Then I start the Wii menu in Dolphin, but my new channel is missing. Then I take the ticket and place it in /ticket/00010001/xxxxxxxx.tik (with xxxxxxxx being the title ID of my channel), I place the 000000xx files and the title.tmd into /title/00010001/xxxxxxxx/content/, and I put the banner.bin into /title/00010001/xxxxxxxx/data/ I then extract that WAD file and get a bunch of 000000xx files, a TMD and a Ticket. Lets say I have a WAD file with a channel (a homebrew I compiled myself, no illegally downloaded WiiWare or something).

Long story short - if I have write access to a Wii's NAND (or to Dolphin's /Wii folder from the host OS), is there any way I can install a WAD file manually and have it work?

Difference between graphics backends is huge though.I'm trying to write a particular Wii application that's supposed to run on a Wii, not on Dolphin, but during testing I ran into an issue on Dolphin that'll probably also occur on a Wii, and I thought that maybe one of the Dolphin developers has an idea how to fix this issue. OpenGL still workĭ3D issues seems to be fixed, couldn't reproduce it with D3D11/12. Using OGL and XFB to real seems to work normally, except for network. With D3D and XFB disabled looks normal but cannot launch homebrew enabling XFB to real made it look black, but didn't crash. Starts and runs normally, except when reloading or exiting with the Home button.Įverything works (including launching homebrew, returning to Wii menu, shutting down) except networking. This channel has been tested on the environments listed below:Īll issues in the Problems section are present. However, compatibility may extend to prior revisions or compatibility gaps may exist within ranges indicated as compatible due to limited testing. The graph below charts the compatibility with Homebrew Channel since Dolphin's 2.0 release, listing revisions only where a compatibility change occurred.Ĭompatibility can be assumed to align with the indicated revisions. This channel does not need non-default settings to run properly. Using Direct3D with XFB enabled will cause the screen go black, but the app stills work normally otherwise. The Homebrew Channel also supports USB and the Wii SD slot, which are properly emulated. The 1.1.3 release of the Homebrew Channel, which is now open source, has removed the anti-Dolphin code.ĭolphin does not emulate the official Nintendo memory card to SD card adapter, which is used to store applications to launch. There are other problems in pre-1.1.3 versions, which won't be documented here. The developers of the Homebrew Channel had placed traps into the program to prevent the Homebrew Channel from loading in Dolphin. The functionality provided by the Homebrew Channel is provided by Dolphin directly, so the HBC is not needed (except to work around Dolphin's broken Wii homebrew detection in some cases).Įmulation Information Pre-1.1.3 Black Screen

When launched from the Wii Menu, the Homebrew Channel will check for updates to itself and automatically download them if the user chooses to do so. It also accepts application uploads via a USB Gecko or TCP/IP (over Wi-Fi or Ethernet), which allows for quick application testing during development. The user then selects an application to launch by using a Wii Remote or GameCube controller. When launched, it displays a list of applications found on an SD card or USB drive. Once installed, it appears as a standard Wii Channel on the Wii Menu.
