[Feature request] Loader-channel creation from within cfg-loader.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It would be absolutely awesome to have the functionality of creating forwarder 
loader channels (like those made with crap 
[http://gbatemp.net/t151174-crap-easy-to-use-channel-creator]) directly from 
the game list in Configurable USB Loader.

This functionality would, when run on a title:
1) Extract opening.bnr from the game on hdd.
2) Bundle it with a forwarder dol to load that particular title.
3) Set the channel id to gameid with first letter changed to U. (Or something 
similar.)
4) Pack all to a channel wad.
5) Install said channel to SM using cIOS, or any other appropriate method.

Last point is optional, and you could just put the channels in a predefined 
folder for later install with wadmanager or such.

2) should be expanded with: Replace gameid in forwarder dol from template to 
gameid of selected title.

If this were to happen, could it be performed like a batch file on a PC?

What I mean is that the forwarder DOL/WAD should open up Configurable USB 
Loader, select the target game, and press what ever button is set to Load.  
That way, all the options could be kept, even Ocarina v2!  It would also give 
the HDD time to start up, so certain users (like me) wouldn't have to load the 
channel twice!

This already is the case with the Crap made forwarder channels I'm talking 
about. They launch the game in question with the options that are set in 
cfg-loader.

WRONG SIR!
It does not launch Ocarina v2, AND it doesn't give the HDD time to start up.

If this was to happen, it would have to be locked behind some kind of 
child-safe mode or as a manual config setting or something, simply due to the 
risk of people rolling in and installing WADs on your Wii, which of course 
always means the risk of bricking.

Sorry about that last comment, it should be redirected to the man who told me 
it was not possible.

Making game forwarding channels that use cfg to launch them using crap does the 
job fine.
There are no plans to add channel creation in the loader.
