anyone got the themes to work yet?

Yes, me.
Why would it only work here?
Go to the settings, page 5 (where you can install a game)

that's exactly how mine is set up.
but when i go to the settings, the theme option is just blank.
do you need to have more than 1 theme?
does it work with cios rev12?

Hi,
Thanks for the update. Tested and I also get the 02 error even with the fix turned on. Launch 3.2e with 13a.

 

[BlindDude]

hi Hibern, thanks for the new release....

what happened to the option 1 and 2, to switch view?

you can still have 2 views,, its just not predefined now.. 1 and 2 are exactally the same, so go into adjust coverflow and make a design for view 2.

Edit) I forgot to thank Hibernatus.. Nice work!

Would there be any chance of a quick update to fix the 002 error we are having? most people now days are on cios rev 13a to get the newest games to work,, Until 14 comes out.
Im sure if you go into the usb loader gx IRC channel, they can provide you with some quick info on the matter....

Thank you again.

Benjay: i'm not a student, i have a work, but it does take me much time indeed, especially when i'm sent to another city for the week!

oups !!! i'm really sorry , i thought you were still a student ^^
But it's the same : your job is much more important

I'd like to thank you for adding the possibility to change transparency and colors of side covers , it's better this way and makes it compatible with any background

setting 00 to the end of color for titles does not work , i've tried it the beta1 and i still could see the titles.
So i used a trick : i set an "empty" font as cffont , and that's ok.

there's only one thing i find not good : moving data to sd:/wiiflow instead of sd:/apps/wiiflow......
Because i've spent a whole day trying to make a forwarder , i've asked help , and now i'll have to do it again ^^

thx for all this good job

Will test it in a few days when i have free time too (job takes much time........)

Thanks for the great update! Everything seems to work great, and the covers load much faster now. I was afraid this new version might reintroduce the bug I got last time, where it would kick me out to HBC, but everything is perfect.

To save time downloading the covers and tweaking the graphics again, I tried renaming the old usb-loader folder to wiiflow, but all the images were distorted (snowy). Could've been my old settings were incompatible. Either way, I downloaded everything fresh and manually changed my settings back, and it works like a dream.

(EDIT)

I spent a little more time with beta2, and I have a bug. When I make adjustments to the coverflow (camera, angle, etc.), and save to exit back to the loader, it freezes for a moment before it snaps to the new configuration. I can then use my new adjustments, switching between them with buttons 1 and 2. However, when I exit the loader and launch it again, all my settings are gone, and only the default configuration is displayed. I tested it twice, but it just won't save my settings. I went back to beta1 to test, and it works fine in beta1.

Another thing I noticed tonight were black bars on the sides of my 16:9 (480p) display, and I could've sworn they weren't there in beta1, but when I checked they were. I guess this loader doesn't fully support widescreen, which would explain why my covers are a little skinny. I adjusted the screen size in settings from 640x480 to 630x480 to remedy this. If full widescreen support were to be implemented, then this loader would be perfect. It's already a masterpiece, and thanks for all the hard work Hibern.

is there a way to get the white theme back working?

because since beta 2 there is the black theme as default ....i dont like it

but i can already say this is the best loader so far

 

[Hibern]

Oh, since the coverflow settings are saved in the theme's .ini file, and since there isn't any .ini file by default, it won't save your changes. In my mind this function only was a tool for theme makers (which explains why it is so ugly)
So i have to add a default theme.ini.
Has anyone been able to install several themes and switch between them? I find it very strange that nobody seems to get it work. At least try to force it by entering the name of the theme in loader.ini :
If you have SD:/wiiflow/themes/mytheme.ini

[GENERAL]
theme=MYTHEME

dsfanatic5 : you've had a private beta with a different cache format, which is why you had corrupted covers when you copy/pasted it.
How can i test error 002? Does it depend on what game i launch and on the cIOS version?

 

[cwstjdenobs]

Hi Hibern, thanks for the new beta. 002 fix doesn't work (well if it's WiiPowers fix). It depends on the game and cIOS revision, rev13b does it's own fix so it has to be a rev13a or under if you want to test it.

To test error 002 you can try loading either ghostbusters or india jones or my sims racing. with these games the loader currently gives a green screen and wont load the game.
I believe you need cios rev13a for these games to work with the 002 fix, the other problem rev13a gives with the loader though is it doesnt sync the wiimotes correctly.

It still should point to sd:/apps/wiiflow
it's only the data location he's changed (covers etc)

Madworld and NFSU are both 002 games as well.

that´s false... not every NFSU or madworld is a 002 game...

i have both and some other games that are 002 games for some people but i have no problems with any game..

i´m on rev10

Yes ^^ i just figured it out while reading Hibern previous post again.
thx.

 

[ganons]

woot i like it that he has a theme selector
i got black boarders on my tv

 

[Benjay]

i've them too , it's because 16/9 screen support is not implemented yet

First code dump for me with the beta2.
i get a code dump when i clik on quit button (to quit the loader) , after going into settings.

Some line of text are no more centered in buttons in the settings (like number of pages for example).
I could just change coordinates of the buttons but it will mess up the design (actually there is the same space between all buttons).

Some new translations are too long to fit into buttons (in french , "telechargements" for example , or "pochettes manquantes" , in download section , and many others).

And how to skin the new config section ? cause you didn't provide a new theme.ini and i don't know how you called this section (perhaps config4 but not sure) , and buttons that come with.

the rest seems to run fine

nice job.

PS : i can confirm what spayrosam told : just use lowercase in the theme names , and it will work

 

[Pegasos123]

i have a request ....maybe it is possible

i dont like the black theme ...but i like the white one because it is wiiish

but one thing i really like in the black theme are the buttons!
but i dont like the ones which are in the white theme

can somebody please make a white theme with the buttons of the
black theme?!?!

i would try it myself but i dont have the picture samples of the
black theme

Thats correct, madworld are NFSU are not 002b for everyone, madworld works fine in this loader for me.
The true 002b games at the moment for everyone are Ghostbusters and Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings.
Will be great when this loader is fixed by hibern, alot of the other loaders are having the same problem. Seems that only Loader GX is succesful with these games at the moment.
