Hacking Configurable USB Loader

[Burton]

Silly solution.

The small usb cable from WD (passport edition) HD wasn't plugged in the right way.
They are very fragile...

*sigh* I'm glad you solved it.

Please, give me some help!

I put the cursor hand in the game (Prince of Persia: The forgotten sands) and press [A]. The console is open.

I press [1] and I can see a lot of options. I go to CHEATS and DOWNLOAD THE CHEAT FILE.

I enter in the option for see wich cheats is available and I see INF ENERGY (or something like that). I press [A] for check the option BUT I have to left this option for play the game (pressing [A] out of that menu).

How do I use the cheat? How do I save my choice? I have to use OCARINA CHEAT option?

I try everthing I can and I cant use the cheat...

If someone can help, I will apreciate!

Thanks since now!

If you try to use cheats on PoP without a USB Gecko, you will not be able to play the game.

Actually, I've been using cheats successfully with PoP without a USB Gecko. Here's how I got them working:

1st I'm using Cfg 222-mload but I have PoP set to use IOS 249

2nd I'm using these codes:
RPWZ41

That's all I did and the game has been working just fine, hope this helps

What base are you using for cIOS222 and cIOS249?

I'm using v5 of cIOS222 and cIOS249 rev17 with IOS38 v3867 as a base for both

Just an update, but I downgraded to v4 of cIOS222 (read earlier that it works better with Cfg than v5) with base IOS38 merged with 37 and upgraded cIOS249 to rev19 with base IOS38 v3867 and I can personally confirm that with the above method PoP loads just fine with all three codes active. Also, I don't know if it matters or not but I'm using Cfg57b6 with clear patches set to off. I'm currently about two hours into the game with no issues whatsoever.

Is the rumor true you can only have 500 games on a hard drive? fat32

FAT32 can have as many games as the hard drive will allow.
WBFS only allows 500 games.

 

[bigboss50]

nvm i solved it

 

[hetfield]

I've used USB loader CFG since the beginning with great pleasure.
For testing stuff i use both the loader on SD and a fat32 USB partition.

At the moment i'm at v57b7 and i found a bug in the config.txt. in \apps\usbloader_cfg

To reload the loader automatically after playing a game i added this option (depending on the use of SD or USB of course)

# Automatisch teruggaan naar de loader op USB
# return_to_channel = UCUF

# Automatisch teruggaan naar de loader op SD
return_to_channel = UCSF

This works perfect with every game… until Prince of Persia the forgotten Sands
When i erase this option i can play the game, if i add it, I can start the game, press trough the first 4 or 5 screens.
But when the intro should begin, it freezes in a black screen.

Normaly i do not have to change any settings in the games config.
Everything off and with IOS249 and no SPXP.wip file (with wip works too).

Now this problem occured, and i tried to change language, video, anti 002, alt.dol (wip file included) in short everything.
But no go until i erase the return to channel.

Is it a known bug or am i the first to report it?

I've fixed it with help from dr clipper.

Clear Patches option: On

So this would be the only game in which we cannot return to the channel then, pitty, but not a big problem.
Maybe an issue to handle in an update?

PoP introduced a new type of protection that looks for patches on the games and will crash during the opening sequence if they are found. It is the reason why the Clear Patches option was introduced in the first place. It seems like there may be another workaround via Ocarina that may allow you to get the return function working. I haven't tried it, so I don't know if it works, though. There is a very recent post in this thread about how to get Ocarina cheats working with PoP, so you might want to try to get it working.

 

[hetfield]

Thank you very much.
'll have a look into that when i have the time.
If i get it working i will post it here.

 

[FullMetalEnginee]

Is there a way to GLOBALLY set settings like FORCE to NTSC or 002 fix?!

it's such a pain to only have config for each individual title..

Yes. All per-game options can be set globally within config.txt. Use the Configurator or work out what to add by looking at README-CFG or the options' info page.

 

[Rheault]

Hey, been using CFG USB loader for months, I does everything I need perfectly (I've yet to find flaws honestly) and looks quite nice. Very great work team!

I'd like to request an (useless) feature, I've been using the "favorite" feature for quite a while to tag the games I beat (my icon is a wii sports like gold medal, haha). That might sound stupid, but it motivates me to directly see which games are completed and which I've yet to beat.

Anyway, it could be interesting to be able to tag (and sort) games as Beaten, Completed and Unfinished, something similar to the Backloggery's system maybe?

Better yet and probably a lot simpler, being able to have different types of favorites? That way you can do whatever you need with the feature to sort your games.

Or is there already something similar that I've yet to notice (or a better place to request such things)?

Thanks.

 

[Dr. Clipper]

Different sets of favorites can be managed via profiles. The easiest way to set these up is with the Configurator as you can mark off which games should appear as favorites in each profile. You can also use the profile_names option in config.txt and then manually configure the games for each profile within the loader. You can have up to 10 profiles and each profile can have 100 favorites. You can switch between profiles using the global options menu, or assign profile switch to a button action (e.g., button_2=profile).

 

[SquareWheel]

I've gone through the many settings in the configurator but I can't see how to change the code directory, is this possible? I'm trying to get the different USB loaders to play nicely and share their files.

How about showing miis upon launch and just switch between config files on selection? Mii displaying is already possible.

And here are some added features related to this,

1. Extend parental control stuff so that one can lock his configuration to a password, selecting mii, entering password...
2. Saves can be tied to the mii profiles as well, but this requires a lot of code to be written and will be problematic if the procedure fails... Say before launching the game copy existing save to the home directory of whoever last played that game (could be tracked by saving a file into the game's actual save place) , copy user's save if he is different from whoever last played that game... blah blah...

 

[George Dawes]

#2 on that list is similar to what I suggested a few weeks back - using an emulated nand (as in uloader) for each profile/mii; that way everyone who uses a wii gets their own saves, without worrying about them being overwritten by someone else.
