Not very creative? Having trouble trying to create a stage that will impress your friends and enemies alike? Well, never fear, IGN is here… okay, that was terrible!
IGN has set up a webpage allowing users to upload and download Custom Stages to your SD card. From there, you can transfer them to your Super Smash Bros. Brawl game. Many stages have already been uploaded, including a few remakes of stages from the original Super Smash Bros for N64. And if you’ve created a stage you thought would be fun for others, you can upload it and have it rated.

Remember that awesome Homebrew Channel video? Well, its RELEASED!

The Homebrew Channel is a channel for launching Wii homebrew applications without the need to run the Twilight Hack first. It will list apps stored and organised on an SD card in a nice little GUI, which you can very easily customise with descriptions and shiny little .png icons all by yourself if you want. You can also launch homebrew apps via TCP (with a correctly configured PC) or USB Gecko. Both of those built in options make it extremely convenient for testing out new code, as well as a general purpose homebrew launcher. You’ve seen the video,
now try it yourself!

The Elusive Banner

May 18th, 2008

Posted by king_td

Custom Banner with Animation has come upon us. Here is the video proof from marcan

The Homebrew Channel was missing its banner in the video that Bushing posted some time ago. As making banners is quite complicated and can easily result in bricking, that part of the channel wasn’t quite ready yet.

Who am I kidding. I had the tools done (as evidenced by the working icon), I was just too laz^H^H^Hbusy to get the big banner coded up in time. So here I present what will most likely be the final banner in the completed channel.

The entire banner, down to the last byte, was developed using homebrew tools - no leaked Nintendo SDK utilities were employed, not even to reverse engineer them. Everything was done by staring at many other banners (or rather, at the files that compose them) and reverse engineering the System Menu code that plays them back.

One of the well known hackers of the Wii-scene (mainly for his Twilight hack), Bushing, has released a tool to fix semi-bricked NTSC Wii’s. Great work Bushing

By popular request –

I’ve made a disc which will hopefully fix any NTSC Wii that got bricked by an imported Mario Kart game (or similar). It is an ISO with one partition — an update partition — and it contains three files:

* IOS30-64-v1040.wad
* SystemMenu-v289.wad
* __update.inf:

System Menu v289 is the newest NTSC version of the system menu available on Nintendo’s download servers; it’s what you will get if you go into the Settings Menu and perform an update. I packed it into a WAD, and maintained the original, valid Nintendo signature, so it should be safe to install. (The disc, however, is fakesigned. This should not be a problem.)

I’m including IOS30 as well, just in case — it’s what this system menu uses. I would expect all systems out there to already have it installed, but hey.

Obligatory warning — I have tested this on 3 Wiis and it seemed to work fine, but I can’t make any promises that it won’t brick your Wii. It contains no safeguards; use this ONLY on an NTSC (US) Wii. If you use it on an NTSC/J or Pal Wii, it WILL BRICK you. (If there is a need, I can make similar discs for those systems.)

Good luck!

Old news for Japan users, but Nintendo has released it’s first batch of downloadable games for the Wii. Accessed via the Shop Channel, these games are downloaded as seperate channels, with varying degrees of support. Currently, six games have been released: Defend Your Castle, Pop, LostWinds, TV Show King, VIP Casino: Blackjack in addition to Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King.

The games vary in price between 500-1500 Wii Points. Nintendo also promises to keep us updated with downloadable content for nearly every game. Also worth noting: These channels do not affect anything on your Wii whatsoever. Your modchip/Twilight Hack is safe.

(Sorry PAL users. Your release comes May 20th)
