Home button menu

I'm sure this question has been asked before, but is there any way of accessing and using the Wii's standard home menu? I haven't seen any homebrew thus far to do that, and I'm wondering if it's something that would be accessed in a similar way to any other recurring Wii functionality like the channel graphics for wads.

I'm probably missing something fundamental here eh?

That menu is actually included in the distribution of every program that uses it. Unfortunately, it is not just a system function we can call.

It may be possible to use, but it's not exactly a good idea to include/require Nintendo code for our homebrew programs. Perhaps we should make a homebrew version or something, though :)

Actually there is a GRRlib based lib that does a home button menu clone.
You can even have an operation guide.

I take it that the associated code for it is just part of the commercial SDK then eh?

I guess a homebrew mimicry of the same thing wouldn't be too hard to make... though it would be a pain in the ass to get people to adopt it as a standard. And you could add a button on screen to go back to the loader used rather than to the Wii main menu.

By the way, hi. I'm DW. I've taken an interest in Wii homebrew lately.

y halo thar DW

It's funny, because I was just thinking I'd need to make this for my own project, and was wondering the best way to make it pluggable due to all the varying game loop setups.
