Hacking Handy PC Tools & Tricks for the Wii

[AbdallahTerro]

Here are 3 tricks that make Wii/GC channel editing and dol/elf testing more fun.

I thought I would share this in the Hacking section...

7zip file containing the custom executables and registry file:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/oon5vn7qmocbwo6/Wiiload_BNR_Player.7z?dl=0

Extract to "c:\windows" and double click "registration.reg"

Trick 1:
--------
1. Associate "dol & elf" files with wiiload.exe
(wiiload.exe has no icon, so I made a custom wiiload with wii icon)
2. Add wiiload to windows "Environment variables" using "WIILOAD" as variable and "tcp:192.168.1.x" as Value

Spoiler

(replace that with your Wii's IP - it's displayed in the homebrew channel - better having it static)

Spoiler

3. Start Homebrew channel
4. Now open your dols/elfs via double click

Trick 2:
--------
1. Associate "wad" files with customizemii
2. Now you can edit the wads directly via double click

Trick 3:
---------
1. Associate "app & bnr" files with wiiplayer.exe (wii_bnr_player with custom icon) dll files included
2. Open registry Editor and replace %1 with %CURDIR%

Spoiler

You can skip steps 1 and 2 if you have extracted the 7z in "c:\windows" and double clicked the registry file.
3. Now you can preview the banner files by just double clicking them

Enjoy
