Hacking Cover Flow USB ISO Loader by Beardface

psykobug · Sep 2, 2009

just a question : will the ios selection be implemented soon ? i think it's the only thing missing in this great loader , a lot of new games need hermes ' ios 223 to work , and i don't want to move to usb loader gx .

keep up the good work and thanks !

u have tried 1.2a and 1.2 but the 1.2 don't load and return to HBC after saying image threading and 1.2a launch some times and when i do search for a game juste return to HBC. I have tried to delete config files but same. Do you have a idea of the problem? (Wii 3.1 & cIOS rev12) I think cIOS is the problem ^^

This version won't let me install any game. Sometimes it gives en error code dump screen other times it will hang at the downloading covers screen (disk cover in this case).

Also when no harde drive is plugged and you start CoverFloader I also get an error code dump screen.

Hope my input will help to improve this great loader!

If you are using the latest libogc,....

Click to expand...

You mean "unstable", "SVN" or "unreleased", not "latest"

but nice guide - it should help a lot of people who've installed a libogc from other projects.

By latest I mean bleeding edge, but you're right that I should be more specific. I don't mean the latest stable version, at the moment. I mean the latest unstable/unreleased version which you checkout from the libogc SVN here:

https://devkitpro.svn.sourceforge.net/svnro...ro/trunk/libogc

(Note: the above link is not meant to be clicked as a download link, it is an SVN repository and you must check it out with an SVN client of your choice)

The latest developer versions r951 / r952 support Hermes cIOS222/223

(see svn CoverFloader )

The GUI-controls for setting the new options are missing as yet, but if you can edit wiicoverflow.xml and gamelist.xml you can get it to work and you'll see that e.g. GH5 works like a charm.

@all with additional "Hermes" 222/223

Please try CF_r953 (v1.2a) and report...

This version supports cIOS 222/223. There are 2 new options in GameSettings ( IOS and Block IOS Reload )

If you want to run CF with cIOS 222 completely you have to edit the wiicoverflow.xml (general).

cios = 0 use cIOS249 (default)
cios = 1 use cIOS222

( in future there'll be a control for this setting )

Just like to pass my thanks for such a great loader after switching from gx (bsc of too many code dumps)! I do have one question though....is there any secret to getting the ocarina codes working. I'm using the built in code downloader and I believe I have the "cheat" option turned on in both settings and the load options screen for each specific game....unfortunately they never seem to work

Any ideas??

Edit: FYI I do have my txtcodes and codes directories on the root of my card and directed the loader to these directories. Thanks

@all with additional "Hermes" 222/223

Please try CF_r958 (v1.2a) and report...

This version supports cIOS 222/223.

All controls for the new settings are included.

Has anyone got Metriod Trilogy working properly with CF ??
Ive tried heaps of different ways 249,222,223 Blocked ISO, altdols, got close but locks up or reboots

I'm suddenly getting stack dumps when loading coverflow. It was working fine before, then I added a couple new games to the HD via WBFS Manager. Thats the only change I've made. It will work sometimes though, but if I do get a stack dump it will happen either right when I try to load CF or right when CF has finished loading and it's about to goto the game select screen. I'm running rev 10, because I couldnt even get CF to start when using rev 14

NeoGodSpeed · Sep 7, 2009

can anyone help me with getting Mad Dog McCree RQ5E5G

Working correctly - I can get it to work with coverflow but I can't get WiiRD to work. Don't know why coverflow won't hook WiiRD???

This game gives a 002 error without using coverflow I have a modchip DriveKey installed - but will not load gives the 002 error screen.

- what IOS should I try to patch to get it to work so I can use WiiRD to work with this game.

I have been out of the scene for a few months so, need some updated info please on what IOS or what can fix this problem.

Thanks for any Help

Depends on how many games you have on the harddrive. Also you should upgrade to Sys 4.1 and cIOS rev14. CF works fine with those combos (Using a stable version). People with a large amount of games have two choices. Use CF V1.1 (Is fairly stable using 2D covers only at over 300 Games)
Downside...you can't play some of the newer stuff.
You want newer stuff and you will need to ditch games ....OR get another drive soley for use for the newer games and alt-dol games..then use the newer revs of CF with that drive.

I've currently got 39 games on the hard drive. If I update to cIOS rev 14, CF will not load at all. It'll just crash when I try and run it. I have system menu 4.0u though, if I update to 4.1 will CF work? Or should I just switch to USB Loader GX and keep my current versions of everything. I use CF mainly because it downloads the cover art for me, so its no biggy if I cant use it.

Well it all comes done to preferences really. I personally will only use CF as it is much simpler to understand and it looks 1000X more fly than the others. I have 4.1U (upgraded with Wani's upgrader) cIOS rev 14 and STABLE version 1.1 Coverfloader as my main proggy. I've had few issues with it. Now the word crash doesn't explain much. (Rather it lends an air of a complete system crash which I doubt is the symptom here)

If it freezes, turn off the power from the drive itself, then do a HARD re-set of the Wii (Hold the power button until your light turns red)
Turn the Wii on, turn the drive on, wait maybe 30 seconds then try again. I won't say I do not get freezes...because I do. I alson am taking this software to it's fullest as well though. Having said that, when I have an issue, I follow the above steps (sometimes I have to do it twice in a row) and after that all is well. Think of your USB cable as a VERY old school telephone line. Back in the day it was hit or a miss with phone call....sometimes you just had a bad connection (still happens with cellphones)...also happens with this.

'CF_r958' works for me. running on both rev10 and rev14. Only froze once on the first game boot but runs without error now.

If your having problems with 'Metroid Prime Trilogy' I don't think CF can run it without restarting to Wii menu on game load.

So try this:

1) start up USB loader GX and go into game options.
2) go down till 'alt dol' and select 'dol from disk'.
3) another option should open just under that; select this new option.
4) there should be four dol's; these are the different break points in the game (the first in the menu, and numbered 1,2,3 are MP1,MP2,MP3 in succession)
5) Menu first to create game save and difficulty and then load which game you would like to play!

I know this does suck the big one to have to change the dol each time but till a newer version of CF or a better rev comes out this will have to do.
If someone else knows of a better way; I would like to know.

nitrozz · Sep 9, 2009

i put cios = "1" as default in wiicoverflow.xml but they don't appear as default in game setup (cf_958)
