    Hacking USB Loader GX

    Finally tested out the latest version and it's working great, the new features and compatibility are amazing! Thank you so much @blackb0x for your work on this project. A small feature request: for the "VI Width" option, it would be interesting to be able to force arbitrary (or a preselected...

    We Have Success/Touch Screen

    I managed to get a working apk by following the build instructions at https://github.com/MisterSheeple/Sonic-Mania-Android-Build-Guide and using the latest commits. Very happy to have finally set it up on my phone

    We Have Success/Touch Screen

    Got it, thanks, guess I'll be patient and wait for another build maybe from github. Incidentally I don't even require the touch controls but that's cool that you worked it in!

    We Have Success/Touch Screen

    Thanks for sharing this, is it supposed to include the black-screen fixes that were pushed today? Using the apk you included I still get black screen with sound on my Mali-GPU based phone.

    I changed the boot IOS to 249 and it now it loads fast without any waiting. Thank you for the fix and thanks for your work on this loader.

    Hacking USB Loader GX

    Hi all! I’ve just updated from the last “official” version (the r1272 version from 2019 from sourceforge) to the v7 blackb0x mod. I made sure to completely wipe all the app’s old folders/files as advised when updating. For the most part the new version works great and I like all the...

    Hacking Hex edit DS VC emulator config?

    Thank you, I’ve not played around with FTP but this seems to be a good reason to try it. I appreciate the advice, thanks again!

    Hacking Hex edit DS VC emulator config?

    Thanks— I have no doubt that they’re decrypted after installation, but that leads me to ask how to make the edit post-install? Do I just use an FTP tool to edit the JSON file in place on the USB (or NAND depending)? Or is there software that will let me view and edit my USB’s Wii U formatted...

    Hacking Hex edit DS VC emulator config?

    This sounds promising, and if I understand correctly it means the brightness/screen edits can even be made to a legitimately installed (direct from the eshop) NDS game by modifying or overwriting the installed data on the USB, post install? I’ll do some further research but if there’s a homebrew...

    Hacking Hex edit DS VC emulator config?

    Suppose I would like to install and run a stock NDS virtual console title, without injecting a new rom or altering the assets in any way EXCEPT for the emulator’s brightness and screen size parameters. I realize that I could unpack the title, edit the JSON parameters and repack it, but then...

    Hacking USB Loader GX

    I apologize also if my request came off as irritating... 6 months had passed since I last mentioned the video mode issue before today, and I would gladly wait another six months, years even if that's what it takes. Your support for usbloader-gx is always greatly appreciated! :-)

    Hacking USB Loader GX

    Just wanted to bump this old issue (see also #19775)---in my opinion it remains the only flaw in an otherwise near-perfect loader.

    Hacking USB Loader GX

    True, "force" is no longer the proper word in this context. Among the the Wii and Wiiware games I tested that don't properly patch the video mode, all of them did natively load the desired mode after I manually changed the system configuration to the desired mode. So yes it will no longer...

    Hacking USB Loader GX

    You mentioned earlier it might be possible to force video modes by having the loader edit the sysconf. How feasible might that be?

    Hacking USB Loader GX

    Yes, this is also true. This is a decent idea worth considering as a new loader option, maybe called "Change sysconf video" or similar. It could be used not only for the problem Wii titles I listed, but also for Wiiware/VC channels (since they don't patch with the current method anyways). With...

    Hacking USB Loader GX

    Hmm interesting suggestion... I personally don't know if this is the case---nor do I know to find out. I do know how to examine/extract files from Wii ISOs using Dolphin, but there's probably a better tool for checking the DOL structure. Perhaps since you're asking you know how to check this? :)...

    Hacking USB Loader GX

    Thanks Cyan! I should have tested more games before posting because---after having now checked more---it appears many Wii games can indeed be successfully forced to NTSC480p (again, when the Wii system setting is set to 480i, otherwise patching is irrelevant). Here's the list of games I...

    Hacking USB Loader GX

    Thanks for the suggestion---just tried it with DOL video patch set to "OFF"... same result: it's still failing to force 480p in Wii games when the Wii's system setting is 480i, and vice versa. But again, for Gamecube games, Nintendont is successfully forcing the change from 480i to 480p and...
