Re: Has anyone got Crazy Intro to work? - 14 years ago
instead of theme=tree it should be theme="tree" (with quotes) also folder structure should be like below, sd:/crazyintro sd:/crazyintro/crazyintro.xml sd:/crazyintro/tree/ sd:/crazyintro/tree/(All the theme files...) Other troubleshooting hints 1. Open crazyintro.xml in internet explorer or another xml validating tool so that it's valid. 2. The width and height of the imagesby I.R.on - Homebrew Applications
Re: New Saved Data Manager - 14 years ago
You described the improvements I designed for FE100 :) (Never materialized though) Ftp suggestion is nice I think you can use it at least to get saves. Transferring to wii with ftpii needs added work, it can't write do nandfs... also one need a bit of more work to deal with the restrictions imposed on savefiles (needs researching) What I had originally devised was to use wiiload featurby I.R.on - Ideas, requests

Well freeing that memory definitely unneeded where I've used it... Yes indeed it leaks memory... Working with heap actually one always get more problems freeing memory rather than leaking it due to buggy libraries underneath though...by I.R.on - Coding

Re: Naming my app - 14 years ago
How about this name : Wiibrewser ? Wiibrew + browser Homebrew Browser PC could mislead people with a non existing affiliation from the app Homebrew Browser.

Re: Wii Update 4.3 - 14 years ago
QuoteAobxQuoteI.R.onThere is one just possibility for non modded wiis, it's the case where update is interrupted and you somehow ended up with the executable of the system menu but with no other resource files or with missing resource files... With that case yes you can semi-brick a wii on a non modded wii. But that's not a common case... By this interruption, you could also get a fulby I.R.on - Homebrew General
Re: Help me out with save conversion. - 14 years ago
To do that simply, 1. Extract your vc save using savegame tools, I don't have preference over any so can't give you a name... 2. Open vc save using hex workshop 3. Open your Snes blah blah emulator's save in that hex workshop too, flip each two bytes... (it's said that there is such a function in hex workshop) 4.

Re: Wii Update 4.3 - 14 years ago
QuoteSifJar Actually, from my reading of HackMii and WiiBrew wiki and other places, you don't need a chip to semi-brick with an out of region game. IIRC I read something on HackMii along the lines of you can't play out of region games, but you can update from them. It was talking about semi-bricks I think, and was saying how it wouldn't be much of an issue if you couldn't instby I.R.on - Homebrew General

Re: Banner Bricked Wii...please help - 14 years ago
There is a software mean that involves a modded drive and a bunch of games to fill the nand up... search for it if it fits you better than a nand restore using infectus... It uses the fact that once you are out of memory on nand and you try to create a rabbids go home channel from that game it just throws you to the data management screen to reserve some space... of course at that screen you cby I.R.on - FixMii
Re: Help me out with save conversion. - 14 years ago
QuoteSifJar the OP wanted to go from homebrew emulator to vc, not the other way round. As for getting this to work: Create a save in the VC version of the game, and dump it with SaveGame Manager. Then "flip" (no idea how to do this step, maybe a feature of hex editors?) your homebrew emulator save. Then open both saves in a hex editor, and add 0x00 bytes to the end of the homebrew emulator sby I.R.on - Homebrew General
Re: Wii Update 4.3 - 14 years ago
@SifJar : Well I don't think region protection only kicks in when you try to run the game, it should be the same for the update procedure too... Before 4.2 you would be semi-bricked if you updated using a different region game's update* because chips were able to fool the menu that the disc is in the wii's region... actually it isn't... And you were able to recover using sby I.R.on - Homebrew General
Re: Help me out with save conversion. - 14 years ago
He's talking about getting an emulator save working with virtual console... Flip thing he's talking about is changing endianness of data... Possibly Ninty's vc emulator uses big endian but homebrew emulator is using little endian... You need to do the opposite 1. Extract game save using SaveGame Manager Blah Blah (There are numerous apps for this job) 2. Flip and trim theby I.R.on - Homebrew General
Re: Wii Update 4.3 - 14 years ago
@SifJar : Any real evidence as to 003 brick fix with 4.3K Korean game? 4.2 introduced better anti-region free measures. So updating a PAL/NTSC machine using a game with 4.3K update through savemii should not be possible. Unless they removed the check that triggers 003 Error.. And in such a case user can simply update in recovery mode with a game that contains either 4.3E or 4.3P game (speaking juby I.R.on - Homebrew General

Re: Wii Update 4.3 - 14 years ago
@dacotaco : yes on top... have you ever heard osi model? Make an analogy from there... priiloader is an application whereas ios provides the infrastructure. ios abstracts the underlying hardware from you, you don't care about what make the network interface is, you don't deal with the internal specifics of the dvd drive, you don't mess with the low level access to the nand and so oby I.R.on - Homebrew General

It makes a differents it'll be nice to know. :) i think ppl fail to understand that , unlike preloader , priiloader does not need any patches in the system menu ios and therefor just works on almost all ios versions to date...by I.R.on - Homebrew General
Re: Syslog Client -- Working download? - 14 years ago
Good news is, here I mirrored the app : Bad news is : it's not compatible with new homebrew channel, it uses old wiiload protocol. Semi good news is you can still make use of the tool with a little bit of cheating... here is how... 1. Have a simple tcp server listening to port 4299 (wiiload port) on your pc, run this such as this one : (it's a lame .net console app) 2. Sby I.R.on - Coding

Re: LibMii Mod - GRR_TextImg Reference Undefined - 14 years ago
Well your approach is not right... the best place to put the mii rendering functions is Grrlib which I think is the main intention by mdbrim hence the naming of the functions starting with Grrlib... So, instead of trying to make it another library you can just create another file under Grrlib and add the functionality there... So it becomes part of Grrlib...
