What setting do I need to adjust to stretch the screen wider in game?
if it's wii game, there's nothing you can do.
if it's gamecube, or anything homebrew layered while playing, it's possible but need an option like nintendont.
Wii games are run on the processor without USBLoaderGX in memory, the game itself would need a setting to adjust the video position or format.
The only option you can change on a Wii game is on WiiU because it's a console option : real widescreen enabled or disabled.
if you are on wiiU, go to features>wiiu widescreen, switch to the format you want and then launch the game.
on r1259 just got a code dump when updating covers
Are you using r1259 or 1259 mod1 intended for beta testers ONLY ?
the modded and beta version are not for end users.
this is a known issue with the mod01 and banner download, and has been fixed in mod02.
if your code dump is really on unmodded r1259 and with covers (not with banners), then that's nice to report this bug
I'll take a look at it, that's always good to fix bugs.
Is it possible to get this to work with the FRONT Wii U usb ports?
It's possible to add support inside the loader (to load covers from it etc.), if you use IOS58.
I don't know if cIOS r53 enables only Port1 or ALL ports.
if d2x enables all ports, it can be added (but will require lot of work to update all menus), if not it will require a d2x update first and nobody is working on cIOS anymore.
There's another method to get dual HDD for nintendont, but it's kind of hacky and can cause compatibility issues with loaders.
I think it's explained (or was, and I removed it?) on nintendont first post.
1. use d2x r53 base 58
2. connect WiiU HDD on port0
3. connect vWii HDD on port1
4. set the loader to use IOS58
nintendont will mount port1 first and find the gamecubes
USBLoaderGX will mount port1 first (because it uses IOS58 which mounts higher ports in priority), you might have to re-setup the loader because partition order changed.
Wii games will reload to IOS58 too, but not work very well because IOS58 has less compatibility than 57. (expect black screens at boot, etc.)
I think it's best to keep only one HDD, or disconnect WiiU HDD when you don't play WiiU games.
Personally, when I play a game .. I play THAT game A LOT. I don't play 50 games at the same time switching them every 12 minutes because I'm bored.
It's not like you need the WiiU HDD if you decided to play a gamecube game.
