It should work after v1-rc1 (where a bug affecting t64 loading on the Wii was fixed).

How does your directory structure look like? Do you have the

sd:/frodo/tmp/

directory and what does it contain?

Hi Simon,

sd:/frod/tmp/ doesn't exist

I have sd:/frodo/images/ sd:/frodo/themes/

sd:/apps/frodo/tmp exists but is empty

I created the sd:/frodo/tmp/ directory and now it loads the .t64 files properly

If it matters: this was a "fresh" installation, I didn't have frodo installed before, as i just started out with wiibrew

How did you install it? Uncompressing the tarball should give you the /frodo/tmp directory:

drwxr-xr-x ska/ska 0 2010-03-21 14:06 apps/ drwxr-xr-x ska/ska 0 2010-03-21 14:06 apps/frodo/ -rw-r--r-- ska/ska 9721 2010-03-21 14:06 apps/frodo/icon.png -rw-r--r-- ska/ska 2099648 2010-03-21 14:06 apps/frodo/boot.dol -rw-r--r-- ska/ska 0 2010-03-21 14:06 apps/frodo/frodorc -rw-r--r-- ska/ska 537 2010-03-21 14:06 apps/frodo/meta.xml drwxr-xr-x ska/ska 0 2010-03-21 14:06 frodo/ drwxr-xr-x ska/ska 0 2010-03-21 14:06 frodo/metadata/ drwxr-xr-x ska/ska 0 2010-03-21 14:06 frodo/tmp/ drwxr-xr-x ska/ska 0 2010-03-21 14:06 frodo/themes/ drwxr-xr-x ska/ska 0 2010-03-21 14:06 frodo/themes/default/

unless the uncompression program is broken somehow and doesn't create empty directories. Could you try to uncompress the tarball on your host machine and see if /frodo/tmp is created? If it's not I suppose I could create some dummy file there for the next version.

I installed via the brewbrowser app. I can try the tarball when I am back home later

OK, if it works out when installing manually, perhaps you could submit a bug report to the homebrew browser? The problem is that the empty /frodo/tmp/ directory isn't created. Frodo loads t64's via emulated disks, so it first saves a "converted" temporary file in /frodo/tmp/.

So it seems like it's a bug in the homebrew browser. I'll leave this bug open for now so that other people can see the workaround.
