Hacking Cover Flow USB ISO Loader by Beardface

[Nullkill]

Thanks to NullKill updating his 1st post about what is required I now know why I had code dumps upon starting the loader. I'm using cIOS rev9 whereas this loader requires cIOS rev10, which according to DiggityDog is a heaping pile of cIOS crap

Any chance this can be achieved on cIOS rev9? I'd hate to install a buggy cIOS on my Wii.

I'm interested to know what makes cIOS rev10 a buggy pile of crap? Seems to work fine for me, but i skipped 9 and went straight to 10.

As for getting it to work under 9; sure, its possible. I just know the difference between 9 and 10...

Is there anyway to use a background image with this loader?

I too would like to know hah (just the messenger here) I asked on their IRC channel yesterday about upgrading from 9 to 10 and that's when the statement was made. I'm new to the Wii modding scene so I don't know the differences really but rev10 was made out to be a problem child of cIOS. Would you be able to make a rev9 version of this?

Like i said; not until i know the diff between 9 and 10. I don't see why the code wouldn't run on either cIOS.

Ahh, kk, I'll just update to rev10

Thanks!

damn this has reallt progressed and looking sweet! i really wnt to use the autodownload of covers but normally have my internet disabled for wifi connection to wii. im just afraid of it updating or smething. where exactly are the missing covers downloaded from and is it 100% safe?

If it's not a lot work it would be great if you could create a compatible cios 9 version because I don't want to update to version 10 because I haven't got any problem with version 9 and some people said at the beginning they had problems with 10.
And I was waiting for version 11 that it will have more improvements and i don't like upgrading cios too frecuently.

OMG just because somebody said that cIOSrev10 is buggy doesnt mean that it is. Im using rev10 since it was released and never had any problems.

cIOS rev10 was released along with a version of USB Loader that was buggy. People thought it was rev10 that was buggy when it was in fact the version of USB Loader that was buggy and was fixed shortly thereafter.

OMG!!!

should I say FJC? spoke to Amiga btw.

The only difference between rev9 and rev10 is the ability to load from SD-card. Even if your not using this feature I would recommend rev10 because there arent any disadvantages.

Are you sure that's the only difference because I'm using ultimate usb loader loading the game's images from the sd card without any problem with rev 9.

As well as it's working fantastic without any problem with any game so I don't see any reason to change but been able to use cover flow loaders.

As I said before I don't like upgrading cios frecuently because there is a small risk of bricking the WII ( I know it's really small) and knowing new version is coming with probably better compatibility I prefer just waiting.

Anyone who has problems with thier covers it is because they are not 160x224, most of the downloaded covers from the loader or from boxart page is 160x225 and thats the prob, you need to re-size them

since the source is available, is it possible to enhance this by turning on wii light just after selecting game, and fading in and out the blue light till the vid screen switches to load the game. suiggestion , but its pretty cool

Sweet! Got the 5.1b, deleted all my active covers on the SD and re-downloaded them thru the Cover Flow app. Now all works like a charm! But if i going to use this loader as my main loader, i must have a child-proof verseion (no game uninstall) because my 4 yr old son like to press the buttons..

Is there a config option to do this with this loader?

Hold A+B+1+2 with the pointer on nothing on the main screen
