Brawl+ channel : a nice way to run brawl+ from any support (disc, USB, SD)

[Dantarion]

The thing I want to do is make a autobooting modified GeckoOS 1.9.2 that autodownloads Brawl+, and by holding a button displays a menu where you can select to run Brawl+ from your hard drive, or from SD, or from disc.

So its not posssible to play Brawl Plus without the original game or is it? Is The only point to these channels, to play NTSC Codes on a PAL?

plz do eet kind sir.

Does it need system menu 3.2 like you said? I've installed WADS on my menu and it 4.1. So is it just with this WAD that needs 3.2? I kinda want to do something to play Brawl+ from a USB Hard Drive because my disc has been acting up lately. I can't even play as shiek or zelda beacuse it freezes every time I pick them. So is this the only way to play it without the orignal disc in the disc drive? Or at least the only way you know of?

As I said previously :

I also thought about this in order to make a single ultimate B+ channel but i'm not a wii coder. I really don't know how to do that ...

As I said previously :
FIRST search on google and gbatemp how to play games from USB on your 4.1 wii and when you have succeeded on it came back here. I just explained how to play brawl+ from USB for people who already know how to use an USB loader.

Plz stop ask about this it's against forum's rules.

 

[stingers]

okay well...if i install the wad and everything...if I have the Wii in my disc, do I still need to use the snapshot codes and everything? or if I already have the newest set on my SD card can I just load the channel straight up and just start playing?

No need to use the snapshot codeset for using the channel that use's the brawl disk.

Snapshot code only works for the other channel. (The one were it loads from the SD card/USB card)

 

[V-K]

Hm, NTSC Brawl+ sounds good, but I need a NTSC Brawl on a USB device?

I have a USB Drive but I heard that I have to format it or something to make it run Wii games.
Is that right?

Thats still not awnsering my question. Is all I need is to use USB loader and snapshot? If thats true thats all you would've had to say. Well it appears I have no use for this. My question was not how to us USB loader, It was simply is it possible to play brawl+ from a USB hard drive- or device without your method or WAD. I don't need a tut on how to use USB loader.

Ok sry. So :
- no you can't play brawl+ from usb without the snapshot hack (this is not my method, it exists before)
- yes you can use the USBLoader you want (if it support the old ocarina), my WADs are just a brawl skined one than can only load brawl and not other games.

 

[Bladefist137]

Will this also work with 3.4e WII system or do i really have to downgrade to 3.2?

 

[grim mouser]

Yeah, I'm removing this channel that failed to install. I mean, it doesn't save you any steps. Let's see:

I have bootmii. so..

method 1: click wii, go to brawl+ channel, load up.

method 2: click on homebrew, click gecko, load up.


3 steps either way. >.>

Just pointing out, Bootmii has the option to boot directly into HBC. Along with changing Bootmii's settings (through PC or the Bootmii Config app), you can press the power button and boot directly into HBC. In that case, it's two steps:

Click Gecko, load up.

 

[Cero]

So first of all, do the prior requirement "be able tu run regular brawl from one of the 3 supports". We will not help you to install an USBLoader, but you can find help on Gbatemp for example. And when you have succeeded in loading games from USB/SD/Backup DVD, came back here and use the right channel (USB, SD Or Backup DVD)

Thanks for all the help. Now, I just have to get an 8 gig USB...

Just one more question. Does Brawl run faster or slower from a USB? And, will prolonged use hurt the USB in any way?

 

[Mister Winter]

Does Brawl run faster or slower from a USB?

Exactly the same.

And, will prolonged use hurt the USB in any way?

No.

 

[Darkconda]

Exactly the same.


No.

Yea I would think that running it from USB, would be better for your wii. Thank you for being nice and not getting angry.

So will this will run a a 4.1 wii with IOS36 installed? I need to make sure before I try this and brick my wii. Can anyone else confirm.? I do have preloader and bootmii installed, but I'd rather not go through that. Thanks for the help man.

"SD Codes Found. Applying"

And it's been stuck that way for a while now... I'll see what I can do about it but I'm guessing at least a few other people have had this happen too.

I can't install it using IOS36, I get "Installing ticket... ERROR! (ret = -2011)." Installs just fine with IOS249 though. I think that may have been a part of the patched system menu update I used, I'm not sure.

Either way I just tried it all again and it locked up again. :/

EDIT:
Holy crap installing with IOS35 worked.
... but when I go into the channel and it shows gecko it says it's using IOS249. And it locks up when I try to start.

God ****it. There goes my brawling for the night.

You installed it on IOS35? Isn't that dangerous?

 

[Superkid11]

Oh god. Dangerous how? Everything looks ok...
Plus I think it was patched in an earlier installation of mine.

I found a patcher for IOS36. Might fix it. Gonna check it out.

 

[PKNintendo]

I heard you could brick your wii by installing things into ISO's not named 36 and 249.

