i noticed before i updated the .txt via the loader, all the names were in english, even though they were japanese games. but, via the loader i can only seem to update to the japanese.txt?
how can i get the one i had before?

thank you!
Right.
the default titles url will in fact use JA titles.txt because it is set to:
titles_url = http://wiitdb.com/titles.txt?LANG={CC}
so you will have to change it to:
titles_url = http://wiitdb.com/titles.txt?LANG=EN
or
titles_url = http://wiitdb.com/titles.txt

I will probably change that to use EN in case the wii is in a region for which there are no font support.

Well, unicode (utf8) decode is already there. The problem is the fonts. Configurable uses a simple .png for a font, which becomes way too large if you want to use it for full unicode characters. A solution to that would be to use .ttf fonts, but that is very low on my priority list, i'm not sure i will even try to do that. So to answer your question: unlikely.

Games in subdirs on FAT: /wbfs/GAMEID_TITLE/GAMEID.wbfs

Here's a liitle app to move all your wbfs files (and txt) into their own sub dir, keeping the naming convention as set out by oggzee.

wbfs folder before:
before.jpg


wbfs folder after:
after.jpg


before doing this ive included a test folder that contains a few fake wbfs files(really txt renamed) for you to test it on.

. do we have to use the gameid as subfolders? or could we use let's say scene release names as folder names?

Do you know if move_dirs.bat works in Terminal for Mac OS X? I don't know how to get it working.

Try removing sd:/apps/usbloader/config.txt
or removing sd:/apps/usbloader completely and moving it to usb:

Here is the .bat rewritten as a shell script for the linux/macosx:

Great. I'll try it out when I get the chance.

Okay I tried it out and it works with one exception. It only created folders and moved the .wbfs files that were not split. Games like SSBB, Okami, and Dead Space remained in the same place.

I will fix that...
ok, here is the fixed version:
move_dirs2.sh

I still need to fix the move_dirs.bat for windows too.

Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction here.

I recently hacked my wii, and I have installed USB Loader which works like a charm on my 1TB WD Drive.

#1 question- I always boot into the priiloader, and then have to either choose HBC or Main.. Is there a way to go directly into main?

#2 - Does anyone have the software that will allow me to create a channel so that I do not have to go into HBC and run USB loader everytime I want to play a game?

I know these are probably simple fixes, but I just have not been able to find the answers. I did find a software to do the channels, but cannot get to it, because of all the pop ups on the site..

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

1) Yes, just change autoboot to system menu in settings
2) It's out there, but there should be an up to date wad a few pages back, might be linked to from the front page even.
