Hacking Configurable USB Loader

[wiixale]

Fakesign'd, checked if there were stubs & deleted them (except the 222,223,249,250,254, they didn't show up), and to reinstall the cIOS 222, I have the v4 Installer, should I use that one?

About the CFG, I have the Configurable SD/USB Loader v52a2, not sure how can I know if it's fat or non fat version.
I'm not sure either about the Waninkoko's cIOSes...

Yes, use the v4 installer for cIOS222: v5 is not supported yet.

Where did you download from the CFG's dol? From this thread?

About Waninkoko's cIOS, it's the "classic" cIOS that installs itself as IOS 249.

I downloaded it from EmuDesc, a Spanish speaking forum I found first. But the OP cited this site later as the original source.

About Waninkoko's cIOS, according to the installer, yeah, I do have it. Atm I'm installing it again.

It will state whether it is the fat version on the splash screen and the Global Options page.

Yeah, it's the Fat version


With what settings should I install the 222?
I pick the IOS36 to install it, then I choose the 222 (default), then what about all the "merging" options?

 

[Dialexio]

Yeah, it's the Fat version

It doesn't really matter, except you need to merge with IOS37 in order to play Guitar Hero/Rock Band/etc.

What other changes can I make with those settings?

Just came here to report a little bug. Playing my NTSC-U Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (booted with v51 and IOS249 rev17), I noticed the "Reset" function from the "home menu" didn't work. Instead of reseting the game, it resetted my Wii. The same happens when I use the "quit" option inside the game (the one that quits the game to the main menu). At last, when I finished the game and I was prompted to save, it also resetted my Wii. When I loaded the game again, the save was succesfully done.

Therefore, I don't think it's such a big fuss, since there's no harm to the save file, or even to the player's progression (no one would quit or reset unless his/her game was saved). I just reported to make this fact known.

It's well known. Plenty of games do this. It's something that needs to be changed in the cIOS, not the loaders.

 

[Darlenix]

It didn't work, reinstalling the cIOS 222 and all t.t

Is there any way to get rid of the intro splash screen? finding any info in this thread is hopeless.

In that regard I think a "FAQ" topic for this topic, would be helpful. In the topic would have the most frequently asked quested in separate posts. . . . but linked to in the topic creator's post. Just an idea for someone that frequents this topic could do.

Um... are you being sarcastic?

From the first post in this topic in the section marked "FAQ":
QUOTE

Some known issues and suggestions that are frequently asked about:
...
* Disable intro screen (done: for direct starting channels)

@lillboden: To use that, you will need to change a forwarder so it passes the option "intro=0" as a command line option. Note that this will not save you any time. The loader will simply display black instead of the splash and will take just as long to load.

 

[dlf]

But does that post cover EVERY question asked in this thread, lest the most frequent? For example like all the ÂIOS questions you all get asked? . . . It's just a suggestion.

 

[Darlenix]

Apparently uLoader gives me the same problem that I have with this loader...is there anyway a 4.2 could run back ups??

cfg v52b3 (beta3)
cfg52b3.dol
cfg52b3-fat.dol
(or online update)

Changes:
cfg v52b3 (beta3)
* Button remapping options (Dr. Clipper)
See below for information.
* Previous home option is now a theme option with overrides
* Reversion of boot disc to cIOS method (for real this time)
* Fix for switching between NTFS partitions (oggzee)
* Various translation and menu alignment fixes (oggzee)
* Support for new filenames on FAT/NTFS: (oggzee)
/wbfs/TITLE [GAMEID].wbfs or /wbfs/TITLE [GAMEID].iso
* option: db_ignore_titles = [0], 1
Set this option to ignore titles from the database

About button remapping:
Firstly, the guitar default mappings have changed slightly.
The new mappings are as follows:
RED = A; GREEN = B; YELLOW = X; BLUE = Y; ORANGE = Z.

Each of the following buttons can now have its own action:
B, -, +, 1, 2, Home, X, Y, Z, C, L & R.

These actions are valid for the console game list and the GUI
mode only. For options that affect the menus, see below.
The new options for this type of mapping are all theme options
with config.txt overrides and are as follows:
option: button_B = [gui],
button_- = [main_menu],
button_+ = [install],
button_H = [reboot],
button_1 = [options],
button_2 = [favorites],
button_X = A, B, 1, [2], H, -, +,
button_Y = A, B, [1], 2, H, -, +,
button_Z = A, [B], 1, 2, H, -, +,
button_C = [A], B, 1, 2, H, -, +,
button_L = A, B, 1, 2, H, [-], +,
button_R = A, B, 1, 2, H, -, [+],
These buttons can be mapped to any of the following actions:
nothing # does nothing
options # access game options
gui # switch to/from GUI
reboot # reboot to system menu
exit # exit to launching app
hbc # exit to HBC
screenshot # take a screenshot
install # install a game
remove # remove a game
main_menu # access main menu
global_ops # access global options menu
favorites # toggle favorites view
boot_game # boot a game from the drive
boot_disc # boot a game from disc
theme # switch to next theme
profile # switch to next profile
unlock # access the unlock password dialog immediately
As shown, X, Y, Z, C, L & R can also be optionally targetted to
emulate one of the buttons on the Wiimote (A, B, 1, 2, -, +, Home).
If used this way, this emulation will also work in menus.

