Huge Success!
I too made it to work with gparted!
The trick is to enable 'boot' flag on the fat32 partition, in other words making it active.
Here's a screenshot how to set the boot flag on fat32 partition in gparted:
I should have mentioned my fat32 partition was in second place... I thought I got it wrong and by "MBR mode" you meant "set to active" when it worked after I set it to active, that explains it... For Windows users too lazy to reboot the home version of "Easeus Partition Master 3.5" is free.

In Windows, it is easy to do this in the control panel. You select administrative tools before computer management.oggzee said:
Then you select Disk Management and go on ...
Right click on a partition gives you access to active it ...
You have a good tutorial here : http://www.d-silence.com/feature.php?id=246
Oggzze you have the very best gui at all... and the best configurable loader...
It is difficult to find something more to do...
Just a couple of more ideas:
1) the config file is very anonymous (config.txt) and could create conflicts with different apps willing to save their settings in a commonly named "config.txt" file.
It could be better to rename the config file in order to have it unique for your Loader (just like the config file of USB Loader GX which is named "GXGlobal.cfg").
For example something like "CFGconfig.txt" or "CFGloader.cfg" would be perfect. The same could be done also to the themes folder, renamed as "CFGthemes" folder.
2) it could be useful not to mix the specific CFG Loader files with the ones of other loaders.
In this light, it could be useful to move the common background images from the "sd:/usb-loader/" folder to the "sd:/usb-loader/CFGthemes/" folder. The rule should be changed as follows:
"Background images are searched first in the theme directory (sd:/usb-loader/themes/THEME_NAME/) and if not found they are searched in the base directory (sd:/usb-loader/CFGthemes/)."
At the end of all of this default reconfiguration, the "usb-loader" folfer of your distribution should just contain 4 stuff:
the two shared "covers" folder and "titles.txt" file, the two specific "CFGconfig.txt" file and "CFGthemes" folder.
No more way to confuse the CFG files with others of different loaders...
Thanks for your great job...

I unfortunately did it with partition manager, which then hid my other volumes. Then I fixed it using Acronis.
@ zorglub07, ulysse57, coreduo0099:
Thanks for the hints and tools!
The reason I couldn't use windows partitioning is that I was making 2 partitions on a USB thumb drive, where windows allows only 1 partition to be present, that's why I was using gparted. The same is valid for SD cards, windows won't allow 2 partitions on those either... If I tried to do that with a regular external usb hdd then I guess it would have worked on windows too, but I only have 1 drive and didn't want to reformat it
and reinstall all the games, but I'll have to someday...

In a way that's already possible, just move all the stuff in /usb-loader/* to /apps/USBLoader/ including the config, themes and everything and it's done.
So I think it's not really necessary to rename the files.
I think if I start renaming files, it will just cause confusion.

my apologies to you, I didn't see the 2 forward channels in blue and orange color, but they both still load the Ultimate USB Loader 7.4 and not the Configurable Loader, hope that a new forwarder channel will be made
Thanks Oggzee for your quick and kind answer.oggzee said:cambric said:

Two more ideas for your global config file:
secondary_backgrounds_path = [sd:/usb-loader/]
titles_path = [sd:/usb-loader/]
the first one to look for the background images not found in the "sd:/usb-loader/themes/THEME/" folder, the second one to locate the titles.txt file...
Thanks for doing the best USB Loader.
cambric said:
The first thing is also already done, if a background image is not found in the theme dir, then it is searched in the config dir, be it /usb-loader or /apps/USBLoader/ if /usb-loader/config.txt does not exist.
While the titles.txt is searched in the same location as the config.txt, true, it's not possible to change that at the moment, and I'm not even sure if that's really all that necessary

Thanks again Oggzee...
I know that the first thing is already done, but the use of path variables give more freedom levels to locate the directories somewhere else... this was the real idea...
The same was for the titles.txt file path, and the same could be for something like
themes_path = [sd:/usb-loader/themes/]
This last one is already done, but the path variable allows to locate the themes folder wherever you want...
These are ideas just to let your loader really the most configurable one...
Sorry if I bother you...
I love all the new features, especially z-flow.
Can you please make gui_text_color a theme config entry (not global), since theme backgrounds change color. Thanks.
Also please, please make the selected theme save as teh default inside the loader (1000th time I requested
)

Actually, gui_text_color is a theme option
I forgot to mention that in the readme, lol
Try it out. For example the Wolf_3D theme uses gui_text_color = white
As for saving the selected theme, yes I'll do that in one of the next versions...

Thanks to Wiipower for the fix!

@oggzee:
About the per game save function, once the game state is saved, the items in option menu is locked until the save is discarded. Would you please modify it so that the option can still be changed even the state is saved ? This is because sometimes we just want to change the state once (in a while). For example, we want to turn on Ocarina only for this time, without changing our saved state. The effect is just what have been done in Ultimate loader.
Many many many thanks indeed !

Hmm, I have tried it now and works fine for me.
Anyone else with this issue?
Is the problem repeatable?
Does it work with some other loader?
I did however found a different problem with cios 249 rev13:
If you start a game and then go back to system menu via the home button and try to start some other game with the usb loader it will hang, I have tried this also with the original waninkoko usb loader and has the same issue. The wii console has to be powered off and turned on again to be able to run a different game. So it seems to me a problem with cios 249 rev13, or maybe there is some other new fix required for this to work properly...

I feel like school, back when I was actually in school, was more entertaining though, because of how much I get to interact with people, hang out with friends, and other stuff like that. All I get to talk to at work is my boring coworkers lol
