Help Pete for distributing HDLC (by testing DiiLC wiibrew application)

[SonicHyuga]

If nothing major really happens then that's fine with me. I could easily back it up anyway.

Happy 100 posts for you!

I also just hit 500 posts!

So eventually Pete will be able to distribute both DLC and HDLC? Conanac, I have to say, you've really outdone yourself.

Nice Job.

[Oni-Neoxes]

Now THAT is amazing!

Just imagine, once it's finished:

"You have a letter from Vash!"

Containing a Santa Sack HDLC.

Thanks everyone for feedback/comments.

Vash -- I have replied your PM, thanks again.

fangirl squee -- Thanks for testing it, I hope everything works as expected.

AnimalForestFan -- Yes, now HDLC makers could ask Pete to help.

Several comments:

#1) when releasing WiiBrew, I strongly recommend releasing open source. It is a personal preference, but it can educate others (unless it is a very dangerous hack). AFAIK this one is relatively safe.

#2) The program appears to only download the US/NA Nintendo server.
It should be smart enough to get items from the EU or JP servers
http://nwcs.wapp.wii.com/ruu/rvforestdl_us.enc -- US / NA (currently the shopping cart)
http://nwcs.wapp.wii.com/ruu/rvforestdl_jp.enc - Japanese (currently the anniversary cake)
http://nwcs.wapp.wii.com/ruu/rvforestdl_eu.enc - EU / UK / Oz (currently the Wii locker)

Figuring out the most important one and merging it into the gamesave may be a little tricky. The game can handle multiple items but not at the same time (in Japan they released the "white" and "red" team hat on the same day)

These are all official Nintendo servers. You should also warn users that the official Nintendo giveaways are very short lived (usually 2 weeks). Once the Nintendo giveaways are over you won't be able to get them anymore
(and please recommend EZ_DLC_Install, which has a year+ of Nintendo downloads in a single program ;-)

#3) There is no official website for downloading HDLC.
This program uses "http://diilc.googlecode.com/files/rvforestdl_ar.bin" to download custom HDLC.
You should put a warning that you aren't using an official Nintendo server.
If you want to make your own website with custom downloads, that's cool, but please let people know what they are getting into.

I got this when I tired using it for DLC and HDLC...what am I doing wrong?

[King Zanto]

does it work on EU Wiis too?

[conanac]

does it work on EU Wiis too?

My expectation is yes it should work (assuming the RVFOREST.DAT structure for all regions the same between ACCF and ACLGttC). But I think you need to edit the file dlcsetting.xml (created by the tool if this file does not exist in the main folder or root directory in SD card) to point to the right folder (default folder for US version is "sd:/WIISAVES/RUUE" for using Waninkoko's savegame extractor and installer applications).

If you could test and let me know that would be great. Thanks in advance.
