HBB v0.3: Almost ready

Saturday, March 28th, 2009

HBB v0.3 has progressed to the point where it’s almost ready to be released. I am looking for people to test and post any issues or comments.

HBB Rev 8 is available for download.
Please do comment either in this post or on the HBB Dev website.

Edit: HBB has been updated to Rev 9 now.
Edit 2: HBB has been updated to Rev 10 which should fix issues when trying to download at first boot. You can download Rev10 also from HBB in the Demo section.
Edit 3: HBB Rev 11 is out which will most likely be the last Revision there is. HBB v0.3 will be release in 1 to 2 days provided there isn’t any major bugs found.

HBB updated to v0.2.5c

Tuesday, March 17th, 2009

17 March 2009 (v0.2.5c)

  • Fixed issue with utilities section that was causing it to be empty
  • Fixed zip progress issue

This update is just a quick fix for the issue that’s occurred when adding a new application to the utilities list. Also while I was at it I believe the zip progress issue has been fixed too.

Download HBB v0.2.5c or run HBB on your Wii to update.

Sunday, March 15th, 2009

So you’re starting to learn more and more about coding for the Wii and you’ve come to the point where you your variables to be more organised. This may be the cause if you have multiple objects on the screen that need to move around, etc. You can grab the PDF of this tutorial here: codemii-tutorial-11

You are actually able to put variables in structures, which mean you can have multiple variables in the one element of the structure.

Tutorial 10: Using the filesystem

Monday, March 2nd, 2009

It’s been a while since I put up a tutorial and I hope that by now you have a basic understanding of programming for the Wii. So that I’m able to keep producing these tutorials I’ll try to focus on small pieces of code instead of the whole application and how the code can be applied. The explanation of Simon was a bit too long ;). This tutorial is also a bit longer than I expected. You can grab the PDF of this tutorial here: codemii-tutorial-10

In this tutorial we’ll cover initialising the filesystem, creating/deleting directories/files and reading/writing files. Thanks to joedj for his FAT init code from FTPii v0.0.5.
