Hacking Configurable USB Loader

[goku1980]

Then I must b a fluke because I passed 500 games like a year ago lol I'm currently at 928(lill over 450 wiiware iso's)

and each game has its own section in your settings.cfg?

reading is fun-damental.

FYI cIOS d2x v4beta4 implements a "return to channel" feature fully compatible with all games.

I have used the cfg usb loader for a long time.
Thanks oggzee for your great job.

I have a little problem about cfg today.
The number of games within setting.cfg file seems to have the limitation? (500, right?)
I can't setup any game again?

Can you fix this, or what I missed...
Thanks again

cfg usb loader v67c
game partition : both the ntfs and wbfs

Yes there is that limitation, I can raise it but I didn't think it would ever be necessary.
The idea was that the default game settings can be used by 95% of the games and you would need to save the settings only for the games that don't work with the default setup.
Looks like you have saved the setting for each game even if it is not changed compared to the default options?

I've been using GFG for awhile now with over a thousand games and have
only had to change the settings on... well, less than 10 games. I admit I
haven't tried them all but, so far, all are working great that I have tried.

If you have to change the settings on ALL your games it may be time to
consider changing your global settings to something a bit more compatible.
I simply use the default global settings.

Now that there's a cIOS that supports 4k sector size drives in FAT32 have
you considered updating CFG to offer FAT support for the new 4k sector
size drives? I would be glad to test at your convenience.

To be honest, there are only a handful of us using these new drives but it
would be appreciated. Right now, the only way to use these drives is with
WBFS. Ironic, isn't it? The only way to use the most modern drives on the
Wii is with an obsolete file system

I've installed the cios beta, and i'm awaiting the implementation to CFG, this sounds truly awesome!

Love the work all you guys put into these projects for he likes of myself and others. It really is a stellar job

Hi,

I'm trying mount a FAT1 drive on a friends wii (contains wbfs folder), it sees the partition but when I click mount I get this error

ERROR: USB/FAT mount WBFS1 (0)

Any help please?

any one tried to load a cheat?

no working for me?

You need to try all different Hook types in Game Settings and hope for one to work for you...

Would it be possible to put an admin unlock/lock button somewhere in the gui? Maybe in the settings section. That way I can just click "unlock" and enter the code, or hit "lock" to lock it again. Sometimes I just get tired of having to hold down the button for 10 seconds to bring it up - especially if I press a wrong button and enter the code wrong, have to go through the process all over again. If this is something that can already be done, I apologize, but I didn't see it as an option. Thanks.

Update: OK, so I see it under Settings -> System, but doesn't help me when I have the System option locked down to begin with. Is it possible to bring the admin lock button out of system into a place that can always be used, or maybe a way to have the options in the system are locked except for the admin lock feature? Maybe I need to take a look at the new Configurator...

Update2: So played around with configurator but guess currently I can't do what I'd like to do, which is have disable_options = 1, but still have a way to just have admin_unlock always usable (clickable) in the UI without having to hold the button.

hey oggzee, think for the next release, you can enable BOTH usb portsfor use with cfg? I have my games on multiple flash drives and I would appreciate it if you could make that happen.

Using the other port requires changes to the IOS that has been installed. What you are suggesting is just not possible to do with changes to the loader alone.

Either:
- press and hold wiimote button 1
- or when pressing wiimote button A on settings gui button keep holding A.
let me know if that works or not.. it should.

Right, those two methods work, but what I'm looking for is the possibility to not have to hold any buttons to bring up the admin unlock. I'd like to keep it child-proof, but at the same time, have the option to have the admin unlock button always enabled/showing somewhere just for quicker access.

Why is it important that you don't have to hold any button to get admin unlock?

i been using cfg usb loader for a while.. but i havent checked the release notes of each version..since v39
can cfg usb loader work from ntfs now? (as in resource files/covers)
i currently have one fat32 with cfg usb loader and the covers, and a ntfs with the isos...
since yesterday (version 68) cfg usb loader freezes doing any file related task (cover download, witdb download, title.txt download) i wonder if is related to fat32 limits

 

[buddy]

It would just be quicker to click a button on the screen and enter the code, and like I said before, quicker to return to the unlock should I mess up the code the first time around. Not a big deal though.

no , fat 32 is not related with your issue

yes cfg work with ntfs

im going to rephrase to make sure i get the right answer to the right question:

Can cfg usb loader LOAD (boot.dol) from a ntfs partition and have its resources (usbloader folder with all the files inside included covers) be on a ntfs partition too?

im asking this, cuz this wasnt possible before.. the application needed to be on a fat partition..

Check out the official forwarder (linked in first post): CFG Forwarder
Worked flawless for me last I tried.

Hi oggzee,
All the person who gave the opinions about setting of games using CFG.
They must be correct. but my situation is different with them

My wii is J version, others must be E or P version.

I have softmoded a E version wii several months ago.
Indeed, It don't need too much setting about the games (E or P version).
(5% under, even less)
In opposite, It needs to set with the games (J version) mostly!!

Since I have 2 HDD, I have seperated the setting file to 2 parts.
It seems ok to me now.

Thanks to your great job again
