Re: Ogg Player - from file or buffer example - 12 years ago
Consider this, You want to play a song from a buffer, so naturally you call this function and put this buffer as a parameter. For the majority of cases this would work, but what if the first two chars in this buffer are 0x4F and 0x67. Then, instead of playing from your buffer, it calls a function PlayOggFromFILE(buffer). Then, since it isn't a file, your program crashes. Wouldn't it jby g_man - Coding

Re: maybe using a bootmii folder from someone else can get bootmii on the wii without hackmii installer - 13 years ago
Along with having the bootmii folder, you need to have bootmii actually installed on the wii. What problems are you getting when you try to install bootmii from the hackmii installer? If the installation seems to work, but the files aren't appearing, try a new SD card, some don't work.by g_man - BootMii Beta
Re: Few Questions about Brick Prevention. - 13 years ago
For Bootmii boot2 to be effective, you need to make a backup of your NAND. If you don't have one, and your wii bricks, then you may be able to access the HBC, but you still won't be able to get to the system menu. If you don't have enough memory on your SD card, then try moving all the files to the compiter so that all that is left os the Bootmii folder. If you still don't haby g_man - Getting Started

Re: Network Library - 13 years ago
Do you know about BSD sockets? If you don't, here is a good tutorial . If you already know about socket programming, then sending a file isn't too much different than sending a text message. Instead of sending a string of text, you just use a pointer to a buffer containing your file. If you need an example of something similar, then make a simple program to download a website (Look at tby g_man - Coding
Re: Installing EUR versions - 13 years ago
1. If you don't have a NTSC wii, I'm fairly sure you won't be able to run any of the NTSC games, meaning you won't be able to install homebrew :( 2. No, this isn't possible 3. There is an app called Gecko OS which allows you to run any region games without modifying your system. Sadly, you won't be able to run this unless you have homebrew installed I don'tby g_man - Getting Started
Re: Iniana pwns won't work - 13 years ago
are you sure your not using a SDHC card, they don't work for exploits. If it is a regular SD card, then try a new one, some cards just aren't compatible.by g_man - Getting Started
Re: Install HBC using only HackMii Installer? - 13 years ago
No, you must use an exploit. You don't have to own the game, you only need it for a few minutes to use the exploit.by g_man - Getting Started
Re: What is the difference between BootMii and Boot2 - 13 years ago
You shouldn't have to worry about bricking your wii unless you start downloading a bunch of dangerous software, most of which is not allowed to be discussed here(Backup loaders, etc). The rest of thr dangerous software is clearly marked. As a general rule, if you don't know what it does, don't use it. If all you want to do is play homebrew games, and watch movies, you have nothingby g_man - Getting Started
Re: What is the difference between BootMii and Boot2 - 13 years ago
Boot 2 is a piece of software, written by nintendo, that is part of a few programs that boot the wii. Bootmii, is piece of software written by team twiizers, which has two versions. The boot 2 version is made to replace nintendo's boot 2 software. This allows many things for homebrew most important of which is the ability to backup and replace all of your data in case of a brick. The other vby g_man - Getting Started
Re: testing gravitii control styles - 13 years ago
I'm hoping to get an iPhone version out by the end of the summer, my friend is learning iPhone programming, and hopefully between the two of us we can figure everything out. As for making an android version, I'd have to learn java, so it may take a little longer.by g_man - Testing Corner
Re: testing gravitii control styles - 13 years ago
doodinthemood: Thanks for the support, it really helps motivate me and my friend. Also, that final screen is currently just a placeholder until I can think of something better. owen: I started to develop a level select screen a while ago, and I still have the code for it, but I need to tweak it some. Maybe I'll work on that today.by g_man - Testing Corner
Re: testing gravitii control styles - 13 years ago
Thanks for all the feedback, I know the curret control style isn't great, so if you have any specific suggestions they would be appriciated. Also, I have gotten most of the original features I wanted to add in, so I will start with some of the suggested features. I have thought about a level designer before, but i'm not sure how best to make one. Would you rather have one on the wii thaby g_man - Testing Corner
Re: testing gravitii control styles - 13 years ago
Thanks for the reply. If you try out the latest version on wiibrew.org, I have the B button thing that I think you were talking about. You're right, It makes it much easier to play, and I myself can get sick of clicking and dragging a lot. I also watched the video, and as for the new ball, I have tried various sizes larger, but all seem to be a bit too large, and take up too much of the scrby g_man - Testing Corner
Cannot edit Wiki - 13 years ago
I recently tried to edit a page on the wiki, but it tells me i can't edit it until I confirm my email. I enter it into my account setting, change my email, and save it,but when I leave the page it resets, and I still can't edit the wiki. Does anybody know a solution for this?by g_man - Feedback & Support
Re: BootMii doesn't seem to like mii. - 13 years ago
run the HBC installer again, but when you go to the bootmii part, make sure you hit prepare SD card. This will place the necessary files on you SD card to run bootmii.by g_man - BootMii Beta

Re: BootMii suddenly doesn't like my SD card - 13 years ago
There could have been an error on the SD card that was fixed when you plugged it into the computer. Maybe your computer noticed this, and fixed it without telling you. Just an idea though.by g_man - BootMii Beta

Re: Networking issues and whatnot... then SMB hopefully - 13 years ago
If your sharing the internet access on your laptop with your wii, then you shouldn't have to do anything on the wii side. I have done the same thing successfully with an Xbox before. The only thing is that you might need to give your wii a static IP address, as the windows computer my generate an incompatable one. Assuming the test succeeds, you should be able to just use the Ad-Hoc side ofby g_man - Homebrew General
Re: Wii Classic Controller and SNES - Delay - 13 years ago
Does the delay occur in normal games? If you can't try it on offcial games, try this homebrew. I haven't tested it for the classic controller, but it worked fine for my nunchuck. If there is still a delay, chances are that its a faulty controller.by g_man - Homebrew General
Re: Homebrew Channel Apps not showing up - 13 years ago
the micro SD shouldn't make a difference. Make sure that the path is SD:/apps/app_name/boot.dol You could also try a different SD card, some are known to not work with the HBC. If you have a USB device plugged in, then the HBC might be trying to read apps from there. If this is the case, then take out the USB drive and try it again.by g_man - Homebrew General
