The images directory structure is:

:\usb-loader\titles.txt

BTW....

I hope you solved your problem seeing as you were using the wrong number in the image resizer.

Does this need to be set-up manually or does it automatically set up with the cover download feature?
Do the disc images download or do they need to be manually added to the directory?

All directories and files are created by the loader if they are not already present.
Disc images download at the same time as covers.
Hope this answers your question.

Why integrate a cheat manager? It is just making gaming for all other people less fun.
Only online cheating is a problem & that's down to everyone's conscience (or lack thereof)
There are other cheat mangers around, have been for a while. This is just a more elegant solution.
In my opinion, online cheaters are sad little creatures, like script-kiddies on IM.... They should all be banned.
If I figure out a way to block network access when cheats are on then I'll do it in a flash

I didnt knew that this can be used for offline gaming, i never tried a manager my self.

- I totally agree with you about the online cheaters.
They are sad creatures who just wants some confidence by winning with an alternative way like cheating
They should all be banned for sure.
I've never used an online cheat code but as I get older I find I need to give myself a bit of extra ammo and health here and there just so I can play my games for more than 5 minutes

EDIT: Good News! I figured out how to stop games going online if cheats are enabled. This loader should now be "cheat friendly". Not fully tested yet but it looks good so far.

Sounds awsome dude, thats some great news indeed

They are getting banned. A friend of mine was running a modified Mario Kart and he can't enter the Online since march. It's not his ip since I can connect using my machine I think they blocked his mac adress.

They can't do it with this loader now anyway. I'VE banned them!


Sweet! I hate those online cheaters...

RC7 is freekin awesome! I like how starts zooming. and all games work now, this is THE BEST LOADER BY FAR!!

i must say i love the 3 loaders : UsbLoader_Gx ; WiiFlow ; CoverFloader ....wish that could be a way of having all of their functions in just one apps... THAT idea working ....yes, would be a big thing...i think it would be big than the most functions each one have.... the ideia of putting various teams working and showing only a piece of work, well functioning, the options in the best place, etc...this would be awesome.


ur link to ur "usbloader_gx forwarder" doesnt work....

One last question about the cheat manager
Is there away to get it to open the .gct file

as i can not see what my kids have turned off or on

like add a button to open/load the .gtc file from the memory card
or a auto-load of the .gct file when i click on manage

and away to remove\delete it via the loader (with out putting mem card in my pc)

Just one little thing i found, 2 actually but only one is relevant to the actual coverfloader code, i think. It thinks that mercury meltdown revolution is called ninjabread man. at first i thought this was an easter egg or something, but then i realized it was a real game. second, there is no cover for need for speed undercover. Also, when i change the game names in wbfs manager they dont change in the coverfloader on the wii side. i once pressed download titles but that was a mistake i think. where can i find this to delete it and manually change the names? Could this be included in an update? The name changing, i mean.

Names are changed if you have Games List.txt or downloaded it from the coverfloader, i dont use it, i deleted it of my sd card, it changed names and covers wrongly, so i name them myself with wbfs manager

Hmm.. I think I said before (somewhere) that I might change the manager so that it "remembers" what cheats you last selected. I'm just not convinced it's worthwhile. I definitely won't make it parse the gct back though because that is a real PITA.

But really, if you look at the other cheat management tools out there, they don't do this either.

ok mate cool thanks for all the replys (sorry what does PITA mean)

& what about removing the .gct file with the loader gui

remove titles.txt from the usb-loader/ folder in the sd card

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.

    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
