Hmm maybe you have a wrong or corrupt source?
Can you send me yours?
Do you try it over Programmers Notepad or cmd?

Programmers Notepad and i used waninkoko's link
Ok lol.
i get with yours the same error wtf.
So: It is not your fault or Devkit =)

I try to fix it.
Wait a min.

Edit:
I think it´s your wrong folder.
It has to be in C:\Folder\makefile

If its for example C:\Folder\w00t\Makefile it will not work

Excellent information, works a treat.

Couldnt get the devkit to install on Vista 64bit, kept on hanging at the end of trying to download some of the source files.

Installed and works fine on XP though.

I just used the source code from this thread on page 1.
Extracted it all to C:\USBLoader , make sure it isnt in another folder within this.
Put the new background image in the /DATA folder call it background with no extension.

Then loaded makefile into devkitpro and it compiled file creating the .dol and .elf files within the C:\USBloader folder.

Ive upped the source here for you to try again.

extract these into your C:\USB-Loader_v1.1\ folder and then open project in programmers notepad and open the usbloader.pnproj file. all folder are already set, so just replace the background with what you need and then Clean, then Make.

ÂÂÂÂ) else (
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ>>"%New%" echo\%%b
ÂÂÂÂ)
)

pause

del makefile
rename newfile Makefile
for /f "tokens=1* delims=:" %%a in ('findstr /n "^" "%Old%"') do (

Say, just a quick question, does anyone know how to make the area where the text is printed transparent. ie my background image has a darker part where the iso's are listed, but it is not black and when compiled with the guide it puts a black rectangle over this. Can this rectangle be made transparent? And if so how?

I dont really understand your question. But i think this is the answer:
The text is in the image not in the Backup Loader.
So you have to edit the text into the image,

Hope i understanded your question.
