I Think you should ditch the configurable loader and just use wiiflow! Wiiflow especialy the new version 2.1 running on iso 222 plays everything. I feel wiiflow is still the best USB loader.

Except you can't seem to create 'channels' using CRAP with a WiiFlow loader - the only one avaliable for me is 'Configurable USB' - unless YOU know a way to create channels for WiiFlow loader???

This is going Off-Topic, so let's end it with this post, mkay? They added this feature in one of the latest revs. So, if CRAP would be updated (if it isn't already) it should work...

Found a possible error for you to fix! RMT101 - Metroid Prime Wii custom game with gamecube artwork? I put the gamecube artwork where I beleive it goes - GM8E01 (Metroid Prime GC). Take a look at RMT101 back cover similar to gc cover, is this even a real Wii game? I think you should at least erase the disc artwork from RMT101 since it is now where its sapose to go! I messaged Lustar to see what he thought!

Anyone know where I can find a good PSD box cover template for NTSC? The more icons included the better, I like Autojaquettes, but it doesnt give me the same freedom that I get from just using Photoshop.

WARNING - Fairly NOOB question...I see that the WiiTdb website has GC covers, but I know that no USB loader supports GC ripping/loading. So where would be a good place to use these GC covers or are they used for things outside of homebrew? Like some PC applications instead?

I have a problem with one of my Hard Drives! Wiiflow keeps freezing and crashing after I scroll through some games, seems to get to one set of covers and then it crashes every time! This only happens on one Hard Drive and only with the SD card in! This has never been a problem before. Covers appear to load slowly! Problems started after I copied two games and then uploaded the covers Arc Rise fantasia rpje7u and Metroid prime trilogy r3me! I think we have a kurupt cover file! I searched around the forums and I have found one other people with similar problems mentioning the same game (Arc rise)! I'm gonna do so more testing! Seems to work great with-out the sd card in, so I would have to say its a cover issue. If anyone can shed some light on this, would be greatly helpful! This is driving me crazy!

Those pictures seem to be fine here, it was probably a corrupt download. Try removing all files named like this ID on your card and it should work again.
If you are using WiiFlow, this problem was fixed in the latest beta.

Edit:
Cherripez: Today I added 146 US full covers (512x340), including Marble Saga.

Thanks zorglub07! I am using the latest wiiflow I think on HB and I also have an old 1.1 channel installed! I tryed to update with newest hb wiiflow, and when I do it gives me a wiiflow folder with 2 files! Do I need to switch my old ones with these, and what folder do they go in! So anyway back to my main problem! I tryed erasing the suspected files with no luck! If I delete my cache folder everything once again works, till it gets half way in loading my covers back up! What do you think?

I have fixed the problem! I got it to freeze on the corrupt file (R4EP01) Endless Ocean 2 PAL. May of been the cache file or full cover file, unknown! I have removed the cache and full cover from this and re-downloaded it and everything is back to normal!
