Nope, impossible. Had to be something else, the fact that Black Ops was the last thing to run doesn't mean it's the problem. Also, define "Messed up", please?

Hello, I do not have wifi connection working for my wii, so I downloaded all the covers with Backup Manager to my PC.

If I copy them to SD cards, where usb-loader is, they show up nice.

However, if I copy all the covers to my NTFS formatted usb hard disk (/usb-loader/ folder) and add the line

covers_path = usb:/usb-loader/covers

they don't show up at all.

Please help, what am I doing wrong?

Can cfg usb loader LOAD (boot.dol) from a ntfs partition and have its resources (usbloader folder with all the files inside included covers) be on a ntfs partition too?

im asking this, cuz this wasnt possible before.. the application needed to be on a fat partition..

You will need to look into the usb forwarder I linkded in answer to the question zizer quoted.
You will only get it to load covers from usb, only if you boot CFG from usb.

 

[Barbanera]

I already have the forwarder installed.

Now, I copied /usb-loader/ and /apps/usbloader_cfg
from SD to USB.

However, when running the forwarder (or USB loader from
homebrew channel) it still seems to load from SD:/usb-loader/

Should I just remove/rename /usb-loader on SD or how can I force
the forwarder to load from USB

Ok, I managed to get it to work 2 ways:

1) loading USB Loader from USB hard disk by copying there the folders /usb-loader/ and /apps/usbloader_cfg from the SD *and* starting the Wii without the SD in;
in this case config.txt contains no covers_path definition

2) loading USB Loader from SD and covers from USB hard disk by copying there /usb-loader/covers/ and editing the config.txt with

covers_path = ntfs:/usb-loader/covers

The latter was key to my original post problems: use "ntfs" and not "usb" !

Thanks for your help.

For point 1, note that Cfg will typically prefer the SD to the USB when it does its search for config.txt to determine the base directory. Simply deleting config.txt from sd:/usb-loader and from the directory where you have the app will make it choose the version on the drive instead. This means you can still have the app itself on the SD, with all other files on the drive if you like. And yes, you need to use ntfs:/ to reference NTFS drives for covers.

Alright, so I just switched over from GX to CFG, and after a huge hassle with the loader not being able to find cIOS249 (it asked to install) I got it to load, but now it won't recognize my hard drive, plugged into either port. I know it's compatible, cause I've been using it with GX for a while, only difference is this time I've formatted it to NTFS, and I reinstalled cIOS249.

EDIT: Alright, fixed that, just needed to reinstall cIOS, but now it's not showing any games on my hard drive. (I've got them in the wbfs folder, and they're iso's)

Are the files named correctly? Also, is the ntfs folder spelt in lower case? The best way to figure most of this out is to install a game from a disc. To do this on an ntfs drive, you just have to add "ntfs_write=1" to config.txt and then start Cfg and push + and follow the prompts. If it installs and plays fine, then the fault is in the way you stored the other games. Look at the FAQ in the first post for more info.

I had a lot of trouble with ntfs at the start too. Its really picky, after I started moving games over with Wii Backup Manager or installing the games through CFG everything started working flawlessly.

cIOSX rev21d2x v4 has been released: http://gbatemp.net/t277659-ciosx-rev21d2x-...another-hot-fix
I'll install both versions (via ModMii and via the new installer) and see if the hashes are different.

Edit: here are the hashes installed with the Homebrew Installer v1.1 by dragbe (http://www.mediafire.com/?bgr6jgrvj6k53t6)

[XFlak]

those are the hashes of the wads themselves, the cfg usb-loader team needs a different set of hashes, AFAIK the only way to determine them is by installing the cios's then using cfg usb loader to dump them

 

[FIX94]

Finally ciosx d2x v4 final is out! Could you please add it to the next version oggzee?

getting rid of wii flow, an gx, just want to use one loader. got the newest cfg, downloaded all covers, setting games up to play, tried to play an it said some thing about hook type not set then went to black screen an didn't load, tried three games all with same results. wiiflow an gx these games work. they are copies of copies. friends wii reads burned disk, so i used them, an installed them to hdd.

 

[Ryoku83]

Make sure your settings are correct. Only thing in CFG that i know of that has anything to do with hooks is the oracina cheats and if you don't set that up right it won't work.
