@drmarvin, no, I do not think that usb loading will be (directly) ever available... but anyway I have some other ideas that will help in this scenario....

Let's see in September (late...)

Cool. I'll keep my eyes and ears open. I have found that postloader2 doesn't solve everything, and I still need to use UNEEK to have some WiiWare/VC work, but with switch2uneek, it's really simple. postloader2 is certainly a better alternative to HBC with UNEEK, which is a boon.

All in all, thanks for all the hard work.

I'm liking this app so far but I'm having issues getting it to work consistently. When I have it set to autoboot in uneek with priiloader, the app will fire right up the first time but it will never run again after a restart, just a black screen. Anyone else experiencing this? I'm using a WD Elements 1TB if that helps. (wdbaau0010hbk-01).

Also, I hate to even ask this since I know there is already a ton of time and effort put into the app but I'm curious to know if it's possible to add the intro music for a vc/wiiware channel when it's highlighted? Kind of like when you click a channel in the system menu.

Under uneek/priiloader do you install neekbooter.dol or directly postloader.dol ?

Actually I have other priorities. But this is on the to do list...

postLoader2 b25

Code:
* Corrected arguments passing... now if no args are found, arg struct will not be created. This solve problems related to dollz that was solved with a not-so-skilled trick in b20.
Hey stfour, what have you changed now btw? I'm interested in the solution

Have you implemented the new app_booter ?

Anyway, if in the header of the dol you find _arg (at offset 0x104), you must (should) create the arg struct with the ARGV_MAGIC. The first parameter is (should be) always the full path of the dol executed, with also filename. Follow the other parameters.

Otherwise simply do not add ARV_MAGIC to the struct.

For me works fine. I have no other report of this problem. It is not easy to help you....

Yeah new app_booter is added. That's it? Wow, I'll take a look at it.

You should not be looking for _arg at "offset 0x104", you should be looking at the application's entrypoint+4.

Yes, but this should be implemented in the app_booter, after the dol is configured in memory... I don't want to touch it (basically because I do not want install devkitPPC R17

to rebuild it). Anyway make much more sense than before.

Oh and this will remove all arguments currently btw, tested with latest postloader. Is there no possibilty to transfer at least the filepath?

Hello all. I've been following this app since it's public inception, and I must say I love this freaking app. So much so in fact that it is the sole reason why I finally decided to register. I just wanted to say a massive thanks to Stfour and all the individuals who have supported and tested this wonderful piece of programming lol!

Just d/loaded build 28 and can't wait to try the improvements.

So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
