Do you use WBFS or FAT partition?
Do you have ios222 installed?
Are you using the regular or -fat release?

I use wbfs,
I have installed ios 222
but when i put in config ios = 222-mload, the cfg freezes at start up (begin)
i use the regular release in HBC(as far as i know, only difference is a faster boot if you use fat32)
there is only 1 release for channel

Hmm, I have no idea what could be wrong

Except for maybe hard drive incompatibility?

In the compatibility list on this net the HDD drive is listed as working with usb loaders, confirmed by 1 person

i have another problem, with another wii XD

system menu ver.: 3.1
Installed: Hybrid chan. v48
installed cios: 38 rev 15
no SD-Card

cios 222 not installt.... or ios... whatever... (i will try it first)

problem:
-sometimes, on bootup the usb loader channel, i have only a black screen and its freezes...
(possible reason: no sd-card was found

-sometimes, then i press the 'home' button and then 'Yes', it freezes...
(possible reason: no Âios 222 is installed


i will first try with my ideas... maybe u know the 'really' reason...

The limit seems to be 10 categories of favorites, and max 64 games per category. Can this be increased? I could use twice this, easily.

Cheers! Loader uberpwns!

I hope they do fix up or look through the codeing with SDHC. I think your loader is the best oggzee and usptactical and i don't want too change too another just cause my SDHC can't work with it compared to the other loaders that are out

Do you know of any loader that works with SDHC? I just need a loader for a friends SDHC card, and I'm sure he won't care who's fork of 1.5 it is.

currently the limit is: 10 profiles, 100 games per profile

sorry if this has been answered already, but is there a shortcut to switch between profiles? Or do I have to go to global options each time I want to switch?

I'm confirming this.

Also when I start Conf USB Loader and my HDD is not plugged in I get a freeze after I plug the HDD in my Wii.

In WiiFlow you get a message that tells you to plug your HDD in your Wii and when you plug your HDD it automatically loads .... so you might want to check the WiiFlow startup code and copy/paste.

I also would like to see a shortcut.

A lot of people use my wii and someone asked me if they could make it show only the games they play. So it would be very nice if it were easy to change between and maybe showed at the top which profile you were in. Is there a way to auto show only favorites for certain profiles? Another thing is i don't want the favorites icon to show.

 

[oggzee]

Another thing is i don't want the favorites icon to show.

You can change / disable the favorite icon by changing the file:
/usb-loader/favorite.png

There are a few examples in the directory:
/usb-loader/resources/favorite*.png

You can copy /usb-loader/resources/favorite0.png to /usb-loader/favorite.png to disable it.

hmm i just enabled the 'anti 002 fix' and now all works correctly... XD

thx for the answers

Do you save more space on your USB hard drive if you have it at FAT32 than WBFS since all your games have to be scrubbed to work on it?

For a new feature, I want to know if its possible to add the channel animation to games to view on the USB Loader. It would be pretty neat, and you can enable and disable it in the Global Options menu if you please. Can it happen?

games on a wbfs-partition are scrubbed as well. I doubt any size difference is noticeable. as for channel animation, it is possible, but it's up to the developers to decide whether they want that new feature in their application. one step towards your request is that they've already introduced that banner sounds.

Is there a way to easily convert a WBFS drive to FAT32? (without reformatting and losing all the games I already have installed)

Thanks

 

[blopa]

can i convert .ciso to .wbfs?
