Hacking Cover Flow USB ISO Loader by Beardface

[Meannekes]

i have a little question

how to compile it by myself?

if you down load the source there are do folders, each of them have a makefile oö
which one i have to use

but no menu corruption or anything?

Menu corruption has nothing to do with what version of cIOS you're using. It happens because the program runs out of available memory. It'll happen with RC4 no matter what if you have above a certain number of covers (over 70 in 3d, over 300-something in 2d). In newer revisions that are not publicly available at this time, they're working on that, so the next RC should have it improved or maybe even fixed entirely. Until then, deal with the corruption,or switch back to 2d covers.

I Fixed the swapped 2D/3D Download in r488.

Anyone have time to compile test the build out of svn? If r488 works well; I'll update the RC4 download and post a new dol...

 

[Meannekes]

if you can say how to compile it i can test it

but i dont know how because there are 2 makefiles

Here is a Preview of RC5 to test...
http://wiicoverflow.googlecode.com/files/W...verFlow-RC5.zip

If you could let me know if it installs games/downloads covers/ has working 2d and 3d I would appreciate it!

Seems to work here; but so did RC4

Thanks!

2d/3d covers working for me and cover download now too (in rc4 it downloaded 2d covers in 3d mode, but now it works)

i dont have a game atm to install to test it sry

In RC5's preview, I'm still having the issue I mentioned where the wrong covers are being displayed at times in 3d mode. I've got like 85 games installed though, so it might be a memory issue. The cursor corruption appears to be fixed, but I'm getting another issue that I haven't seen in a while, where part of the cover image for a few games is obscured by what looks like 'snow' on a TV with no signal. I assume that's again an out of memory-type issue, because when I scroll to the opposite side of the list and then back, it's fixed.

I mentioned this earlier, but if you end up not being able to optimize better to have more memory available in 3d covers mode, then I'd suggest a third mode that keeps the 3d boxes and the front and side, but disables loading the back cover and the flipping of the box. I'd assume (maybe incorrectly?) that this would allow for double the amount of games?

afaik, there were issues with the menu corrupting when using rev 9, but everything was fixed when using rev 10. I know about the other memory/programming corruption, but I just wanted to be sure the cios wouldn't affect it again before I install rev 12.

 

[mooseknuckle2000]

pointer corruption is fixed in RC5, but I have major corruption and snow all over the screen with this version (appeared after about 10 seconds of scrolling), while in 3d cover mode.

since RC4 I have problems with this loader, let me show you what I get (in RC5) when I turn on 3D:

 

[TheOnlyOneHeFear]

Awesome stuff! I'll try out RC5 tonight when I get back from work, the 3D cover mode looks nice

Might help some people to read

Have the same issue here.

In addition, I'm really missing the simple information of the available space remaining on the WBFS partition. That feature was included in Wanikoko's original loader but it's absent here (or at least I can't find it anywhere). Hope to see it in the next release.

Keep up the great work.

 

[NyNe]

sorry for the double post, but this is unrelated to my last post

i personally find the 'manual covers' method to be much more reliable
and for those curious, a complete manual setup with all the covers/disks/3dcovers takes up about 320 mb on the sd card (if you have a 1 gig or more this should not be a problem)

 

[calisto]

Works fine her m8, on 2d & 3d covers, just one thing, it did not download some covers, e.g The Simpsons, Ice Age 2, Wii Music & Punch Out & a few others.

Lovely Loader though, keep up the good work

I truly love the 3D covers but unfortunately I'm having a lot of problems since RC4 (just around 30 games installed)

RC4 was very unstable, often crashing (back to HBC, no codedumps) during loading. Moving the wiimote during loading (up to the point where all covers are fully loaded) seems to make it worse.

Now with RC5 I still get random crashes and I've also had the 'snow patterns'. Never had those until this release.

2D covers is working fine, I haven't tested downloading of covers.

Hope you guys can fix the problems, when it's working it's very nice to use.

I had the opposite of most people, snow on 2d, fine on 3d.

 

[hartleyshc]

the snow only happens for me when I update the covers. 2d or 3d. restarting fixes it and don't get it again until I update the images again.

 

[Pegasos123]

the only problem is ....when 3D covers are activated ....the framerate seems to slow down sometimes because the loader loads the covers

...

 

[lostdwarf]

love the loader its the best, but still some small issues as have been mentioned.

only 'problems' i have are:

1. i get white snow on my screen with black background but not with white.

2. cant get the cover for Guitar Hero World Tour

3. cant get the cover for Ghost Squad

but really, this is fantastic. i love it. it works. it looks great. nuf sed.x
