Compiling the WIIMC Channel

[cadbusca]

I’ve modified the Channel main.c and compiled it using the makefile in forwarder, but the dol is only 900KB vs the 2915KB of the released version, and it does nothing when executed. The compile runs correctly with the following messages. What am I missing here?

First of all, are you aware that the source is only of the forwarder itself, not the “channel”? All the forwarder does is look for a DOL somewhere and load it. Assuming you get that part working, you’d then have to create a channel or inject the DOL into an existing one.

The WiiMC channel in the downloads section is a forwarder + channel + installer all bundled into one.

Thanks..I’m totally clueless about all this but since all I want to do is load a different dol (one for each WIIMC) then I’d prefer to inject the recompiled forwarder into the existing channel dol. Then I would have one installer for each special channel, each loading a different WIIMC. Any tips on where/how I inject? Thanks
