Man am I all confused now. Could someone just post a link (not a link to a post) to get this modified USB Loader. That would be very helpful.

So this SourceforWad.dol file I put into the usbloader file. It will then load whatever bg.png is in the images folder?

Also... is it a standard loader or a Force NTSC (Which I really want)?

Change the SoureforWad.dol file to boot.dol and place it in your usbloader folder then it should load whatever you have in the images folder.

As for the dol, not sure it is a FORCE NTSC dol, but any Pal games that I had that did not work with the original USB Loader, now work with this one.

that thing is as confusing as all hell but what if you want to create a channel wad?

I believe you would use the same SourceforWad.dol file because it returns you back to the system menu. If you use the one for the HBC, it exits to the HBC. They both would work I believe, but depending on which one you use is where you'll end up when you're done using the app.

Yes, the dol is a modded version of sorg's dol I believe. The WAD Channel name should be unique to any other. (I used WKUL = Waninkoko's USB Loader)

than on sd card i make a folder called app\usbloader\img\bg.png for background image
Yes

app\usbloader\images\ for covers (how can it tell what game cover is what though?
The cover image should be the same letters as your game's ID. in all CAPS. (Example: RZZE8P.png = Cover for MadWorld)
