Ok... I finally figured out how to change the file extention for the forwarder channels through Customize Mii... I have just a few more questions... On Troys original channels he has a nice splash page when the Boot.dol is loading... How do I add that to my channels through Customize Mii... Any help would greatly be appreciated

Use his as the source wad, and then insert the new icon and banner from either an existing wad or yourself.

Question: I've been using the FVC SNES Channel WAD for awhile, it's great. But recently I downloaded a pack of roms, images, and an updated .dol that lets me choose my SNES game with a cover flow of cover art instead of a text list of games. This also required me to change the emulator folders on my SD card from sd:/apps/snes9xgx/boot.dol to sd:/apps/snes9x/boot.dol and change my sd:/snes9xgx/roms to sd:/snes9x/roms. Now when I use the FVC SNES Channel forwarder it just says "Now Loading" and then returns to the system menu. It launches fine from the Homebrew Channel.

So is there anyway I can update the path in the FVC SNES Channel WAD from sd:/apps/snes9xgx/boot.dol to sd:/apps/snes9x/boot.dol? Or should I just go back to the default text list of games if I want to keep using the SNES Channel.

download customize mii, run it, open the wad for the channel u want, then build a new forwarder path of your choosing.

If u install devkit pro, and copy over the libogc on the customize mii webpage, u will have the ability to create a complex forwarder, which which look for the program in multiple locations as well as allow u to select a splash screen when loading the channel

edit: btw, u realize your very first post ever was post #666 in this thread? jeez!

Thanks for the quick response, I'll try that out. And yeah, about the #666... geesh... rough start.

EDIT: It seems to have worked. There's now a DOS looking code loading thing after I hit start on the channel now, but after that does it's thing for a couple seconds it seems to load my SNES cover flow deal perfectly fine. Thanks for help.

Rencentrly I open this topic about making animated channels like the boot intro of each console.

This is the post:
QUOTE said:
Hi guys! I saw this WiiSX forwarder channel and was wondering if someone could make (or explain to me how to do it) similar banners for others emulators.

I have search already all the boot intros for all the consoles:
Nintendo DS - DeSmuME Wii
Nintendo DS Boot

Gameboy Advance - Visual Boy Advance GX
Gameboy Advance Boot

Nintendo 64 - Wii64
Nintendo 64DD Boot

SNES - Snes9x GX
The SNES doesn’t have a boot intro... but we could make one

NES - FCE Ultra GX
Famicom Disk System Boot

Sega Genesis - Genesis Plus
Sega Genesis Boot or Sega CD Boot

Sega Master System - SMSPlus
Sega Master System Boot

Sony PlayStation - WiiSX
PlayStation Boot

Neo Geo - GxGeo
Neo Geo Boot
It would be cool to have all the originals boot intros for each console on the wii!!

I try to use CustomizeMii, but I couldn’t find a way to edit the ".brlan" and ".brlyt" files for the animations.
I search and found this
blink.gif
.... this is the only way to do it? Or is there a much simpler way?
I guess that this is difficult to do... but if someone could give me a hint of how to do it (or someone is interested in doing it) we could get the work done!!

Thanks in advance!!

Here are a few more I did a couple months ago to match Troy's
MPlayer CE forwarder
I can't remember who's banner I stole to make it, but I will find it and give him credit on the MPlayer

ColecoVision forwarder
Colecovision screen caps included in the banner

N64 forwarder
New icon that isn't as glitchy, as well as N64 box art in the banner. Edit: now with a working dol, thanks xflak40

TriiForce forwarder
updated icon

Configurable USB loader forwarder
updated cfgUSB icon

WiiEarth forwarder
updated icon

Thanks Troy for the great forwarders.
I can upload a video if it helps tonight, but these all match Troy's originals as I've just injected different icons and banner images into his originals.

That one goes to sd:/apps/colem and usb:/apps/colem

This one will go to either colem or wiicolem. Same paths to both sd and usb for both emulators.

wiicolem or colem forwarder

Gambia, The
Hello, got a Question.
Anyone here who could make TTZ's Forwarders based on the NForwarder58 (I can give a Source .wad if required) because I like TTZ's Forwarders the most they are the best looking ones in my opinion.

Or could explain how I could change a NForwarder58 .wad to make it the same as TTZ's from the Channel look,
do I only need to extract the banner/icon/layout/animation and just replace them in the NForwarder58 .wad with the same settings (RGBA8 or RGB5A3 for banner Icon and so on)?

Or are there more things to do?

Hey Troy.
I love your forwarders! I've been using them for quite a while now but I had a question. When I tried downloading your Sega Genesis channel your Mediafire account did not work.

Neither did any of your other Mediafire links.
Could you fix them when you can? Thanks!

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:

    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
