Ps3 Homebrew Emulators
Map Rousch
Not sure how yours is set up, but I have all my homebrew in a folder called Homebrew, then scanned into Aurora's db using Homebrew as the script data. I know Swizzy always recommends not using infinite scan depth, but mine has it without issue... yet.
When setting content & it's location etc you have option boxes that can be ticked to specify manually what that content is,i assume that's what your after as this should separate your hb from your emu & have them show up in the correct section
I also see my Hombrew and emulators only in Show all. I don't see them when I use homebrew and Emulators. Emulators I created but don't understand the filter adding thing. Also I don't know anything about scripts. I do have my emulators and Homebrew in one folder. How can I utilize a scripts so I'm able to toggle the filters with RB button?
So How do I create the Emulator Filter correctly? Do I have to add the names of each one I want to show up under that tab? I am just not familiar with the Script thing at all. Sorry for my ignorance....
The titles are separated into specific category's only after you hit the b button in the bottom screen shot,then place a tick in the appropriate box,i'm pretty sure that's right ,there maybe other settings there as well,however it's not like fsd which has separate cats so to speak,someone will confirm,i haven't got time right now to muck around on the 360 < edit:i mean my own 360
According to this, you still have script data set to applications on your Emulators. That's why you you have xexmenu sitting right next to MAME etc. Remove your emu from the content scanning section and re-add it with the correct script data (Emulators), then we can help you if you still have problems with the way the filter is working. You may also want to remove/re-add Original Xbox and Applications, Atari shouldn't be showing next to Predator.
I don't have Emu's on my system, but I have 360, Classic, GOD, and Arcade all set to no script data, then Homebrew set to homebrew script data, and I have no issues with pressing right bumper to show each category completely separate.
Actually, only if you uncheck the first one as the second one (the content scan) runs once you've started Aurora, the first one runs during the splash as it's kinda important that you don't launch a game or whatever while it's copying a TU to it's backup storage
So I've been playing around with it somewhat and I'm unable to get it exactly as i'd like it but it's close. I assume the reason my emulators and homebrew/applications can't be on their own quick view without mixing in with each other is because the way they are categorized.
Maybe I can get some help with adding these and others Homebrew/Applications/Emulators to the data base. then they can all be categorized correctly. Also the Artwork can then be uploaded. i'd even make the box art.
My XBLA games are in their own XLBA folder, separated from my Xbox 360 games but since there is no script data category for XBLA I have to leave this in None when I am scanning the path. In FSD3 I didn't have this problem as I could mark the path as XBLA when importing it.
Modifications like these can be done with Utility Scripts once 0.6b is released, until then it's only possible to do by either adding custom script data (and adding that to the quickview) or editing the database manually
Many people have a Wii console they no longer use, and it can be very quickly and easily modified to become a kick-ass emulation machine. In fact, the amount of cool stuff you can do with a Wii will surprise you. If you have an SD card knocking about then you have everything you need to do the mod in a around 5 - 10 minutes. If you can unzip files on your computer and copy them to an SD card, you can do the mod. It's easy!
This is a long thread, but don't panic, you only need to do the first few steps. I've gone into a lot of detail because Wii modding becomes addictive, and once you done the emulation stuff, you'll want to explore more. How about connecting a USB hard drive full of your Wii and Gamecube games, as well as the arcade versions of F-Zero GX and Mario Kart (if you legally own the arcade machines of course) to your multi-region, Netflix compatible Wii that also plays DVD movies?
You need a Wii, a computer with internet access and an SD card. High capacity doesn't work for the mod process, low capacity SD cards are harder to find new, but you can pick up a 2Gb SD card from CEX for 2. Once the mod is done, you'll be able to use a big capacity SD card for your roms. You'll want a Wii Classic controller because of the button layout (The Wii Remote is fine for 2 button games). You can use Gamecube pads, the Wavebird controller (turn it on before starting up the console or it won't work), but the Wii Classic Controller has the most appropriate button layout. Homebrew doesn't work with 3rd party controllers so make sure you buy official Nintendo controllers.
Perform a system update when prompted to get your console on the latest firmware. This will update you to version 4.3 of the console firmware. (4.3E for a European Console, 4.3U for USA, 4.3K for Korean, etc.)
Turn off the Wii console. Open the flap on the front of the Wii to reveal an SD card slot. Put the SD card in the slot then switch the Wii back on. On the main Wii menu click the icon in the bottom right corner that looks like an envelope.
The screen will go crazy with white text on a black background, then you will get a professional looking welcome screen. This screen stays on for a good 30 seconds or so before telling you to press a key on the remote to continue so please be patient.
Now you have installed "BootMii as iOS" and "The Homebrew Channel" you are all done. Remove the SD card, then you can reset the Wii, or use the Home key on the remote to exit this application.
That's the mod all done. Told you it was easy! You don't need the SD card files any more, so if you want to use that SD card for emulation, just delete the files from it. I would suggest using a 32Gb SD card from this point, because this is going to become addictive.
Running the Homebrew Channel now will display a screen with animating bubbles, but nothing else. This is because you have a blank SD card in the console and the Homebrew Channel is for running Emulators and Applications that you copy onto your SD card into the APPS directory. So now we need to download some emulators, copy them onto the SD card and play some games.
When you download an emulator, it's usually in a zip/rar file. When you unzip it there are usually 2 directories that you copy exactly as they are to the root of the SD card. The Wii looks in an APPS directory for the emulator itself, while your roms, screenshots, cheat files etc go in a separate directory in the root of the SD card.
What follows is completely optional, but Wii modding becomes addictive! Once you start, you'll find there's loads of other cool stuff you can do. The trouble is, many of the guides online are out of date now, so what follows is a current method to make your Wii the most valuable device under the telly.
(Note - The following sections are written in the same order I would recommend you install (for example, by installing Priiloader before a custom iOS, you get brick protection so you can fix it if anything goes wrong. Also you need custom iOS installed before you start doing WII/Gamecube games from USB, for example. I don't recommend picking and choosing here - it's all dead easy, so you might as well do it all. I have written out all the steps in extra detail and it looks like a lot of words, but the entire rest of this guide will take you about half an hour, so please do every step in order, and don't skip bits.)
Highly recommended- Priiloader is an app that replaces the first part of the system menu that gets booted. This loads before the actual Wii menu appears on the screen, allowing installation of custom themes, region free gameplay and brick protection. I recommend installing this before you continue down this list because if anything did go wrong and you break your console, it's easy to repair it by booting the bricked console into Priiloader. As well as all this, Priiloader does the best thing ever - it lets you turn off that annoying music on the Nintendo Menu! You can easily make the entire console region free, and ignore OS updates from disk games - Priiloader does it all!
Priiloader also allows you to boot the Wii directly into an app. For example, you could tell Priiloader to boot directly into MAME instead of the Wii Menu, if you were putting your Wii in an arcade cabinet, or boot straight into a USB loader, as covered later in this guide.
Install Priiloader by downloading it from the link above. As with the emulators you already downloaded, the zip file contains an APPS folder, and you need to copy the contents into the APPS folder on your SD card. That puts the Priiloader installer program in your homebrew channel. Run the installer, and follow the prompts on screen (just just press + to install Priiloader). If you get any errors about loader.ini or password.txt, don't worry, these can be ignored. Your Wii will reboot in the Priiloader menu. If it doesn't, power off the Wii, then power it back on and hold reset while it's booting until you see it.
