Hacking USB Loader GX

[themanuel]

I guess I found a real bug this time:
FW/Channels made with CRAP don't show on real nand mode- Banner view mode
Not that I'll use them but the empty channels slots look ugly

Edit: also messing with them, like clicking and trying to preview then switching mode causes weird behavior/slowdowns/freezes... ugly stuff u know

Well, but why would you want forwarder channels if you are using a USB loader?
If you don't want to get rid of them altogether, you could hide them.
Is there something that fwd channels allow yo to do, specifically?

I know we could hide, but what's special about these banners, fixing the issue might fix other banner problems too

I see your point. I don't think this is something that was under consideration when the banner feature was developed.

Pokemon adventure 2 keeps telling me my system memory is full.
Though there's enough space.
I think those saves are being corrupted somehow.....

@Cyan, do you need a video card? I have a million of them just sitting around.

PM me if so.

Does Modmii install Usbloader or i have to do that manually?

Updating your cIOS shouldn't get rid of the GX you already have
but
if you want to update what you already have to the latest beta version here's r1202 :

Just open it and put the boot.dol file from the 249 folder in the /apps/usbloader gx folder replacing the existing one.

The weird thing is that these Crap channels show up just fine in WiiFlow 4+ (What puzzles me is that both apps use the same code for banners)

Is the NMM feature not working for anyone else? I tried setting Super Mario Sunshine to use it, but it always loads the saves off my memory card rather than my SD or USB. I'm using DM 2.0, as 2.2 never worked for me.

NMM has very low compatibility.. very few games will save with it..

When the memory card is inserted NMM is automatically turned off, you should try again after removing it.

Is there an option to prevent downloading of custom banners in usblgx?

prevent!
yes don't check the banners mark after pressing 1
If you mean "disable" you need to ask Cyan

Thank you , love your work, but those banner downloads took forever, and there's no way to stop them once the've started.
So I was just wondering, but I should've looked better, lol!

 

[AbdallahTerro]

average banner is 700kb takes seconds to download.
If you have 15 games should be done in couple of minutes max.
GX checks for ID6 first then ID3 and checks the downloaded banner for integrity.
This causes some delay but is necessary to get a perfect job

hello

Spoiler: about my computer problem

new HDD: ok
New video card: ok
reconstructing RAID: done
Save my data: not done yet
Change HDD fully too bigger one: not done yet
Restoer my Data to new HDD: not done yet

Humm, I'm pretty sure there's a Cancel button when downloading covers and banners.
When clicking Cancel button, it will stop after the current downloaded file. (but yeah, it will try to complete the current download first).


The checkbox are now automatically checked (because users usually checked them all manually anyway).
just uncheck the one you don't want, instead of checking all the one you want (it's faster). best way would be to keep in memory the checked boxes for next time you open that menu.

If it's too long to download from the Wii, I guess there's a link with all banners?
extract them (all) on SD manually.

Or just use our default banner for gamecube (with the game's logo ), it's fast and doesn't take any space.

I'm compiling 1202 with Dropbox-URL, if everything goes well while testing I'll post the link and add it to my Sig.

The money is not the problem.
It's just that I like my (old) setup, and don't like updating when everything works. (don't fix it if it's not broken).
And it takes 3-6 months to reinstall everything. (yes, I use a looot of things, I really hate formating/reinstalling time. last time was in 2007 ).

After you've got your PC set up with everything as you like, you should make an image of your OS partition so that if you have a crash again, you can simply restore it from the image. I've done that on W2000 & XP a few times over and it's really easy.
