Updated: Due to requests, mods applied to Wanin's WM v1.7. Download here:

http://www.mediafire.com/file/88e4b6202rj3...r.v1.7.Mod1.rar

Added a couple of options: "Music" and "Disclaimer". See the Readme.Mod.txt and wm_config.txt for details.

I took Waninkoko's WM 1.5 source and added the same mods as I did for 1.4:

Mod1:
* Folder support (10 levels deep)
* GC Controller support
* Removed disclaimer prompt
* Sorg's enhancements are included

Mod2:
* Mod1 and ...
* Config file in sd:/wad/wm_config.txt
* Optional startup password. Very simple password using the D-Pads
* Optional startup path

Mod3:
* Mod2 and ...
* Config file contains additional params to automate the selection of IOS, Storage Device, and NAND Emulation
* WiiLight mod by mariomaniac33

I saw that some people mistakenly thought that these are independent mods. Just to clarify, mod2 is based on mod1, and mod3 is based on mod2. So mod3 has all the features.

Config file format:
; wm_config.txt resides in sd:/wad, and it is optional. You will get all the prompts if you don't have this file.
; The param keywords are case-sensitive at this point.
; No spaces precede the keyword on a line
; If you don't have a password in the config file, the default is no password
; If you don't have a startupPath, the default is /wad
; If you don't have any of the other parameters, it will prompt you for it
; To bypass any of the params, just comment out the line using a ";" at the beginning of the line
; Blank lines are ignored.
;
; Password=your_password (LRUD only, where L=left, R=right, U=up, D=down on the WiiMote or GC Controller, max 10 characters)
; StartupPath=startupPath (starting at the root dir "/"). Be sure that the path exists, else you will get an error.
;
Password=UDLRUD
StartupPath=/myWad

; Example of StartupPath at the root of the SD card
;StartupPath=/

; cIOS: 249, 222, whatever
cIOSVersion=249

; FatDevice: sd usb usb2 gcsda gcsdb
FatDevice=sd

; NANDDevice: Disable SD USB
; Note that WM will prompt for NAND device only if you selected cIOS=249
NANDDevice=Disable

I've done some testing with installing/uninstalling wads, but did nothing with the NAND stuff.
Mod2, Mod3 downloads contain a corresponding channel as well.

Does this fix the need to have a /wad folder on the root of the SD card?

I kinda like the sd:/wad folder because I already have a lof of "junk" in the root folder. The sd:/wad at least starts me out in a place with just "wads". It's really easy to rebuild the code; the change to move the root dir to sd:/ requires very little work. I'll release the code soon.

QUOTE(Byron @ Jul 28 2009, 04:43 AM) Why don't you publish your patches in the waninkoko's git repository ?

Does he refuse some contributions to his open source project ?

I've never tried to contact Waninkoko. I'll offer it to him this time around.
