Homebrew Nintendo Wii Tribute USB Loader GX Theme / WiiRetro

[Flo_o]

@Griffballchamp why not starting with saying thanks first. Also, i don't like questions ending with more than one question mark, it feels like i did something wrong. And I did not know that there was an server section here on gbatemp. Try to formulate your question(s) more positive next time Griffballchamp, like "hi flo_o, great theme, is it also possible to upload it to the gbatemp server?" or "when are you going to re-upload the theme? Can't wait to try it out" (see your Aug 19, 2019 question).

See? It's that simple.

hi flo_o, great theme, is it also possible to upload it to the gbatemp server?

You can find it here: https://gbatemp.net/download/categories/other-files.166/

Its a really awesome feature here on the site. You dont have to maintain it, can update the version, and other users can find it easily!

Thank you so much for your hard work and may God bless you!!

good theme, there are a couple of bugs however:
-it can't display special characters like the "é" in Pokémon games or the weird "O" in Okami
-when looking at the game info, the actual covercase is not displayed and you just have the fullcover image floating in the air

Hi MrSW, thanks for the bug report. The special character bug is a know bug, that is because i used the 'Space Crusader' font that does not contain special characters. In this case the special characters has to added to the font. I tried but i have a hard time with it. The alternative is using a different font, but there is a risk that the measurements will be off.
I have fixed the covercase and will include that in the next update.

Thanks again for reporting

Hi Mr. Flo_o. In love with this theme
Is there a possibility to the music be random everytime we enter in USB Loader?
Other thing is I dont know if its only with me but the color of font dont be cool in banner channel of the game (maybe because my system menu is White?)
And downloaded the v3.0 but in theme selector show v2.0 so I cant confirm if is really v3.0
Thanks again for this great theme

Hi Barros, great to hear you like the theme Unfortunately, you have to manually change the background music (if you want to hear something different), there is no shuffle option, it's a USB Loader GX thing, it's a cool idea but somebody has to code that in.

To answer your other question, yes, the problem is your white system menu. This theme is made with a dark system menu in mind, you can see my explanation on the main page:

"To get the best result after installing this theme, also change/patch your internal Wii system menu to a dark variant, like the dark wii theme made by Slazor. The new dark channel 'settings' and 'start' buttons will fit the theme way better than the default white buttons. Use the MyMenuifyMOD made by Scooby74029."

And sorry for the 2.0 instead of 3.0, i just fixed it, it will now show 3.0

Hi Vilagamer999, great to hear that you like the theme

Have you disabled "use system font" (when ebabled the font is really small)? I run USB Loader GX in 4:3 and everything is easy to read.

Hi Vilagamer999, glad that it worked out for you

I already added the following information to the front page and txt file inlcuded:

Installation:


- Unpack the .zip file to your desktop and drag the 'theme' folder to the following location on your SD card: apps\usbloader_gx
- Turn on your Wii and start USB Loader GX
- Go to 'settings' and then to 'theme menu'
- Open WiiRetro and install it
- After installation, go to 'settings'-->'gui settings' and disable the 'use system font' to activate the WiiRetro font.

But i will add some extra info to make it more clear, thanks again for the feedback.

Installed this theme last night. It's really cool, especially with the music! I'll have to get uses to using the Box Boy cursors though.

Looking forward to you making a theme for the Wii Menu and HBC, if you do that!

 

[Flo_o]

@Larsenv Hi Larsenv, great to hear that you like the theme! Yeah, the Box Boy cursor can be different at first, but you will get used to it

A matching HBC theme and Wii menu theme is on my list, but i will take some time to finish that, especially because i have a hard time with editing the system menu.

I have a question. Where is the button to remount sd cards? Can't find it anywhere.

Hi Justin, sorry for the missing remount SD function. I left it out because i never used it (and i still don't know why you should want to remount the SD while the Wii is on

It can be fixed but it will take some time.

Update: new channels for VBA GX, mGBA and Enhanced mGBA are up!

Hi laz, i don't think so but i am not 100% sure, i'm not the developer of USB Loader GX. If you want to know for sure, you can ask @Cyan
