Hacking Cover Flow USB ISO Loader by Beardface

[Nullkill]

I Just modified the first post to make it 'timeless'...

Someday I'll start developing this app again, for now, everyone take a moment to appluad Fishears and his hard work!

.... **Applause** .....

Hey Fishears, back from the dead for a short while....

What would you like me to update the first post with? Wish there was a way to allow GBAtemp to let you edit it for me...

What you've done is great. It makes the thread look more alive. Thanks for dropping by - sorry I missed you.

 

[cambric]

thanks for the new r1059, I will test it asap

 

[fishears]

I'd appreciate a report, cambric, I'm not able to get on the Wii for a day or so... If you say it works then I'll post it to the auto-update service but until then I'd rather not.
Thanks

I've been using this USB loader from day one, absolutely love it. I have a noob question about the new updates.

I'm still on v1.2a with system menu 4.0U, cIOS v10. Last night I tried r1055, but hangs on the black screen trying to launch the app. Do I have to upgrade my cIOS to v17 or v19 first to run r1055 or up? Thanks again for the hard works.

TBH, I haven't tested r1055 with anything lower than cIOSrev14 so that could be the issue. It will work with cIOSrev14 up to cIOSXrev19.


NEWS FROM TWITTER:
r1060 is now up for download & auto-update. This rev REALLY fixes language saving & is fully tested by me. Sorry to r1059 testers

The r1060 download is now packaged for HBC. That means it's in /apps/CoverFloader and comes with the boot.dol, icon.png and meta.xml - this should make things neater (particulary for people new to this loader).
I've taken this opportunity to replace the old icon with the one used in my sig and on the code site. Hope you prefer it like I do... you can, of course, keep the old one if you'd rather.

@Fishears nice work mate!

Does this mean someone will update the forwarder with the new logo/icon too?

Simply one word.... Great....
Has this version to be considered as the "official" 1.3 or not?
Sorry for the delay, this night I should start my tests... (busy period at work and with kids...)

 

[fishears]

Thanks.
All current builds are just updates of the 1.3 release. I might bump it up to [drumroll]1.4[/drumroll] when the FAT/NTFS support goes live.

Any chance we will see an updated WAD-channel installer soon? I am still using the old 1.1 and would like to benefit from the extras added to the lastest builds ...

Like this program very much!

We've had 1.2 and 1.2a channels available for download since August 09. We've stopped supporting embedded channels since 1.3 because it just creates more work each time we make a new release. Best advise is to use a forwarder so that you can take advantage of the auto-update feature and keep current that way. I'll be updating the forwarder soon (most if it is done but I need help with the splash screen).

@Fishears you should PM Troythezombie.. he made a coverfloader Forwarder and he just recently updated his channels and re-released them.. just an idea, hes back on the scene, he might want to help..

Thanks Fishears, will give it a try after Eastern ...

Good idea - Troy's is my favourite forwarder anyway. I'll see what he says...

EDIT: He says he'll update his forwarder in the next few days. Thanks Troy!

i don't know why i can't load coverflooder. i keep getting code dump error during loading... last time i remember i can boot without any problem.. currently i'm in 4.0u, kepp trying using old n vew version still the same..

as far as i remember i only update cios, nothing more.. other loader works beautifully..

 

[nikeymikey]

Excuse me, but does this loader support loading .wbfs from a fat32 hard drive?

@Fishears is currently plugging away at Fat/NTFS support..so for now I think its WBFS hard drive only..
