Hacking Crap, easy to use channel creator

[scrotty]

thx, specifically which one from here are u using?

Crap2.5bHotfix-1.rar??

(or just CrapV2.5b.rar??)

Just the standard CrapV2.5b.rar

 

[XFlak]

the best working revision of CRAP as at Jan 8 2010
DOWNLOAD IT HERE

it is crapv2.5b with hotfix 1
it includes wichoxp's CrapTriiforce mod v2.3 for new cIOS199
it also has oggzee's wbfs_file v2.6

I'm sure WiiCrazy will release an updated version that will blow this bundle away, but until then, this beats the broken v2.6b

 

[wichoxp]

Wow!... your custom bundle looks perfect

!...

Oh! that reminds me something:
@WiiCrazy: is it possible to add on the next Crap version the "CrapTriiforce improvement" that we talked some weeks ago?
QUOTE(wichoxp @ Dec 7 2009, 12:05 AM) Hi WiiCrazy

!

Is there a way to add forwarding features to current CrapTriiforce loader?... I mean:

1. Install a forwarder VC or WiiWare channel.
2. The installed forwarder channel looks for craptriiforce's boot.dol file in a specific folder (sd:\folder\boot.dol).
3. The boot.dol file in that folder gets the GAMEID from the installed forwarder channel.
4. VC/WiiWare Game starts.

That would be great for a quick craptriiforce's boot.dol file updating (useful when a new version arrives) and, the most important, you will not need to make a new forwarder channel (because of Triiforce's updates) again

!

See ya!

I hope this can be done soon

!

See ya!

thanks!!

Well... time... time is just slipping out of my hands... normally today and next day (Fri-Sat) was my off day but we are forced to work... and due to other circumstances I need to delay these tiny pieces of improvements...

sorry...

 

[XFlak]

dont apologize man, thanks for letting us know you're still working on it

Played all night with configuring NTFS support of CFG Loader started via a CRAP made channel... no success.
Loading from WBFS partition works fine. I didn't test fat partition but I believe it's also fine.
For NTFS I tried extra parameters partition=NTFS1 with no success - it doesn't overwrite the CRAP's option of choosing the partition, which is only WBFS or FAT at the moment.

Who managed to utilize NTFS support of CFG Loader?

@wiicrazy, do u think u can add forwarder ISO creation to CRAP? I suspect it shouldn't be too hard...

recently I've made a triiforce forwarder channel, extracted the dol, and replaced a base ISO's main.dol with it. I added it to my fat32 hard drive (as .wbfs format) and launched it in configurable usb loader and it worked flawlessly.

it would be awesome if u could make 3 kinds of forwarder iso's, wiiware/vc triiforce forwarders (from wads), Channel Forwarders (ie. homebrew channel, or w/e), and SD/USB forwarder channels (ie. launch SD or USB:/apps/neogamma

what do you think?

Well in it's current form Crap is enough complex for both me and the end user. But a separate application can be made... All the goodies required for this application is available. There is already a forwarder channel creator (CustomizeMii) by the way. At the time I can't work on such a thing, it catches poppularity I'm sure someone will come up with an application though.

The only way that works with my NTFS partition is to use "Conf. Usb Loader Direct". It started working after replacing the packaged ConfUsbLoader.dol with a new one from CFG Loader v50c.

It loads a game ignoring settings of theme and loader's colors are strange... but it works

The problem is with a size of such channels because they are large.
@WiiCrazy, do I understand it right that the options "Conf. Usb Loader Direct" means the whole loader is injected into a channel?

this tool is really cool, the only problem is that it crashes when i click on create channel.

here is the dump

do i need to run it as a superuser?

@WiiCrazy, do I understand it right that the options "Conf. Usb Loader Direct" means the whole loader is injected into a channel?

I'm not WiiCrazy, but that is correct. If you want it to load Configurable USB Loader from the SD card, you need to use the forwarder, but it doesn't work with NTFS.

 

[atomikramp]

i'd like the channel to be standalone (not loading the dol from sd card) so the only chance is to use con direct?

Nopez... All the loaders in Crap which don't have "Forwarder" in their name are standalone loaders...

Of course they (not counting confg. direct) don't support FAT32 | NTFS...

Is there a way to fix such a behavior of forwarding versions of CFG Loaders in CRAP?

Whom should I ask for enabling support of NTFS there?

There is no way to fix the issue in Crap (at least I don't know)
Oggzee will take a look in the issue...

 

[WiiCrazy]

Could someone who tested partition=NTFS1 extra parameter not working before make a test for me and test the extra parameters feature with other arguments if it's indeed working... So that we can narrow down the problem onto either Crap or Cfg. Usb Loader

Of course you should use something else than NTFS, FAT32 or WBFS

it can be easily tested with a Multilanguage game and the language argument...

language=french (see if the game boots using French language)

ps: You can use test feature, no need to install the created wads....

 

[oggzee]

Or use debug=1 that should be the easiest way to test if the option is passed...

 

[the]

Ok, i will try to play with other options like the language keeping the debug enabled

But what kind of CFG Loader is supposed to be tested with CRAP on that way? the standalone one?

I suspect the problem is with the cfg forwarder, so that should be tested... (or both)
