Is there a forwarder DOL which once loaded, allows the user to choose which app to load?

Is there any Wii forwarder DOL which when i set up various paths for various homebrew apps, when i load it on Wii it shows a menu where i can select which app i want to launch?
Let's say, i have all these paths in my forwarder DOL

sd:/apps/fceuxtx/boot.dol
sd:/apps/genplus-gx/boot.dol
sd:/apps/snes9xtx/boot.dol
sd:/apps/mGBA/boot.dol

And i'm looking for a forwarder where i can modify for include various app paths and display a menu for select which app i want to launch.

Many of you will ask me "why you don't make a single channel forwarder for each one of these?", but my goal is wanting to launch various homebrew apps from a single menu on a single channel.

In short: instead of having single forwarders for "FCEUX TX", "Genesis Plus GX", "mGBA", "VBA-GX", i want only one channel called "Emulators" and when i launch the channel, i will be greeted with a menu for select which emulator load here.

Thanks.

Crazy intro or crazy intro video is the closest thing I can think of, depending how u set it up, but requires sd and possibly other forwarder channels be installed (but can be hidden channels)

My very first contribution to gbatemp before modmii was even an idea was XFlak's Crazy Intro Videos

Edit: also there's no reason why u couldn't launch crazy intro from a channel or the hbc, but generally it was designed to launch at startup via priiloader... actually it was so long ago maybe I should say preloader instead

@XFlak

Just checked this video and this is (almost) exactly what i'm looking for.
Do you still have the source, the files, or something of that "project" so i could try editing it?

    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
