Not 64 Channel Forwarder

Archived

I've spent all day researching and trying to create a channel (wad) for New Super Mario Bros: Wii on my vWii. Back when I modded my original Wii, it was pretty straight forward - I used WiiGSC to make wad files from the game .wbfs backups, and I had wads for several games (that ran through USBLoaderGX) as individual channels on the home menu. (Note: I don't mean a forwarder for USBLoaderGX itself, but I mean a forwarder for each individual game I run though it).

Now, I know original Wii .wads won't work on the Wii U vWii, but I found some programs that supposedly patch the wads to make them work on the vWii. So my idea was to use WiiGSC to make a wad file then patch it with this 'Convert2vWii.bat' I found. But now I just get a black screen every time I open my 'New Super Mario Bros. Wii' channel on my vWii.

There are also some other changes worth noting that could be causing this issue if it isn't just my perhaps incorrect way of making the .wad. I'm using CFG USB Loader instead because it allows me to run games from my SD card, which I'm doing. The game runs fine in the CFG USB Loader itself.

I've seen a post on gbatemp.net about making custom game channels for Nintendont for Wii and vWii, so surely it has to be possible to do the same with a USB loader for vWii. So, am I using the wrong methods and programs for making my vWii wad files, or am I screwing something else up, perhaps with my USB loader or SD storage. Are there better programs out there for making vWii wads?

I appreciate any and all help with this issue if anyone else has made it work!

I need to learn how to make forwarder channels (Wii/Wii U) and make one for wiisxr.

Have a look at these couple programs:

I think these are what you are looking for.

Hi,

Autohotkey always on top toggle. Help me to achieve 1K subscribers milestone.

I also found this:

(in the #2 post is a lot of information)

and this..

and this..

I have done some testing, but no success, probably I'm missing something about how the .dol, .wad and channels work..

If someone manage to create something with one of those tools, I can help with the graphics..

(Update)

I managed to create a .wad to install a forwarder using 'CustomizeMii' tool, the installation was OK, but the Wii freezes after the channel is started, last message in the screen is 'loading boot.dol successful'.. tested different options inside the tool, 'NAND Loader' and 'Startup IOS', but same result..

I will keep trying and report back..

Regards,

hate to bump an old issue but i believe mastershoes on darkumbra made a forwarder already using the base of the wiisx forwarder like he did for not64 with the wii64 forwarder
