Hacking Configurable USB Loader

[hmaidhoff]

Thanks Gannon.

I think this is it:

Configurable USB Loader "Hybrid Channel" v44: (by Zektor & Narolez)
SDUSB-Loader_cfg44_Hybrid.rar
This is a combination of a full channel and a forwarder - if the boot.dol is found it acts as a forwarder otherwise it's a full channel. See included README-HYBRID.txt for details.

but I cannot get the &^* thing to download? Any other sources that you know of?

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.

whoops you're right

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.

Great. Thanks again.

Here are a few games that Configurable USB Loader will load when on a WBFS partition but not a FAT32 partition: The Simpsons Game, Rogue Trooper: The Quartz Zone Massacre, Spyborgs, and Hot Wheels Battle Force 5. When they are on a FAT32 partition it trys to load them but it doesn't even get to the "Loading...." part.

Updated move_dirs.bat v2:
move_dirs2.bat

Actually the version that is included with wbfs_file 1.9 will work fine but the output will also print the split names, this version will just fix the output so that it is nicer.

i'm guessing its a bad transfer, i would delete them from your fat drive, then use wii backup manager to transfer them over again

I don't have any of these, can someone confirm?
Does it make any difference if you use v48 or v49a ?
Can you try to do a disk check on windows and maybe delete and reinstall one of those games?
Are you installing from dvd inside the loader or converting an iso to .wbfs file?

actually I transferred the games directly from the FAT32 partition of my external USB HDD to the WBFS partition of my external USB HDD because I had tested them out on the FAT32 partition first. That rules out a bad transfer and implies a pretty fundamental problem.

Can someone please tell me where I can download version 49a??

I've been using Crap to make forwarder channels for my games. Will the new folder structure stop those from working or will everything still be ok?

No difference between v48 or v49a, there's nothing wrong with my hard drive, I'm converting from .iso to .wbfs.

Ok thanks, another question, have you tried using cios 222 too when running from wbfs or only 249?
I'm asking this to understand if the problem with these games is the use of cios 222 or indeed fat.

Should be fine.

You have to look back a little bit, it's on page 388.

Actually the problem was that I was using v48, I just updated to v49a and all those games work on FAT32 now. thanks for the help.

i am having trouble playing 'miburi and teburi', it's dual layer.
the loader warns me that is is dual layer and might not be perfect with the setup i am using (or something along those lines) and when i boot it up, it just gives me an error mesage and says to eject the disk and read the manual

(in japanese)
but, ssbb works perfectly (so far...)
so, could someone point me towards a guide so that i can get it working, since i have everything else, i think i just ned to install one more thing...
thank you so much!

oggzee, quick Q

if I'm using v49a-fat, will it load my games if they're saved under

1) USB:\WBFS\
2) USB:\WBFS\Game_ID\
3) both of the above

I'm hoping its #3) both

thanks for everything! great developments!

 

[XFlak]

cfg v49a
cfg49a.dol
cfg49a-fat.dol
(or online update)

Changes:
* If the loader is used to start a game directly
(from a channel created with crap or similar tools)
and option: intro=0 is specified then no intro
and no progress is displayed until the game is started

Can someone please tell me where do I need to type intro=0 in order to make my channels made with crap launch "silently" (without the CFG splash screen)?

thanks!

There seems to be some kind of bug with updating the FAT version (at least I'm not sure if the other version does this). I prefer to have my apps on my SD card, but I have the USBloader folder on my hard drive (you know, with the covers and so on). Whenever I tried to update it, it saw my app path was on the SD but refused to copy the file after downloading (at least it gave some kind of error about not being able to write to the boot.dol).

As a test, I used Wiixplorer to copy that folder from my SD card to my USB drive then booted it from the USB drive...updates work fine then.

It seems that the current (49a IIRC) crashes instead of just having an error under these conditions. I haven't tried putting it back onto USB and trying an update that way though, but that bug with the SD seems to be present.

What IOS are you using? From the message displayed I'd guess 249, try 222 or 223

Upgrade to rev 15: http://gwht.wikidot.com/IOS249 or install Hermes: http://gwht.wikidot.com/hermes-ios222-223

Apparently you only get that warning on rev 14.
