Okay... I've read almost every page on the other thread, but this is gonna make me sound like a total n00b...

What exactly is a "forwarder", and how do you use it?

It is a channel but is forward to you app\usbloader\boot.dol. If a new version of the boot.dol cames out you just replace it and do not have to uninstall this channel.

I see, so if there is no SD card it won't load anything?
And this forwarder is in WAD format so I just install it with the WAD Manager normally?

...couldn't we run WiiWare and VC games like this on 3.2 from an SD Card? lol

WiiWare and VC games are WADs, not DOLs. This wouldn't work the same way, if at all!

I've seen MANY people ask this same question, yet no one has answered it, so here I go asking it too.


Has anyone successfully make a WAD out of this? I tried, I got a code dump. If you have, which Dol did you use? I tried the one that said it was for a wad.

you cannot make a WAD of a Image Cover USB Loader because the code tells it to look for images in the same folder! If you install it as a WAD then it will point to a location on the wii system memory and therefor fail to load the images

Best way would be to modify the code to look off the SD card rather than its own directory

put in apps folder, not app, hbc wont recognize app folder.

question here

this is where i am now.

apps\usbloader\images

i got my background showing up, i have a noimage.png and blank.png in my images folder as well as all the covers as well

everything shows up but the game covers, is there a reason they arent showing up?

i tried both the forward channel and the dol in hbc, same results

thats how it should be right?

apps\usbloader\images with only images folder and dol in usbloader folder?

i just dont get why its not showing up

    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
