Hacking Configurable USB Loader

[chaseincats]

can someone briefly explain how to play .wbfs games off of a fat32 formatted SD card

when I start config usb loader it says waiting for wbfs partition mount

I have waninkoko cios rev17 and hermes 222/223 installed

any ideas?

Delete or alter the settings for "device" and "partition" in settings.cfg. Then, add "device=sdhc" and "partition=fat1" to config.txt. It's also probably worth adding "ios=249" or ensuring you are using the plain version of the loader rather than the -222 one.


alright, so I did that and now it allows me to choose my input device at start but when I click sdhc it says no games found when I have a .wbfs formatted game in the root
maybe theirs something wrong with the code any suggestions?

config.txt

theme = BlueMatrix
profile_names = default
partition = FAT1
gui = start
gui_transition = fade
gui_style = flow
gui_rows = 2
fix_002 = 1
device = sdhc

settings.cfg
CODE

# CFG USB Loader settings file v54
# Note: This file was generated by Cfg Loader Configurator v54.2
# Global Settings:
device = sd
theme = NXE_transparent
gui_style = carousel
gui_rows = 1
profile = default
partition = FAT1

# Profiles: 1
[profile=default]

# Hidden Games: 1
hide_game = __CF

# Game Options: 0
#END

I strongly suggest you either try installing a game from a retail disc onto the card, or reading the first post of this thread. Either of those tasks will likely highlight your error.

Just read the first post already especially the FAT-FAQ section.

.wbfs files go in the /wbfs folder on the root of your drive/partition

Sorry if this i a noob question, but can CFG be used to play Wiiware/VC games as well, that would be awesome! Tried uloader but the interface is horrible and i get a black screen whenever i try to launch a game (hermes 222).

 

[PNo4]

So is it recommended to move up from cIOS rev17 to cIOS rev19 ?

You can map any channel you have installed on your Wii (such as a VC game) to any of the buttons in config.txt, so technically yes

Yes.

Is this because 17 is so bad. Or 19 is so good?
I am still on 14 is it wise to install 19 as well ?

when i add cfg forwarder (any of the 3 i found) to auto-boot using priiloader it just boots to black screen, but when i auto-boot from cfg.dol (not forwarder) it succeeds in booting into. what can prevent it? i have both usbloader folder in sd:/apps/ and usb:/apps/, hmm
..

 

[Taleweaver]

I use baduncle's forwarder to boot "SD:\apps\USBLoader_cfg" and it works fine (can't tell whether the "_cfg" suffix in the foldername is required, but it might be).

Does the NTFS support with CIOS 249 rev.19 is full read / write or read only?

thanks

The cios has no role in ntfs write since the ntfs library is in the loader, not in the cios.
So, no, nothing has changed in that regard. For the moment, ntfs is still readonly.

Scuse me,but what i can map the config.txt for play whit my VC Game?

I use baduncle's forwarder to boot "SD:\apps\USBLoader_cfg" and it works fine (can't tell whether the "_cfg" suffix in the foldername is required, but it might be).

thank you,i`ll try it! that way we can update much quicker and more convenient.

fyi, newer unofficial version of priiloader have fixed launching an installed file (next official release will also include this fix), so u can still use NForwarder to forward/launch configurable usb loader... which is better than bad uncles file (no disrespect @ bad uncle, his version worked for us when no other version could, but now the original cfg forwarder is working again, so in my opinion, bad uncles file has served its purpose and we can now revert to the original Nforwarder file).
