Hacking Configurable USB Loader

[Sacohen9665]

OK, here is the new Forwarder-Package with the new button mapping for passing IOS arguments:

ÂÂ- To pass the custom IOS argument to the USB loader, hold the following upon forwarder start:
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂHold 1 and 2 OR A and B: force ios=249
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂHold 1 OR A;ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ force ios=222-mload
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂHold 2 OR B:ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ force ios=223-mload
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂHold nothing:ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂno force, loader default

Great, so if nothing is done and I have iso=222-mload (or whatever the exact thing is) set in my config file then it will load that.

I'll try it tonight when I get home.

Thanks Narolez.

Is there a chance multiple WBFS-partion will be supported? Cause as I wrote in another thread, it might be possible to use USB-host on a computer and connect to the Wii via USB-cable. And then it would be awesome to be able to have support for more than one WBFS-partion.

It will be similar like an external harddrive, just that the harddrive(s) are in a computer instead. Better cooling too.

How do you do that? If that is possible, you can first make it work with just one partition, right?
Tell you what, make that work first and then i'll add multiple wbfs partition support.

1. I cant get the music to play
2. I have no back covers when I flip the cover over
...
music = sd:/usb-loader/themes/Blue_Sunset_3D,1, still_alive.mp3

from readme:
# music = [1], 0, filename, PATH
only one of the listed values has to be used.
so, either:
music = 1
or
music = sd:/usb-loader/still_alive.mp3
or
music = sd:/usb-loader

1. I cant get the music to play

and

1. For the music option, you want only the path name or music filename. So use either:
music = sd:/usb-loader/themes/Blue_Sunset_3D #This plays all the music in that directory
OR
music = sd:/usb-loader/themes/Blue_Sunset_3D/still_alive.mp3 #This plays only that specific song

2. Is "3dcoves" a typo?

ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂHold nothing:ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂno force, loader default

Download: < http://cloud.github.com/downloads/Narolez/..._NForwarder.zip >

I loaded the new dol into my Preloader and if I choose nothing (meaning have no buttons pressed) it loads ISO 249 rev 14 even though my config file says
ios = 222-mload. I even tried ios=222-mload and there was no difference.

If I hold A down on bootup, it will load ISO 222-mload and if I hold B down it will load ISO223-mload, but if in do nothing it loads ISO 249 rev 14.

If I reinstall version 43 of the loader dol it will read the config file and load correctly.

It doesn't seem to be passing the nothing argument correctly.

Thanks;

Sorry, It works fine. I had a bad dowload or something.
I re-downloaded it and then installed it in the pre-loader again and it works fine now.

Strange. It is in the zip file. If you had problem downloading the file, you should not be able to unzip it.

Do you use 480p? If so, try setting video=ntsc AND video_patch=all.

Simply .... Whow.....

Pay attention that you will have to update it in a few months..... I mean in 2010 (the year is in the bottom right corner)...

Cool, is this possibly the new open for the loader.

I like it better then the one on black, no offense Oggzee.

Oh I like this one better too, so you might yet see it included

 

[Sacohen9665]

As cambric stated it would have to be modified with out the date.

Oggzee would it be possible to lay the version # that the person currently has installed over the lower right corner, where the date is now?

Kind of like you have listed in the Global settings page.

That would be a nice touch.

The loader can only use png files for any graphic, correct?

I was thinking of creating a version where the power switch animated from off to on and the screen went from dimmed to full opacity when the switch turned on, but if there is now way to get it into the loader as the banner, then it's not worth the time.
