I tried to open WiiMC+ with the official WiiMC Channel. Since the channel acts as a forwarder to apps/wiimc/boot.dol, I overwrited the files in apps/wiimc with the ones from WiiMC+, instead of creating a “parallel” folder apps/wiimc-plus. Here’s the step I followed in details:

1. Overwrite apps/wiimc/boot.dol, apps/wiimc/meta.xml and apps/wiimc/icon.png with the ones provided in WIIMC+V10B-SVN992.zip.
2. Ovewrite apps/wiimc/onlinemedia.xml with the one providied in YouTube EnhancementPackV2.zip.

Unfortunatelly, the channel fails to load WiiMC+ and simply returns to the System Menu.

After browsing through the WIIMC+v10B-SVN992 Enhancement Pack.patch file, I noticed that you hardcoded the path to apps/wiimc-plus in wiimc.h at line 13.

#define APPFOLDER		"wiimc-plus" 		//jhb50 to keep enhanced version files separate

So I reverted back this line to point to apps/wiimc and I was successfully able to start WiiMC+ from the original WiiMC Channel!

That said, could you provide us with two versions of the compiled boot.dol in your future releases?

– One to copy in apps/wiimc-plus : for those who want to keep both WiiMC and WiiMC+ on their SD card and start them with the Homebrew Channel
– One to copy in apps/wiimc : for those (like me), who simply want to “upgrade” their existing WiiMC installation and continue to start WiiMC with the WiiMC Channel.

Thanks a lot for your excellent work.
