Loads files from the Front SD slot

txt-read is a simple app for viewing text files. Because I was lazy, I did not include a readme in the package. Therefore, instructions are listed on this page.

Please feel free to copy this onto your Wii news site, but please include the whole page.

From Google Code

A simple text file viewer for the Wii.

Features

Wiimote support

Front SD support

The display never breaks (by displaying too many lines than fit on one screen)

Uses the Wii's basic text console

What is being worked on

File selector (currently, you have to pass an argument with wiiload, eg wiiload txt-read.dol file.txt)

Partial displaying of long lines

Instructions

These are the instructions for the use of my app

To load it, you must use an app that lets you specify arguments. This currently means wiiload. So, it would be:

wiiload txt-read.dol file.txt

where file.txt is on the SD card.

The app will then ask you if you want to display line numbers. Press 1 for yes or 2 for no.

Then you can use up and down to scroll, and home to exit.

Simple, eh?
