The forwarder channel for the Open Shop Channel.
This forwarder is based on code provided by GBAtemp user FIX94. FIX94 posted a thread in which they provided the source code for their Configurable USB Loader forwarder channel. Thank you, FIX94!
You should NOT install this forwarder by itself- other software is needed in order for the Open Shop Channel software suite to function properly.
Visit https://oscwii.org for download links and installation instructions.
This application attempts to load and execute /openshopchannel/downloader/boot.dol from the SD card on the user's Wii system. Because this application only loads and executes another application, it is known as a forwarder.
If the application fails to set up SD card access, open the target file, or read the target file, it will launch the Wii Shop Channel to the page /error?error=FAT_INIT_FAILED, /error?error=DOL_OPEN_FAILED, or /error?error=DOL_BUFF_FAILED, respectively.
This application is automatically installed by the Open Shop Channel patcher software, although WADS are maintained here.
This application is meant to be installed as a hidden channel, and should be packaged as a WAD. If installed correctly, the channel will take up about 1 megabyte of the system NAND, and will not occupy a channel slot in the System Menu.
An example of a correctly packed WAD is included in the releases section, as well as the unpacked WAD tree with the correct title metadata and ticket. The example WAD was created with CustomizeMii, and is based off of SifJar's "Base 1" base WAD.
