It's so pretty full!

It even auto-updates! This thing being added to my apps faster then a midget can run from a T-rex

[Skyground95]

this app looks awesome! ;) unfortunately, I can't use it, because of a problem to intialize network on my wii :(

[James0x57]

Thanks ZiT!

@Zetta_X lol, thanks =P

@skyground95 Sorry to hear that!

I'd love it if someone could use their fancy shmancy capture card and take a small 1min-ish video for me so I can finally use my James0x57 account on YouTube..

I just feel so lame pointing my crappy web cam at my tv. :<



Also, I added a readme and switched it to zip since for some reason everyone seems to use zip instead of rar. (Why?!)

Thanks man! =)

[ZiT]

Is not an additional function of the code added to this APP?

[James0x57]

I'm sorry, ZiT, I don't understand your question.

[ZiT]

Code Edit > OK!!
Code Add >  No

Will you be added to "Accio Hacks" in the future?

[James0x57]

Ohh! Okay, sure thing my friend. I'll add that in after the next update! =)

[ZiT]

OH!!Yes!!

If it is added, it is perfect ;D

If it added, it is exactly Wii Action Replay!!

[James0x57]

Well, it can't boot games, unfortunately. ;)

I'd have to work with brkirch for something like that. (and I'd LOVE to do so.. Brkirch?) Link might know how to help with that too..

Do you need to boot games, or could you just automatically call Gecko OS?

[James0x57]

I did originally plan to have an option for booting to GeckoOS but I ran into a bunch of difficulty on that path.

That was 1 year ago, when Accio Hacks was a week's work away from being where it was when I released it a few days ago. (Like an idiot, I put school before learning, creativity, and creation.)
Anyway, now I've got a seemingly worthless bachelors in computer science to show for the delay. (not getting a job SUCKS)

But I digress.

I think booting Gecko OS would be a great option but it would be way cooler to boot the games. =P

[christian.remboldt]

Awesome work. This is much more polished then either of my attempts at this software. I agree with you sentiment that booting the games directly would be perfect, but in the absence of completely incorporating geckoOS, a boot option would be very sweet.

Id add boot geckoOS and geckoOS mod options to the main menu after exit to homebrew channel. This would allow for creation of one custom channel for Accio Hacks. That could handle everything cheat related with out need for entering Homebrew Channel

Code Select Expand

u8 *bufPtr = 0x92000000;

int size_of_file
FILE *fp = fopen("path to file starting from root","rb")
fseek(fp, 0, SEEK_END);
size_of_file = ftell(fp);
fseek(fp, 0, SEEK_SET);
fread(bufPtr,1,size_of_file,fp)
void (*entry)();
entry = (void *)relocateDol(bufPtr)
IOS_ReloadIOS(correctIOS)
//Do clean up stuff, like deallocating memory
entry();

This code should be helpful if you want to try implementing the boot geckoOS option again.

I have never made a custom channel before, but this would be a good reason to try it out. If I come up with one I'll let you know. I think a forwarder channel is the best option that way if you update the software the end user doesn't have to reinstall it.
