Hacking Configurable USB Loader

[drizzt007]

what am I doing wrong here?

the only thing that shows up is the 'no image' picture.

Hmm, everything seems OK. Does there also happen to be a config.txt in one of the subfolders of the apps folder (likely to be in USBLoader if anywhere)?

Edit (worked out your problem): The BlueMatrix theme uses "cover_style=3d". You can change that. Do the stuff you did earlier, but change the "cover_style" theme option to "standard" after loading both config.txt and theme.txt. Then click the install all files button and install all files to the directory where config.txt was (it should already be selected when you click the first install button).

I'm still doing something wrong. now the thing isn't even mounting the USB drive.

the config.txt is supposed to be in the 'usb-loader' folder , right?
and the theme.txt is supposed to be in the 'USBLoader' folder?

config.txt should be at sd:/usb-loader/config.txt. Ensure it is not elsewhere as well. In your case, theme.txt should be at sd:/usb-loader/themes/BlueMatrix/theme.txt. If you load config.txt from the base directory, it finds the correct theme for you. If you have loaded them that way (the same way you posted about earlier), then the "Install all files" wizard will automatically save both these files back for you afterwards in the correct locations.

Thus, this is all you need to do:[*]Read existing config.txt as you did before[*]Say yes to load the theme.txt[*]Go to the first theme options page and set cover_style to standard.[*]Click "Install all files"[*]Click "Install all files to base directory"

Yes! Thanks so much for the update. Patched the NTSC Iso of NSMBW! Finally can use my back-up.

No need to patch the iso I don't believe. Thats what the NSMBW Patch they added to the loader is for.

Will a prepatched copy still work, or will I need a clean copy for the latest version of CFG Loader?

Now that cios rev 15 is out, the changelog mentioned something about FAT module.. can works like the hermes cios to use FAT in games?

I want to reask this, because I think a lot of people have this question in mind.

No, the source for the module will need to be released in order to make it work.

hey Dr. Clipper,

thanks dude, I finally got it working. I'm still not sure exactly where I went wrong before. I deleted everything and just started over and it worked this time.

thanks again for all your help.

Wait, so how do you get Ocarina cheats to work? Maybe I misread something but I have the .gct file in root/codes and it still says "codes not found" or what not...

Mine takes over 5 seconds.

Still no one cares to specify if that is compared to ios222 wbfs or compared to ios249 wbfs. I'm not saying the problem doesn't exist, but no-one seems to bother taking time to make some concrete comparisons of the three methods ios249 wbfs / ios222 wbfs / ios222 fat. So it will have to wait till i get some time to make more proper benchmarking and comparison. Till then such incomplete reports don't help much.
edit: i should add that there is still room for some optimizations which can improve the performance. I will try to do that once i establish what are the actual numbers...

With SSBB, the one I was using with WBFS was 222, and I'm using this with FAT also. Still seems to be a bigger delay in loading menu music after you quit a match. Also, initial loading seems longer (as stated before, too lazy to re-partition so I can't give you solid numbers)

hi,oggzee
i have a 16g sdhc card. i make 2 patitons , 1 fat32 6g & 2 wbfs 10g.
but i cannot mount it in version cfg47.
somebody tell me i must use cios249 rev 10. and now ,i use cios249 rev 14 .
could u tell me ,how to make it works. i don't want to downgrade to cios rev 10 ,becase i want to play NSMB.

thank you very much.

I am still here, have just been very busy. A new version will be coming soon. As for it's own thread, I didn't really think about it, being a simple gui for Oggzee's program I figured this was a fitting thread for it, maybe Oggzee will add it to the front page

An idea maybe after it converts to wbfs it automatically puts the file in its place.

hello,

would it be possible to load .wbfs images off a different folder as /wbfs/ ?
I'd like to put every game in it's own folder with the .nfo file and rename the .wbfs file to something non cryptic.

Thanks

no word on that?

It's been answered multiple times already: No.

Thanks. I will try to make some optimisations, but it will probably take a week or so.

Being a total noob here and it's probably been asked before many times, but is there any benefit to change to FAT from WBFS? I really don't have any problems at all with WBFS atm.

hmm.. do i need to do anything to make NSMBW work? i can't make it to work... do i need cios249rev14? or do i still need to update to 4.1? (i'm on 3.2U)

Just use an unmodified backup, and install latest ios53.

 

[greenarcher02]

can i install that safely on 3.2U? and i think i got an unmodified copy.... i though when running from USB you don't need ios53?
