Hacking Loadstructor

[Fat Cow]

when using "add from wbfs" option, does it dump the iso from wbfs drive first or does it read the banner directly off wbfs drive?

Just read the banner directly.

Thanks, now I'll remake all my channels with cloader version

Cluster,

I did try to build a cLoader which uses 222 but not successful so far. I looked in the source (usb-loader.c) and found the global variable "USBIOS". When I force this variable to 222 and build a channel using the newly built version of cLoader.dol, the loader would not recognize the wbfs drive. Do you have any idea what's going on? Any hint would be appreciated.

cLoader 1.3 released!
Ocarina bug fixed, it's really working now. Put your codes in /codes/ folder.
Download link for Loadstructor with new cLoader: http://clusterrr.com/dump/soft/Loadstructo...cLoader-1.3.zip

I see that this new version creates larger wad sizes, why is that? thanks

Maybe Most likely because the cLoader.dol is bigger. Thanks for the new Version, Cluster. I'll check it soon (those are many WAD's to replace).

Created new wads and they are indeed 45 KB bigger.

This has to do with a bug in cIOS249 rev 13, not with the loader. I'm working on modifying cLoader to use 222, which does not have this issue.

I took Cluster's Loadstructor 1.4 with cLoader 1.3 and made some mods:

* cLoader can use cIOS222/223/249
* Handle Anti_002_fix
* Handle Country_Patch
* Create region-free wad

I left the original cLoader intact, and added a second one called cLoader_cios.dol (second item on the GUI named "cLoader cIOS mload")
I've only tested this sw on a few games. For those who are interested, please try out and let me know
if it works or not.

To use 222/223, you'll need to download and install Hermes' cIOS/mload: http://www.elotrolado.net/hilo_utilidad-ul...-idioma_1217626
Narolez alslo made an offline installer for MLOAD IOS 202/222/223: http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=157...t&p=2004652

Thanks to Cluster for writing and sharing this tool.
Thanks to oggzee who provided the source to the Configurable USB Loader, from which I gathered the needed code for the mentioned changes.

Thanks, wiiNinja! I've been hoping for this. I'll test and report back.

Is there something else I have to do to tell it to use 222?

I selected cLoader cIOS mload as the Loader to use. The channel created fine (I am making a channel for Wii Fit), but when I run it can't find the hard drive (ERROR: Could not initialize SD/USB subsystem! (ret = -6))). This indicates to me that it is using something other than cIOS 222.

I noticed in the loaders.ini file it has CIOSSelectSupport = 1 for this loader, but I don't see anywhere in the GUI to select it...

Have you install Hermes' 222 ?

 

[Linuks]

It works great for me, using the latest IOS22 without IOS 249.
Just use the "cIOS mload" version of cLoader.

I modded Cluster's Loadstructor to allow cLoader to use cIOS222/223: http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=167018

I need some testers to verify that it works on more games before I ask Cluster for permission to put the code back into the repository.

* cLoader can use cIOS222/223/249
* Handle Anti_002_fix
* Handle Country_Patch

Does that mean CLoader will now make CIOS249 channels with the Anti-002 fix that will run on any CIOS (other than 13a) or do you need to use CIOS222 to take advantage of that fix? I am back on CIOS 9 after being annoyed with the reboot issue of 13a and I know CIOS222 avoids that issue, but I would still prefer to deal with CIOS249 if I can. The only game channel from Loadstructor that I cannot get to run on my Wii is Ghostbusters, but I am sure more will follow if I don't get the Anti-002 fix in Loadstructor.

Thanks.

Ghostbuster was the first game that I tried with the modified cLoader, and it works (with 222 and anti002-fix). The rebooting issue was what motivated me to do this. With rev14 coming in a few days (???), hopefully that issue will go away, but it's still nice to have variety.

Regarding Anti002_fix with 249: It should work, but I'm on 13a and did not test it with any other flavor (there are just too many). If you could test it on 249 rev 9 and let me know.

 

[IlluminiX]

How can I test the Anti002 fix with 249 and Loadstructor? Don't I need 222 installed to get the CLoader CIOS mload to work or did you modify the default CLoader loader with the Anti002 fix also?

Have you install Hermes' 222 ?

Yes, and uLoader works fine for me.

From the GUI, if you don't see the cIOS selection pulldown, anti002-fix checkbox, and country_patch checkbox, then you're running the old version of Loadstructor. You need to unpack the rar file and use it as a whole, not just the cLoader_cios.dol and loaders.ini. The top of the GUI should indicate Loadstructor v1.5.

 

[IlluminiX]

I don't see a Anti002 fix checkbox or Countrypatch box... and I am using the Loadstructor.exe from the 1.5 rar. Hmmm.
