Tutorial 12: Using Mod music / sound

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009

In this tutorial you’ll learn about adding music/sounds to the Wii. It’s a fairly simple thing to do and we’ll use Mod files. I assume everyone knows MP3s but you might not know about Mod files which are a little bit like midi files. Mod files in a sense have “samples” which can be used in different ways to produce sounds. You can grab the PDF of this tutorial here: codemii-tutorial-12

There are two ways which you can load music, either from the SD card or from your source. If you aren’t going to allow users to change your music or sounds, I’d recommend loading from your source, it just saves time and it’s nicer not have lots of files on the SD card.

  • Ability to rate applications and shows an average rating
  • Ability to queue applications for download in a download queue and download all at once
  • Ability to sort applications by date, rating and download count
  • Added background music (off by default, change loop.mod with your own music if you like)
  • Uses threads
  • Ability to move the cursor once downloading or extracting
  • Ability to cancel extracting process
  • Ability to work offline (by pressing the 1 Button when HBB is initialising the network)
  • Ability to hide installed applications from the lists
  • Checks for SD card to make sure there is enough free space before downloading each application
  • Settings now include show SD card space, check free space, hide installed applications, retreive my rating, background music, rumble, update icon and offline mode
  • Added lots of help screens
  • Added widescreen support (thanks Cashman)
  • Checks that server connected to is really www.codemii.com
  • Added check to make sure the SD card isn’t locked
  • Downloads all image files before loading HBB v0.3 the first time to make things faster

The Homebrew Browser has now been upgraded to v0.3. With this new version comes a much better design, usability and more information of applications. I highly recommend everyone to update and enjoy the new features.

Download HBB v0.3 or run HBB on your Wii to update.

HBB Updated Applications

Wednesday, April 8th, 2009

The following applications have been added/updated:

  • iiii updated to v1.2
  • Snes9xGX updated to v4.0.0
  • Visual Boy Advance updated to v1.0.8
  • WiiLander updated to v0.59

HBB updated to v0.2.5d

Monday, April 6th, 2009

6 April 2009 (v0.2.5d)

  • Uses domain www.codemii.com to connect instead of an IP address

Another quick fix for the homebrew browser, this time my host is moving me to another server which means the codemii.com IP address will change. I recommend everyone update as once the codemii.com website has moved servers, if you have HBB v0.2.5c or below, it won’t work. (I know, I should have implemented this feature eariler)

Download HBB v0.2.5d or run HBB on your Wii to update.
