Hacking Configurable USB Loader

[DGenerateKane]

The version number does not appear there, although it does on the global options page. [FRAG] means that oggzee's frgament patches to the IOS are being applied (you must be using FAT or NTFS). The difference in size is probably due to the removal of the update partition.

[FRAG] is only present when a FAT or NTFS drive is detected? I've got a WBFS drive (always have) and I always see [FRAG] when booting.

I've installed it and everything's worked fine up until now... When I enter into the USB loader app from the HBC, it takes me to the thing with the 30-second time out. I Pop in my SD card and the screen says "OK!" then it won't do anything

I'm trying it with lost winds winter of the melodies in USB.
It just plain freezes and it's pissing me off! Please help.


Do I have my card formatted correctly?
(Sorry for my noobishness)

EDIT: I also own a .wad formatted version of lost winds winter of the melodias... that's not working either.

Quick question. Anyone have an idea why certain game cover images will not download? I have sonic and the black knight ( NTSC ) version and i have Ultimate Duck Hunter ( NTSC ) and Need for speed undercover ( NTSC ) they will not download through CFG either gives a 404 error or an Invalid PNG error..

I understand what those errors mean but even when i go to Wiitdb.com and download the correct covers and place them in the 3d folder on the SD card is still does not load them.

Ive checked the Titles.txt and made sure the cover letters and Iso letters and titles.txt letters match up.

@Kreegoth - Check the width/height of the PNG. Compare it to other covers and see if they're the same. Or maybe it is a bug.

here's the link where I downloaded the torrent from:
Enjoy getting banned. To play the game, go to the Wii Shop and buy it.

Are the game IDs on the drive the same as the ones you are downloading from on WiiTDB? Make sure the images are named correctly.

Please give a direct example of one of these games that doesn't work. What I want is:
[*]The ID listed on the game options page (push 1).[*]The link to the WiiTDB page which has the cover you say is there.[*]the path to which you saved the image you downloaded manually.

First, remove that link cause I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to share links like that. Second, it looks like you only got the .torrent file. You're supposed to open that with a torrent app to actually DL the file. Third, you don't play WiiWare games with Configurable USB Loader. Install .wad files (that's what you're really DLing with a torrent app) with WAD Manager and you'll see the game as a channel on your system menu.

Why quote the link then oO

Some games for me are like that, I can't download the complete image cover for the game. I think it's mostly Japanese games, sometimes European, I think. I beleieve some American games may have a problem, but I am not sure @ the moment.

 

[Kreegoth]

It seems the Game is recognized by the Usbloader as such.

Sonic and the Black Knight RENE8P
NFS Undercover RX9E69
Ultimate Duck Hunter RS2EGJ

While the covers for the NTSC versions of these games are listed as

Sonic and the Black Knight 0ENE8P
NFS Undercover 0X9E69
Ultimate Duck Hunter RS2E20

I renamed the covers to match the Ids from the USB loader and that fixed the problem. Thank you

Just a tiny little shout out to the creators...

I love CFG USB Loader. I just started using an external hard drive for backups, and this is the only loader I've used so far. I'm happy to say that it WILL be the only one I use. The compatibility is great, and the features it has are awesome as well.

Is there any way to disable to format WBFS drive capability ? I don't want my cousins or my parents screw up my NTFS drive

disable_format = 1 in config.txt.

For the other options, look here or run the Configurator.

I have a strange problem: every time I launch a game from usb under cIOS 249 works perfect but when I try to load it under 222,223,224 Hermes v.4 or v.5, Cfg loader freezes when tries to load the game and the blue light stays on. Then I solved the problem by forcing Cfg loader to load under 222 mload in the config file. The games are running fine now but I have another problem now: I have to plug in my usb after Cfg loads and this is very annoying, but if I use 249 as default it works perfect and recognizes my mounted usb but then I can't load Hermes cIOS'es as I mentioned above.

 

[icyrainz]

Thanks Dr.Clipper. Can there be more potential actions from unaware ones that can screw up the drive and the Wii from CFG ?

Some drives don't like switching to Hermes' IOS part way through. Others don't like being launched by Hermes' IOS. You just have the unfortunate case that your drive has both issues.

They could delete your games, so you may want to disable that too (disable_remove). You might also want to disable options (disable_options).

You can actually disable all the things at once by just using simple=1. Finally, if you are really paranoid, disable all the buttons you don't need, which means the total thing can be:

CODE

simple = 1
button_B = none
button_- = none
button_+ = none
button_1 = none
button_2 = none

In the Mario Galaxy 2 thread people say you have to force PAL or w/e for a PAL system, does it do it automatically?

I just ran the NTSC version of the game and it worked normally.

Also, people talk about setting it to 480p?

I checked game options but didn't see anything about forcing PAL or 480p.

Same here. But people talk about "forcing" PAL and 480p stuff, but it all worked automatically.
