i can ensure you that they work, as i stated in my previous post all worked fine when tested and used on a black 4.2E wii modded today which was only bought 10 days ago....

are you using the updated forwarders or older ones(V2-V4). and there is a compatible MPlayer CE 0.76 forwarder availble that doesnt use the official googlecode boot.dol aswel as one that does.

i will only look into them if more that one person can state the issues your having

one last thing do you have IOS35 installed? as the forwarder need it to boot the apps

Yeah i have the Cios... and the forwarders do work, but i wasn't able to load my HDD with the lastest version of few applications, but loading stuff from SD was working, it might be something related with my Wii, or just an HDD incompatibility

still i will do my best to pinpoint the errors if they are due to the forwarders,but some apps wont allow you do boot off HDD only SD, thats how some are coded but tantric emus should be fine aprart from the odd bugs ppl are getting about the app not seeing their HDD or saying it cant be found then can

@pepxl - I have the same issue as Skidmore. VBA, FCUE, and SNES9x forwarders load via SDHC but I get the "USB Drive not Found" in each emu. Works fine in HBC. I had the same problem with TroyTheZombie's forwarders. If I use HBC, I can load my roms off my FAT HDD. Using a Western Digital Passport 500GB.

Hey da_xman try out changing the boot.dol in the apps directory of those emulators to Snes9xGX 4.1.0, FCUE 3.0.8 and see if it works.

Skidmore, Changed the boot.dol to those versions of the emu and they work find with the forwarders. Wonder what changed between these versions and the later versions. Either the forwarder hasn't been loading the lib for USB support or the emu's left it up to the forwarders to load it. Weird since these animated forwarders are based off of the USB Loader GX wad??

the boot.dol has nothing to do with GX, the only thing the forwarders/hybrids are based on are the layout of the channel and animation....... everything else it done by me, graphics, sounds(not all mine) and boot.dol

ive finally found my devkit R17 so im gonna install that and see if that makes any different to USB loaing

Thank you! All of your animated forwarders channels are really cool and useful!

Can you make a channel for "WiiRadio" and "WiiEarth"? That would be awesome!

Pd. Sorry for my bad english!

Sounds good pepxl! I noticed others have been experiencing the same problem, not necessarily with your forwarders but other forwarders (TroytheZombie's to be exact). "USB drive not found" in the emu's.

When you develop the new ones let me know pepxl, so i can try them out..... and i have a request, can you do the splash screen of genplus and smsplus like the ones of Snes9x and e FCE9x, with that Image rather than the FAT loading and boot search stuff.

no worries ill let you no

ecke ecke emus and certain apps wont run with a boot.dol with splash screens its something to do with the entry point i think, so only djdynamite dols work which has the verbose output unfortunetly

I have a problem, hoping someone can help. CFG USB loader and hermes Uloader are the only two that I've gotten to work without going to a blank screen, thats fine with me. I was very happy to find CFG but now am trying to figure out the forwarder.

I have my SD card like this: SD:\apps\usbloader_cfg and SD:\usb-loader I can install the wad, the channel shows up, but it goes to a black screen and never brings up the loader. Any ideas?

Oh yeah, I read earlier in this thread you needed IOS35 installed. I suppose while being in wad manager, if you can select to use ios35 for installation, that means you have it, right? I used ios249. not sure if it makes a difference.

Thanks in advance guys.

some apps that allow you to select an IOS but does not mean you have it installed, use dop-ios mod and see if it is installed if not use it to install it but all forwarders work apart from the marked ones that do not

also all versions of uloader and CFG to date have worked no problem with the forwarder, i currently use uLoader 3.5 OGG and CFG 50c

what method or guide did you use to hack your wii as some on the net are complete rubbish claiming to be the best or most up to date

QUOTE(uberbdon @ Dec 31 2009, 12:34 AM) yeah, I'm having the same problem myself, and nobody can provide an answer, or even tries to. I've asked on several different boards, too, so don't expect an answer :\ unfortunately

and please you just joined here and posting things like this isnt going to help as ppl read this sort of thing and ignore you for being cheeky
