Hacking Configurator for Configurable USB Loader

[Dr. Clipper]

oops... I forgot to make the reading code use the real values rather than translations...

 

[Dr. Clipper]

v56.2 of Configurator is out

Download here or use online update (via Actions menu)

Changes:

• Fixed reading of translated combo values (I hope)

No translation changes.

Everything's okay: config.txt's options are read fine and WDM files have been loaded correctly.

There must be an incompatibility between the way cfg-loader and the Doc's configurator write the settings.cfg file.

If I make any changes to any game settings via cfg-loader, the configurator will complain about an invalid setting for every game that is in settings.cfg.

It can be quite tedious to have to keep clicking OK 50+ time so that it continues to read the remaining settings.

Also, the "resetting-Pune-back-to-reboot" bug in config.txt (at least for the button_H setting) seems to have returned in v56

Which setting?

I can't reproduce your button_H problem either. Could you perhaps post your files online so I can have a look at them? Just pasting them into a post inside a spoiler box should be fine.

OK 1st problem. Configurator v56+

my config.txt file contains the line 'button_H = Pune'

I run the program. It detects existing config.txt and asks if I want to load it. I click 'Yes'

Program loads and i go to Global Theme Overrides 2 and my existing button selections are displayed - including "Pune" in the button_H box.

So now, even if I make no changes whatsoever and click either of the 'Generate config.txt...' buttons at the bottom, the config.txt file it creates now has the line 'button_H = reboot'

No idea how to paste anything into a spoiler box as I can't find that option anywhere in the editor, but if you create a config.txt file with the line 'button_H = Pune', open in configurator and generate it again, the line will now read 'button_H = reboot'. Happens every time.

2nd problem (I'm sure this happens with versions earlier than 56 as well)

After using configurator to set up my game settings I get it to generate settings.cfg.
I can quit the program and subsequent times I load seetings.cfg no problem.

But if I run cfg loader and go to ANY game and change (in my case) ios from 249 to 222-mload (or anything else) then the next time I read settings.cfg with configurator, a message box will pop up for however many games have setting saved in that file. The message box complains of an invalid value for hooktype although no hook-types have been selected for any game.

Come to think of it . . .

Perhaps it's bug in cfgloader. I thought hooktypes were a subsetting of ocarina (which is set to 'off' in all games)

/EDIT

There it is!

configuator writes hooktype:1 amongst it's game settings

cfgloader writes hooktype:VBI

v56.3 of Configurator is out

Download here or use online update (via Actions menu)

Changes:

• Fixed reading of wdm files a second time
• Fixed writing of read button_* options and home option
• Fixed settings hooktype option

No translation changes.

Thanks for the explanations Tristar. Made the bugs really easy to find

.

 

[Tristar]

Glad to help Doc,

Works like a charm now

 

[Dr. Clipper]

Oh, and for future reference, just put spoilers inside spoiler tags like this:

[spoiler]text to hide[/spoiler]

And it will look like:

Spoiler

text to hide

I'll give it a whirl next time, thanks

What is MagicWord ??

[orwel]

french translation updated

 

[Dr. Clipper]

What is MagicWord ??

Pip'

It's a set of words that allows you to reboot and tell Priiloader to do something else than it normally would on startup. Currently there are only two words: Daco, which will take you into the Priiloader menu and Pune, which will take you to the Wii system menu. The priiloader and wii_menu button actions can be used to access these magic word features, or you can just use the magic word itself.

We can translate combo boxes now, but after I translated combo boxes,
Configurator says "Invalid option on line X" though it is correct.
This issue don't occur when I don't use cdbs.

You must update the Configurator: this was corrected in 56.2.

Oh, sorry.

 

[marti0075]

hey i can on this tools edit limit cheats on ocraina USB Loader.when i run super smash bros brawl codes list then i get "Too many Code"

 

[Dr. Clipper]

No you can't. The code list for Brawl is too long and editing it within Cfg doesn't make much sense. Just use Gecko OS' Code Manager app. It will let you create your gct file and you just need to put it into the cheats directory and turn on Ocarina in Cfg.

 

[Pippin666]

At home, I only have a small netbook to use.  The screen is small 10.1 and I can't use all of the configurator buttons and options, see : 

Is there any way the devers of this configurator fix that ??

[Dr. Clipper]

Gee, I didn't know that 600 height resolutions were still current on any systems. I'll try to come up with a solution.
