We will think about that. So that you have in the popupwindow buttons like WiiMenu, HBC and Cancel?


I'd be more inclined to have this as a settings option in order to not clutter the UI.

As a side note, can't you just sue the Home button on the wiimote to go back to the wii menu.....?

reasonable suggestion man smile.gif i like that idea! i also think it couldnt hurt to:

when pressing "up" on the d-pad on the first game (ac/dc rockband) that it should go to the bottom of my list (zack and wiki)

rather than limiting the scroll from a-z have it "loop" so i can get to the last game in the list by pressing up one time ya know?

....also when left and right are pressed on the d-pad PAGE DOWN or PAGE UP! this would be a nice user friendly addition if your already mapping buttons tongue.gif

IMO,, the delete is too easy to delete something... usually my kids see cancel and instinctively go for the other button,, which would be "OK" or "play".. Is there a big WARNING when you hit the delete button?

I would rather it be changed to PLAY

just me though

Before all this usbloader stuff came out,, I used to get my cd covers for lightscribing my disks HERE!
I have not found ANY missing and usually they have several different versions,, custom/original.. Only thing is,, its a one by one thing... takes a long time

A wonderfull site, they have also the back of the covers that coud be very nice to display in the loader.
But it is difficult to automatize the dowload, one by one, it would be very long.

Totally agree, I also pressed almost few times on delete! Delete must be as hidden as possible. Play button instead is better.

Other things is the scrollbar, it is really difficult to get it to scroll down on next pages ... Maybe an idea is to scroll automatically down when cursor is below the titles box, or scroll up when it is above the title box?
Scrolling pages on click on the scrollbar would also be nice.

Also how about offering the games selection in few profiles? Like games for kids, games for adults etc? Or maybe bounding the games choice to a Mii?

Anyway great job guys - keep it up!

Okay, there go the CD covers, maybe those can be put in the database for the autodownloader? Oh, and I also think there should be a Play button and deleting should be harder to accidentally do.

There should be an option to turn OFF/ON auto download, or give the option to manually download covers once you're ready.

Wow, now that's innovative thinking, making games favorited and bounding them to Miis! I LOVE where this is going. BTW, I can help out in virtually any way except for coding, not yet familiar with Wii coding.

BTW, I'm still really pushing for the channel animations, does anyone know how hard it might be to do? I mean how does the wii load those animations from the disc channel? I know there is a specific part of the ISO the animation is located in, someone has made forwarders for games on the usb drive as .WADS with there animations respectively, so it is at least possible, but how hard would that be? Any estimations?

Maybe the same way as the cover art? Instead of looking for [gameID].png you could somehow get it to play an extracted [gameID].bin from the sd?
