Hacking Configurable USB Loader

[FIX94]

@FIX94:
Are there plans to update your previous forwarder (v7->v8) too or will this one based on WiiXplorer code be your default forwarder for CFG now?

I will use the wiixplorer base as default now.
It will need IOS58, but you can install it using this:

and the 4gb bigger files ?!?

I don't understand the question, if you are asking about images that are bigger than 4GB then don't worry. When you convert the iso to a WBFS file it will split it into smaller chunks if you ask it to.

Using v62
The loader didn't recongnize my partition anymore.
I installed the file trough priiloader, is that matter ?
After I delete the file from priiloader, it didn't work too. I upload new files in my SD from filetrip.
Thanks.

I don't think the priiloader matters.
Can you try the latest 63b6 and if it still doesn't work, can you just select the SD device and the fat partition there, just so you can get to global options, where you can then save debug.log, then send me the debug.log (either upload or PM or email...)
What was the last version with which it worked?

 

[zizer]

yes a couple of people complained about 62final but install 63 and it worked

cfg v63 (release)
Cfg_USB_Loader_63.zip
cfg63.dol
cfg63-222.dol
cfg63-compat.dol
cfg63-dbg.dol
lang63.zip
(or online update)
Changes:

10-01-2011 cfg v63 (release)
* Minor cleanups
* Full package changes: covers/2d, Languages -> languages

09-01-2011 cfg v63b6 (beta)
* Fixed crash when missing wiitdb.zip
* Translatable page indicator for wiitdb game info

09-01-2011 cfg v63b5 (beta)
* Fixed coverflow slowdowns when using wiitdb
* Improved switching between games in confirmation screen
(disabled background mp3 while switching because of banner sounds)
* Removed obsolete options cover_url_*_norm

04-01-2011 cfg v63b3 (beta)
* Changed covers_path_2d default value to /usb-loader/covers/2d
instead of /usb-loader/covers however both locations are still
looked up so existing setups should not be affected. Downloading
2d covers will save to /usb-loader/covers/2d only if it exists,
otherwise /usb-loader/covers is used - same as before.
If the option covers_path_2d is set manually in config.txt then
it works same as before, the behaviour isn't changed.
* Optimized sort by install date
* Wiitdb optimisations
* Added uDraw to filter by controller
* Fixed WBFS partition on a 4k sector size drive
* Minor cleanups

31-12-2010 cfg v63b2 (beta)

31-12-2010 cfg v63b (beta)
* Improved device init timeout handling:
If the device doesn't respond in 3 seconds one can
try reloading IOS or exiting to HBC or sys menu
timeout has been increased from 30 to 90 seconds
* Minor cleanups

29-12-2010 cfg v63a3 (alpha)
* Fixed using of ios slots 245 and 246
* Fixed hang when game fails to load (at "Press any button to exit")

28-12-2010 cfg v63a2 (alpha)
* Updated dip+frag plugin for ciosx r21
* Added ciosx r21 base detection (Thanks FIX94)

Thanks oggzee.

I know you already talk about it here but I can't find it:
What's the best way to play COD Black Ops with CFG?

A lot of people ask me about it.

I don't have the game so I can't test it and figure it out, but as a translator I also provide some support.

Please let me know so I can help them

Use an IOS that has base 57. That's all.

Sorry for the double post first!
@Everyone with the loading speed issue:
Please try this, it should work with NTFS.
Download:
USBLoaderCFG - UCXF - IOS58 WiiXplorer v2.wad
USBLoaderCFG - UCXF - IOS58 WiiXplorer v2 dol.7z

A doubt:
This new forwarder looks for sd/apps/usbloader_cfg like the pepxl black edition's forwarder?

See ya!

thank you for the reply!

wiiware forwarder isos created with wad2iso always amend '00' to the discid, yet in the wiitdb.xml, all wiiware titles are labeled with a 4 digit discid. so i tried truncating a wiiware iso discid by using a hex editor to remove the trailing '00'. the game disappeared once i did that though. would it be possible to request that the loader support discs with 4digit discid? or @ least some type of built-in parsing to register wiiware discids(always begin with 'W')? it would be great to have the synopsis displayed with wiiware isos!
please repond if i should use the 4 digit cover id option...will that settle this issue?
?

