Hacking Configurable USB Loader

Ok I'll try the last one that did not problems. Thanks for supporting so far! Really I appreciate it...

Hi!

I have some questions about cfg-mod.

First of all, I tried to launch GameCube games from USB 3.0 NTFS hard drive with r45 version and I couldn't because each time I try it starts copying game into SD and I don't have enough space on it.
Isn't it possible to launch from USB without copying to SD?

I also noticed some bug when quitting some game, usually when I press Home button in a Wii game it returns to CFG.
Sometimes it works, sometimes I displays this:

So my first question is: what setting should I have in order to play GameCube game directly from NTFS hard drive?

Next question: will it be possible to translate new text? (text that was added about GameCube)
If so please post it in CFG translation topic

3rd question: I didn't test r46 but I read "added savegame emulation", does it mean we can save GameCube games without GameCube memory card?

Last question: is there any update about including banner animation such as USB Loader GX?

Please let me know.

No NTFS for gamecube. only fat32 with 32kb clusters

Here's a photo of the screen when it dumped out.

It seems to only occur when you have a very large number of games on the drive. Pretty sure about this one.

Sometimes (not always) when downloading individual covers it freezes here. All you can do is restart the Wii.

After a restart, the cover you were downloading appears like this. Again, this only seems to happen when there is a very large number of games on the drive. It seems to occur more regularly if the game has an HQ cover (not sure: this might be due to lack of testing).

Btw, v70 (no mod) was totally stable, but that might be because the GC games don't appear in it (no DM support) which may have let it fall below whatever limit it's hitting.

Update: I cleared the cache folder again and started R46. It began loading covers. I clicked into an individual game with A, then back out to the flow with B and it instantly dumped like this.

I'm having the same problem. Right now I'm using v70r46, but the problem began a few versions ago, I don't remember exactly when, but I'm almost sure that the problem did not started after I uploaded CFG. It was downloading covers just fine, I uploaded the loader, it continued to download covers fine but then all of sudden the problem began. It's a really annoying issue.

wildstoo · Aug 31, 2012

Think I've narrowed it down. It seems to start in R45. On that version it will cause an exception almost instantly if it's populating the cache folder.

I'm going to experiment more with R44 to make sure it's ok.

Edit: Wait that doesn't make sense, because yesterday R42b1 was doing it too. I'll keep looking.

stsaerox · Aug 31, 2012

The HQ covers in '70 r30' Loads normally no errors. I'll test next revision until the problem occurs.

edit:FOUND IT!!!!!

r42 is the first that has the problem... r41 is ok and some older I've tested. My apologies also the problem occurs on Full cover.

Where I can do this suggestions? To show which disk is the first and the second in dual disk games and save last played in ascending order settings?

wildstoo · Aug 31, 2012

Dartinho and stsaerox: can you please confirm for me that R44 works fine and that R45 crashes when loading covers?

I've tested it over and over and with R44 it's fine but with R45 or R46 it's an almost instant crash.

Update: Looking at the changelog between R44 and R45 is this:

-fixed GC game filter
-some fixes

I'm almost certain now that something in there is causing this.

I'm a professional programmer, I do it for a living, and my heart really sinks when I see "some fixes" in a change log. I always ask "What? What was fixed? Tell me!" If I ever said "some fixes" in a change log my team would roast me alive; we always spell out exactly what the problem was and what we changed to fix it.

thx for the mod!
everything is great except the cover problem i am also experiencing. wha im wondering is....
is there a w ay to DISABLE the HQ cover downloading? like maybe through the config?
if i use download_all_styles = 0
then define the URLs for cover_full can i effectively "skip" the HQ cover?

R2-D2199 · Sep 1, 2012

Maybe I have found the problem.

Getting really long codedump when trying to launch Kirby epic yarn, on r46
used to work before on 46
only thing i've recently done is use savegame emulation in CFG (worked the first time and I could continue the saved game and make a new save) and GX 1202 (making both of them use same nand as Wiiflow in order to make all loaders use the same saves)
WF and GX are launching the game fine.
I know this save emulation is recent but can the problem be due to all loaders sharing the same nand?

Thanks for the updates, looking forward for R71 (hopefully with WW/VC support)

Edit: tried once more with emunand off and game worked again, then emunand on game works too.
before that new trial I played using Wiiflow and made a new save :wtf:

I'll try the game after saving in GX now...

Edit2: saved in GX and played using CFG and game worked, looks like a random error that I can't reproduce.

I have found a problem with the new R46 release.

When starting up CFG USB Loader it freezes on the CFG Logo, No errors, Nothing.

R45 works fine, no freezes.

THE ISSUE IS ALSO ON THE VERSION THAT YOU LINKED TO ME.

Please note that this doesn't happen every time, only some times. When it does freeze, it requires me to hold the off button until it is red and restart, it always works after a restart.

I have a old IDE Hard drive (120GB) inside a Pluscom 3,5" IDE To USB 2.0 Enclosure. It Has always worked using this before.
