@blackb0x Hi blackb0x, i have tested the latest version of USB Loader GX today with the uneoboot.dol file, and indeed, that was the problem. USB Loader GX will start now without any problem.

But after testing a few GC games, Wii games and emulators the loader became completely unresponsive, i have recorded the problem (the problem started after closing mGBA and the reboot):

VIDEO

As you can see in the video, nothing is working, even the wiimote can't do anything and was not able to shut it off, only holding the power button for a few seconds on the console was the option.

Does it has something to do with the new default IOS?

It might, although I'm also using your theme (it's great by the way) and I haven't had the loader become unresponsive :unsure:

If it's something that you can reliably reproduce with the official version of r1272 then you could try changing the loaders IOS from 58 to 249 in the settings menu. Should that also fail I'll compile a version with Cyan's change reverted for you to test.

Thanks @blackb0x great to hear that you like the theme ;) I will do a couple more tests, maybe i can reproduce the freeze. If it will freeze up again, than i will change the IOS within the settings. I will post the results this weekend.

Can you access the website? BitMitigate might be blocking you if you can't.

Can anyone else who's downloaded my modded version confirm if cheats are downloading correctly for them?

I have tried your USBLoader GX Files (a clean install with no other Files inside) and the download works.:yay:

@alexander1970 Thanks for confirming :)

I've tested the code on a Wii and I've also compiled a version that'll run on Linux, so I know that my codes not at fault. That's why I think Ericsonanzois is either getting blocked by BitMitigate or he needs to remove all traces of USB Loader GX from his SD card and HDD and then try my version.

Hello.:)

Please delete the Content of the Folder "usbloader_gx" on the Wii´s SD Card and copy the Files from @blackb0x´s USBLoader GX Mod into it.
Please backup the Files from your existing USBloader GX before you delete and replace this.

Thank you.:)
Ok. My situation: I have 2 usbloader gx - 1 - 1262 in SD. 2 - usbloader gx mod 3 running via harddisk in USB (with the content from stratch). The "2" (via harddisk) with all original files not would work?

Hello.:)

You can also make an Third one if you like.The Settings for each Version are saved seperate in the associated Folders.You can name it for Example "usbloadergx" instead of "usbloader_gx".If it really not work,please Backup the Version from the SD Card,delete the Folders Content and Copy the Modded Version into.

As long as you know which Version you want to Boot.:)
What will maybe not work is to automatically Boot into this third Version with BootMii/Prilloader or your actual installed Forwarder Channel.You possibly have to start it "manually" from the Homebrew Channel.

Thank you.:)

Bad news: Spiffy360 is gone.
Good news: We thankfully have all the themes on the GBAtemp download center, and we got a full copy of the site archived in archive.org.

Time to remove Spiffy360 support in USB Loader GX?

By the way, GameTDB isn't going anywhere. The admin is still around and cares about the site, and I'm a moderator on the site. If something happens to the admin, he has plans because the site is auto-backed up.

The site has got HTTPS like 2 years ago. Does the cover downloading use SSL yet?

I hope Cyan is OK, it's weird he hasn't been online.

Yep. If you use my version then it'll already download everything over HTTPS.

It is a little odd, but I'm sure he's fine. I haven't seen him online here since August 31st, but his PSN shows that he was playing games this month.
