Crazy thing to say I really haven't seen ANYONE have interest in truely modifying the Internet Channel WAD for Homebrew, but I'm here to show progress on a little test I've simply done to make a useful mod for this channel.
To start off, the project I'll call it, is Internet Channel Deluxe (still a work in progress name)
The idea behind it is to somewhat overhaul both the look and function of the channel, maybe to make it a little more useful. Now, obviously, this could only be patched if you install the WAD itself, however I've decided to try my best to study how it really works, and work on making a custom Internet Channel WAD.
The point of this, really in my opinion would be a novelty of a mod. Unsure if you'd say if it were cheating to add more code or images to the files, however, I want to try to make something that would be more of just a proof of concept that it would be possible to do something like this.
The Internet Channel's code (based off of my understanding) is from HTML, JavaScript, and CSS coding, which is also what most of the Wii itself runs on (especially HTML for the Wii Menus)
One of my theories is trying to think of a workaround that could load files directly from the link into the search bar. I don't know if this is possible, but if I could load custom HTML files that aren't apart of the original mapping, I could figure out a way to run an ACE like script (if possible) or even make a custom button that would just be a quick way to say if I wanted to run a Wiimmfi loader (I would put this on homepage, even though yes you can literally put this on Favorites)
Knowing that this channel would stay on the Nand, I do want to make this as optimized as I can, and even if I can also rewrite some of the Internet Channel code to make it more simplified. That's honestly the main issue I see here with this, as the Nand space is crucial really if you're using this on the Home Menu on a real Wii.
Overall a fun project that may be useless in the end, but I think the novelty behind it could have use, as the features I would like to add could be beneficial.
As a start, I've went ahead and replaced simple images in the background and such, but also wrote custom CSS code to fix a few oddities on how the text is viewed on if I were to use a different background.
Feel free to share your thoughts on this project. Again, I know there may be no point of it really, but I would personally love to know if this would be of interest.
