Snes9xGX

Is it possible to launch Snes9xGX via Twilight Hack's ELF Loader or not?

i think you need one of the tools from Segher's_Wii.git to convert dol to an elf

if you get it to work, please share! -- PidGin128 as 65.190.210.163 23:08, 13 March 2008 (PDT)

Table Wiki code

was gonna make a chart but this one already exists. heres the code i stole.

Wii Homebrew Chart

Title	Creator	Software type	Loaders	Chainloader Install	Loader Return	PAL Modes	Required Accessories
Test Tesy
Tetris Wii	DesktopMan	Game	Zelda	Normal	L Button	480i/p	NGC Controller

also, fancy captcha is annoying. PidGin128 as 65.190.210.163 23:08, 13 March 2008 (PDT).

Don't you think we should add a version column?

It needs a column with the compatibility of the Wiimote.

Tar

Is it possible to offer a .zip download in addition to whatever tar files are provides? Not everyone has administrative privileges on the pc's they use. For instance even though I'm in college we are monitored heavily on what we use the library pc's for. it's against the rules to install programs on the computer. I would need to install a program in order to decompress any tar file. I love linux and would have a linux machine right now if my last one wasn't destroyed, but windows can not natively read tar files with the installation of some type of program. Windows, linux and macs all support zip files. Zip files aren't exactly too large, they're larger than tar, but not that much. When you're dealing with the file sizes this wiki uses a less capable compresser isn't really going to make you or break you when it comes to its file size. ~gametaku5@gmail.com

Use 7-Zip Portable from a flash drive to extract tar files. You don't need to install it. -- 86.41.192.208 10:50, 14 March 2008 (PDT)

GC SD and Wii SD slots hombrew apps

Is it perhaps best to now section homebrew to ensure they are identified as loading from the GC or Wii SD slot, even until they are perhaps updated to load data from the Wii SD slot?

Versions

I think it would be a good idea to keep the versions up to date in the table.

Loader return

I think its a good idea to say that if possible could dev's include someway of returning to the loader, otherwise you have to reboot you wii to exit

It only even takes 2 lines of code. Declare the function:

void (*reload)() = (void(*)())0x90000020;

and call it:

if(PAD_ButtonsDown(0) & PAD_BUTTON_START) reload();

and voila.

I strongly disagree with this design. Just do what normal cli applications do, they return from main. But that might not work at this moment. Also, that design slowly but surely causes a stack overflow by infinite recursion, not good.--henke37 12:55, 17 April 2008 (PDT)

Type in table?

Since every thing is sorted by type, why do we still need to keep the type of application in the table?

Agreed

Seconded. 198.166.12.229 12:52, 17 April 2008 (PDT)

Homebrew Debugging Tips

Are homebrew debugging tips appropriate here? For example adding --save_temps in the makefile. I can add some information that works for me if someone can help me find a place for it. --PaceMaker
