Hacking Cover Flow USB ISO Loader by Beardface

[eldi]

How do you know if a game is PAL or NTSC when using cover flow - could there not be an option to show the game region along with the name of the game please ?

You can tell easily by the cover, as NTSC covers have the ESRB, and Pal have something different, or at least their ratings look different. Problem solved.

Sweet - thanks

Apologies if this is an age old question but could somebody please briefly let me know how I can take ISO's I have on my PC and put them in the correct format on the external drive Cover Flow uses? Will Windows recognise the drive in that WBFS format? Many thanks.

Windows will not recognize a WBFS formatted drive, when it is detected it will ask to format everytime (DON'T EVER FORMAT, unless thats what you want).
You need to download a program, there are several, that manage WBFS drives. I like WBFS manager 3.0 by AlexDP found here: http://wbfsmanager.codeplex.com/

This will allow you to add the ISO's off of your PC's hdd and add them to the WBFS drive. If you haven't already formatted a drive to WBFS it will do that as well.

If you do what the instructions say then you won't get called a dipshit, dipshit.

Can someone please answer my question?

Can someone please answer my question?

YES it's the latest version, unless you happened to take the source code and compile it yourself. If you notice on the first page it says July 07, which was only a few days ago. Expect a new revision every couple weeks, or week if there's really a need. I expect most programmers are waiting until Waninkoko releases rev14 before wasting too much time on temporary "workarounds." Expect a host of changes for most loaders in the next week or two.

Not the right thread, but drive to drive with Wbfs Manager 3.0 works fine, but depending on how may games is how long it will take about 100 games or 180-200gig will take around 6 hours

the interface and error messages look like they were wrote by a 13 year old

What's up with this arsehole anyway!? I don't get it. This is the best USB loader around IMHO.

Will Cover Flow be using this in the future:

Hi,

I want to use this loader.
Is it possible to run everything from the USB HD or does this loader to be installed on a SD card?

Thanx!

Please add WiiBoxart back!

It was great to get covers from, if you subscriped there...

WiiTDB ist great, too, but i can't find lots of covers with it's update feature.

In the next revision it should be possible to choose between WiiBoxart and WiiTDB. =)

Here is a workaround:

Bottom right - Zip File section
You can get all you need and then some. Just Unzip and copy the files over to the appropriate folder on your sd card...and you are good as golden.

For some reason I wasn't getting many disc images (not that big a deal) did the above...and I'm set.

I have the EXACT same problem. I was just replacing lwp_watchdog.h to get it working before but obviously something else is different now.

Has anyone ahd a problem playing the ghostbusters game? Everytime I load it I get a green screen even with both the game fix's. I am using rev10 and cover flow 1
