Hacking Configurable USB Loader

[kimsballs]

Awesome oggzee but is there a line we can add to the config to get it to start in grid flow 1 line or in flow-z 1 line. I believe that is the best looking but can't make it start that way. I tried gui=grid flow gui=flow can't seem to figure it out, if it's possible, and thanks again for the best loader out there.

Not yet, I'll add that and some other cfg options in a day or two and make a proper release.
Sorry to be so late with this, but I just wanted to get a new beta release out as soon as possible.

Hey man, your program + free = your time line. We're all (me at least) grateful for your hard work.

cfg v31b2 (beta2)

http://sharebee.com/d55bb9e7

Changes:

- GUI: New style: "flow-z" (aka Cool Iris)
- Country Patch for better compatibility with some games (by WiiPower)
(for Punch Out & EA Sports on JPN consoles, ...)
Settings menu option: "Country Patch"
config option: contry_patch = [0], 1
- Fixes to IOS 222-mload/223-mload
(fixed occasional hang at start when ios was set in config.txt)
- Hide uLoader's CFG entry (hide_game=__CF) in default config.txt
- Updated titles.txt
- Updated Wolf_3D theme gui background

Can anyone test the country patch option and let me know if it works?

Wow, I tested just before.

JUST AWESOME !!! FLOW-Z !!!

oggzee ! You are really great. You did it by yourself. Really awesome again...

Quick question.
- Waninkoko released the cIOS rev12, so we don't need the hermes's cIOS222, 223 ?
- in theme config buttons = options_b is still available?

-> for you oggzee !!

flow-z is fun to look at, but personally i like just flow better

yes cios rev12 should solve most or all the problems that cios222/223-mload solved before.

options_b will be back

doesn't work atm.

Thanks for this awesome loader.

However I have a problem, I just installed cIOSrev12, and the wiimote sometimes doesn't sync and I have to wait a while before I can choose any game. I set the loader to autostart GUI mode. I noted this is more frequent from the HBC (1.0.3) than the forwarder channel, however I've had that issue with forwarder a few times too.

Any idea what could be wrong?

Bump, any idea on this? Thanks a lot.

Edit: This is what I have on the cfg:

theme = cfg_White_3D
disable_remove = 1
disable_format = 1
device = usb
home = exit
confirm_start = 0
confirm_ocarina = 1
gui = start

No idea what's the problem with cios12 & wiimote, I haven't tried cios12 yet

Love the flow-z style. Is fish-eye lens next...j/k.

Do you think there can be an option to set the style and # of rows in the config.txt so that it always starts in our preferred mode?

oggzee, just asking... is it posible to add DVD backups compatibility for the dumping process? I care about this 'cause i have many friends that have good games, but burned into DVD-R's (and my PC's download speed is too slow).

P.D.: this loader is amazing, =D!

Emm, what?
By dump you mean install to hdd?
As far as I know it installs games from DVD-R just fine.
Or is there some other problem?

for fat32 to work, you have to move all config files to fat32 partition as well.
That is a limitation for now. You can't have some files on sd and some on usb, with the exception to the boot.dol file.
So, copy the complete structure of sd:/usb-loader and sd:/apps/usbloader to usb/fat32, then remove sd:/usb-loader and sd:/apps/usbloader/config.txt
Let me know if this helps..

Ok, here is what I found out with the FAT32 configs (at least on my system)

Test 1: 1Gb WD drive
Partition 1: 929GB WBFS
Partition 2: 1.9GB FAT32
does not recogonize FAT32

Test 1: 1Gb WD drive
Partition 1: 600GB WBFS
Partition 2: 1.9GB FAT32
Partition 3: 163GB NTFS
Partition 4: 165GB NTFS
does not recogonize FAT32

Test 1: 1Gb WD drive
Partition 1: 1.9GB FAT32
Partition 2: 929GB WBFS
works perfectly

So.. On my system it requires that the Fat32 partition be Partition 1.

In a few days, perhaps I'll try a 3 or 4 partition config with fat32 as partition 1

Thanks for the assistance and a killer front end. Hopefully this helps.

One more request... Is is possible to add a per game ios preference that can be saved?

Thanks

can there be a different forwarder channel for this loader? the Ultimate USB Loader uses the same forwarder and that is the one that loads up when I enter it and not this loader? thanks

Hey, thanks for the report, seems you are right, I have tested this a bit and it seems fat32 has to be the first partition to work. Looks like a problem with libfat, so it wont be fixed soon. For the moment we'll just have to deal with this limitation. I will update the doc.

cfg v31 (release)

http://sharebee.com/b003d644

Changes:

 - option: gui_style = [grid], flow, flow-z
ÂÂ Set the default GUI style

- option: gui_rows = [2] (Valid values: 1-4)
ÂÂ Set the default number of rows in GUI mode

- gui_text_color = [black], white, HEX
ÂÂ Set the text color in GUI mode
ÂÂ Note: to use a color other than a black or white, it has to be
ÂÂ represented as a HEX value with the following components: RRGGBBAA
ÂÂ RR=red, GG=green, BB=blue, AA=alpha
ÂÂ Example: red = FF0000FF, blue = 00FF00FF, yellow = 00FFFFFF

- Return directly back to GUI mode if any action is started from GUI mode
ÂÂ Also return to GUI if the action is canceled.
ÂÂ Action refers to one of: install, remove, options, run game

- Re-enabled buttons=options_B
ÂÂ If options_B is used then GUI mode switching is done with button 1

- Changed option covers_path to global instead of theme option
ÂÂ In addition the following options are added:
ÂÂ option: covers_path_2d
ÂÂ option: covers_path_3d
ÂÂ option: covers_path_disc
ÂÂ cover_style will then select which of the above paths is used
ÂÂ Changing covers_path will change all covers_path_* like this: 
ÂÂ covers_path_2d = covers_path
ÂÂ covers_path_3d = covers_path/3d
ÂÂ covers_path_disc = covers_path/disc
ÂÂ If you need fine controll on the 2d/3d/disc paths use the
ÂÂ covers_path_* after covers_path.

- Per-game save settings: country_patch, ios

Ok, here's a video of flow-z (aka Cool Iris) gui mode in action as well:

Oh and cheers to the GAF friends!

 

[thc42O]

Im in the process of reformating my hdd because WBFS was first partition

 

[lejong2002]

cfg v31 (release)

Really Cool !
I'll test later.

Changing cover_path option to global makes sense.
Why don't you change cover_url option to global ?

And when we can config the titles.txt file directory?

Awesome again oggzee. !!!

Well, it just keeps saying the typical "Not a Wii DVD" error, =(. I'm using the cIOS rev12 by Waninkoko... Could you help me out?
