I apologize if this has been asked before, but would it be feasible to implement an option to allow filtering of Snes VC games and possible forced stretching to remove the black borders? Unfiltered pixels hurt my eyes on HD screens. A simple bilinear filter would suffice.

Alright guys. I made a few changes in the last commit. This could affect the game launch compatibility by quite a bit. Can you guys run some tests on different titles and report back what is broken and what is fixed?
These changes should improve the compatibility as they avoid a possible DBAT conflict within the game but it could break some things too.

I also added support for ID4 folder names for VC titles as requested on here.

Here is the commit i am talking about with the list of chane:

I'm getting
Code:
Error Code 112-1209
-----
Unable to load file.
on 5.5.1.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------


NVM I got it to work. My SD wasn't formatted to Fat32.

that's odd. when my sd card wasn't formatted to fat32, no games appeared in the carousel.

Anyone else having the issue when loading a game where loadiine says "loading game..." then closes out? I'm unsure if this is an issue using one of the nightly builds (Loadiine-nightly-888710c released about 4hrs ago and 5.5.1)

This thread is way too long to search and I need to leave. It took bit to dig out the glm and curl bit out of this thread, but now I'm stuck on the final linking part when building the latest tree. Any help here?

linking ... loadiine_gx2.elf

EDIT: @dimok I ran the latest devkitPro updater just in case, but it didn't find the need to update anything. Do you have an idea what my glitch might be?

I have added the ability to turn off the game background when a game is selected. I have also added the ability to turn off the floating particles. This can be of great use for those who wish to theme their launcher.

Working on the music selector next among a few other features I haven't said anything about.

Maybe this is off-topic but I have several questions about Loadiine future...

Someday it will have Online?
Someday it will load from USB?
Someday the loader will be "offline loading" instead of local servers?
and lastly, someday it will be able to use updates and saves from Wii U? Importantly... having access to the SD CARD?

Edit: In other words, like the Wii

I feel that it can give more than the current ways we have. I know, is barely starting the scene but yea

I think the elf needs to be the same name as the folder (not sure, I just read that in another post, and it's what I do anyways).

so like, you could do wiiu/apps/loadiine_nightly/loadiine_nightly.elf

I do not know the character limit for folder/elf, but should be fine.

Yes you can.
Just be sure that the .ELF file has the EXACT same name as the folder it is in.
i.e. loadiine_test.elf inside a folder called loadiine_test.
The icon.png and meta.xml do not require any changes.

Assassin Creed 3 works with this release.
Thanks. This is actually good. It was broken for a while now.
@dimok The lasts commits broken pikmin 3 with last version!

Edited, i only have used smash mode with mario kart 8, and when used this mode, i dont need to close miimaker and open smash disk, it go directly to mario kart 8, this change now? We need close miimaker and launch smash disk?

Thanks!
You are right. Pikmin 3 doesnt work anymore but I checked the builds before this commit and it was broken in them too. We will have to look which build broke it actually to find the issue. Do you know which build it worked on the last time? The smash bros mode was always like that yes. It starts to happen when you install updates usually.

Get the libogc and portlibs from the release page and replace yours.
