Please note: devkitpro creates malformed elf files - you should convert the ELF files of it to DOL.
Therefore: what you can do:

--> Go to usbgecko.com, download Gecko OS.. and copy the HBC folder in your apps directory as usual. Then from the DOL folder take main.dol and also put it into apps\GeckoOS___\ - delete boot.elf there and rename main.dol to boot.dol .

I also have made a quick package of Gecko OS 1.07b: http://wiird.l0nk.org/gos-hbc-dol.zip

To fix other ELF files - download DevKitPro please and run the following command on the elf file:
powerpc-gekko-objcopy -O binary boot.elf boot.dol

Big kudos to bushing and marcan... proves again! Homebrew will not appear by a "mere" shop update :)

Alright, I'm doing my best to follow instructions, but I'm having a little trouble. Previously I used Ocarina to put a cheat on Super Smash bros Brawl. The update rolled around, and now I'm trying to get my cheat working again. Seeing that Ocarina is discontinued, it looks like I need to use Gecko.

So, as instructed, I downloaded the most recent Gecko from their site: GeckoOS107b.zip.
I opened up the zip, and again, as instructed copied the HBC folder into my Sd cards apps folder.
The next step confuses me a little. You say to put main.dol into "apps\GeckoOS___\ ".
This is where I'm a little lost. Should I also copy GeckoOS107b into the apps folder? If so, which one: the one that contains HBC? Or the one HBC contains, because there are two...  
In any case, I expected that you may have meant apps\HBC\GeckoOS107b, and so I continued thusly.
I deleted the boot, and renamed main.

At this point, you explain you made a package, but I'm not sure what to do with it. Also, you say to take care of the other .elfs, use devkitpro. What other elfs? At this point in the tutorial, I have no .elfs anywhere on my sd.


Edit: In addition, I'm not quite sure how to use codes with Gecko.. Is there a tutorial or explanation someone can point me to? Or if it's simple enough, could someone explain it to me?

I tried all of the instructions up to this point, but I don't see anything related to GeckoOS in my homebrew channel...

What should I do?

All of my apps? The apps I support are only Gecko OS 1.07b - actually if you wish I can also do Gecko OS 1.06f - if you wish Ocarina.. do it yourself.. Ocarina is unsupported!
No...I'm saying all of my apps I use on the homebrew channel.

please take: http://wiird.l0nk.org/gos-hbc-dol.zip
unpack it into [sdcard]:\apps\geckoos107b

to use codes: just open Gecko OS in the HBC and select "Launch game".. the codes from ocarina should be taken!

Thanks Link! Now I'm loading Gecko sucessfully. However... I already deleted my cheats and gct file... So I need to create a new one. However, Ocarina isn't downloadable, and Gecko doesn't come with the promised PC software anymore. Where should I get codemanager or something that can create gct files so I can be on my way?


Gishnak

Thanks everyone! I'm good to go. :D

When you go to your HBC, it should update itself.

I downloaded devkitpro, but I don't really know how it works.

As stated above, I too have downloaded the devkitpro, but I haven't a clue on how it works :S :eek:
Cute but psycho, things even out.

in DevKitPro there is a file called powerpc-gekko-objcopy.exe - copy that in the same directory of your ELF files. Then use a command terminal (cmd.exe in Windows XP) (if you do not know how to use those: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_DOS_commands ). And browse to the folder the exe. Then run the given command.

Isn't that also included with WiiRD?
Not active but may still sporadically make codes.
