There are not extra parameters when you choose ConfUsbLoader.dol as loader

... could it be something wrong with Crap

?

Well it's normal, it's a standalone loader (actually exact copy of cfg usb loader) not a forwarder... You should use a forwarder.
I've seached for some CFG forwarder the last week, but I didn't find anything on the web

... some clue?

I just tried using crap to run a game off SD, works perfectly.

1) Open Crap
2) Select your ISO/WBFS file
3) Select loader: Configurable forwarder (no intro)
4) Select game partition: FAT1
5) Extra parameters: double-click "device=sdhc"
6) Create channel
7) Install WAD to Wii
8) Ensure following are located on SD root:

apps/USBLoader_cfg/boot.dol
usb-loader/
wbfs/

when i start crap for the first time it says it cannot create common key and i have put all the common keys i know in its folder... what gives?

Then put it somewhere where it has write access and hence create the common-key file... I guess you are using either Win7 or Vista....

WiiCrazy,

Thanks for all your hard work, this is awesome! I'm able to successfully create my channels forwarding to USB Loader GX, but whenever I click on a channel, I get a black screen and then the Wii screen comes up and takes me back to the home screen. Any ideas?

I'm trying to load off of a WBFS drive. My Wii is on 4.2u. Any other info you'd need let me know.

Thanks!

My guess would be that the usbloadergx's boot.dol isn't in the correct folder.

I actually saw that a couple of posts back and put that boot.dol in all kinds of folders and even created some and still no go.

Where exactly should that .dol be?

Could it be because I have USB Loader GX as a channel as well? I don't think that would make a difference. I don't run USB Loader Gx from Homebrew so there's no directory in my SD/APPS. Could that be an issue?

Thanks for the reply.

Man, crap saved me, i had to update to cois rev20 to run most of the games and it my channels created with Cloader wouldn't work anymore.

But i have this question, how can i set the loading configuration of my games?? There are a couple PAL games on my drive that i need to force to NTSC to play, as well I'm from mexico, but i dont like the spanish language on my games, and i want to launch most games in english, so, any idea how can i achieve this???

Thanks in advance

Launch your favorite usb loader normally, forwarder or hbc, set everything you need for each game to work. When starting a game from a crap created forwarder all thing you will have set will be taken into consideration.

In the next version of Crap, will the forwarders created use nForwarder58 ??

I would like to reitterate my question
tongue.gif


I would also like to know if the forwarder will take into consideration arguments used in the meta.xml of the loader used.

If not, I make the suggestion.

I have the feeling that if I use cfgloader-222v5.1[38] + argument intro=0 (direct launching from channel) = very fast way to load a game.

Ok, looks like i wasnt clear enough

How do i set on any loader

1.- To Force NTSC
2.- To use only english

The only loader on which i see this is wable to set is in Yet another loader (can only set region force) and uloader 1.1 mod by sorg

So, any idea how to achieve this with crap, i dont see any tutorial around, neither any tip on this post

@bosman : it seems you need to create a forwarder for the game rather than using built-in loaders... you have four alternatives... wiiflow, uLoader, cfg usb loader, usb loader gx...
hello, i have the same problem of bosman with just dance 2 (can't open big file)
how can i get wiiflow in crap ? i see it nowhere
thanks

for advanced use, employ configurable forwarder and supply extra arguments so that you can use different cios / language / video mode and so on... standalone loaders are outdated...

again up to date loaders are able to launch just dance 2... (wiiflow, uLoader & configurable forwarders will work)

for the forwarders to work you need to have the actual loader setup in you sd or hdd...

for the latest forwarders (uLoader & wiiflow)

  • 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.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    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)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too

    yes looks like an faulty sd
