes9x. It works. I'm using the current version above. For some reason, it won't read my SDCard or ROMs folder (yet it picks up the emulator .elf file, go figure).
Is there any reason for this? And what are slots A and B? What slot A and B? Lol.

Help, prease?
Also is it just me or is this thing exploding real fast?!? I am kinda worried that they will get pirated games to run on the Wii, with such an easy method it would be a bad thing for Nintendo. Meeeeeh..... the homebrew sure looks nice, and very happy that Snes9x is perfectly functional now.
