Hacking Configurable USB Loader

[bubbleboy]

Hi, a quick question:

How can I use the upper USB port on the Wii? Ie not the default one.

Thanks!

cfg v54 (release)
cfg54.dol
cfg54-fat.dol
lang54.zip
Cfg_USB_Loader_54.zip (full)
(or online update)
Changes:

cfg v54 (release)

* Fixed: wiird = 2 (paused start) (by WiiPower)

cfg v54b3 (beta3)

* IOS 249 rev18 support

cfg v54b2 (beta2)

* Separate ocarina and hooktype options:
ocarina = [0], 1
hooktype = nohooks, [vbi], wiipad, gcpad, gxdraw, gxflush, ossleep, axframe
* Print a warning if ocarina/wiird enabled but hooks can't be set
* Print "Loading..." translation before freeing unifont

cfg v54b (beta)

* wiitdb: fallback to game language if configured language is not found
* new option: wiird = [0], 1, 2
1 = enable debugger
2 = enable debugger and pause start
* changed option: ocarina = [0], 1, vbi, wiipad, gcpad, gxdraw, gxflush,
ossleep, axframe, nohooks
ocarina = 1 is same as ocarina = vbi
* support for wiitdb case color attribute (usptactical)

cfg v54a2 (alpha2)

* Per-game playlog writing now uses the game's language setting to determine
the title to use.
* titles_url default now uses {DBL} instead of {CC}.
* Both titles_url and db_url can accept both {CC} and {DBL} tags now.

cfg v54a (alpha)

* Gecko OS 1.9 cheat engine aka Ocarina 2 aka Bralw+ support (by WiiPower)
* Changed write_playlog to be a per-game option (Clipper)
* fixed db_language AUTO setting and lang_to_cc function for Chinese languages. (Clipper)

Great features so far.

I want to request something:
- When you download a update, you need to manually restart the Wii to re-enter to CFG USB Loader and use the new version that you downloaded. But the thing is, can you make a option to automatically restart the CFG USB Loader when you download it or at least reboot to Wii Menu or Homebrew Channel?
- A option that, when you update online, if you update meta.xml, the CFG USB name, updated meta.xml can have 1 or 2 dots before the name (to give priority in Homebrew Channel list).

1) just press home button after the update is downloaded and it will reboot to wii menu or hbc, depending on your settings...
2) not sure i want to complicate that.. there's other things more important to work on...

I kept on accidentally updating my meta.xml as well (it was hard to remember to push 1 instead of A at the update screen). I realised a few versions ago that I could just mark the meta.xml file read-only and then even if I accidentally push A, the meta.xml file is never updated

Sorry guys, hate to go on about it, had a good look through the FAQ but can't find any reference to using the other USB port.. any pointers/hints as to where I should look?

I have a question. Maybe someone here can help.
I´ve got about 170 games on my USB HDD and the loader is only showing about 150, is there any way to get it to show all of them or do I have to make 2 partions?
Thanks.

What are the filenames and directory names of the games which aren't showing up?

Many thanks to Waninkoko and oggzee for this new cIOS and CFG update! Now, with cIOS18 (based on IOS60) I can even play Zangeki no Reginleiv online with no lag and fortunately I don`t have to use the ugly as hell uLoader anymore for that game.

Really appreciate all the updates and features of your loader and I`ve never regret it, that I changed my default-loader from GX to CFG-Loader. Keep up the great work

Hi there, this isnt really a "problem" it just bugs me a bit.
When i goto launch a game or goto options menus in the loader, the screen sorta shrinks a bit.. like its changing video modes or something? is there a way to stop this?

This is the FAQ item:
* Black bar at the bottom of screen in console mode with 576i video mode
You can use a component cable and use the 480p video mode...

I think I've finally found the first real disadvantage to using FAT32. And I don't want to go to WBFS

Maybe there's another workaround, but I'll post it in the relevant forum. (In short, plugging my HDD into USB0 only allows me to use standard A/V cables, instead of component cables, as soon as I plug in the HDD when using component cables the screen goes black, nothing to do with Config USB Loader, which is still #1!.)

Thanks Oggzee!!!

Sorry my mistake. I decided to double check and found out that the Wii Backup Manager didn´t put all of them on. Maybe it was just too much for it.
Thanks anyhow.
A real big thanks to all of those that work on this. Great Job!

We'll fix that some day...

That's a pretty weird issue

Well it shows all of them from Letter A to Su. The rest, to Z, doesn´t show.

Can you post exactly the dir and file name of the last visible game and the first that doesn't show up?

Yeah.. just had a look around, sorry if this is off topic!!

Seems other people have the same problem.

Will stick with normal AV cables for now because I love config loader and my FAT drive combo!

thanks again!!!

Are your hard drive, TV and Wii plugged into the same power socket (e.g., via a double adapter or power board)? If not, give that a try. If that fixes the problem, then you have grounding issues in your residence and you may want to get things checked by an electrician.

The best loader I have seen. Thanks for this.

Just a quick question I have an ISO trimmed on a FAT32 USB drive, but the programma doesn't recognize it. Since CIOSX Rev18 is supported I thought it would. I just placed it in the root of my USB drive. Any step I missed? I also put a wbfs folder on the drive with a wbfs file in it and it is recognized, but hermes cios is needed. (Which offcourse isn't installed and can't be run yet) So it's not the drive making troubles.

EDIT: Found the solution. Missed a step in the FAQ. I need to copy it to the wbfs folder

The FAT support in rev 18 is not good enough for Cfg and is not supported. oggzee is looking to see if he can work his magic into getting it up to speed, though. For the time being, you must install IOS222 in order to use a FAT partition.