As stated, the other options allow you to select the default
action in the game list and GUI mode only. The menus can be
remapped by specifying which buttons affect which commands.
These options take a commas separated list of button names from the
following list:
B, 1, 2, -, M, Minus, +, P, Plus, H, Home, X, Y, Z, C, L, R

The following are the mappable commands. All the options are theme
options with overrides in config.txt.

option: button_cancel = [B],
Set which button(s) will act as the back button in menus

option: button_exit = [Home],
Set which button(s) will perform the 'home' action in menus

option: button_other = [1],
Set which button(s) will perform the other or alternate action in menus
This covers switching between options and global options, choosing to
download BCA during install, choosing to ignore meta.xml during upgrade etc.

option: button_save = [2],
Set which button(s) will perform the save action in menus

EXAMPLES:
To switch buttons B & 1 around so that 1 operates as GUI and back
while B switches between the options menus and so on:
B operates as back:
button_B = options
button_1 = gui
button_other = B
button_cancel = 1
To make both the L and R buttons on a GameCube controller
operate as back buttons in the menus in addition to B:
button_cancel = B, L, R
Plug in the Classic controller and you can have any twelve
different actions available at once (with A being boot_game):
button_B = gui
button_1 = options
button_2 = favorites
button_- = profile
button_+ = theme
button_H = exit
button_L = remove
button_R = install
button_X = main_menu
button_Y = global_ops
button_Z = boot_disc

Older versions:

Spoiler

cfg v52b2 (beta2)
* File custom-titles.txt in the base directory is searched
for game titles.
* Titles are extracted from wiitdb.zip but can be overridden
with either titles file.
* The titles precedence (highest to lowest) is as follows:
- custom-titles.txt
- titles.txt
- wiitdb.zip
- directory name (FAT & NTFS only)
- game image
* When saving global options, the saved settings are listed.
* Console color fixes (Dr. Clipper)
* Play time logging to message board (marc_max & Dr. Clipper)
When enabled, this option will put the correct title
and play time into the Wii Message Board log and will
also be read by the Nintendo Channel. However, this will
usually fail if you skip the Wii Menu via BootMii or
Priiloader autoboot.
* option: write_playlog = [0],1
Note, it is disabled by default as this fix changes your
Wii's NAND and cannot be used via autoboot methods.
* Disc booting now uses cIOS again (back to v52a2 version)

cfg v52b (beta)
* Gamecube disc loading
Just like Wii discs, only original discs supported!
* Wii disc loading now uses the disc specified IOS.
This should increase game compatibility.
* Console font outline and shadow fix by Dr. Clipper
* Many translatable strings have been improved.
* Cover URLs updated

cfg v52a2 (alpha 2)
* Fixed options.
option: language_path has been removed.
The path is now fixed at /usb-loader/languages/
option: language has been changed to translation to
prevent conflicts with the game language setting.
option: translation = [AUTO], EN, custom, etc

cfg v52a (alpha)
* Translation files now supported.
option: language_path = path to language files
Default: USBLOADER_PATH/languages
option: language = filename without extension
Default: Current the wii language from the following list
JA, EN, DE, FR, ES, IT, NL, ZH, ZH, KO
* Fixed crash issue if booting from disc failed
* Database can now be named wiitdb.zip.
The old naming scheme is still supported however.

This is another one of those features often longed for. Hope you like it

.

Oh, and Configurator will be out in about 10 minutes to match.

Edit: Translators, here's some updated versions of your translation files.

Got it working with my NTSC drive, thanks for the help.

The changes I made were simply renaming the folder from WBFS to wbfs, and I also used configurator to choose NTSC drive in global settings and to ensure 222 MLoad ios was being used.

I think I was already using 222 but I know for sure those setting were the only ones I amended in any way.

*edit*

spoke too soon. got a message bad adaptive filter and now the program crashes while initialising the covers. I'm now deleting the downloaded covers and downloading fresh versions, as I think that'll fix this error.

btw also updated to the newest version and so far so good. I like the idea of being able to change buttons, especially changing the install remove buttons.

NTSC is the region, NTFS is a filesystem created by micosoft

 

[Dr. Clipper]

I probably should mention that there is one change for the default operation. Previously, the Guitar Orange button mapped to Home. It now maps to Z.

Also, the pre-existing buttons option directly changes the values of the button_1 and button_B options, and the old home option now affects button_H and the action taken when button_exit is invoked.

Can anyone help me please. I can't seem to use 4GB SDHC cards for anything but loading stuff from. I can't seem to write to them.

CFG USB Loader will download stuff (covers/cheats/titles.txt etc) but can't write anything to the SD says ret=1 error.
Wad Manager also gives this error when trying to install wads from the 4GB card.
Trying to update the loader makes my Wii crash and I have to hold down the power button for about 5 seconds to switch it off. Black screen with tones of numbers etc.
It says SD/SDHC cards are supported by this loader, does that just mean ones plugged through the USB or something?

My Wii is 4.0U cIOS rev 17 installed, I also have Bootmii as boot2.
Do I need firmware higher than 4.0 to fully use SDHC cards or something?

Thanks in advance.

slide the little lock thing on the side of the sd card and try again
