what do d-pad left and right do? They could easily be used to swap lang modes without interfacing anything particularly extra, just changing their non-existent commands with a simple left-to-right scroll.

Or just wait for nunchuck/classic/etc support.

seeing as how i rather like my current usbloader setup and this one offers me nothing new, i'm not going to test it. Sorry pal =\. But good work on it. Just seems like you have it working nearly as good as it can be, so i'd more than likely be wasting my time.

By the way, make sure it's clear in your first post that televisions lacking pal50/pal60 support will never be able to launch any pal game that has no ntsc support. So anyone who can't meet the criteria of having a TV that support both PAL modes need not apply.

Great work again!

I'm just about to up the latest source - I'll update the first post.

Using + and - to roll through languages is a nice idea... hmm...

Dear fishears, is your loader implemented with Sorg's mod ? If not, would you please do, making it more compatible with HD ?

Well.... I'll stop making a design.... Cos I don't want to make several....
If I make one for this loader version, I have to remake it, when the box art is implemented...
So it's better to wait until fishear got the code ready and we can implement it into the "all-in-one Package"

sry.

The Menu is there. and it can be scrolled with the d-pad.
But language patching doesn't work. I'll always end up with the default language in game.

Yes. It was just a proof of concept for the GUI - I did not include the actual patching.
I've just completed the patching now so, care to try it out?

It works!
I was able to play brawl in french with this.
I'll keep on testing different stuff, now.

Goods job. and very fast.
Could you upload the source ?
Or could you plz post the lines you have added and where you have put them ?
This would help to implement everything in just ONE Loader.

I'm on a roll at the moment - all my code is working

OK, here's a quick POC of my proposed solution to the language patch GUI:

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?nj22ggjcyni

I've sacrificed Left and Right fast scrolling to give us a language selection at the bottom of the screen.
Feedback appreciated as always

I'll be coding the actual language patching soon but maybe not today...

Sad. Fast scrolling is important ! Especially when there are many games installed. On the countrary, install and delete game are not frequently used and is also not that important as the job is usually done on a PC.

What if you could enter in a install/uninstall menu pressing reset?
Then you can install or unninstall using -/+ and leave the menu pressing B, out of the menu you could use left/right to scroll and -/+ to change language.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too

    yes looks like an faulty sd

    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
