Hi all, I'm scratching my brain here....and it hurts...would someone be able to tell me if it is possible to get USB loader to read cheat files for my wii games on my USB drive....or ANY loader for that matter.
I really have been trying to figure this out for myself, but I'm getting nowhere fast.
Ocarina always appeared as a tab in USB GX loader, but I never tried using it...recently I thought it would be cool to download some cheats for my kids to use on their favourite games....the Ocarina tab never worked, so then I thought well maybe I actually needed to download it...even though it is 'there'....so I downloaded Ocarina and placed it in the apps folder of my sd card. My .txt cheat files are in sd://txtcodes and the .gct files are in sd://codes.
I run USB GX loader V3.0 rev.1271 - Ocarina ON and custom paths as they should be, (I've tried VBI and OSSleepthread hooktypes....only played with these because of things I've read...doesn't make any difference)
when I launch a game in USB loader I go to Settings...Game Load...Ocarina ON...Save
If I click on the actual ocarina tab...I get an error message saying 'no cheat file found......says 'download'....or 'cancel'... if I push 'download', it says 'initializing network', shows an IP address, then says that the geckocode etc is not shown on the server'
After some research I installed gecko OS....just because it seems to be pointing in the right direction...and I've managed to get cheats applied to one of my discs, but not ANY of my USB Games.
[Also, there is no load Channel option in my Gecko OS (does this matter?)...I ascertain I would need to get a patch for that if I needed it,....do I need it?].
I just want basic cheats for my USB games. I came across USB Loader GX enhanced....Is it different in that it would support this...or is it just not possible to do at all without the actual disc.
Is it possible? Do I quit? Why is this so hard? Or am I just being stupid?
Any other info you may need....please let me know
Thank you for your time and patience
edit:...Heavens Alive!!!! I went and changed the file name of my Wii txt file cheats in SD:// txtcodes to the relevant GAME ID instead of the Title of the game....and now the cheats load when I enable Ocarina with each game. I haven't actually tried it out yet to see how or if the cheats work,....but they show! Can't believe I didn't think of this first. Feeling dumb, but a happy dumb.
