Re: Booting Whiite linux with Bannerbomb - 14 years ago
MiKe Mini Kernel? You cant run mike without bootmii. This means making either a change to your boot2 or NAND. For best results install bootmii as boot2, and use the mikep5 mini kernel version specific to your tv. or install bootmii as an IOS and use the mikep5 IOS kernel version. If you still don't want to sack up. This kernel will probably load through bannerbomb, but you will lby linus - Wii Linux
Re: installing xorg for whiite - 14 years ago
Installing xorg to the newest distro from the gc-linux team, aka isobel. (debian-lenny-5.0+whiite-1.10.tar.bz2) Will take quite a few commands, and to my knowledge no tutorial currently exist detailing the process. Step 1: build the xf86-video-cube driver (http://gc-linux.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/gc-linux/xf86-video-cube/).by linus - Wii Linux
Re: How come bluetooth/Wii Remotes work with MiKe? - 14 years ago
MINI is used as a gateway to provide hardware access to MiKe. All the real work of making that hardware useful is done by the linux kernel and linux drivers.by linus - Wii Linux
BootMii on/off switch for HBC - 14 years ago
Install: export WIILOAD=tcp:192.168.0.7 ./wiiload bmoo.zip Installation assumes you have a /bootmii directory on the root or first partition of an SD card. Usage: Run application to change /bootmii directory name. The HBC channel icon will change from red to black signifying BootMii is inactive. Reasoning: I only use wii linux a small percentage of the times I turn the wii on. Soby linus - Wii Linux
Re: Q. Mounting a root file system with the /sbin/init file of a ramdisk? - 14 years ago
exec /usr/sbin/chroot . sh -c 'umount -l /initrd; blockdev --flushbufs /dev/ram0; exec /sbin/init' \ dev/console 2>&1 This is my new revised final line. I changed from ext2 to ext3 as well.

Re: Game genie help in fce ultra not working - 14 years ago
Read more carefully. gg.rom goes in the fceugx folder. Not the cheats folder located inside of it. And yes the game genie is emulated just like any other cartridge.by linus - Homebrew Applications

Re: Gecko OS and .gpf files - 14 years ago
QuoteGecko192.zip/doc/gpf file format.txtIn order to make a GPF (Gecko Patch File) you will need to use a hex editor. The file should be given named with the game ID and gpf extension and put in a patch folder, that is on the root of your SD card. Here's the patch file format as described by Nuke: "[1 byte] - Number of patches (hex) [4 bytes] - Patch Destination (hex) [4 bytby linus - Homebrew Applications
Re: Q. Mounting a root file system with the /sbin/init file of a ramdisk? - 14 years ago
In my understanding "chroot" changes the root directory "/" location. What I want to do is mount a new root file system, but it may still work. The problem is I cant test it, because I get kernel panic at the losetup line of my init file.by linus - Wii Linux

Hypothetically it should be possible to run wine through qemu and there by run a windows app, but with the wii's limited hardware I assume it would be dodgy and very slow.by linus - Wii Linux
Re: Benifets? - 14 years ago
Yes you can use a USB hard drive, but a lot of users are reporting that usb devices are being randomly disconnected. In regards to armboot.bin if you have the latest version of bootmii installed you don't need to replace it. And yes launching the ELF through Ceiling Cat's SD program loader works fine you don't need to replace bootmii.by linus - Wii Linux

Re: Google Chrome OS - 14 years ago
Google Chrome OS is a joke. Google is repackaging the linux kernel with a new windowing system and their browser then calling it a "new operating system". Xwindows works affectively and efficiently, and if by windowing system they are referring to the desktop environment. There are already enough choices to contend with any hardware limitations.

Re: Trying to work Cheat Manager - 14 years ago
If you are using notepad or many of the other windows text editors, that is your problem. wiicm and probably Cheat Manager use linux style carriage returns to identify the end of each line.

Re: Gecko OS 1.9.2 Does Not Work On Wii Menu 4.2 - 15 years ago
Gecko OS 1.9.2 will automatically use IOS 249 if it is present on the system. The current System Update installs a stub at IOS 249. This doesn't have normal IOS features and that is why it crashes. Solutions: First I would try Gecko OS 1.9.1 Download: I believe this will work because according to the change log version 1.9.1 predates the inclusion of the use of IOS 249.

mikep4 was released on 9/21, but here is my guide for mikep3. It covers how to install and use the mikep3 kernel with xwhite and configure wifi support. I'm not sure how the new kernel changes affect wifi setup, because I haven't tried it out yet. My assumption is that it would be easier.by linus - Homebrew Applications
