    GCN Homebrew app FceuGX-GC: "some" ROMs not showing up.

    I looked into it a little more and it appears to be more of a GameCube memory problem than an emulator problem. I was able to solve the problem by using sub-folders within the rom folder.

    GCN Homebrew app FceuGX-GC: "some" ROMs not showing up.

    I run homebrew through GC-Loader, and have all my roms located in SP2SD2. I'm getting an intial error upon boot up of FceuGX. Something about too many items, ran out of memory. I initially thought it was too many games in the folder (1,037) but it doesn't make sense. It's not like it stops...

    Hacking GenplusGX 2D Box Art Mod!

    Sorry for the late response. I don't visit as often as I used to. It's important to realize that it doesn't matter whats displayed on the artwork. (3D, spine, flat, don't matter) What IS important is how the artwork is saved. All PNG files need to have a 32bit color depth. They also need to...

    Hacking GenplusGX 2D Box Art Mod!

    I'm guessing that when you booted through The Homebrew Channel everything worked as it should? If yes, then you have, what I'm going to call, a "bad" forwarder. Channel Forwarders are supposed to be nothing more than simple shortcuts for your homebrew. They're typically created to point at...

    Hacking GenplusGX 2D Box Art Mod!

    What you're doing is correct. But I'm unsure of how you modded your Wii. You may unknowingly be booting a dol from a different location. Are you trying to boot into genplus using a Channel Forwarder icon on the Wii's main menu, or are you booting into The Homebrew Channel first then selecting...

    Hacking GenplusGX 2D Box Art Mod!

    Sounds like your system may be booting an incorrect boot.dol file from an alternate location. With this file you won't ever see cartridges in the coverart region of the games list. The original placeholder cart images have been removed from the file. All you should see is a SEGA logo if the...

    Hacking vWii in 480p automatically?

    I messed around with it a little more today (connecting the WiiU directly to my monitor) and it confirmed a lot of what people have been saying already. The vWii resolution seems to be upscaling to whatever resolution the WiiU is set to. Whatever upscaling the WiiU is doing, the Xbox...

    Hacking vWii in 480p automatically?

    I wish I knew what was, because I'd really like to pass it through my Xbox, and vWii only ever displays accurately when WiiU is set at 480p.

    Hacking vWii in 480p automatically?

    Do you have proof, other than Joostins Settings Editor, that vWii mode is native 480p despite Wii U resolution? Because I also use Joostins Settings Editor v2.0, and even though it shows 480p option on every boot up, when you select currently loaded settings, it defaults to 480i, regardless of...

    Hacking vWii in 480p automatically?

    From what I've gathered, it's not that the WiiU has a crappy upscaler, it's that when the WiiU is set to 720p, or 1080p, the vWii defaults down to 480i mode. This 480i default is what's causing the vWii image to look horrible. It appears that only when you change the WiiU to 480p does the vWii...

    Hacking vWii in 480p automatically?

    Anymore information on whether anyone developed a patch for this? I currently like to play vWii games through my Xbox One's HDMI input port, (for various reasons) although when I do this, the image turns green. If I boot up vWii mode while the WiiU's resolution is set to 720p, or 1080p, the...

    Hacking GenplusGX 2D Box Art Mod!

    Yeah. The image file names should match the corresponding ROM names exactly. Also here's some image info that may be important.

    Hacking vWii emuNand Gamepad support?

    So I ended up trying something else. I dumped the vWii nand using USBLGX. Then I used ShowMiiNand to install a bunch of wads to it. Everything to that point worked fine... I think. I boot into USBLoaderGX using the WiiVC injected Forwarder.dol, and I can see the list of emunand games. When...

    Hacking Wii U Folders...

    Is there a way to associate an image with the created Wii U folders? I'd like to make it looks nicer than generic icon/text.

    Hacking Transferring Wii U games from USB back to SD.

    I spent a good portion of last weekend ripping my discs with disc2app, and installing them over to the USB harddrive. ...and I'm still not done. I was thinking about buying a large SD card and ditching the USB drive all together. Would moving those installed games be as simple as using the...
