Hacking Configurable USB Loader

[XFlak]

Adding that is too boring for me or oggzee to work on so maybe gannon will do it.

lol, it sounds like my office... lets give the new guy the boring shit to do, lol

thanks for everything oggzee, usptactical and gannon!!

Oh, is the feature request day today

? Let's also throw one in (sorry gannon

)...

My Request: Fanart
XBMC Users should know what I'm talking about, other can watch this Vid, starting at 2:00:


This would give the loader some more style, at least in my opinion it looks awesome. I would realy love to see this in CFG-Loader, and as far as I could tell from my Noob-Side, it's nearly already implemented (Overlays are in). Make an 800x480.png-Picture, name it with the first three letters of the GameID and place it in the directory. When a game is selected, it searches and displays the Pic. If it doesn't found it, it just shows the default Background. Also, only one picture would be needed (it would be cropped on 4:3 TVs). I dunno if it's possible (maybe it needs to much memory?), but again, I would love to see that...

What do you think about this?

Can't wait to test the final release. In my opinion this is the best loader ever because is so configurable

New things are coming. Patience.

New things are coming. Patience.

Patience is no problem for me (see my member title

). According to the To-Do List, it wasn't planned, so I thought I'll request it...

Anyways, thanks at all the devs for doing such an awesome job, and I can wait as long as it takes, as long the next release is as awesome and stable as the other ones

. Keep it going, you're doing an awesome work!

Do you know if localization is still planned?

Adding that is too boring for me or oggzee to work on so maybe gannon will do it.

gannon if you read this, can you please confirm it?

 

[xakmad]

double post - sorry

 

[spacca]

brilliant program.

i would pay for this.

 

[xakmad]

Or having the game greyed out, like lowering the opacity of the cover would even be better but probably harder to code as Configurable USB Loader isn't Photoshop lol.

That's quite easy to do actually.

Great news I wouldn't think it was, I think it's better than just some red X, what do you think?

i love that idea - wow !!!

what about opacity = [5] ie 1 to 10 where 1 = very see-thru and 10 = full on ?

thanks for that great idea!!!

remember what happens if many features get into a build, but no time to test...
see gx loader...

nice gui...like the wii...but...a gui without function every second build...

so please team..do it with patience, a working loader is much better than a nice gui...

I see that the parameter -a (Copy ALL partitions from ISO) is still default. I already suggested processing parameter -g (Copy only game partition from ISO) by default, because WBFS managers usually do it and it is really reasonable - who and why need to preserve all partitions including updates during converting an ISO into .wbfs file?!

@oggzee, maybe I don't understand a simple but important idea behind it?

wbfs_file 2.8
wbfs_file_2.8.zip
(included sources and binaries for windows, linux and macosx)

Thanks for the advice? These latest builds are named Beta for a reason.

guessing that a lot of folk like me dont mind the beta-testing as we know that a) its the best app, b) the best team, and c) if you mess up (short of a format!) you'll try you're best to rebuild the folder-structure or whatever it was
brilliant work you guys

Hey everyone,

I'm sorry if this has been asked before - I don't really want to read through 500+ pages to try to find if it perhaps has been asked.

I just installed the Config USB Loader and everything has been working wonderfully! All of the disks have been ripping wonderfully! However, for the PAL games, it seems to be installed correctly onto my USB drive, but when I go to play it, the screen turns black and white and often it flashes up and down like when an old VHS tape would go fuzzy or a film-projector skips. It's so bad that they are pretty much unplayable.

Do you all have any thoughts or suggestions on how to get these PAL games to work on my US Wii? (If it matters, I'm running on version 4.2)

Thanks!!!

change video mode that use your wii settings

 

[Dr. Clipper]

To be exact, try setting video=system default. If that doesn't work, try setting video to Force NTSC. You may still end up with a black and white picture. In that case, your only option is to buy a better TV and component cables and switch your Wii over to 480p.

I prefer -a being the default, I think the WBFS managers are wrong. If everything from the ISO is converted then you don't need to keep it, which is a much bigger space saving.

I second that point of view. Leave the default to copy all partitions.

Wbfs image with all partitions is definitely bigger that an image with only game partition!
How do you achieve much bigger space saving?!
And why do you need to keep updates?!

 

[oggzee]

@the:
If you want to copy only game partitions then use -g
I'm not changing the defaults for now.
