Thanks a lot

QUOTE(oggzee @ Dec 31 2010, 06:57 PM) Yes the frag module is loaded always if possible even if it's not used later.

I see...
actually, if the frag module is always loaded then it is unuseful showing [FRAG] in the startup screen since it gives no information...

Thank you very much for your awesone job...

At first big sorry for the double post, here is the next forwarder update:
The forwarder is now in v7!
Changes:
-Re-added InitVideo
-Added NTFS support, it's stable
-Will go back to system menu if the dol file not found, in previous versions the wii simply crashed

-Can now show code dumps, in previous version a code dump was there, but not displayed

Download:
USBLoaderCFG - UCXF - IOS58 v7.wad
USBLoaderCFG - UCXF - IOS58 v7 Alternative.wad

So, I don't know what version of the forwarder I was on before, but it used to work great. After applying version 7 of the forwarder, the system just goes back to the system menu after I select 'start'. No messages. Just about two seconds of black screen before I'm taken back. Not sure what I could've done wrong -- I installed USBLoaderCFG - UCXF - IOS58 v7.wad using wad manager. Is this something that others have seen, and if so, what was done to correct it? The Configurable USB Loader itself (v62) works fine from HBC, so it's just the forwarder that isn't working properly on my system. I did some quick browsing and didn't find anyone else mentioning this, so I thought I'd ask.

Thanks!

try to go in sd:/apps/ and rename as usbloader_cfg the folder containing the Configurable boot.dol
If everything runs in HBC then it should be the folder name to be mispelled...

to anyone using priiloader to autoboot: to configurable loader

im testing out my new NTFS drive, and i changed the config file so everything leads to the NTFS1 partition, it pulls up my bg music fine, but wont pull up the box arts.. any idea why?
...
trying to redownload the covers via the loader causes the loader to code dump (63b2)

You don't need to set any of the path options, you can just move the whole /usb-loader from sd to ntfs on usb.
And as already mentioned, the path is ntfs:/ not NTFS1:/
All mount points are printed out in global options in the fs: [ .. ] line

if possible!
It's not always possible to load the frag module - if waninkoko ios is rev17 or less and hermes ios is rev3 or less.
But yeah i could just remove that info as all it does is confuse people.

 

[GolfDude]

what about for channel creation, do i tell crap partition=ntfs or ntfs1?

 

[zizer]

I do not use a forwarder and when the first load through priloeder cfg not see HDD and if i want exit back to the cfg, return_to_channel = ? (i don't now ID)

Sounds like you don`t have IOS58, use this:
http://wiibrew.org/wiki/IOS58_Installer
After the installation everything should work fine.

Ok now it is clear...
just an idea to let everybody understand:
if waninkoko ios is rev17 or less and hermes ios is rev3 or less then write in the startup screen something like "WBFS only access"
otherwise show something like "FAT32/NTFS/EXT3 access enabled"

of course, this is just a two cent idea...

thanks for your awesome job,

[jos v/d linden]

what is the best forwarder to use with rev21.
forwarder that i now use udcf seems not to work properly.
sometimes config is not loading (intro screen freeze).

A little help with themes please,

I'm using the supplied cfg_simple theme, it's the best one for my kids to use (and me as well) but I'd like to tweek it a little

I've changed the covers to 3d with 'cover_style=3d' but there slightly smaller than the 2d ones can the size be increased, also when I select a game can I switch the 'banner sound' picture to the disc.

Thanks in advance.

yes partition selection is like this:
partition=NTFS1
You can see in the partition selection screen how a partition is named and how the mount point is named.

You're right, that would be more clear, but i'll just leave it as is for now.

I'm a bit confused by the recommended cios for cfg. This article gwht IOSes explained
mentions:-

In v4 of Hermes' (the version recommended for Cfg)...

...but then goes on to say the best combination is:-

QUOTE248 rev20 based on 56 - for most things.
247 rev20 based on 57 - for Call of Duty: Black Ops and any other games you have trouble with
224 v5.1 based on 37 - Most compatible Hermes' version

I've always used Hermes and not had problems with it, so I currently use the cfg-222 builds. Would it be possible to clarify the current cios recommendations for cfg in the first post?

Thanks.
In the future can you post the notifications of new translations in that other topic - language files for cfg loader.
That makes it easier for me to collect and update all the translations that accumulate till a new release.
Oh and btw the link you posted is for the spanish translation, but don't worry i got it from your post.

And so it does. Many thanks!

Well, I'm currently using this setup and I have no problems so far:

• IOS222 v4 based on 37+38 (most compatible Hermes version IMHO).
• IOS223 v4 based on 38+60.
• IOS224 v5.1 based on 57 (for Black Ops and other games).
• IOS247 rev20 based on 37 (for some musical games).
• IOS248 rev20 based on 57 (for Black Ops and other games).
• IOS249 rev20 based on 56 (most compatible Waninkoko version, according to WiiPower).
• IOS250 rev20 based on 38 (for some musical games, and for the applications that don't work with any other base than 38, lol).

I mostly use the Hermes' cIOSes with the USB Loaders, and the ones from Waninkoko with NeoGamma (you can change the IOS NeoGamma is going to use by hex editing its config file).
