Hacking USB Loader GX

RavRob · Apr 28, 2009

I have tried finding how to load this but there is just too many pages to read through. Where do I place this boot.dol to load it?

Stang · Apr 28, 2009

Anywhere you want.....SD:/apps/usbloader/ would probably be the best place, especially if you using a forwarding channel.

Sorry... I'm just now converting to this loader, and I have a few questions...

Can I change the location of the "config" folder?
How do I move the battery icons?
Where do I put my "titles.txt" file?
If I change the width/height of the box art, will it be out of proportion on the screen?
In the "theme.txt" file, can I use the "#" symbol, to comment-out remarks?

Thanks!

I have read the Google Code page and the first post. Neither answer the questions I asked.

Thanks.

# should work but you can just try
battery position still not available
about the box art, also try and see but make sure that dimensions are a multiplier of 4
to change config position you have to change the source. search for SD:/config/config.txt and SD:/config/titles.txt and replace it with something you want. then compile

Does a forwarding channel has to be for this very specific loader? Where do I get such forwarding channel?

r181 is out, but I can't compile at the moment. It seems that it fixed the rollbacked code
other changelog: added SetToolTip in gui_buttons

RavRob · Apr 28, 2009

Everyone talks about a config.txt and a title.txt but it is no where to be found. I have read up to page 102 and gave up. All I can find is ppl uploading new version but still no config.txt

This loader sounds and the video looks great but there seems to be no instruction on how to use it and files missing to make it works.

Too bad

My suggestion...

Someone should recompile this loader, to search for the "config.txt" in the same directory the "boot.dol" is located. Then, the "config.txt" file could then specify the location of the "config" folder.

I also believe that we should be able to set the lock/unlock code and child/normal modes, in the "config.txt" file.

Yes Rav, that is where all the forwarding channels point to. Here is a forwarding wad

Thanks to MAFIA for the easy to find file.

r183
Changelog:
1. Added godmode config option (will add a wiki page later)
2. Added custom password for unlock (unlock_code config option)

Config Options

Introduction
Currently, there are only a few config options. I will try to add more after I am done with the theme. The config.txt should sit inside SD:/config/ directory.

Contents of config.txt
godmode = 0 1 (default is 0. 0 means turn off godmode by default, 1 otherwise)
unlock_code = ab121b (you can set whatever password you want as long as it is shorter than 19 characters)
parentalcontrol = 0 1 2 3 (set game access level. Need to use with titles.txt. If the loader is in unlock mode, this would be turned off)
theme_path = SD:/theme/ (set the theme folder path. Remember to put '/' at the end of the path. If you are using 16:9, use wtheme_path instead)
wtheme_path = SD:/wtheme/ (set the theme folder path for 16:9. This option might be removed in the future)
widescreen = 0 1 (when set to 1, the loader would force 16:9 mode. When set to 0, the loader would force 4:3 mode

r182
Changelog:
-Fixed long name problem introduced by 180

r181
Changelog:
-fixed CreditsWindow
-added SetToolTip in gui_buttons

This loader ISN'T out yet. All there is to do with the config.txt is to set a theme folder for now. There are no files missing. Check wiki at the google code project page for documentation. There are also infos here. Hope that helped you

if I set the boot.dol folder I'll force you to use that specified folder and you can't rename it. Also the config folder only has config.txt and titles.txt. So if one of them is with the boot.dol why not the other also.

The people with the config files KNOW what they are doing with them... At the moment,, there is not an OFFICIAL config file... I dont use one and everything works great.
You CAN use this without ANY config files... THATS what I like about it. But i will put any file needed on my SD as long as it would SAVE SETTINGS... lol

Just put it in a folder in SD:/apps/usbloader for instance.... or SD:/apps/yourloadername

I believe you mean the post that I asked if anyone wanted me to implement that code. Nice to see that is now part of the main code. My only wish now is to see the rest covers_path code included. posted at google code as issue 94 to save you some time

EDIT: that's what you get when you post at a forum at 5:23 am. He also asked for it.

VERY NICE!

What about the "config.txt" and custom configuration of the "config" folder?!?

Someone should create default/sample "config.txt", "theme.txt", and "titles.txt" files!

RavRob · Apr 28, 2009

Tx BlindDude....no wonder I couldn't find one. I will give this loader a try now that I know.

Cheers

2nd you have to go to lock at options to enable that
the code is ab121b

EDIT: lol, he beat me as I was still searching for the code

Yeah, that's it. Thanks.

I'll try using his labels, but what I really want is the original ones.

cover_path could be added easily. I will add that tonight.

Gamii · Apr 28, 2009

Thanks for the fast progress and being so responsive.

What about adding translation support?
