Hacking Configurable USB Loader

[rem300wm]

Hello to all
I have a question about the forwarder from Noralez, How do You change the destinations paths on the forwarder?
Thanks

I don't think you can. You can use any of:
1. sd:/apps/usbloader_cfg/boot.dol
2. sd:/apps/usbloader/boot.dol
3. usb:/apps/usbloader_cfg/boot.dol
4. usb:/apps/usbloader/boot.dol
as that is the order it uses to search for boot.dol.

Hello to all

Dr Clipper Thank You for the responce !!

I refer to the situation when mload V2 is upgraded to V3.

That wasn't additional code being used in the loader, the v2 to v3 transition caused problems as it needed a different way of interface to the IOS. You have not provided proof that there is any of this code in the v3 to v4 transition (all the changes could be in the IOS itself and not the Loader). The v1 to v2 transition went through without any additional code needing to be added to Cfg. Perhaps this one is the same.

Maybe it's a super-duper special secret code I am missing

No, it works just as expected with the new ehcmodule in place. Although I do agree that the new module should be incorporated into CFG if only to be a little bit "cleaner"

On a side note, I really applaud Hermes for the excellent work. His cIOS is solid, and even more so with v4. I also hope to continue to see the default 222 version of CFG released alongside the standard release. It's just really nice to have

I get code dumps when I go into coverflow view on the newest version of the loader. What am I doing wrong?

BEST thing to do is to post the code dumps *exactly* so they can be analyzed and corrected.

First, thanks for the excellent guide Dr. Clipper! I've already modded my 3.3v2 Wii but I'm getting ready to do a 4.0 for a friend and it's been very helpful.

Next, I was just wondering if the loader continuously loops the music file if only one is used and if there were any limitations regarding the mp3 file such as size or bitrate?

Yeah, that will help oggzee and usptactical sort it out. You don't need to copy the whole thing, just the "Stack Dump" section.

Also, just for the record, try renaming your full cover folder temporarily to see if it's a corrupted image.

You have to compile your own version from the source code, changing the 4 destination paths sets by Narolez. If you don't know how to do this, tell me the destinations paths and i'll compile it for you.

Come on dudes, stop arguing over this one, lol

Until the code is actually reviewed no-one can't say for sure what has changed. I have just unpacked and made a quick check... besides the ehcimodule, also the dip_plugin module is changed, which can't be replaced with an external file. So there are some other changes, but not sure what the difference is.

The "dip_plugin module". I should have mentioned this term.

Really looking forward to your update. Thanks a LOT oggzee !!

The USBLoaderCFG_Forwarder-UCXF.wad dated July-8-2009 is showing up as a "?" icon in the Wii options->Data Management>Channels screen. It cannot be moved/copied/deleted from this screen. The only way to delete it is from the wad manager with the original wad install file.

Could someone confirm that this is a bug or if I did something wrong?

My system is 4.1U.

Hi All, I am having this issue as well on my 4.1U system about the forwarder showing up as "?". Is this a bug?

Kinda, a very minor one.
Narolez: can this be fixed?
I think because of that the chanel management doesn't allow it to be removed.
It can be removed with the wad manager though.

Yes, it should loop the music file no matter how many mp3s you have. I'm not really sure about any size or bitrate limitations, but I wouldn't be surprised if there were.

This is what I get when I load it through the preloader and try to go into coverflow view

This is not a bug, it's a feature ...

I'll fix it in next release.

Today I am working on Zektor's hybrid channel and implement the USB forwarding function.
At the moment I still have problems with the USB retry when the drive is not ready on Preloader startup.

Lately I've been working on another project, so I have not had time to implement this.

@oggzee:
I want to see an improvement in the parental control.

Depending on the game you should be able to choose the appropriate age (0, 6, 12, 16, 18 years).
What games are to be displayed would be possible to select via a global age setting.

This is more flexible than the hide function.

Yes, game ratings are in the WiiTDB data. We just need to find the time to implement it.

 

[Dr. Clipper]

Is WiiTDB really necessary for age ratings? Is it possible to use the Wii's existing parental control functions for the lockouts?
