how to run my program directly from my computer to the wii ?

Post by virus7 » Fri Aug 19, 2011 8:27 am

I wonder if i can run my program after compiling it to the wii directly by a usb cable or something instead of having the trouble of putting the program on a memory stick and run it on the wii every single time I want to change something in the code ?? and i don't like using emulators .. it does not give the right feeling as if i run and test the program on the console it self

You need the Homebrew Channel - devkitPPC comes with wiiload which will send your binary directly to HBC over a cable using a usbgecko or over TCP/IP on your home network. Most, if not all, of the wii examples have a run target which launches wiiload, you'll just need to set the environment variable as needed.

Code: Select all

wiiload v0.5
coded by dhewg

set the environment variable WIILOAD to a valid destination.

examples:
	usbgecko mode:
		export WIILOAD=/dev/tty.usbserial-GECKUSB0

	tcp mode:
		export WIILOAD=tcp:wii
		export WIILOAD=tcp:192.168.0.30

usage:
	/opt/devkitpro/devkitPPC/bin/wiiload <filename> <application arguments>
You can either set this variable in your Makefile or add it to your environment.
