Hiya, firstly let me say thanks.....wicked

I Have one small problem with the coverfloader channel. It either freezez the wii, does a data dump or returns to the Wii menu.

Coverfloader works brilliantly through the homebrew channel but wont work through the channel loader....any ideas??

Wonderful job guys... a BIG thank to all of the developers...

I spent a couple of hours in testing the new 1.1 version...

I like so much that applying the 3D covers setting the games having the full cover image are given as a 3D fat box, while the ones having just the 2D cover are given as a flat 2D box...

I found a couple of things which could be interesting to the developers:

Re the new forwarder (version 1.1), sometimes it loads the app, sometimes the screen get black and the Wii freezed, a couple of time I had an exception with code dump

Re the app:
- a couple of time it freezed when I tried to change the cover setting from 2D to 3D (as the first settings change)
- I have been able to change the cover setting from 2D to 3D by previously changing the language used by the loader (I have been able to do it 2 times)
- I used the bottom-right button (no disc present in the Wii), the window asking for saving a new game appeared, after I pressed cancel the loader freezed (I replicated this 3 times)

Thanks a lot again...

New forwarder? I compared the one in 1.0 and the one in 1.1 archive and they are both the same. Where can you get 1.1 forwarder please.

You are right...
in the 1.0 distribution the file is named "CoverFloader1.0-Forwarder.wad" while in the 1.1 distribution it is "CoverFloader-Forwarder.wad"
I assumed they to be different since the name change, but actually they both have been made on July 7, 2009, 22:49....
Yes, the forwarder seems not to be updated....

Ah that's good thought I was going nuts

It only forwards to the dol, so even a fowarder made a month or more ago will work. so forwarder date or rev number doesnt mean anything and wont cause probs, if you are having probs then its the .dol

The problem is that the CoverFloader from HBC starts 100% of the time, while the forwarder loads it only at 40%...
There is a bug in the forwarder which we are waiting to be fixed from the 1.0 version...

Hmm. The forwarder has ALWAYS loaded CoverFloader 1.0 for me. Are you talking purely about a problem with the forwarder launching 1.1? I must admit I've only launched it once since updating to 1.1 but it launched first time for me then.

I searched and couldn't find an answer but I'm sure it's probably been asked >_<

I can't seem to get CoverFloader to read my copy of SSBB. It's worked for all my other games but when I try with Smash Bros it says 'Could not open Disc'. Is this because it's a Dual Layer disc as I thought?

Hi Logan,
I had exactly the same problem also with 1.0.... I have read (I do not remember in which thread, this one or the italian one) that maybe it is a problem related with the presence of the nunchuck...
The forwarder works with the nunchuck unplugged and may fail if the nunchuck is plugged... I have just read this, I do not know if it is the real reason...

Already on the GoogleCode site, but 1.1 doesn't download 3D covers. Haven't tried 2D covers yet.

This is possible with recent svn builds. I changed the dependencies so that you can turn cheats on without having a txt file present. That's what you need.
