From here:

The site seems down, not sure if temporarily or permanently?

 

[ether2802]

Ohh...that is why it doesn't works

hope it is not permanently

HEllo.

Thats a cISO with Snes9x GX v.4.0.9 emulator

.
Games goes into SD, DVD or FAT32 partition.
Game ID: SNES9X (Cover snes9x.png)
Now you have 3 options to load a apps, HBC, Channel and now usb-loader image

Site went down at pretty much at the same time as the GeckOS 1.9.2 source was released I was told.

@oggzee, usptactical:

I've been playing with the new 39b options and want to make sure I have this description right for my tutorial:

 gui_text_color = [black], white, RRGGBBAA
gui_text_outline = [00], RRGGBBAA, AA
gui_text_shadow = [00], RRGGBBAA, AA
gui_text2_color = black, [white], RRGGBBAA
gui_text2_outline = [FF], RRGGBBAA, AA
gui_text2_shadow = [00], RRGGBBAA, AA

The gui_text_* options affect gridflow GUI modes (grid, flow, flow-z). The gui_text2_* options affect the coverflow modes (coverflow3d, coverflow2d, frontrow, vertical, carousel).

Set the gui_text_color to black, white, or an 8 character hexadecimal representation of the colour where RR = red, GG = green, BB = blue and AA = alpha (transparency). The outline and shadow of the text can be set to be a fully selectable hex colour, like the main one. If only a 2 character code is given (AA) then the colour of the shadow and outline will be white if the main colour is dark and black if the main colour is bright.

I specifically wanted to check I got the defaults right, and that the 2 options are really only dependent on the currently selected gui style (i.e., whether it is gridflow or coverflow).

Also, the black option seems to be broken. When I put "gui_text_color=black" or "gui_text2_color=black" then the text colour seems to be extremely faint and unreadable. "gui_text_color=000000FF" works, as does "gui_text_color=white" so I assume this is just a bug that should be easily fixed.

I can't copy it with my WBFS Manager.
If I rename it to .iso it won't get copied and if I try to copy the .ciso it just is getting ignored (it won#t get listed).

Try with this iso:

The defaults are correct.
And thanks for spotting that one, black is fixed now.

The gecko codes database has been moved to geckocodes.org. The loader needs to update to use this site now.

Looks like we need a codes_url option now...

Yay, if only this came in earlier... i just made 39 release :|
oh well, next update..

 

[gizmomelb]

is anyone aware of a site where I can download gecko / ocarina codes en masse as a zip file please? even a torrent would suffice.

it doesn't help when your wii isn't connected online

edit: testing v39 now, I like the improved fonts, makes it a lot easier to read game titles etc.

 

[kavid]

v37+

There is 39 release out now, which should fix that.
Please try and let me know.

 

[WiiModWiis]

Here's the Powerglove pointer I've been using.
Pointer -->

In loader -->

In order for the new pointer to show up, do you simply replace the pointer.png with the custom pointer.png making sure your using the same file name? I tried that and it somehow defaults to a regular "wii hand." Or, do I need to add a line in the config saying something like pointer = pointer.png?

Have the code from Wiipower (which is supposed to increase stability) been implemented in this release ?

I hope the occasional lag in game (and even lockup) can be fixed by this.

Place the file named pointer.png in your sd:/usb-loader directory. That's all you need to do.

This is for loader stability. Not game stability.
