You are full of surprises. Perhaps you should post a link and people can test it for you.

People are always telling me I'm full of stuff, but you are the first to say "surprises." It's refreshing. wink.gif

I'm not posting the link now because I can't say for sure if it is stable. I've tested it myself (only had time to do so twice) and it worked, but I just got my first report back and the user said he got code dumps everytime.

You can PM me, I will test this weekend. I'll let you know how it goes.

Hooray!!! biggrin.gif


Well...as for testing: I'll volunteer if you want someone for Uneek + DI (yes, and I'll make sure to provide feedback more often than I did on progressiveswitch). For now, I'll pass for the real nand. It'll take too much time taking safety measures.
(plus I barely recall what I HAVE on my real nand).

PM me too if you need another tester.

Seems like this app could be a perfect companion to postloader - especially if you could implement wifi setting changes.

Well...I tested it out (uneek +DI 4.3E), and it seems to work just the way it should. smile.gif

-Screen resolution
Switches nicely between progressive and interlaced.Note: it may be different in Europe, but on the wii the settings are named "60 Hz (480i)" (interlaced) and "EDTV / HDTV (480p)" (progressive).
I also have an option "50Hz (576i)", but I'm not sure if my tv can even handle that.

-Aspect ratio
Widescreen and fullscreen. No surprises. Maybe adding "(16:9)" and "(4:3)" to the options makes things more clear, but that's a detail.

-Sensor bar:
Top and bottom. You can't make things more clear than that.

-Sound mode
Options surround, mono and stereo...switches just fine. smile.gif

-Rumble:
Disabled or enabled. I admit I thought this was a "per wiimote" option, but apparently it isn't. Maybe "Wiimote rumble" would be more clear, but then again...just WHAT ELSE could rumble? tongue.gif

-burn-in reduction:
Disabled or enabled. Switches nicely.

-Power off:
I like the name "Shutdown mode" (as mentioned in this thread) more, but even so...you can't miss much. The setting works, which is what matters

-Remote sensitivity:
this one got me searching through the menu a fair bit. I never knew there WAS such a setting. But as it turns out, this is actually the sensor bar sensitivity (of course, the effect is the same).
This one got a very minor bug. If you change the setting through the system menu and then start SettingsEditor, it shows a bit of garbage on this setting ("²C ²CL ²CI " and so on...it's almost a chemical formula tongue.gif ). It goes away if you select the setting. As such, it's not so easy to say if it notes the earlier made changes in the system menu. But the effect still works, so it's no biggy. smile.gif



That's all I can say about it. Very nice work. yaywii.gif

Oh, i thought that you can change the screen resolution, for example forcing it to show only 480 instead full screen with over 720.

I'm glad you didn't find that confusing, lol.

If nothing else, I may add more description to the meta.xml file

I thought I changed that already, I'm glad you mentioned that.
-Remote sensitivity:
this one got me searching through the menu a fair bit. I never knew there WAS such a setting. But as it turns out, this is actually the sensor bar sensitivity (of course, the effect is the same).
Do you think I should change it?

Does this apply to all settings?

Thank you. I put a lot of work into it. Once I get it stable and fix the bugs, I may look into a better GUI.


Thanks so much for the detailed report! biggrin.gif

I made it for people who use postLoader instead of the System Menu. Unfortunately, I see little hope of adding that as it would be very complicated.

At this point I don't need another tester, but I will soon. Thanks.

Things are moving along, and after I get some test results back this should be ready for release. Thanks to stfour, it now has a much easier GUI and the crashing bug should be fixed. He is now listed as co-author on this.
