Hacking Configurator for Configurable USB Loader

[Dr. Clipper]

I have a question about forwarder channels.

Until recently i always used the existing cfg forwarders for sd and usb (UCSF and UCUF).

But what i'm looking for is a difference in cfg-222 and cfg-249, regardless if the dol is on sd or usb.
I've used the forwarder from xflak, which forwards simply to apps/usbloader_cfg wherever it is.

But until now there is no difference between 222 and 249.
Because i have multiple HDD's an use both loaders, it would be easier if i could use f.e. the path: apps\cfg_222 and apps\cfg_249, and then regardless if it is on sd or usb.

I do not know if such forwarders already exist, but i can make them myself if i have to.

I have been making channels for several things, but what i do not know is how you can change the path where the forwarder should forward to.

Who can point me in the wright direction?

If you've got a forwarder that can edit the command line (Narolez' used to do it) then you can just send the ios=222-mload option that way.

also i think new HBC allows to pass these args via meta.xml, but don't know exactly how...

PUT YOUR ARG HERE


I've only tested it on CFG with game IDs but it works, so I'd guess you'd just add what ever arg you want wiiload style and it "should" work.

aha, learned something again.
But i gues this only works if you start from within HBC, and not if you use a forwarder channel?

Not until somebody starts building forwarders that read the .xml and parse that into and argument string. You might get some luck asking this of the forwarder makers as it isn't hard.

So, I can't find out how to get this to make the USB loader look for my games in USB:/Roms & ISOs/Wii ISOs. (The isos are located also in this directory and in subdirectories)
Help?

So, I can't find out how to get this to make the USB loader look for my games in USB:/Roms & ISOs/Wii ISOs. (The isos are located also in this directory and in subdirectories)
Help?

In the Global Options 2 menu you can set all path. To what I can see, custom path for wii games isn't supported. Anyway, all loader use USB:/wbfs/ ..

You can't change that.

Yep.

So the most configurable USB loader doesn't let me choose where in the USB drive my backups are? Moot. -.- Thought there'd be somewhere to change that.

ALL usb loader (under fat32 and ntfs) use the wbfs folder.
