Hacking Configurable USB Loader

[FenrirWolf]

Uhh, the only danger I can think of is the possibility of a corrupt channel or bad install causing a banner brick. And that's nothing BootMii-boot2 or Preloader can't handle.

So I'm at the mount hard drive screen. At the top it says FAT32 mount: SD.

So whenever I try to mount it, it doesn't seem to recognize my hard drive which is formatted to NTFS. Does this mean that my hard drive isn't recognized? Or did I do something wrong?

I even added partition=ntfs1 to the config.txt

Select your device before you select the partition. The device can be selected in the global options page (push 1 twice after getting to the main menu or GUI). Alternatively, ensure you have device=usb in settings.cfg.

Wow, I must've done something REALLY wrong then. Because whenever I start the app, it automatically goes to the mounting screen.

Any help?

Here's a little shell script that renames directories according to titles.txt
rename_titles.sh (linux/macosx only)
I might integrate this into wbfs_file one day...

edit:
re-uploaded a new version, same url.
# v2: fix: check if argument is a directory not a file

By mounting screen do you mean the system menu?

Guys, do you think that GC games running from USB would ever be possible?

That would be so awesome

how does BootMii work? I have it installed at my Homebrew Channel, but if I would brick my Wii, how on earth will I get to that?

What can i use for win xp?

cygwin

Or maybe one of the gui wii (game/backup) managers can add that, if they don't already have that kind of functionality...

 

[thefunkygibbon]

is there any possiblity of incorporating Triiforce into this GUI at all?

I'm having a problem with 3d covers. I've read a few people with the same problem. On the default layout in CFG it's fine, but when I hit down about 3-4 times to switch the view, it freezes with "invalid .png" or something to that effect. My 3d covers are in the sd:/usbloader/covers/3d Is that the right path? Also, could it just be a corrupted 3d cover, perhaps? If I use a different theme that is defaulted to 3d covers with the normal grid layout, it works fine but one of the games, final fantasy crystal bearers i believe, is all distorted, like the .png is corrupted.

unfortunately the image was downloaded via the CFG loader, ill try to dig it up, though.

 

[uberbdon]

lol i cant upload the file to any imagehosting sites. there is an error, either its that badly corrupted or they cant host png's. and i cant seem to find the 3d cover on any cover sites.

Hi everyone.
Sorry if this has been answered, but there are 481 pages on this thread.I read a few of them but could not find the answer.
Well, i am using configurable USB Loader on a new Wii (does not support dvd's), system menu 4.2.
I use an SDHC PNY 8 gb card, it has two partitions in it.One Fat32, where i run Cnf USB Ldr, and a WBFS one, where i keep my backups.
Everything seems to work fine, until i try to run a game.
I have two backups at the moment: Wii Sports and Zelda:Twilight Princess.
When i press A to run the game, it says "Please wait, game is booting" (or something close to that).
But no matter how long i wait, the game never boots.
I tried messing around with the configs, like changing the IOS, but to no avail.
Is there any solution to my predicament?
Thank you.

I've had a similar problem if it was a bad transfer from PC to the WFBS partition. Also, make sure its the right region code.

 

[uberbdon]

welp, it wasn't the final fantasy cover causing this, i fixed that. whenever i switch to the cover flow view i get a green screen and it reboots to system menu. anybody having this problem? I've tried 50c, 50, and 49, all have the same problem.


edit - every few times I can read the error message, it says CFC error or something to that effect.

Thanks for the reply.
But my backup from Wii Sports was taken from the disc directly to the partition through USB Loader.
So that can't be it.
I didn't mess with the region code settings.
Both my backups are NTSC (United States)
My Wii Sports is RSPE01 and my Zelda is RZDE01.
Thanks for any help.

SDHC support was broken (not sure in what rev), either try a SD card (not sdhc) or an external hard drive and it should work

Oh man...that sucks.
I will be unable to buy another card/hdd for quite a while.
Is there an earlier rev i could maybe use?
It won't conflict with anything if i use an earlier rev, right?
