Coverflow has always been open source, you can download and build it whenever you like. Its not difficult at all, I'm not sure why they don't like people to post the dols but it takes about 5 minutes to build one.

Feel free to Post DOLs... I dont really know why we got started with the 'dont post links' thing... obviously; if you are posting a compiled dol, or download and use a posted dol, you are doing so at your own risk.
The only 'safe' dol are those posted on wii cover flow...
Other then that; feel free to post links to builds. Others can feel free to debate this; but i dont mind posted dols.

I agree with the Boss: There's really no problem with people posting compiled dols.
We only get problems when people don't realize they're using an SVN dol & start posting that this loader is full of bugs.
What we need are properly composed issue reports that include the revision number.
The ability to be a good & thorough tester is not dependent upon the ability to compile source.

I aksed for not posting compiled dols -in this thread- because don't want to charge this thread with _obviously_ complains or just people having problems.
If you don't even know what a C compiler is, please don't post "it doesn't compile" if you don't even what compiling is.
Coverfloader is very stable and this because we prefered to add bugfixies instead of adding new features in our latest official builds: just have a look at how many (almost 0) complains or bugs after 1.0 release (we are planning 1.1 release).
This is very good I think for usability.
It's obvious that post 1.0 work will be a continuos experiment with crashes + games that doesn't boot and other things (and no, it will not break your wii, it was a warning for cut some newbe out).
As for now we have VERY few coders available, so why waste our time reading bugs of svn that we _know_ we have?
Want discuss about SVN builds? My suggestion is to open another thread and talk there, leaving here comments and costructive comments here, to help developers.
As I said, I prefere to concentrate our efforts on developing rather than explain why the SVN build XXX doesn't work and how to fix it.
When we will have some useful build we will post it.
That's my 2c, let the complains begin...

Nothing wrong with incremental updates. This is part the problem. Since 1.0 released few weeks ago, its like the loader has gone stale. Users look at the other two popular loaders and see updates on a near daily basis with very few complaints or problems. Whilst Cover Floader gets no updates, people lose interest, look elsewhere.
Fickle bunch huh?
I love Cover Floader but I like features and updates and fixes regularly. It was my first USB loader. It was my favourite USB loader.
I now use GX more.

Enjoy other loaders, we code it just for the fun of it, not for being the most up to date of feature full one.
If you prefere other loaders we are happy for you

Well that's fine of course. Its all done in your own free time. I acknowledge and 'get' that, and of course, we're grateful for it. But don't confuse constructive criticism and praise with negativity and then counter with sarcasm. Perhaps I don't 'want' to be using other loaders. I would actually 'prefer' to use Cover Floader, as it happens. But with your 'lockdown' and obvious objection on DOL creation and posting, you're restricting coverage of this loader.
You guys will update the loader as you see fit. Accepted. I just hope interest remains and we don't see this thread slip down the pages and into the archive.
Looking forward to the next release.
i think there might be a bug in your 1.0 release, as i was saying a few posts back about it crashing on the "threading images" part, then got the answer to delete all covers then DL them again thru the loader but i didnt have to, i copied the loader and images from the sd card and transfered them to my other SDHC 8GB card then loader coverfloader but this time it work without crashing.
and yes its an official 1.0 .dol release and not an attemped compile

Which reminds me, I seem to be having a problem with official release 1.0 and downloading covers.
I know the covers exist on wiitdb.com as other loaders for the same games have managed to download them. But for some reason Cover Floader refuses to download them when I run the update. Wii Sports Resort for example. Cover is still missing for me, yet the cover exists on wiitdb and other loaders have managed to download.

I had a cover problem as well, long story short, I ended up running the fix disk thingy in windows and re-downloading the covers, they work fine now. I imagine it was something on my end rather then the app though.
I'll do the test today with WiiSport Resort.Logan said:
As for the cover problems, probably it's not the case, but they are 6 digits now, so the 4 digits cover are not recognized anymore.
If you are having a freeze at the initialing screen, try restarting the Wii (don't really have a choice) Turn off the HDD, turn the Wii on..then turn on the HDD...see if it helps...it does for me.
