As was the case with the original build, this one has a default/249 version and a 222 version. You must have grabbed the wrong one

Thanks.
Although I face an issue when tried to download images for games.
It give error but unfortunately I did not have time to take a pic of it.
Also, I can not figure how to create config.txt file because if I create it based on sample file, it just do not read it.
How it should look like with a setting to load covers images from usb hdd (ntfs format) ?

is your wii connected to the net to download the images?

your images should be located like the example below:
SD or USB: // usb-loader (folder) // covers // 3D, 2D, disc, full <=== HERE .

with the NTFS format, I don't really know!!! :unsure:

Yes, it is conected to the net.
I did a less time consuming way: Downloaded all required images from backup manager and then put it on my sd card.
Speaking truth I do not have so much time doing config.txt, although I tried again before writng this reply, and still no success.
It just can not read config.txt and do not see created usb-loader directory and files in it in defined folders by config.txt
I just need and ready and working config.txt to see how it looks like and I can make my own based on that (read game images from hdd instead of sd card).

Thanks for sharing.
I know for sample_configuration.txt and I tried it as a first solution, modiyfing it in order to read from usb:

covers_path = usb:/usb-loader/covers
covers_path_2d = usb:/usb-loader/covers/2d
covers_path_3d = usb:/usb-loader/covers/3d
covers_path_disc = usb:/usb-loader/covers/disc
covers_path_full = usb:/usb-loader/covers/full

But it just couldn't read folder path I set :( and I got stuck there.

It works without a problem on a sdcard.

I am wondering if I should copy ALL the content of usb-loader to hdd so it could "simulate" working folder , or just not ?

OK, I managed (somehow) to make config.txt with configurator.
What I get in cfg usb loader is the same situation but now i took a picture of debug.
It could be seen that path to covers is set BUT it just can not read them.
Also with this settings I tried to download images and once again I managed to reproduce the first error that was mentioned couple of messages before.
So, I suppose there is a bug or a feature in cfg usb loader. :)

OK, I am a little bit confused.
Should setting path be with one 'slash' or two 'slashs' like you wrote ?

Do you have usb-loader folder installed on both SD and USB? If you do, this is most likely causing your issue.

I think you want your setup with CFG installed in SD:/apps/USBLoader and your games and image art on USB correct?

If you have the usb-loader folder on your SD card and USB, i believe by default SD:/usb-loader config.txt will be used. It could very well be having this folder installed on both SD and USB is causing conflict.

Yes, I have both folders on sd and usb hdd. On hdd there is nothing but usb-loader folder and images in it and wfbs folder with games. No other files.

Try backing up your usb-loader folder on SD to your computer first, then transfer all those files to your HDD usb-loader folder. Now completely remove that folder from SD.

I think maybe this will fix your issue, hopefully:)

I'll try these days and post a feedback.
Also, I suppose folder that has to be removed is the one on root of my sd card, not the one in app folder, righ ?
