I know it's mentioned that this project is close to dead, but by any chance would it be possible though to add a MPT-like menu to House of the Dead 2 & 3 Returns? HoD2 is Alt Dol to hod2.dol, HoD3 needs alt-dol off, if I'm remembering correctly.

The only reason I mention it is because the changelog says it should be easy to add similarly for future MPT-like games, but hell if I know how to do something like that.

So do you have to format to a special filesystem?
FAT file system allows to use files smaller than 2GB, and ISOs are 4GB....
The HD used by USB Loaders must have at least one WBFS partition where the ISOs are stored by using the WBFS Manager http://wbfsmanager.codeplex.com/
Have you ever played games off a PS2 hard drive, because I have and comparing it to that would be easy for me to understand.

On the PS2 you have the hard drive formatted in some file system (I don't remember the name) and use WinHIIP to transfer the games, so in terms of Wii WBFS is the filesystem and WBFS is like WinHIIP?

My question is so if I have a partition in WBFS and put backups on it, will they run in any Backup loader? And I can still have a FAT/NTFS partition on the drive?

Yes you can have 2 partitions Fat & WBFS
WBFS Manager will transfer the games (they need to be iso format) to the wbfs partition on your drive and they will be compressed/padding removed, (ciso format) much smaller

Not Backup Loader but a USB Loader (CoverFloader, GX Loader ect) will display covers and info and boot the games

To format to wbfs you can use the Wii or WBFS Manager 3.0, there are other wbfs type managers, wbfs manager 3.0 is the popular one

I thought ciso (CSO) was just for PSP games...

What do you mean by that?

Do you know if there are any managers for Linux? If not I'll just VM...

Awesome....though if it's not too much trouble could someone post a compiled build of it?

anyone? Another advantage of the latest build is that it'll actually work correctly to boot the new version of the HBC necessary for 4.2.

You mention the last release (SVN r975) works with 4.2.
I had the bad idea to update to 4.2, but this release does not boot

I simply get a blank screen and the Wiimote gets disconnected... any suggestion on how to fix this?
Thanks

*link removed*

This is not a forwarder and loads directly from the system menu!

Enjoy!

Edit: This SVN revision allows you to return to the Homebrew Channel (1.0.5). Still requires files on SD card such as covers and etc.
