Hacking Cover Flow USB ISO Loader by Beardface

[Rexel99]

Have you been to http://code.google.com/p/wiicoverflow/updates/list ?

Yes thanx, but it gives me the download (which I have) and lists the switchable/config options. It really doesn't add any more to what I am looking for doc wise. I guess with that wiki there is space, but little contributed.
Ocarina, still don't know what it is, or Video/VIDTV patching options do little fo rme so I don't what they are for either.

and btw i would like to see more 3d covers because:

120 games on hdd:
only 1 missing on 2d covers
up to 80 or 90 missing on 3d...

Ocarina lets you activate cheat codes (get codes from www.usbgecko.com/codes)

I agree. Tried tons of loaders, this is by far the best. I am curious, however, as to when a coder says they added a feature to Cover Flow. How do I get it? Someone was nice enough to add my request for Gamecube controller support, and I'm unsure of what they means. They added it, but how do I get this revised version?

I added the gamecube support, but only for selecting game and boot (and home menu). Adding support for the entire application is not on our priority list since the loader is done with wiimote in mind.
The adding for gamecube pad is just for booting games if you play often and don't want to swap controller (for example SSBM), but for managing application (install, settings and other) wiimote is mandatory.

It is enabled in developers build, but RC6 will be out today so you can play with it soon

I just got my softmod, is it safe to start using the RC6 as my USB loader?? or should a stick with previous version?

 

[Nullkill]

I Posted a link to RC6 on the main page.

Tons of new features; Works great for me, but some people have mentioned issues with booting some games with newer cIOS (rev 13b).

If you try it out; report issues to google code so we can resolve them prior to a 1.0 release.

Thanks!

i think the black and white themes buttons are reversed... the new graphics in the settings menus look beautiful but confused me a little.. if black is on then the theme buttons are reversed... if white is on then theme is good and all the rest of the buttons are reversed

it should just be changed to a switch instead of a button.
disregard what the text says, on buttons, black is the color of the button and white is the color of the button while pressed.
if its a switch, then black = on and white = off.

for the black theme, the "Black" button is pressed, hence making it look white.

I really didnt find it confusing, but I can see how it can.
Since we have only two choices, the options should be changed to a switch to support the rest of the "basic" options.

I was excited to try Rev6, but unfortunately I'm having the same issue that I had with Hibern's WiiFlow. If you check out my post, you'll see the post below mine had the same issue. Basically, I can only use the loader for about 5-10 seconds before it kicks me out to the HBC menu. I'm almost positive it's a result of having a very large amount of games on the drive. Hibern was able to fix the problem for me, so it might be worth asking him if the answer is elusive. I'm sure more people will post with this problem, unless there's a quick update. Right now Rev6 is completely unusable for me, but I'd be glad to lend a hand for testing if needed.

How many games, and what graphic format? (Does this happen in 2d mode?)

Around 180 games, and both graphic modes. In order for me to switch graphic modes, I have to use Rev5 to make the changes, because Rev6 will crash before I have a chance to enter the settings screen. I'm using cIOSrev10, and all previous versions worked fine. I seem to have unique issues with most of the new loaders, but I can also confirm that nothing is wrong with the soft modding to my Wii. Hibern's WiiFlow and this Coverfloader produced the same bug for me, and Titlemenu has major loading issues when I use any type of forwarder (only half the covers show up, the rest remain loading indefinitely, and games crash to black screen when loaded).

I appreciate all the work these guys are putting into these loaders, and by no means do I expect them to fix problems if I'm the only one. However, if my problem is because of the amount of games, then what seems like a perfect loader, could end up broken as people keep adding more games.

Could you try using a small usb pen drive with 2 games on it and see if it still crashes just to be able to rule that out ?

[mooseknuckle2000]

you can check here (where the loader d/l's them from) http://www.theotherzone.com/wii/
If they're not there, you can request art on the site. Alternatively, you can make your own until someone posts what you're looking for. I have some I just put "?" marks on the back of. Also, some sites like gamestop have both front and back cover art for some games.

how many RC's do you plan before you release 1.0 ?
