I'm a windows programmer and I've been investigating the sneek problem of only being able to "see" the first few channels on sneek. I think I have an idea for a solution, but I don't know how to program wii homebrew (nor do I have any real motivation to learn).
The wii system menu (both real and emulated) stores it's channel positioning data in the iplsave.bin
ipsave file structure
The file is really simple and aside from a md5 hash at the bottom and a bit of non-changing header data it's basically a list of the 48 channels to display.
My solution to getting sneek to show more channels is real simple:
1. Make an app that prints a list of ALL channels on your nand (could be done via showmiiwads)
2. Make a homebrew app and channel that shifts the channels in ipsave.bin each time you enter it and exits back to the (emulated) system menu. The system menu refreshes the list and boom! You have new channels shown!
The interface could simply be two channels in the system menu... one who's icon shows a left arrow in the far left channel slot, and a channel with a right arrow in the far right slot. No visuals inside the app or anything... you launch it and it dumps you back to the freshly shifted system menu. When the shift occurs, it always leaves the left arrow and right arrow channels where they are.
So... good idea? Is it doable?
Thanks for listening!
