Hacking Easy USB Loader Custom Image

[MightyMouse]

you need a forwarder dude since it loads the .png from its local dir

if i get round to it i'll try and make it load from SD root so you can add it into a channel

but SpaceJumps or Joda's forwarder will work just fine.

 

[Bladexdsl]

how do you use the forwarder to make the loader with the custom image into a wad so i can install as a channel?

 

[bluebird12]

You can download one of SpaceJump's blank forwarders and edit that.

i cant i dont know how to edit it...

but your right it crashed with a wadder channel i just made

guess i will wait on this after all I have a good Force NTSC channel already maybe Wilsoff will make a forwarder for his animated one on waddder.net

EDIT i think i see what you mean i will test that!

 

[MightyMouse]

use this .dol with wadder 1.2 and make sure you put the .dol and .png in

http://www.mediafire.com/?nm3mndntwvz

/apps/USBLoader/ on your SD card

 

[bluebird12]

nevermind.

 

[vettacossx]

i used his forwarder dol with wadder 1.2 (the right one

) and it gives a crash still...I know its setup right it works from the homebrew channel i injected the forwader dol and placed the others in apps/USBloader as stated but you get a crash for the wad vs it loads fine in the HBC?! (ive made a ton of channels using icefires tools btw)

The U8Tool in this package fixed my batching problem, HowardC.

Is there no way to extract ONLY the opening.bnr from the hard drive?
I am better off extracting opening.bnr's manually using ftpii from disks than extracting the isos from the HD.

 

[MightyMouse]

do you get a code dump?

 

[vettacossx]

apps/ usb_loader

that one dont though

will post links and a vid when i can

still testing it just in case...

 

[MightyMouse]

lol, i must of got the dir wrong somewhere lol

yer post a video i wanna see my baby in action lol

 

[vettacossx]

yeah get this! the channel WORKS! ...AS LONG AS THE FILES ARE NOT PRESENT! how i know is the channel TOLD me to place apps/usb_loader/Boot.dol on my SD card and try again

so the forwarder channel is working..it even works with OTHER versions of the usb loader 1.1 dols but not this force ntsc one with your pic mod in it? i get a stack dump i can record it and show ya if you like it would only take me a sec...

as soon as i place the directory apps/usb_loader/Boot.dol (and background (png file) in the directory the channel does indeed try and load it but gives a stack dump each time

post a vid, I used to have problems with forwarders (not specifically for this dol) but for WiiPowers original NTSC-force. I then used a different forwarder instead and I don't get code-dumps anymore.

 

[vettacossx]

ok i recorded what its doing bro ill link you to the file

uploading will edit post:
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?ndezmtnjhlt
will have to extract it to see the whole shizzy and have a mpg codec to play the vid
download includes:
Dol fowarder dol file that was injected...wad i created that works

but not with this boot.dol in usb_loader directory containing boot.dol (blues) and a background png file for whatever reason idunno lol it give teh ole code dump does the PNG have to be a certain size?

...this DL includes all the files i used and a mpg vid in high quality so you can read the stack dump as well hope this helps a customizable fowarder arrise?! i will ask wilsoff about it on wadder.net he will know for shizzle

he makes sick animated forwarder channels with DejDynimite who would also know

everything in good time right?! no worries its fun to experiment

 

[bluebird12]

Vettacossx, see if this works.
Download this dol and use wadder to make a wad.
I know its a multi-forwader, meaning it forwards to 2 files but it worked for me. I think you are using the force-NTSC one i made. So stick that boot.dol (Mouse's first post) along with background.png in a folder called USB_Loader_NTSC. Load the channel and hold down (since ur using the force-ntsc). Tell me if it works.

http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=145...p;#entry1876046


Also: I'm not sure if background.png has to be certain size. All i did was find a background someone made on here, right click, and save as png

 

[vettacossx]

make a wad of Fowarder.dol or Multi Fowarder .dol?

 

[bluebird12]

Made a wad of the dol that is in the link i gave you. Then place the file you got from here along with background.png in USB_Loader_NTSC folder in apps. When loading the channel, hold down.


Whoops: Yea, make a wad of multi-forwarder. (the 2 files are the same actually).

 

[vettacossx]

there are 2 dol files though bro...one just Forwarder the other multi forwarder NEVERMIND it was WINZIP showing the one in source as well sorry about that

ok tried that HELD DOWN THIS TIME and this one just code dumped is it the pic? 640 x 480 named background... can you post the wad and apps folder you used please?

I mean it works on the homebrew channel so the directory was setup right...

Stack Dump:
88a178eo --> 88a178e0 -->88a4011c

Code Dump:
88a178e0: 839b0000 3880002f 7f83E378 4bff4165
88a178f0: 7f84E378 3Ba30001 3B810008 7CA4E850
88a17900: 7f83E378 4BFF3FDD 801b0000 7f83E378

those are the hex values it dumped bro...

I'm in the same boat. I'm using loopguy's forwarder for my WAD. (apps/usb_loader) I renamed the dol file from the first post to boot.dol and my background.png. It works fine in the HBC, but I get a code dump with the forwarder WAD.

 

[MightyMouse]

hmmm....am looking into this at the moment

but the app clearly works from the hbc so maybe we need to compile a new forwarder.

will report back

p.s. bluebird12 any ideas dude
