Hacking Forwarder with meta.xml support

[XFlak]

confirmed, this is working great!

 

[FIX94]

Hey guys, please re-download the libs, there are some new fixes included, it should work on more usb drives now

 

[Fox888]

Hm! in that case, I am doing something wrong!
It keeps returning to the Wii Channels screen whenever I try to run it.

1. I have the latest Configurable USB loader installed and working from SD & HBC.
2. I placed the v7 forwarder WAD file in the a folder called WAD on the SD card.
3. I ran WAD Manager v1.7.
4. Accepted disclaimer.
5. selected IOs 249
6. Selected "disable" when asked to choose NAND emulator device (I am not sure if this is right).
7. Selected SD as source for WAD
8. Located the WAD and installed it.
9. Restarted.


The location of the Configurable USB Loader is in apps\usbloader.

What am I doing wrong please?

i'm having the same problem.
Running 4.3 and 1.0.8 brewchannel.

Installing IOS58 failed, but i this is available with 4.3 normally.

Hey everyone, the source code for v9 is now on the first site, libs are updated again and I've updated the splash screen version (untested).

 

[XFlak]

is anyone else having trouble downloading the v9 no splash source?

Thanks, great to hear everything works fine

 

[Jiiwah]

I just tested with a dollz of WiiFlow, works fine. So I updated all WiiFlow forwarders with this v10.

Many thx for your work

 

[Skyground95]

Can anyone compile v10 (with splash) for me? I don't have Devkitppc or any of the Libs, or any knowledge on how to compile

(Btw, great work Fix94!)

EDIT: Nevermind, found out that the Official CFG Loader Forwarder thread had one

Thanks, seems like you found the solution by yourself

I got this error below when I tried to compile the source code myself.(no splash version v10)

linking ... boot.elf
c:/devkitPro/libogc/lib/wii\libntfs.a(unistr.o): In function `ntfs_ucstombs':
unistr.c:(.text.ntfs_ucstombs+0x2a0): undefined reference to `__locale_mb_cur_max'
unistr.c:(.text.ntfs_ucstombs+0x2e0): undefined reference to `__locale_mb_cur_max'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

If I took out those "ntfsMount" lines from "devicemounter.c" and didn't link "libntfs" ,
everything was OK. (no problem to make elf/dol file and tested OK to load CFG program
from SD card or FAT32 drive)

I did copy/install libntfs files into "libogc" directory (same as libfat and libext2fs).

Does anyone know what did I miss ? (I use devkitppc r22 and libogc 1.8.6)

================================
I solved this problem myself by downloading the latest libntfs file from
http://code.google.com/p/libntfs-wii/downloads/list

My pre-compiled libntfs is compiled using devkitppc r24, maybe this is why it doesn't work correctly for you.

I hate double posting

I released the source of v11 Beta 3 now! It's very stable so everyone can use it.

Changes:
-Completely removed video code from app booter (faster)
-Removed unneeded video code from dol loader (faster)
-Using official ext2/ext3/ext4 support now (faster)
-Sync with the latest wiixplorer forwarder (smaller and faster)
-Re-added timeout for usb hdds (way higher compatility but slower)

Because of all the changes I only made a no splash version, I'll update the splash version asap.

Please report if everything still works fine

edit: Added splash version

I found if I used libogc 1.8.6+devkitPPC r24(or r22) to compile the source code of v11,
the .dol file can't start CFG from my FAT32 partition (Hard Drive).

But if I used libogc 1.8.7 to compile v11 , it's no problem to start CFG from SD/FAT32/NTFS.

Anyway, I think v11 is much compatible with all kinds of different partition.

Good Job, FIX94.