I will try to update the wiitdb lookup code to test for ID4 too...

 

[Binxy]

I am going nucking futs with this fat32 stuff.
I followed the guide, install the cIos (249 v19 222 v4 223 v4)
I tried Config usb loader 60, 61, and 62. and when I go to start a game It just says LOADING.....and does nothing.
I have tried loading with 249 222 223 250 202, and anyothers I can't think of.

PLEASE HELP.

Thanks in advance.

THX FIX94,
I asked because I have a problem with the new forwarder (USBLoaderCFG - UCXF - IOS58 WiiXplorer v2). Everytime I start CFG trough it or return back to CFG from a game , CFG looses connection to my hdd. I have to reload the IOS by pushing "2" to find the hdd again. Going back to your previous forwarder "USBLoaderCFG - UCXF - IOS58 v7" solves that issue and everything runs fine. CFG app, files, covers... are on SD only. Actually I did not have any issues with v7 forwarder mentioned by others here.

Wii 4.2E, cIOS249base57rev21, CFG 63, latest IOS58 (clean, nonpatched), WD Passport HDD 320GB NTFS, 4GB SDHC FAT32.

 

[markmcrobie]

About every 2nd time I start GX now (using 2.0) I get the message "No WBFS or FAT/NTFS/EXT partition found".

Choosing "Select" shows up nothing. If I unplug my USB drive then plug it back in and restart GX, it finds it and works fine.

This never happened at all, ever, before upgrading to 2.0.

My drive is 100% formatted WBFS

EDITosted in wrong place, should be in USB Loader GX forum. Sorry

Yes it does, I've had Cfg USB Loader in both folders (usbloader and usbloader_cfg) and it works the same way...

 

[FIX94]

Hey guys, here is the new test release using wiixplorer forwarder base, I hope everything works now!
Changes:
-Splash screen removed
-*Should* support ext2, ext3 and ext4 partitions (untested)
-Can also load elf files

Download:
USBLoaderCFG - UCXF - IOS58 WiiXplorer v3.wad
USBLoaderCFG - UCXF - IOS58 WiiXplorer v3 dol.7z
Hey TheRealVisitor, is this one fixing the problem?
@Everyone:
Try it out and say me if everything works now, thanks!

 

[AndaleTheGreat]

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

I really wanna use the alternative forwarder but it keeps saying it can't find boot.dol in /apps/uno then resets. What are the folders it looks in? I tried to use spyder's wad reader but i doesn't seem to work right in win7. the regular forwarder works just fine. Using SDHC

 

[jordan_ch]

thanks a lot! this tool is very useful!!!! i can play 99 per cent games with this tool and the ios249-r21 of waninkoko!

 

[jesquinas]

One question:
It could be possible a only program version of CG USB Loader and when it runs for the first time asks the cIOS to using?

Thx

 

[sideskroll]

I know this probably isn't the right thread to post this but as I'm not sure where the problem lies I'm trying to cover all of the angles.
I had a wbfs fomatted mactor portable basics (fully compatible) working perfectly with all my games. Yesterday I decided to reformat the drive as fat32(32KB if it makes any difference) Cause I thought It would be good to have the extra space available for whatever I could need and seeing as the fat32 support is fully developed by now (I had WBFS since this whole softmod thing started...)
Anyways, long story short it took me FOREVER to backup the games to my hdd, reformat the external drive and then move the backed up games from my hdd to my external AGAIN just to find out my wii doesn't recognize it!!!... The external is the same, the games are the same. Everythings the same.
I'm using the latest revs of everything (at least what modmii downloads for me...) and CFG loader.
Apps stored in the usb drive are not recognized either...
What could be wrong and can you think of something to fix it? (Please don't tell me to reformat my drive again cause I think I'd rather kick myself in the nuts than going through that again...)
Thanks in advance.

PS: I formatted and managed the backups with Wii Bakcup Manager (latest version)
