Hacking Coverflow demo

[Benjay]

there is no disc image in this loader.

and the folder you are talking about already exist.

Look in SD:/wiiflow/boxcovers , and SD:/wiiflow/covers
if you don't find them , create them and put your fullcovers in boxcovers folder, and flatcovers in covers folder.
They will appear in wiiflow then.

I think he cut-and-paste his message into all the loader threads, without bothering to realize this loader doesn't even use discs

I'm pretty sure he's trying to get every loader to use the same three folders on the sd card, so we don't have to have duplicate folders of the same images for each loader. For example, I have to use a folder called 3dcovers to store full box art for Beardface's CoverFloader, even though I can't get any of them to show up to save my life. If we could change the folder paths, each loader could point to the same folder, which isn't a terrible idea. Personally, I have a 16gb sd, and don't really care about using a few extra mb. I think it would be more worthwhile for each loader to support loading images from a FAT32 partition instead.

 

[Benjay]

yes , and i agree with you DSfanatic , even on a 2Gb card , it's really hard to fill it full.
Each loader his paths is better i think

Yes, you are very right... I am testing various loaders in my sd and any loader uses his own directories, so I have the sd full of replicated covers...
I supposed this to be a little bit stupid, but of course this is just my personal idea....
Config loader and GX loader already give the chance to change the cover paths, I was wondering whether wiiflow and coverfloader could have been improved in the same way...
I do not think that sharing hints is so bad...
Sorry if I have bothered you...

 

[Benjay]

no no you didn't bother us !!!
Everyone is free to talk here

Hiberns is actually working on a new revision , and we will see what happen about covers download.
For the moment , the only thing to do is wait .

I'm sorry, you didn't bother me at all

. Your idea is valid, and I do realize the option has been integrated into USB Loader GX. It does seem kind of overkill to have the same images duplicated all over your sd card. However, sometimes bugs can occur with new revisions on some loaders, and the best fix is to delete all the covers and re-download them. This might cause issues between loaders if they all share the same image folder. Just a thought.

Most of the loaders use different cover dimensions anyway.
I think this is correct
Wiifloader - flat 160*224
GX- 3d 160*224
Wiiflow - Full boxart 324*520 (or something close to this)
Configurable USB - flat 160*225
The only thing I found in common with some of the loaders is the disk art.

And as mentioned it is hard to fill the SD, I have 3 loaders and tons of Wii ware, a couple of emulators and I only have a about 1.3GB, used.

 

[reddevilmeuk]

as i posted before has anyone tried the NTSC Wii Fit with the latest build version? my copy just green screens

Let me provide my data...
I have 7 loaders installed and working in my wii: Waninkoko 1.5, Brisma, Ultimate 7, GX, Config, CoverFloader, WiiFlow.
This are the covers I checked they can use:

Waninkoko, Brisma, Ultimate: they use just flat covers, they are made for 2d 160x225 covers but works also with 160x224
GX: discart 160x160, 3d 176x248, 2d 160x224
Config: discart 160x160, 3d 176x248, 2d 160x225 or 160x224 (made for 160x225, works well with 160x224)
CoverFloader: discart 160x160, fullcovers 512x340, 2d 160x225 or 160x224
WiiFlow: 2d 160x225 or 160x224, it did not downloaded fullcovers and discarts

As a consequence, the dimensions are actually similar, they all works for example with:
discart 160x160, 3d 176x248, 2d 160x224, fullcovers 512x340

 

[Joshwraith]

But the original idea of usb loader is to load the game, I don´t know the benefits to have a lot of usbloader? I know some are cool than other but I think one or two loaders will do the work (load the game).

My selection Usbloader GX and Wiiflow, Wiiflow is the one I used everyday.. and usbloader GX for the games with problems.

 

[shadow_14]

would it be possible to add this fix to the loader?

Spoiler

rmode = VIDEO_GetPreferredMode(NULL);

//removes the border
rmode->viXOrigin = 0;
rmode->viWidth = 720;

VIDEO_Configure(rmode);

speaking of adding fixes, can i take this opportunity to request for the anti-002 fix just like in coverfloader and usbloader-gx? hope hibern notice this

hibern stated that he was not going to implement this, he hasnt got time to work on the coder. He was going to release the next stable release along with the source code at some point.

Hasn't he written he will not implement it, until rev14 is out? Maybe rev14 fixes it by default, so it isn't needed.

 

[lajd]

oh ok, thanks for the heads up.

It is implemented! Get the latest version.

@ maddoc oh no it isnt !
002 fix = yes
002 anti fix = no

@ lajd BTW the great WiiPower released the anti 002 fix , for everyone that doesnt have cIOS 13a ( which doesnt need it ) therefore going back to what was said Hibern isnt likely to implement this as its not needed

 

[Kiljaeden]

Just wanted to say good work for a nice looking loader. I haven't managed to use it yet, but the channels and videos look great. Keep up the good work!

Also, what is the recommended IOS revision before rev14? 13a with 002 error fix on?
