Gecko OS 1.9 released (channel hacking!)

[Volt7x]

brkirch has released a new version of Gecko a Nintendo Wii operating System that allows you to use cheat codes in your games, boot imports in the video mode you select and use a new GPF patch for customizing your gaming experience. Gecko works by itself, but when combined with a USB Gecko allows you to "hack" your own games by creating your own codes, replacing textures, taking screen shots and a lot more.

What's New?

Gecko OS 1.9

* Added channel loading with hooks, channel menu supports same database.txt format as AnyTitle Deleter MOD to replace the channel IDs with channel names (put database.txt at the root of the SD card)
* Ocarina works on channels
* ELF/DOL loading from geckoload now works
* Optionally the directory data/gecko can contain the codes folder, patch folder, gameconfig.txt, config.dat, and background.png instead of the root of the SD card
* GC memory cards are no longer detected as a USB Gecko
* Changed how exit works; if a loader other than the homebrew channel was used (or an old version of the HBC) it will return to the system menu
* Fixed a text overlapping bug that would happen if a disc error occurs and Ocarina is on

Gecko OS 1.9.0.1

* Moved rebooter to a menu item
* Fixed a bug that prevented the codes and patch folder from being found if in data/gecko
* Fixed a bug that caused a core dump if background.png is in the root directory of the SD card
* Language and video mode settings from WiiRD are now used if a game is started from WiiRD
* Fixed a rebooter bug that caused the currently inserted game disc not to show up in the disc channel

how exactly would you go about making your own codes with this?

You should probably link to the official download. http://www.usbgecko.com/Gecko19.zip

Sounds awesome, I can't wait to see this in action.

I've always wanted to see channel hacking done. this is great I can't wait for good codes to be released for some of them

lol a project could be started to make Smash 64 more like vBrawl xD

who would want to do that?!

☆ Sad, there's no new Japanese games that I want to get yet, it come's out around winter. =/ ☆

☆ I guess I'll still download 1.9 even though I don't need it. ☆

*ELF/DOL loading from geckoload now works

hey, is it possible to load the homebrew installer through that?

i mean, bannerbomb allows for running geckoOS, eh?

i'm probably missing something crucial. like, maybe, homebrew needs a specific memory placement and can't get through because of 4.0, or somethin like that.

still...hope?

Edit: also

* GC memory cards are no longer detected as a USB Gecko

yaaay, less need to point that out.

I downloaded this via homebrew browser, then I saw that I couldn't get my gcts working, so I just need to change the directories. I wonder if it's possible to revert the directories back to normal...