 

[Superkid11]

Well that didn't happen to me. The channel didn't work like it was supposed to but the Wii is fine. IOS35 was patched during another install of mine I think.

I used the IOS36 patcher then installed the channel using it. It worked. You can find it here.
(with my luck, the problem was already solved and this was linked to further back in the topic lol)

But once Gecko comes up it still says it's using IOS249... and the game still won't start up. Hangs at "Loading title.."

Fortunately Brawl still works when I start it normally.

 

[Dantarion]

This thread needs to be locked, and all of you people who don't know what they are doing need to go to GBAFail and proceed to brick your wiis.

PKNintendo, you have no idea what an IOS even is, everything you have stated is wrong.
SuperKid11, stop installing things while you still have the chance.

This thread breaks SWF rules on discussing homebrew, and goes deep into the realm of softmodding and backup loading. If youre going to post channels that support loading Brawl+ different ways, fine, but DONT SHARE/TECHSUPPORT HOW TO GET SAID WAYS WORKING ON SWF, people are just gonna bricktheir wiis.

 

[Superkid11]

Oki.
The installation I was talking about was getting ready to use a hard drive with my wii.

Also

No need to use the snapshot codeset for using the channel that use's the brawl disk.

Snapshot code only works for the other channel. (The one were it loads from the SD card/USB card)

... /facepalm. I really should've read the whole thread...

 

[Cero]

Thanks to this thread, I now have a working Brawl+ channel on my Wii that loads Brawl straight from my new 16 gig USB jump drive.

Thanks again, Mister Winter.

Another question. When I tried converting the latest nightly build into a .bin file, it didn't work and Brawl wouldn't open it, saying that it was corrupted.
I was using the latest Brawl+ tweaker and I named the .bin file "al_brawlplus5.bin".

But, when I used the one that was provided in the OP, it worked fine. I don't know what I did wrong and why the one in the OP works. Can anyone tell me if I did anything wrong and how I can successfully convert a .gct into a .bin file for the next time a nightly comes?

 

[DeadX]

would i have to reinstall this if i wanted to use a more updated version of the codeset?

 

[Superkid11]

Tried to start it up with cheats turned off...
Exception (DSI) occurred!

:x

And Deadx I think all you'd have to do is replace the bin file.

 

[Engo]

Does the DVD Back up channel autoboot Brawl with the ocarina on already or does it just autoboot the launcher?

EDIT: Nevermind, I tried it my self and it's definitely faster. Thanks!

 

[MaRRoK]

yay! ur cool! thanks!
epic win on the usb loadin Brawl+.

 

[cookieM0Nster]

You guys realize tat you cAn use comex's exploit to use this w/ o a snapshot, rite?

 

[Dan_X]

I would absolutely love if this channel auto downloaded nightlies.

I haven't bothered to install this yet, I have no problem installing wads, i've installd many. From reading, I've concluded that the Brawl+ channel is an older version of gecko modified to be a channel and to have a Brawl+ opening. Once in gecko I understand there's no custom Brawl+ image, correct me if I'm wrong.

Dantarion/ Bionic Sonic, I'd love you guys if you figured out a way to take this a step further and make it so that starting the Brawl+ channel autoboots, skipping te gecko menu, auto loading Brawl+. It would be even better if ou could update nightlies and what not right on the fly. This would make Brawl+ amazingly official, to see it on the Wii and have it load like this would be very satisfying!

Is this possible to do? I wish I was capable of doing it myself.

 

[Dantarion]

Its possible, I have it done already with Gecko 1.9.2, all I need to do is add usb loading support really.

 

[cookieM0Nster]

sounds legit, when you get that done, let me know and i will propose to you, Dantarion, lol

 

[Metakill]

OMG thnks so much, now i can play brawl+ with a DVD5 backup ^^
a question..
I can put Roy in this brawl+?

IIf you use the 5.0 snapshot, yes you can. and you need to have the correct codes in the .gct.

This is the GCT for Snapshot hack and File Replacement 3.5.1 (the one that fixes the info.pac), can you put this one on the page instead of the 2.1? cause it really irritated me that i couldn't use music names when i had the 3.2 (My laser is broken now so i cant load the new codes with BP) and now that i made this, i want to spread it to peoples who share the same irritations.

If it doesnt work, please inform me because i might have uploaded the wrong one, but i doubt it.

That's utterly stunning! I'm more excited about this than I am most aspects of Brawl+! This would make Brawl+ appear to be so legit, so official. You and Bionic Sonic (and ofcourse many others) have done so much for Brawl+, making so many programs to make things easier for the community, it's amazing. I can't believe you guys know how to do what you do, it baffles me!

I'm psyched for a potential fancy Brawl+ channel! If those of you who write programs for Brawl+ haven't been mentioned as an important contributing member of Brawl+ in Kupo's stickied code thread you seriously should be!

 

[freezinboi280]

this is great, cant wait to try this. now if only there was a way to load the codes from a USB instead of a SD card..
