Hacking Cover Flow USB ISO Loader by Beardface

Yes, bug is that

Download covers is Swap,

when "Download 3D covers" it downloads 2D Covers & when "Download 2D covers" it realy downloads 3D Covers

Until bug is corrected simply download Both, and you will got that realy Nice 3D Covers

Salu2...

Looks great but I keep geeting a corrupted pointer with 3d covers, anyone else? Keep up the good work.

I saw on the Google Code page that there's a max of 70 covers for 3d, so there's an option for 2d. I was wondering if a third option would be best- if it would be possible to only display the front and side of the 3d cover, and then the back of it could just be left blank (and of course 2 would no longer flip the box over either). Would that free up enough memory to give around double the amount of games supported?

yep now i get corrupted pointer every time.
and 3d covers lag... maybe i just have too many games.
anyway, going back to 2d for now.

I was wondering why my bandwidth usage on my boxart site jumped from 600 gigs to 800 gigs in 2 days .. everyone is downloading both.

It will be down to having too many games, dont think the wii memory can hold anymore than 70 3d covers at the moment, not sure if they can optimize the code at a later date.

Ive currently got 60 games and the 3d covers are working fine with this amount.

I just grabbed RC4 and here are my first findings:

- The version string in the application is wrong, it shows R472 RC3
- The settings menu is not properly lined out.
- As mentioned in other posts the download logic for 2D/3D covers is swapped.

Here I ran into a 1 time (?) problem: I had to grab the covers while the loader was in 2D mode,
after that I switched to 3D mode and the loader exited to the HBC.
I restarted the loader and switched to 3D mode again, everything was fine.
I hope this is understandable

- I'm using the white theme, maybe it would be nice to use a white outline font for the game titles.
The black font doesn't fit quite in.

Also could some dev look to the comment mentioned here:

Could one of the devs have a look at Issue 159?
It's marked as WontFix but I think blackbird misunderstood the problem.

This is a disadvantage of googlecode imho, since only devs can reopen issues.

But this loader is really turning in a nice gem!

Keep up the good work.

i have a little question to rc4

where is the option to turn on 3d covers?

i deletet all my covers on the sd card than i was in the loader in options and graphics options but i dont see anytghing about 2d/3d

Go to the settings menu and click on the OK button behind The option Graphics.

This is not entirely logical, if the button had the label "More..." more people would find it

Hi all,
Got a bit of a prob.
Currently using RC3 and all was working fine with a few glitches installing certain games.
However, also using WBFS manager on my PC I wanted to be able toi transfer ISO's across, unfortunately this wasn't recognising my Hard Disk so I re-formatted it and it now works with WNFS manager perfectly. It also works when loading games through CoverFlow fine, BUT, when I try and install games there's always a problem. I'm trying to install my store bought games and they randomly freeze at different points through installation. I'm wondered if this is a fault with my Hard Disk or Coverflow? As they seem to stop at different points in the installation at completely different times would this indicate it's a Hard disk issue? It was working, despite a few hiccups with certain games, fine before it's just become a problem after formatting.
It's quite an old Hard Disk in a caddy so was going tp upgrade regardless, but thought I'd check here first as don't want it doing this with the new WD one I plan to buy!
Cheers

I should have fixed it in build r482.

RC4 is awesome with the full covers! I do hope the corrupted pointer gets sorted out quickly (86 games here). Keep up the good work!!!

R479 should have fixed this if you can compile yourself.

 

[mooseknuckle2000]

I've never tried. It seems like it wouldn't be too hard. Maybe I'll get the time to dig into this soon, I'd love to have to pointer fixed.

 

[Meannekes]

now i have a new little problem

i deletet all covers on my sd
set the loader to 3d covers
than i downloaded the covers but it downloaded the normal covers for 2d oö

have can i fix that?

 

[mooseknuckle2000]

try clicking d/l 2d covers. I think the d/l buttons are in the wrong places (2d is for 3d and 3d is for 2d)

 

[Escape-To-88]

Should have fixed what exactly? I asked a couple of questions.
Do you mean the freezing up etc. and 'r482' are you referring to another loader - Ultimate USB ?

 

[mooseknuckle2000]

has anyone tried RC4 on cios rev12 yet? I know this loader had issues with rev 9, does everything work okay on rev 12?

Seems to be working fine for me, I only played for a few minutes using it though.

 

[mooseknuckle2000]

but no menu corruption or anything?
