Hacking Configurable USB Loader

[skylinekiller]

I just hacked 3 Wiis using a pretty good all-in-one tutorial I found the otehr day. One Jap, and two US. All were on 4.3. When I loader v.7 All the games load fine from hard drive on Japanese Wii. The U.S. Wii's only play about half of the games. Once I click on the game and load it, I get an MS DOS looking screen with a lot of texts. and stays on the black screen with texts.

Any ideas?

I love Config USB Loader. I find whenever I use my old copy of Config v70 and D2Xv7-final EVERYTHING works, pal or ntsc games (it's an ntsc system). But whenever I have used Config v70r34 or really anything in the new beta release area (above r15) that the colors are all black and white in the games, I assume this is because of pal games not displaying correctly. This is a problem because about 1/2 of my games are pal on this ntsc system, and they used to display just fine on default settings with Config v70. I DO NOT want to go into every pal game and setup video to "System Default"

Video is set at within Config v70r34 for all games, I think I found the problem, it needs to be changed to for all the games! The default needs to be changed, as this is an NTSC system. Unsure why it was not that way by default, seemed to work well in Config v70

So, I checked, within sd:\usb-loader\config.txt it has a line of "video = system" and my config.txt looks like this:
theme = wiihacks.com
device = usb
gui = start
gui_transition = fade
gui_style = flow
gui_rows = 2
covers_path = sd:/images/
ios = 249
video = system


Right now, all my game settings are defaulting to Video: within every game in within Config v70r34
but video = system is in my sd:\usb-loader\config.txt

Any ideas what is going on ? I don't want to downgrade guys

Add on note: As a temp workaround I downgraded to Config v70r15 by ONLY replacing sd:\apps\USBLoader , absolutely nothing else. It now is reading sd:\usb-loader\config.txt perfectly and all games are now defaulting properly to Video: . Weird, why is Config v70r35 not reading the video=system line, any ideas?

any idea how long it would take to add Dios Mios support?

 

[the_randomizer]

Yes, how long would it take? This would be quite an advantageous thing to have.

Is it worth posting the the Cfg USB Loader Mod Issues list?

r35beta2 works fine for me loading DM 2.0


Any chance though to make if an official update and get rid of the green buttons?

thanks for this custom unofficial release DM works fine
Is there a standard official version around? (i.e no rabbit and no green buttons)

 

[the_randomizer]

That was fast oO and what's this "green button" business I keep hearing about?

The main icons(system,settings ext..)all have green around them and are a little off center it appears.
Also on the main loading screen there is an added icon

What format do the GC files have to be for the loader to read them? I tried iso and wbfs and none of those work. Also, how do I get it to install games from a disc to my hdd? It keeps trying to install to the sd card.

 

[airline38]

mod r36 beta1
==============
1. Change default GC disc dump directory from
SD card (sd:\games)to USB (usb:\games)

2. Added "Channel" option (from Main Menu)
for Wiiware/VC (real NAND only)

3. Added "Dol booter" option (from Main Menu)
to load external "boot.dol" (need to put under "\usb-loader\add-on\")

4. Added "Priiloader" option (from Home Menu)
to load "Priiloader" (if it's installed)

Does CFG have an autosave feature? I hate having to go to another menu to save everytime. (BTw please quote this if replying)

As far as I know, it does not, you must hit the Save button within Settings I believe to save global settings.

now needs ISO shrinking when installing to usb

 

[Shadow#1]

in mod r36 beta1 it doesn't rip right had to put in my pc to see why it made the ISO in the proper folder but was game2.iso instead of game.iso and at the end of the folder [gameid]2 so the 2 needs removed and the iso naming fixed

If you got "game2.iso" ,that means you dump Disc2.

OK thanks, what about the other issue above?

The other issue ? You mean "ISO shrinking" when GC disc is dumping to USB ?
So far you have to do this in your PC after dumping.
(use GCReEX or DiscEX or GameCube ISO Tool)

@airline38 may you add r36 to official svn download too. (i.e. http://code.google.com/p/cfg-loader-mod/downloads/list )
Thanks
