Hacking Cover Flow USB ISO Loader by Beardface

[wuher69]

I would like to get a microphone working. From reading this thread it looks like I need cIOS38 rev13a. I don't know a whole lot about cIOS. When I set up my Wii for USB loader, I installed cios36 rev10. Now do I have to do anything about that before I can put on cIOS38 rev13a, or will it just overwrite and/or co-exist? Also that part mentioned about about having to always use the same port for the USB drive, does that only apply to cIOS38 rev13b or does it apply to other ones as well?

Thanks, sorry if these are basic questions

Could someone upload the latest revision or just PM me the dol? I'm eager to get the latest. Much appreciated!

+1 would love to try out the new stuff which was added since rc6

Has anything noteworthy been added? Or are you just one of them guys that likes to have everything extremely current? Just curious what's actually been changed and too lazy to read the technical update notes on the googlecode page.

I use this loader and CIOS rev12. Microphone works great. People complain about rev12 claiming it has slower loading times but they aren't significant in my opinion. Besides, it's a price I'm willing to pay for a working mic.

There have been over 100 revisions since RC6. Of course there are noteworthy additions. If you're too lazy to read the changelog well then thats too bad isn't it? I'm not going to post it for you.

Well right on. Damn my naivety. My noob ass was thinking a cvs changelog would be filled with little change regardless of how minuscule. However, after looking over it though, my mistake is obvious. Had I known such noteworthy things as 'bit of cleanup for new graphic settings' could be found by just clicking the changes tab -- my god I would never have posted. Clearly I should've just taken the time to read the lines one by one. Only now after posting and making a complete fool of myself do I see how it easy it is to see all the amazing, and quite possibly, "game changing" updates. I'm sure the Wii homebrew scene will be turned on it's head after the next release.

Thanks for the invaluable tip.

edit: holy shit guys, Matt, I'm sure your aware. But if you do manage to grab a copy of the -current, they added '3 is better than 5 happyface.' Maaan o maaan. NOTEWORTHY son. NOTEWORTHY.

 

[Matt93]

Haha.

Seriously made my day!

Hmm so 12 is ok? And as far as loading the CIOS, does it just overwrite the other one? Co-exist? I don't need to uninstall anything, right?

 

[Ossot]

it'll over-write whatever you currently have installed as 249. Be it older or newer.

Built-in cheat manager... is that noteworthy?
and FYI, 3 IS better than 5

 

[Ossot]

I wasn't insinuating the updates wouldn't be good, or have some nice changes. Nor was I insulting the update notes in the log. It was just the fact I simply asked if there were any highlights and the guy responded like a complete ass; instead of just admitting he had no clue what any real changes were either.

My sarcastic laid reply wasn't to demean the work of the devs or the application. Just to illustrate that his response made him a complete douchebag.

 

[Matt93]

Um...yeah about that, you actually were exactly insinuating the updates weren't good. Take a look at your rant. That was the whole point. Lol, I'm a douchebag? Thanks. How about you go and take a look at what caused that response.

Just curious what's actually been changed and too lazy to read the technical update notes on the googlecode page.

If you're too lazy to pull up a changelog, then no one is going to pull it up and copy it over here for you. And you assume because I don't tell you, that I don't know what the changes were. Sorry bud, but that's not the case. I've been following this ever since its early development. Why do you expect me to get that info for you if you're too lazy to go look at a changelog yourself? Think about that.

any idea when RC7 will be released? my request to add HDD info and amount of games installed have been implemented, so I'd like to know when I can use it

 

[orangejon]

Just a quick question. Is it possible to have 2 HDD's running at the same time? I'm worried I'm gonna fill my 750GB one pretty quick and would love it if I could just plug another one in next to it (that I already own) rather than having to buy a new larger one.

Out of context, but 750GB filled with games? Thats roughly 150 games.....

 

[Ossot]

Ya, if you fill even a 250gb hard drive you're doing it on purpose. And by that I mean you're downloading every random piece of crap game just because you can. I love my Wii, and I don't own another console, but there seriously aren't even 30 GOOD Wii games. And that's not even going to take 100gb.

 

[dbest]

Yeah, am new to the Wii scene, but I have not seen that many games released for it. And among those released, I would play a handful few. I am currently having a hard time filling my 350 GB HDD.

 

[RolloS60]

With r662 CoverFloader can load new games (like Indiana Jones, MySims Racing, Punch-out, GBusters) with cIOS rev10.
(Thanks to WiiPower)

 

[dbest]

Where can be get this?

The last version on the google pages site is RC6

 

[Ossot]

See, now THAT'S a highlight. Not a minor bug fix that 99.99% of people will never notice. Thanks for the heads up.

 

[beelzebul]

someone wanna compile r662 for me and throw a link in a pm thanks in advance _o_
