I upgraded from version 58. v58 i didn't have to change any settings
You can save the settings for each game with button '2', after setting it to force NTSC. Afterwards if you play the same game again, it will already use the settings you saved before...

Sorry but, nobody knows what's wrong with my CFG?

I can't download anything from internet (covers, updates) and i can't take screenshots because the Loader just freezes or show a Code Dump.
I can play normally, right, but i think this is something i need to fix.

Are you sure that the Wii is correctly connected to the Internet?
Have you tried the links used for updating directly in a browser to check if they are OK?
Have you tried updating wiidbt database instead?

I had the same problem after i did update via internet. i downloaded the CFG from here and copied it directly to either the sd card or the HDD. both worked fine for me. I also deleted all my old CFG.

Ya that's what i have been doing, it's just a headache to do it that way since you have to re-boot the wii after if the game doesn't work. In version 58, I didn't have to do it manually.
Awesome program either way.

Links are ok.

Well, i don't update via internet, i download the pack from here and change all old for new, the problem stars here.
And yes, i'm sure, no old data remain in SD.

Links are ok. Why don't you attach your config.txt and settings.cfg here? Maybe it may help understand what may be wrong.

Can you take a picture and put it in here, so that maybe oggzee can take a look at it?

I don't if this problem is happening only with me, but the partition autodetection isn't working here. The loader keeps saying the recognized partition is invalid, and I have to choose it manually. Maybe the option is broken, again?

Using v65-222, with the IOS222 v4 from Hermes. The same things occurs with the SD card.

Does the usbloader support multiple hdd?
I've got an samsung S1 mini 18" (250GB) but the wii freezes with Super MArio and WII Sport Resort

But I can play these games with another USB memory Stick (16GB)

So instead of switching these the every time I would like to use a USB hub...
So before I buy a usb hub...is it possible and which one do I need to buy?

Thanks in advice.

PS the loader is very awsome ;-)

I think that two USB devices (like a hard disk and a pendrive) connected to usb0 port with a hub isnt supported.Anyway you must think why these two games doesnt work fine.I dont think that the problem was the hard disk.

Thx.

I just tried updating CFG from cfg64-compat to cfg65-compat and after rebooting booth systems could not find my USB Drives.

1 system is using a 500GB Western Digital My Book and the othe is using an 8GB USB Jump drive.

When I reverted back to cfg64-compat everything is fine.


So I take it that no one else is having a problem like this?

Any ideas of what maybe causing this issue?

Two suggestions for oggzee and Dr.Clippers in these "quiet" days:

(i) The first one is a classical for me and I have suggested it more times: I think that showing a concrete cover in the general options (button '1' and button '1') carries to misunderstanding to newbies.

(ii) I think that would be very interesting know the IOS and IOS version used by the game when it is played from disk channel.So when you had a problem with a concrete game that information would be useful for changing the cIOS base.

Thx.

PD: One question: when you dump a original game to USB disk the update partition is removed?

jesquinas,

Thank you for your reply.
I will try to find a solution (maybe updating some CIOS .... ?), but I do have the latest configurable usb loader. I've also tested with neogamma and usbloader GX but still the same problems occure.

It is known that some hdd's are not fully supported and offcourse it is strange that the games do not work with 3 different GUI's and they do work with a pendrive ... to me that sounds like a hdd problem

If you could give us more information....firmware version,partition format,cIOS versions,etc,etc....but I think that the problem is related with your cIOS.

Thx.

No, but when you run a game from a cIOS, the cIOS skips the update partition !!

Yes,its correct because I suppose thar the .wbfs file has got inside the IOS used for the game and the minimal version,doesn it?

I don't know how but, the lines:
CODEcover_url =+ http://boxart.rowdyruff.net/flat/{ID6}.png
cover_url_3d =+ http://boxart.rowdyruff.net/3d/{ID6}.png
cover_url_disc =+ http://boxart.rowdyruff.net/fulldisc/{ID6}.png
Was missing in the config.txt...so, that's solved all...even screenshots problems...

Sorry by troubles and thanks for all help; btw continue with the awesome job.

Sorry if this has already been asked but, is there a way to change the gui_style and gui_rows variables while running cfg usb loader?

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves

    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
