Hacking Configurable USB Loader

[nitrostemp]

what changes are in the new v53b that just popped up ?

it should say on your wii if you check it there

 

[tj_cool]

would be handy if they'd actually put the changelog on google code
or at least update the readme thingy

Having a strange issue with the loader, The audio will skip every few minutes and always seems to happen when i see the wii drive led flash. While the game is in action this never seems to happen, but during cut scenes every few minutes and once it does the audio is out of sync. The worst offender of this prob is Twilight Princess, when audio skips its is followed by a short screeching stat-icky sound

My specs on 4.1 softmod, cfg loader v52-fat, IOS 222 rev 4
I am using a WD Essentials 640GB USB HDD - 200GB Fat partition for game loading

If any more info is needed, just let me know, thanks.

gbatemp was down so oggzee didn't get a chance to post the changes yet

Be patient. There were massive downtimes on GBATemp and it was impossible to complete the release. Also, don't trust any versions that appear on the download site until they are announced here, they may be a work in progress and are subject to change until announcement.

README-CFG.txt gets updated with every version (or at least it should be). Again, this was just delays due to downtime.

This is spindown. Try to see if you can find an application from WD to disable it.

I updated my Spanish translation with the 53b version, you can find it here:

See if putting unifont.dat into your base directory (where config.txt is) helps.

Great loader man.

using fat32 for my apps, covers, etc, and NTFS for my .wbfs files, not had a single problem. I don't understand why everyone recommends fat32 over NTFS

Can't rip to NTFS, and I think games are the full 4.7 gigs for NTFS, with all the rubbish data still present. Using FAT32 scrubs them down beautifully.

I've updated german language for 53b: http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=205...t&p=2594892

In NTFS the file system use sparse ISO. If you look at the proprieties of the iso, you will see that the ISO is 4.2 Gb, but the space on disk is much less.

Hi! Please, add install games directly from DVD on NTFS:

-Fixed NTFS access. Several bugs in the libNTFS for Wii are fixed now. You have
full read/write/delete/rename access without anything going wrong or breaking
your partition now.
-Added the modified libNTFS to the source

cheers guys u seem to be updating weekly i check here daily to see if theres another new update with awesome features i can test out

omg NTFS DOESNT HAVE WRITE ABILITIES implemented into CFG Loader.... yet
Read the first page


hmm seen the post above if writing to ntfs(when its implemented) would it be in wbfs format... could it be in iso and be sparsed?

Personally i think all this NTFS stuff is a waste of time, FAT32 works great and works with most homebrew and not just USB Loaders.

convert .iso to .wbfs, keeping just the game partition works just fine for me, maybe you should do a bit more research before posting

How is it a waste of time? if your game is more than 4gb you'd have to split it anyhow, which isn't the case with NTFS

Come on how many wii games are actually over 4Gig? Not very many. And as you need to use a computer/program to transfer to your drive anyway i dont see any problem with splitting the few games that need it. Its much better than messing about with sparse ISO's.
