so long as you have the latest version of HBC, the official 4.2 update won't erase your homebrew... and there isn't any risk of bricking assuming you don't play jump rope with your power cord during the update and you haven't done any massive illegal fail modding of your wiiby mdbrim - Getting Started

I hear ya man... I think the only homebrew out there that has taken full advantage of the wii graphics package is this one here.by mdbrim - The Junkyard
oh no, it'll be open source by all means... and even with that i would love to get together with users of other libraries to help them understand what i did, and help them "port" it over to the other graphic libraries. you might not even need my help... ie just look at what i did for grrlib and translate yourself, but i can easily walk folks thru exaclty what i did and why and maybe it'by mdbrim - Testing Corner
awesome, thanks guys. I'm wrapping my GRRLIB "pluggin" that will let you draw your mii's with options. IE draw your mii as they are static. Draw your mii as they are but lifelike (blinking, and with a slight sway) Draw your mii with a random happy face, Draw your mii with a random sad face etc. The idea will be to have your mii's react, and to be able to easily do anby mdbrim - Testing Corner
Quoteok. lets back up a minute. My wii is already modded with the latest home brew channel and apps. I was simply wanting to add a custome startup screen which i will need to install priiloader and carzyintro to do so. when i dowload priiloader apps i need to install it in my apps folder of sd card card correct? then I start wii and go to homebrew channel and open priiloader......this will allowby mdbrim - Getting Started
yeah, never downgrade... upgrade to 4.2 like Daid said... you have 198 apps on your SD card? impressive.by mdbrim - Homebrew Applications

I've redone libmii to add support for all aspects of your miis. In addition to now being able to view all info about your mii in text form, I've also whipped up some code to graphically represent your miis. I'm going to release the new libmii along with the sprites and GRRLIB code for the graphical part. Fear not non-GRRLIB users, you'll be able to use the sprites and theby mdbrim - Testing Corner

QuoteScale parameters in GRRLIB_DrawImg seem to work in increments of whole numbers (ie. 100%, 200%, 300%) but they don't allow for partial increments inbetween. They also don't seem to draw anything if the scale is less than 100%. If this is the case for you then you are either using a REALLY old version of GRRLIB, or you are doing it wrong.

He knows you don't have any experience coding, and that you are just another guy coming in and asking how soon something will be done so you can start enjoying it.

I'm using GRRLIB, it does everything that i need it to do and more. I cna't speak for the other ones, but in know folks on here use those too and speak highly of them. They all can do pretty much everything you would need for a 2D sprite based game. If you choose to go the GRRLIB route, i can probably give you a few tips and help get you started...

the extractor works (worked for me at least)... that's how I noticed the dif in the new dump format and the old one. I think the extractor just dumps the data. I have not tried the installer, maybe that won't work because it looks for a specific format to install.

Suggest we rename this subject to have something to do with the Wiimote like "WPAD causing weird crashes" so that other folks with similar problems can learn from this thread and not skip over it because they think it is about GRRLIB. Just a thought...by mdbrim - Coding
im actually away from home this week (get back this weekend) but we have discovered that nintendo changed the mii format which is why the current libmii only does a few things correct (name, birthday, creator, etc) Once i get back, i'll continue on updating it to the new format so it can display your mii's that are on your wii. I can send you what i have so far when i get back asby mdbrim - Ideas, requests
you need the sd card in there to do MOST things homebrew. It doesn't have to be the same SD card you used to install all your stuff, but it can be. Beyond that, we need more info to help. Did you get the Homebrew channel installed or are you stuck at that part? Do you see bubbles?by mdbrim - Getting Started
there is a "SMALL" chance he is referring to the note on hackmii.com that says "if you have a brick, send us your stuff and we may learn from it" type deal. note i said SMALL chance... that's all i gotby mdbrim - FixMii
yeah, i'm using the data from the extracted miis, the data is different from what is posted on the wiibrew page and libmii was based on that code. I've been in touch with the maker of libmii and he mentioned that he never really got most of it to work. Either nintendo changed the Mii code, or the original stab at decoding it was incorrect. i'm dissecting my current extracted miiby mdbrim - Ideas, requests

turns out the data read from the wii on the miis is not correct... values don't match up to what libmii says they are... so, until I / someone can figure that part out, i'm just going to make a mii channel (more accurately this) for homebrew so we can make some mii's, store them on SD cards in a universal format and then have it be a library for other homebrew to use... then once wby mdbrim - Ideas, requests

QuoteI honestly feel that the quality of data that we get is not going to be worth messing around with 500 Wiis, hiring a programmer, and praying that the participants have an internet connection and can upkeep their Wii.
