Squidman (http://wiibrew.org/index.php?title=Homebrew_apps/Rebooter) has released rebooter for the Nintendo Wii which does exactly what it says on the tin :)


This utility simply provides you with a simple list of stuff to do. Hit Z to return to loader, or R to reboot.

I made this program because I was tired of having to walk up to my Wii and hold the power button for about 5 seconds for it to turn off, so I decided this would be better :) I am providing the code here because I really want to see this in every app available so we don't have to use this ugly thing ;)

void Reboot()
{
// Thanks to hell_hibou
int fd = IOS_Open("/dev/stm/immediate", 0);
IOS_Ioctl(fd, 0x2001, NULL, 0, NULL, 0);
IOS_Close(fd);

Wii Homebrew Loader Version 3 has this feature BUILT IN press the START button while in the menu? does this actually bring you BACK to the GUI of WHL when say im playing asteroids,wiipaint,RIN something that does not normally return?

thanks for clearing things up in advanced will test this now ;) and report back...


seems like the same as the reboot.elf in mag loader no? attached the mag reset elf for anyone curious ;) btw how does this co-inside with another loader?

ALSO:
there is NO READ ME FILE INCLUDED?

like i said the new whl wii homebrew loader vs3 gives that option bro ;)

press start it asks if you want to:

Return to loader
Return too WII MENU (WITCH IS REBOOT.ELF btw)
Restart loader
Shutdown WII

ill attach the MARIO THEME and new version of WHL by hell_hibou :P

IN ADDITION there is a ENGLISH LANG file you can add to make ALL text in english too i will attach that as well

HOW TO INSTALL LANG FILE:
Drag and drop the SYSTEM folder into your root after installing the new WHL v3 also attached and poof its in english

as a bonus i have included a previousley never released STARS THEME for WHL

to see a video watch this..

(note i HAVE HAD A WII RESET PROGRAM in some of my vids from 2 weeks ago you will see that same wii reset program by MAG loader.check my vids upload dates if you want.)

BTW i have chatted with the creater Hell_Hibou on MSN before thats how i knew this :P but anyways...

i will attach the files for theming,eng lang and the newest version of the WHL elf loader :P

PPS:

ill attach the MARIO THEMED version of the new one..

anyway have you installed this i mean where do the files go? because JUST a reset.elf is fairley worthless and i have had that since release of the original mag loader...i would have to imagine it does more than that? but there is not a READ ME file included :(

yea all this rebooter does is reset your wii, that was just a demo, you need to know how to code to get the most out of this,the released reboot.elf cant really be used for anything. he only released it because most of the homebrew outthere doesnt have a rebooter, like other emulators n stuff, i made the RIN emulator with a reboot option now. because that didnt have one

I look forward to seeing this implemented in the few ELFs that still don't have it (at least it's only a few of the ones I use). I think for the more experienced coders who have released multiple projects, it's not so much that they didn't know how to do it, it just hasn't been implemented yet.

Hopefully this will help out new coders though so they can have it built-in from the start, rather than having to implement it into a later release.
