Hi,


First tryout of this loader, and i had the following issue.
The onscreen game selection was fast...however the settings menu was really slow (gear icon).
My wiimote wasnt responsive...and i could hardly move :\

anyone can make me explain why of this?

My breakdown:
- WiicoverflowRC2
- Waninkoko FW4.0
- cIOS Rev 10
- 4:3 TV
- PAL

any helped thanked

I Updated the first post.... Sounds like there may be some wiimote compat issues with this release though.

Time will tell

 

[ganons]

are the covers displayed non pixelated now?

I didn't have this problem, but then again I didn't really test that part out... I will check it tomorrow.

I can confirm that the installation of games work now, no more crashes

The same occurs with my WII, and also on the Wii-mote is like a vibrator

Works well on my Wii. REV10 3.2E Wiikey 1

If I start with nunchuck plugged in, the wiimote doesn't work well. Without nunchuck there are no problems.
Tried with WiiCoverFlow-RC2Update.

rc1 worked great for me, but with rc2, wiimote is going crazy.
sometimes the cursor disappears and most of the time, i can't control it at all.. it moves in random directions.
i have a classic controller plugged in, btw.

not sure if you would like to use these or not but your more then welcome to, modified some button and wiimote images.

great work, glad to see my dvd drive access light suggestion (issue 95) made it to this cut. keep up the great work!

 

[Sledge1]

First time i ran it, all seemed ok. started up a game etc..
Second(code dump) and subsequent starts no good.. just exits back to HBC or freezes now..

 

[jhoff80]

The disc light being added in seems to slow things down quite a bit.

i disconnected my classic controller and it works fine now.
didn't have this issue with rc1..
i'm switching back to rc1.

 

[DJJayTee]

I'm gettin a code dump after about 30-45 seconds for no reason.... in rc1 and 2... no problem if i go back to the betas... i can just let it load and wait, not even touch the 'mote and it just dumps... hmmmm

OK, you're hired (see build r383) . But seriously, now you made the rest of the Home Screen look sad. So can you do the same magic with the 'Close' button... etc? Maybe try something other than a blue gradient (more Jobs, less Mario if you know what I mean)...

 

[pretender13]

sure

i'll see what i can do.

off to zzz soon will post something in the morning.
