Re: New Exploit - 15 years ago
Quotedarklinkyeah bannerbomb wasnt working for some ppl maybe thats why they released that exploit but htey still should have waited though -.- Why wait? It'll either push back Nintendo's next update while they check their fix on this exploit doesn't kill Wii's (prolonging the life of BannerBomb), or it won't make the next update anyway... Took them one heck of a lonby whodares - Offtopic
Re: Why Does Wii Get All The Crap? - 15 years ago
QuoteSifJarI'd say HVS know the wii more than twiizers, seeing as they have access to the official SDK, and info from Nintendo and stuff like that. No offence to twiizers, they're pretty awesome. Actually, they probably don't. The SDK will most likely hide the technical details in the same way as libogc hides things from the homebrew developerby whodares - Offtopic

Re: Playing music while playing games? - 15 years ago
Yes, you'd need something to install the hooks before loading the game. Before you go getting too excited though, whilst it is technically possible, I would very much doubt it would run smoothly. Code hacks via Ocarina and GeckoOS only require a few instructions to overwrite memory addresses, therefore these a pretty much unnoticable. However, loading MP3's off an SD card,decoding thby whodares - Homebrew General
Re: Playing music while playing games? - 15 years ago
QuoteArikadoI know. And like I said, its impossible. I could give you a technical reason if you desire it. That's not strictly true. We argued this case with the guy who wanted a video recorder. You can add a callback hack on the video or joypad interrupts before loading the game. However, you will receive performance issues, and may incur other issues during the game (such as running out ofby whodares - Homebrew General

Re: original homebreww games on this site - 15 years ago
You can either install the Homebrew Channel (HBC), or put the games (one at a time) in the root of the SD card and execute the Twilight hack. The HBC is probably your best betby whodares - Getting Started
Re: Whats your favorite operating system? - 15 years ago
I really liked Windows 2000 despite the number of security flaws in it (I was never affected by any of them). There's also an operating system called Menuet -- -- which is pretty cool. I've not tried any of the latest updates though.by whodares - Offtopic

Yeah, I read the stuff on there, but I didn't find a copy of the image they used or any of the "advisories" released during the game. Maybe I just missed themby whodares - Offtopic

Re: The Argon Homebrew Channel - 15 years ago
I'm assuming there would still be some remnants of the homebrew channel in memory as it launches your program; but I suppose you can't really rely on this. Maybe you add a check to the SD:/apps/your app/boot.dol; This way they'd need it on the SD card and the SD card in the machine (which is what a channel install is designed to get around). Of course, these aren't infalby whodares - Offtopic
Re: Total Homebrew N00b, Just Got It Yesterday...Have a Question... - 15 years ago
It involves creating a banner (as no real toolset has been released to the public, these are edited banners from other channels), and installing the app, with the banner and a NAND loader using fakesigning (or other exploit) Technically, you could get away without installing a banner, and you'll just get a black screen in your channelby whodares - Getting Started

Sorry, not quite sure what you're asking for. Are you asking how to read the input to accomplish this, or how to make a character jump?by whodares - Offtopic

Re: WIIbrew/Homebrew channel can't install - 15 years ago
As you have a mod chip, try burning the installer ISO from the Homebrew Channel siteby whodares - Getting Started
Re: wii backup - 15 years ago
It is possible if you have a NAND chip reader like Infectus. You'd need to take apart your Wii to do it though. Another option is to wait for BootMii, which should allow for recovering from most bricks.by whodares - Homebrew General
Re: Argon channel - 15 years ago
Read this Basically, they distribute illegal software, you have to buy their mod-chip too, and you need the Twilight hack anywayby whodares - Homebrew General
Re: Toolset or creation documentation for animated channels? - 15 years ago
Looks quite good. I definately think what's slowing down my LZ77 is redimensioning my byte arrays, if I swap it to use a MemoryStream, it'll probably be quite a lot faster.by whodares - Homebrew General
Re: Toolset or creation documentation for animated channels? - 15 years ago
Tools->Options->Text Editor->Basic->General, or something like that. Have you got a link for Atmacana's LZ77Stream? Might be worth a lookby whodares - Homebrew General

Re: Questions About Wii Homebrew... - 15 years ago
Aren't these the same questions yet again? 1. If your modchip supports Trucha discs, yes. If not, no. For the sake of 50p or whatever a DVD costs these days, why don't you just try it? 2. None are known yet, that's not to say it'll always be that way Just grab the ISO from here -by whodares - Getting Started
