Hacking Configurable USB Loader

[Dr. Clipper]

A couple of questions:

1) How does one have RGB or HQ covers show as default on the game info screen?
I don't know what you mean by RGB cover. HQ covers are displayed on the game info screen (the one in the GUI) if they are available.

2) Is it possible not to show the "console" when loading a game. (the screen that displays how big the game is, what IOS is used, etc.)
If you turn off the GUI menus, yes, by disabling confirm start. Thus, the following options are needed:
gui=2
confirm_start=0

3) How does one turn of titles at bottom of screen?

Try the following option in config.txt:
gui_text_color_title=00000000

If that doesn't work, then the following will:
gui_text_color=0
gui_text_outline=0
gui_text_shadow=0
gui_text2_color=0
gui_text2_outline=0
gui_text2_shadow=0

QUOTE

4) Is it possible through skinning to display ONLY the game cover after you select a game, then click it again to start? (no need to go into detail if you don't feel like it, just wanted to know if I should bother even trying)

Thanks!

The answer for question 2 will avoid the second button push entirely (first push starts game). The only way you could do this instead would be to set all the text colours in the menu to transparent, which can be done with:
gui_text_color_menu=0

2 wiis + 2 drives ?
cross check them

try another cios (as in wan,hermes,d2x)

unlikely to be the cause but forget wbfs partitions
use fat32 instead

whats odd is my sons 500 gig usb hd works on either wii just fine . this drive the movies play fine using wii mplayer
. with the new drive the games all show up . i even downloaded all the covers and they showed up . but when i pick a game to start it the screen goes black and the game never starts . i also disabled the autorun cd image built into the usb drive and it made no difference .

Hey thanks for these answers.

As for question number 1, when you go to select a game, there's an option to show 2D box, 3D box, Disc, Full 3D box (can see all sides of box), HQ box, and RGB box.

RGB looks the best, followed by HQ. Especially when zooming in to read the back of box text.

Also, by default, it display the Full 3D box, not the HQ. At least on mine.
I read the FAQ and it says I can add "cover_style = 2d, 3d, full" but nothing about the HQ and RGB.

Of course I guess I should just go ahead and type "hq" or "rgb" for that setting and see what happens.

I see what you mean now. That part of the menu appears to default to full, when it really should be defaulting to the best available. I doubt there's any way to fix that for now, so look for a new version.

Just for anyone else wondering, I tried rgb, hq, and fullhq as parameters and they didn't work.

Hoping for next update!

I am still wondering if it's generally a good idea to enable write_playlog...
Does anyone here enable it?

As for my nunchuck bug refer to: http://devkitpro.org/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=2913
Hopefully someone there will check it...

1) It won't hurt anything
2) The official nunchuck works fine for me, and there have been no reports of it causing problems AFAIK.

Hi, my CFG loader isn't saving the play games time in wii's play log.. only says CFG loader played time..
any help? :/

:/

 

[ShadowSonic2]

Open your config.txt file in a Text Editor and add this line (or update the current one);
write_playlog = 1

Save it and CFG will put the name of the games played on the message board. config.txt should be in your usbloader folder on the root of your device.

It's not all nunchucks, It's only some of them that will have this issue. some nunchucks have calibration values stored on them that are incompatible with the way libogc works with them. at least that's what I think is causing this issue. It can be both fake or official nunchucks that have this issue.

Oh, now it's working! Thank you so much!!!!!!

Alright guys, heres the deal.
This loader cant handle all the cheats when i download them.

It says TOO MANY CHEATS!!!! (256)

So how do I put the cheats in from the computer, manually?

 

[Sirslask]

This might be asked for a few times before but I did not find anything.

I have tried to add new games to my harddrive (I am 100% sure I did it correctly)
But for some reason they did not show up in CFG.

I use v70 on a 4.1E Wii, all my "old" games run perfectly fine. This has happend to multiple games.
They are all .iso's
The games also show up in Wiibackup Manager

 

[JoostinOnline]

You shouldn't be using ISO files. Rip them to your HDD with Cfg.

 

[Sirslask]

They are ISO files on my HDD, that's what I've always been using.

EDIT: Nevermind, I updated storage convention with Wiibackup Manager and now it works. Thanks anyways

The first time I attempted to boot Xenoblade Chronicles from Configurable USB Loader it gave me a flashing screen. Now, it gives me a stack dump. I was sure I installed it right via the network but now I am not so sure. Is there any way to fix this?

Hi, Oggzee
I have a problem with CFG.
I have a hard drive (A-data).
If I partition it to FAT + WBFS, it's ok for CFG and GX
If I partition it to FAT + NTFS, it's ok for GX.
CFG can't read the NTFS partition, it will count 90 seconds
If I unplug the usb cable and plug in again, it works!!
Is this a issue about hard drive or CFG ?

Thanks!!

Probably a combination of the two, but just format the entire thing as FAT32.

 

[nobody_tw]

@JoostinONLINE
I know it's ok to format the drive with fat32 entirely.
My point is why GX ok and CFG can't?
and why WBFS is ok and NTFS is not ok?
and why just the drive behaves like this, the others are all ok?

BTW,
1. I execute the CFG and GX from HBC not using forwarder.
2. I am familiar with the setting about CFG and GX.

Thanks for your help.

NTFS doesn't have as good of support. Most apps don't support it at all. Not all drives work either.
