Vectrex forwarders added.

@RunningSnakes

Thanks for your beautiful job with your Wii/vWii forwarders.
A question: want to help me test this work i'm doing in this new project?: https://gbatemp.net/threads/wii-vwi...aunched-from-wii-u-forwarders-project.615090/

 

[RunningSnakes]

I have only modified vWii. I have not modified Wii U. Ill be glad to help if Wii U mod is not required.

Well... I think you have need to softmod the Wii U...
Since I made SRLs to be bootable from the Wii U Menu, by installing WUPs (Wii U Channel forwarders) and then launching them, some using also sign_c2w_patcher.
Are you still able to help?

Vectrex forwarders added.

Thanks. What path is the forwarder looking for?
Alternatively, please tell me how can I know. I can't see any significant strings inside the wad file.

apps/ra-vectrex/boot.dol
apps/vecxwii/boot.dol

The path(s) are shown in the name of the wad. The first path is for my modified version of Hexaeco Vectrex i just released that includes working overlays and sound.

LedHead update. (Music)

 

[RunningSnakes]

Playstation update (volume fix) ... I have not yet updated path to new WiiSXRX 2022 ... waiting to see if the apps path will be changed.

------

OpenBOR update (volume fix).

------

Added forwarders for Wolfenstein and Spear of Destiny for Wii only.

I tested the vWii and they boot and play fine but when exiting the games, stack dump always occurs. This happens using Comex and Waninkoko.

 

[RunningSnakes]

Wolfenstein Wii update. Using RA ECWolf now.

Wolfenstein vWii added for RA ECWolf.

 

[RunningSnakes]

Amiga updated for both Wii - vWii.

 

[RunningSnakes]

Updated paths to stay current with newer emulators and also added a White set. I also added links to download complete sets for convienience.

 

[RunningSnakes]

Edit: ZX Spectrum fixed

Thanks for your job.

I've just installed some white forwarders and they looks amazing - much better than previous ones (for me, ofc). Any chance to get image of real hardware instead of mascots (at least for white set - background and flying titles would remain as is)?

Also two requests:
- Wiiengine (I know this is very old and not the best emulator) and DosBox forwarders
- custom locations hidden from Homebrew Channel for emulators, that uses whole folder in the root of SD card (eg. Wiistation na WiiSXRX - sd://wiisxrx/boot.dol, Not64 - sd://not64/boot.dol etc.)

Thank you for your appreciation, most of these forwarders took some effort. When initially making these, i loved the Gold look and still do.

My intention was to make the White set for vWii users since i thought it would really pop off the screen and not so dark. Then i realized how well the white looked on both Wii and WiiU.

Long story short, i agree the White set is superior to the Gold visually, the whites are installed on all 3 Wii's and my WiiU. Only WiiMC needs to be fixed, but i hav'nt had the time recently.

Yes, i can definitely make DOSBox forwarder and can add path for WiiEngine TG16 also. I'll see if i can direct the boot.dol path as you mentioned also.

Regarding request of using the real hardware art, it is very difficult to find HQ art for most. If you could provide a link to clean images, i would do my best.

Using just Bing images easy leads to high-resolution, transparent (or with white backogrund) images (just filter your results). Unfortunately, I can't say much about licences of that images. Some of them comes from free sources (eg. here is very good image of Neo Geo CD found this way), some from private blogs etc. Bing says "image might be copyrighted"... and nothing more.

In the white set i cant get the GBA forwarder to work with mGBA it gives me a black screen it works with the old runningsnakes forwarder its the one i use.

 

[RunningSnakes]

For Wii or vWii?

Also, are you using SD or USB?

 

[worm28]

Its on a gamecube compatable wii i tried it on SD i have mGBA on my USB too but i have not tried it.

 

[RunningSnakes]

Ok, looks like when i updated the forwarders i used v14 instead of v12 forwarding dol and it broke mGBA compatibility. Then when testing, forwarders always look alphabetically first for any acceptable path and i have emGBA also installed in my apps folder which worked. Sorry for this, it has been fixed, i will upload here very soon.
