Thanks - I'll check FTPii out

I realise Wifi is much slower than wired. Does FTPii support WBFS partitions or will I need to use FAT and .wbfs files?

It only supports FAT.

Is Splinter Cell Double Agent ever going to boot with usb loader cfg? Great loader, it's the only one I use. In v48 I could boot Splinter Cell until it locked up on the "loading" screen. v50c and v51b2 both give me a DSI Exception/stack dump, doesn't even attempt to load the game. It seems like the progress just went backwards.

The reason I ask is because Red Steel didn't used to work, and since the addition of the alt. dol, it now loads. What is holding up Splinter Cell. With every new release of Configurable USB Loader, the first thing I do is check and see if Splinter Cell works. I did rip from retail disc and left the ISO unpatched. I even tried cIOS38 rev16, no joy yet, back to rev14.

I use Win7 Ultimate and USB:\WBFS\ID{6}_TITLE\ID{6}.wbfs on my FAT32-harddrive. Tried to use the scripts from wbfs_file 2.8 to change the wbfs folders to "TITLE [ID]/ID.ext".

The VBS scripts produced zero changes. I have titles.txt and the scripts in the UBS:\WBFS directory. Am I using the right scripts to rename the directories according to the "d2" option in wbfs_file?

Do you have wbfs_file.exe in the same directory, too? I'm not sure if that's necessary, but I had that there and it worked for me.

Hey guys,

I have this weird flaky image when i autoboot the loader from the forwarder through preloader 0.29.

Are there any fixes??

Click to expand...

That looks more like a TV fault than anything else. Does it only happen when autobooting? What happens if you unplug and reinsert the video cable, or switch channels?

It's not my TV, i'm sure of it because i plugged the wii into my other TV and its the same.

Yes, it only happens when i autoboot the forwarder through preloader 0.29 and if i use priiloader 0.3b it gives a black screen.
It works well when i boot the loader from the forwarder channel.

The wii is not responsive when i get this image, have to force it to shut down.

noob moment here but everytime i press B to enter the console view from gui view i get kicked back to the gui, i dont think its the revs but the config but cant seem to pinpoint it, currently using the latest rev and IOS222 globally and using WBFS if that makes a difference. i'll post the config.txt asap as im posting this using the wii lol

Yes, it's all there. In "USB:\WBFS" I have all files from the original wbfs_file-folder. The script takes about a minute to finish and when the last message pops up, it said it didn't change anything, and that's what happened.

Oops, had the wrong issue here. You get kicked back to the GUI when trying to access the console? That is weird...

Does DVD Backup launch work with last Beta and cios 38 rev 17?

Is it safe to update or should we stay with cios 38 rev 14?

pepxl, it's buttons=original. That option value is kind of broken, as the original button map does not support the GUI/console switch.

Hate to even have to ask this question as I have always been able to find the answers I seek by searching but it seems this time I cannot so I have to ask. I cannot seem to get Band Hero to load using cios222 or 223 because I am missing ehcmodule4.elf. It seems that and external ehcmodule file is needed since rev50 or so and yet I have not been able to find a place to download this external module. Can anyone please help me find it.

Thanks,

Is MPT working with rev 17 and configurable usb loader without using the alt dol method?

1 - Download this: ULoader v3.0B
2 - Find ehcmodule.elf in uloader_v3.0B folder you just extracted, copy and rename it to sd:/usb-loader/ehcmodule4.elf *make the folder and rename

external ehcmodule is not needed, how did you come to that conclusion?

You only need titles.txt and the rename_folders-title [id].vbs file in the /wbfs directory.
You could try uncommenting the WScript.Echo lines in renameTitle() and let me know what it says.

cfg v51 (release)
Cfg_USB_Loader_51.zip
cfg51.dol
cfg51-fat.dol
(or online update)
Changes:
cfg v51 (release)
* New Sort: last play date
option: sort = play_date
* Removed empty line from game list when showing database info
* Secondary sort using titles added. Lists should be consistent
when there are matching values now

cfg v51b3 (beta3)
* Fixed the ambiguity with the game dir layouts (ID_TITLE or TITLE [ID])
* fat_install_dir = 2 will use the new layout (TITLE [ID]) when
installing
* Removed redundant options from main menu.
* Cleaned up the sort and filter menus.
Improved sort menu. Ascending / descending options for current
sort are remembered.
* Color of database info now changed.
* Install and disc boot menus will show [?] cover before a disc is
read, and game cover for disc if found.

cfg v51b2 (beta2)
* More bug fixes
Loader no longer crashes when trying to sort or filter without
a database.
Accented characters now show up in the synopsis.
Display of synopsis cleaned up and improved.
Entities now converted in the synopsis. (", etc)
Main menu will respect the disable_options configuration.
sort=play_count now works properly without reloading the game list.

cfg v51b (beta)
* Minor bug fixes
Loader will not wait for a button press in the event a database
is not found.
Disc boot menu will show the proper database information.
* Changed db_url option and db_language option slightly
option: db_url = [http://wiitdb.com/wiitdb.zip?LANG={DBL}]
{DBL} will be replaced by the db_language value
option: db_language = [AUTO], EN, JA, German, etc
* option: "-asc" is no longer necessary to specify a sort as ascending.
* db_show_info no longer hides the hdd info or footer in the console.
* Added more game directory layouts: (by oggzee)
/wbfs/TITLE_[GAMEID]/GAMEID.wbfs
/wbfs/TITLE [GAMEID]/GAMEID.wbfs
/wbfs/TITLE[GAMEID]/GAMEID.wbfs
When loading games from FAT or NTFS
* Added {PUB} to cover url options.
{PUB} will be replaced by the last two characters of the ID
(the publisher)
This can be used to do things like forcing NTSC covers for
PAL games by replacing {CC} with US and {ID6} with {ID3}E{PUB}

cfg v51a (alpha)
* Wiitdb support. Can be downloaded inside the loader on the
global options screen.
* Enhanced nunchuk support: C mapped to A, Z mapped to B
* Filtering of games based on certain criteria
* Sorting of games based on certain criteria
* Gameplay history
* Disc Loading
* New: Main menu accessible by pressing - or going to the
global options screen.
Disc loading, sorting, filtering, and more options are located here.
* option: db_url = [http://wiitdb.com/wiitdb.zip?LANG={db_language}]
URL to download database from.
* option: db_language = [Console Language], EN, JA, German, etc
Language to use for the database. If invalid or not able to be
displayed by the loader this will default to English.
Both country codes (EN) and languages (English) are valid.
* option: db_show_info = [1], 0
Show info loaded from the database.
* option: write_playstats = [1], 0
Write to the play history file.
* option: sort = [title-asc], etc
Change the default sorting method. Default is Title Ascending.

Valid sort options:
"title" => Title
"players" => Number of Players
"online_players"=> Number of Online Players
"publisher" => Publisher
"developer" => Developer
"release" => Release Date
"play_count" => Play Count
"install" => Install Date
(This will only work with FAT or NTFS drives)
To use ascending add "-asc" to the option.
ie: sort = players-asc

To use descending add "-desc" to the option.
ie: sort = players-desc

laurozza · Jan 17, 2010

Thanks gannon, i think that the last play date is the better sort option.

Veristical Blaze · Jan 17, 2010

I got an error when i tried to install a retail Super Smash Bros. Brawl. it was -2. Does this have to do with the Dual layer thing?

ChaosEnergy · Jan 17, 2010

i get error -2 when trying to play gh5 from disc with cios249 rev17...with cios223 it works fine
assuming you use cios249, does it work with cios222/223?
