TetWiis Forwarder & Channel

Posted by pembo under: Wii Homebrew.

I’ve now created a TetWiis forwarder dol and channel WAD, created using the excellent CustomizeMii and the forwarder code from WiiMC.
As per WiiMC, The forwarder will attempt to use IOS58 if it’s present.

The forwarder looks both on the SD and any connected USB drive for /apps/tetwiis/boot.dol to launch.

I’ve tested this on my Wii running HBC 1.08, installing the channel using an appropriate WAD installer and all is good!
If you’ve any concerns about installing channels, please don’t do this unless your adequately protected with BootMii/Boot2 or Priiloader.

Tetwiis Update

Posted by pembo under: Wii Homebrew.

Following the successful rollout of BootMii Config Editor v2.5, I’ve now recompiled Tetwiis with the latest devkitpro and GRRLib (again this took a bit of time!).

This means I can now resume some development effort on Tetwiis, including adding a high score table, making it work from a USB Hard Disk as well as SD, and also adding in button repeat so you can hold down a direction rather than having to keep pressing, plus I’d like to save the menu options, and perhaps even make the backgrounds loaded during the game dynamic.  I’m also going to try and fix the sound loop bug.

Hopefully after adding these, some nice person might nominate this as a featured homebrew app on wiibrew as I’m sure it already covers off most of the required criteria!  To help this along, if anyone does nominate me, I’m going to record an up to date video of 0.2b and get this onto youtube.

Any release of this will be a while away, so don’t build up your hopes for something within the next couple of weeks!

BootMii Beta 5 Bugs

Posted by pembo under: Wii Homebrew.

If you look at the link below, you’ll be able to download a new bootmii binary to fix some of the bugs that were introduced in the latest version (beta 5) installed through the v0.7 hackmii installer.  Some of these being…

• FS#38 – After NAND Backup to SD card, when navigating to BootMii menu, and then entering SD option, FREEZE
• FS#338 – Autoboot delay broken
• FS#347 – Bootmii b5 freezes on uncorrectable ECC Failure
• FS#174 - Bootmii as IOS.. ignore some of the INI

Once downloaded replace the file in your /bootmii (or /~bootmii) directory and enable bootmii through the configuration editor (V2.5) if it isn’t already and you should be able to use boot delay 0 (zero) again!

BootMii Configuration Editor v2.5 Released!

Posted by pembo under: Wii Homebrew.

This update is available from the following link, or using the auto update functionality present within BootMii Configuration Editor v2.4.  To update from v2.4 to v2.5 simply start the editor from the homebrew channel and the new version will be detected and downloaded should you choose to update.

Download BootMii Configuration Editor

Changes in this release are:

• Implementation Of BootMii Switch functionality.  Can enable/disable BootMii through the editor by renaming the directory from /bootmii to /~bootmii and vice versa
• If /bootmii and /~bootmii exist you are given the option to switch the directories allowing you to use an alternate MINI implementation such as MIKE or cboot2.
• If bootmii.ini exists in both directories you are given the choice of which to edit.
• The homebrew channel icon is swapped depending on the mode to give an indication of the bootmii status.  A green circle indicates bootmii is enabled, a red circle indicates bootmii is disabled, and an orange circle indicates you are running in switch mode.
• Several fixes to resolve various minor issues.

BootMii Configuration Editor (v2.5) update!

Posted by pembo under: Wii Homebrew.

Pretty much complete now subject to a bit more testing and sorting out the release.

Still on for a weekend release.  Preview screenshots below:

BootMii Configuration Editor (v2.5) update information

Posted by pembo under: Wii Homebrew.

It’s nearly done – from the editor you can now disable/enable bootmii which ultimately renames /bootmii to /~bootmii.

If you’ve got a /bootmii and a /~bootmii then it goes into ‘swap’ mode where it’ll give you the option to swap the directories so you could have mike or cboot2 in the ~bootmii directory and swap it in via the editor.  The icon in the homebrew channel is updated to indicate the status (enabled/disabled/switch mode).

I’m hoping to add a bit more functionality and tidy it up before release, so expect this in around a week or so.

Bootmii Configuration Editor

Posted by pembo under: Wii Homebrew.

It’s been reported that there is a bug in the new version of bootmii when the boot delay is set to ’0′.  If you do set the delay to zero it will cause a crash, so you’ll need to load the editor and change the delay to ’1′.

Next – I’ve updated my devkitpro environment and just recompiled BootMii Config Editor in the latest version (after an hour or 2 of messing around!).  I’ve started work on an new build of BootMii editor with new features being added, including the ability to switch the bootmii directory for another, should you be using cboot2 or Mike instead of the standard bootmii binary.

This will most likely be v3.0 of BootMii Config Editor once its complete.

Until then, BootMii Config Editor v2.4 continues to work and can be downloaded from the download menu above.
