Since so many wanted Coverflow for the USB-Loader, I decided to make a Coverflow-Background:

Looks like a realy Coverflow, but it isn't

looks outstanding Blue please could you make a child proof .dol and release this as a .dol also please it looks superb best yet i think i would ask for a wad but i believe that is a sensitive matter....good work i would use the back ground but get no luck it crashes and pics appear in the wrong place it would be nice to see the disc case like in preview to view for games without a cover on SD card aswell and perhaps a little text saying Cover unavailable or cover to be updated soon etc etc thanks again Wiiv.
got a pic here but dont know how to upload it

Wiimonkey,

That is exactly what I was going to ask for. Looks great and will match my other sets. Can't wait to get home and try it out. I just hope that nIxx's Loader is a force NTSC.

Hi JussiPik,

I really love your background. I would like to customize it for my loader but i don't have knowledge in photoshop.

Would you mind customizing for me a little bit?

Change the console background from white to black
Remove the "language" from the d-pad icon
"Force NTSC" for button 1
"Language" for button 2

Thanks!

look great but if you had cover-flow do you really need the text box?? only for adding new games and such but that could be a pop up kind of ting right.
What I'm trying to get at is that the cover-flow for picking games should be the full screen and not in just the corner and the the console text box could be removed when you are just picking a game to play, and latter come up only if you need it, for ex. when adding/removing a game.
i know it's just concept but i think that would be awesome.

Aehm...

I can't code...this is just a background, that looks like you have Cover-Flow...nothing more...it won't work...just a simple pic...Oh, and this needs some fixes, sorry, saw it too late...I'm now too tired, maybe tomorrow...or check WiiShizzzas-Thread...there's a fully working one for his loader...and thanks that at all that likes it

i know that it's just a pic i just mean that that would be cool that if a real one was to be ever made. I wasn't trying to tell you to make it, just my idea of concept lol
sorry for making that unclear, but it looks great anyway

No USB loader forces NTSC. The only thing that works for me (spiderman 3 PAL) is wiipower mytoy8. Is someone can incorporate that with one off the box arts dol I will be a happy camper......

Update: Acctualy it is one but does not have the cover art USB-Loader_v1.1-NTSC480i.dol

Anyone taking requests for backgrounds?

I need something in 16:9

All the currents ones work but have black bars on both sides of the tv(42 Inch) and some text gets cut off on certain backgrounds.

Heres the ones i like

How do i figure that out?

basically the image needs to be bigger so it fills up the whole screen.is that possible? or is a size limit to the backgroun.png image?

UPDATED: here is nixx`s mod with forwarder wad all files are in the compressed archive, enjoy!!
Changed to USBLoaderModNixx with forwarder wad

Is not working. I get a code dump.

Could someone compile this into a Forced NTSC standard WAD... not a forwarder.

I got a question.If someone made a wad of that then you wouldnt need the sd card right? unless of course you wanted the images to show,but if you didnt have an sd card in you would just get the grey box correct?
