Hacking Configurable USB Loader

[usptactical]

Here's a new Windows folder renamer for the TITLE [ID] format: rename_folders-title [id].zip

CODEFeatures:
- Renames existing ID_TITLE / ID TITLE / ID folders to TITLE [ID] format
- Uses titles.txt file for the game title
- Correctly supports UTF-8 character encoding

You need to place the .vbs file and the titles.txt file in the /wbfs folder (or wherever your game folders are).
Just double-click to run it.

great work gannon!

do u think u can add a couple more categories that we can sort to?

1) Wiiware / VC forwarder ISOs
2) Utilities forwarder ISOs (ie. homebrew channel, internet channel etc.)

There are no flags for that information in the WiiTDB database, so that would be impossible to do automatically. For selecting these types, I suggest you use the profile features of the loader instead.

This is what I do:

I have parental settings enabled so what I do is mark the Wiiware as hidden. Then if I want to see/play them I unlock it and they all appear. It will take a while to setup tho if you have a lot cuz you have to hide each one individually. Or you can just mark them as favorites (if you dont use fav already) and then you just click the 2 button (I think) to show just the wiiware games.

------------
Anyone know how to Hide/block the new Menu from kids? I have the childproof on and it still allows access without password.

The Configurator makes it much easier to set your hidden games and favorites for each profile. You can just check them all off in the grid:

And gannon already posted that the next version will have a blockable - menu.

Thanks for the info

but all the wiiware iso's have title ID's starting with W (not R or S or w/e), and couldn't u use title ID's to sort any category imaginable?

just throwing it out there, what do u think?

Does anyone else around here have Mario Strikers Charged, ive tried the pal and the NTSC version i know this is a really old game so if there is a fix already around please excuse me i used the search button which was really frustrating as it comes back with posts with the words mario in them

anyway the Pal version went straight to the wii menu, the NTSC version black screens do i need an alternate dol. 002 fix i tried loading from 249 and from 222

 

[Oxybelis]

Yes it can be done, but there's no need to double post, ... in other words shut the f*ck up!

its not often that I genuinely laugh after being told to shut the f*ck up, lmfao

thx guys, keep up the great work

Keep up the great work!

Even more bug fixes

Looking at removing the game options from the main menu, redundant with game options just as easily accessible, thoughts?

cfg v51b2
cfg51b2.dol
cfg51b2-fat.dol
(or online update)
Changes:
cfg v51b2 (beta2)
* More bug fixes
Loader no longer crashes when trying to sort or filter without a database.
Accented characters now show up in the synopsis.
Display of synopsis cleaned up and improved.
Entities now converted in the synopsis. (", etc)
Main menu will respect the disable_options configuration.
sort=play_count now works properly without reloading the game list.

cfg v51b (beta)
* Minor bug fixes
Loader will not wait for a button press in the event a database is not found.
Disc boot menu will show the proper database information.
* Changed db_url option and db_language option slightly
option: db_url = [http://wiitdb.com/wiitdb.zip?LANG={DBL}]
{DBL} will be replaced by the db_language value
option: db_language = [AUTO], EN, JA, German, etc
* option: "-asc" is no longer necessary to specify a sort as ascending.
* db_show_info no longer hides the hdd info or footer in the console.
* Added more game directory layouts: (by oggzee)
/wbfs/TITLE_[GAMEID]/GAMEID.wbfs
/wbfs/TITLE [GAMEID]/GAMEID.wbfs
/wbfs/TITLE[GAMEID]/GAMEID.wbfs
When loading games from FAT or NTFS
* Added {PUB} to cover url options.
{PUB} will be replaced by the last two characters of the ID (the publisher)
This can be used to do things like forcing NTSC covers for PAL games by
replacing {CC} with US and {ID6} with {ID3}E{PUB}

cfg v51a

* Wiitdb support. Can be downloaded inside the loader on the global options screen.
* Enhanced nunchuk support: C mapped to A, Z mapped to B
* Filtering of games based on certain criteria
* Sorting of games based on certain criteria
* Gameplay history
* Disc Loading
* New: Main menu accessible by pressing - or going to the global options screen.
Disc loading, sorting, filtering, and more options are located here.
* option: db_url = [http://wiitdb.com/wiitdb.zip?LANG={db_language}]
URL to download database from.
* option: db_language = [Console Language], EN, JA, German, etc
Language to use for the database. If invalid or not able to be displayed by the loader this will default to English.
Both country codes (EN) and languages (English) are valid.
* option: db_show_info = [1], 0
Show info loaded from the database.
* option: write_playstats = [1], 0
Write to the play history file.
* option: sort = [title-asc], etc
Change the default sorting method. Default is Title Ascending.

Valid sort options:
"title" => Title
"players" => Number of Players
"online_players"=> Number of Online Players
"publisher" => Publisher
"developer" => Developer
"release" => Release Date
"play_count" => Play Count
"install" => Install Date (This will only work with FAT or NTFS drives)

To use ascending add "-asc" to the option.
ie: sort = players-asc

To use descending add "-desc" to the option.
ie: sort = players-desc

Ever since i started using this loader I have been getting system files are corrupted after i play like 3 different games. From in game i have tried both return to wii menu and reset and both options will give me the error. I can unplug the wii for like 30 seconds and it will go back to normal. I have not added anything new to my wii, so I am not sure what is causing this.

Is the loader crashing my wii, or is the wii going bad?
Would a format or restore from bootmii fix this?

did you install a forwarder wad to launch the loader? the loader doesnt 'install' anything in and of itself, so i'd take cfg out of the corruption loop in your troubleshooting.

This happens to me, but it stopped once I stopped using system menu channels to launch the individual games. I'd try just booting the HBC and loading the loader that way and seeing if it stops.

 

[maabus]

Thanks guys. I did install a forwarder, but I thought you would get any errors during installation. And once it worked it worked. I'll try launching directly from hbc and see if that clears it up.

Hello gannon, There are open several issues in the code google pages, May be that you want do a seeing to solve, or implement it.
Thanks.
