some reason i cant get custom backgrounds to work and only shows the default. ive changed config as followd

Code:

# images_path = [SD:/images/]
#ÂÂ path must be SD:/dirname/ (with a trailing slash at the end)
images_path=SD:/apps/USBLoader/images/]
#
# background = bgg.png
#ÂÂ name of your background image, in PNG format, located in your images path (see above option)
#ÂÂ If not specified, a default template will be used.
background = bgg.png

ive placed the bgg.png file in apps/USBLoader/images/ folder but it doesnt change. any help would be great.

Is anyone else having trouble with the titles and config files not being read? I've had them in the same folder as the boot.dol and it worked until i upgraded to 7.3. I have tried putting both files on the root of the SD card and still nothing. Also, when I tried to save the settings of a game it gives a "error saving settings.cfg" and "error saving options messages". Finally, the cover art will not appear, nor will the program download new cover art.

I have checked all the settings in the config.txt file, but i suppose that would be pointless if it cannot even load it...

On a positive note, you have done an excellent job incorporating various code into this "Ultimate" loader! I'm glad to see a group of people working together for the greater good!

EDIT: Horrible sentence structure, and punctuation, although it probably isn't much better, as I am typing this with 2 hours of sleep!

Sorry guys but I have run into a problem I just tested my 640x550 background and it code dumps on 7.3 1.5 Please try http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/6738/unitest2.png. Also Im working on it with hungyip atm, could one of you pal 50 users let me know what version the 640x550 size did work on, I am testing other things so I don't have time to check them all. Like I said help me help you

ZeroGwafa · Apr 18, 2009

hmmm, i swear i installed v10, but ill do it again just in case, thanks!

That did it, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

I'm really getting frustrated trying to figure out if I'm screwing up or what, but I can't get a different background to show up no matter what I try. I've tried moving the image directory, I've tried putting the background in multiple places, I've tried putting the background with the boot.dol, I've tried renaming the background, I've tried downloading a different background, and in the end, I keep getting the default background. I'd post my config, but I've tried sooooo many different ways to set up my config and it hasn't mattered.

Is anyone else having this issue?

EDIT: Here, I'll just use the last config I had as an example trying to use neorame's widescreen bg:

Code:

# USBLoader config
images_path=SD:/images/
background = bg1.png
layout = ultimate2
covers = 1
simple = 0
console_color=8,7
download = 0
covers_coords=28,106
console_coords=252,54,340,290
entry_lines = 12
max_characters = 37
#

I thought I had everything set up for the loader to work.. Installed rev10, compiled the config.txt, setup the background image and whatnot..
Upon booting, once I get to the USB Loader screen, if I press any button, it crashes and gives me a code dump.

I'm on a NTSC 3.2u, if that matters.

7.3 v1.5 works fine here, even with forwarder channel

I can't even initalize the network anymore. I connected once and all subsequent launches get "Error initializing network"

crosseye · Apr 18, 2009

Tried another bg, the jono@home widescreen version and I STILL get the default background, (although it's widescreen) no matter where I put the bg, what I name it, or anything else

Code:

# USBLoader config
images_path=SD:/images/
layout = ultimatew *(tried ultimate_w as well)
wbackground = bg216x9x.png
widescreen = 1
covers_coords=478,110
download = 1
#

Seriously, is it just me?

donnyp · Apr 18, 2009

I edited wiishizzza's background. I integrated neo rame's 3d box art into it also. I removed all the gray from around his images so that it would match and work with my new background.

Tell me what you all think

So I have to edit all of my covers into 3d box arts to use this background?

THitsu10 · Apr 18, 2009

@crosseye

make sure you put background image in the "wimages" folder...seems the config readme in the V7.3 (1.5) was old

SpaceJump · Apr 18, 2009

I just downloaded a missing cover with 7.2 1.5 in widescreen mode, but it downloaded the normal 4x3 cover. hungyip, can you take a look at this?

Are both images_path and wimages_path needed for 7.2 1.5?
