PL should have the ability to ga from 1st page to last page by pressing (-) really practical when >10 pages are present.

For me, version 3.67.3 doesn't show games on WBFS folder or DML games, on FAT32 primary partition. Works correctly in version 3.66.1. I didn't check other 3.67.X versions.
Games scan works and detects all games, but then they don't show.
I hope this helps to improve this great software.

Please give me more details... what it is showing ? The message "No games found, rebuild cache!" ?

Is your postloader data folder (/ploader) on usb or sd ?

Thank you !

I have noticed that when run under real NAND, the channels read from my USB held NAND display the game names on the bottom line of your interface (e.g. 'Bejeweled 2') and appear to sorted alphabetically by this name. When run under NEEK2O this game name is replaced by the title ID (e.g. WJWE). Just to clarfiy what I mean, they obviously both show the ID on the first line of the display (next to where it says 'WiiWare'), but underneath this line the game name isn't shown (just the ID is repeated) when accessed under NEEK2O.

I've tested it, but I can't replicate your problem

odd, I have the exact same issue with multiple NANDS. Real NAND Wiiware seems alphabetized by name, but when running under neek2o only Title ID show, no WiiWare names. Would a screenshot or ploader.log file help?

Thank you !

My ploader folder is on sd. I get no error at all, just the game list is empty and when I rebuild the game list I can see the file names and the numbers counting up. But when it finishes it shows an empty list.
----------------------
I found the error! The filter list had selected "Adventure" (but I had never used the filter list...). And in 3.66.1 all the games appeared, so only 3.67.1 saw the filter list as enabled.

Just to test, I set the filter list to empty from 3.67.3, and went back to 3.66.1. All games appeared. And when I updated again to 3.67.3, everything was there again. So it was probably some corruption on my settings.
I hope this makes sense.
Thank you very much.

dapaua, It is a my fault... before 3.67.0 postloader remembered the same page for wii and gc games... i've added a field in config file but I've forgotten to change file-id so that postloader recreate it from scratch. Thank you for pointing that. Maybe I can also add a warning window for bad filters option

MassiveRican... hold on... current version has no enough debug output for channel scan. But I think I know why I can't replicate the problem.

ok and let me re-clarify. When in real NAND mode and choosing a NAND source from USB I can see wiiware name and title ID but not when booting into same NAND on USB in neek2o... Hope that makes sense lol

 

[stfour]

Ok, I confirm the bug... I wasn't see it because I had titles.txt in my /ploader folder....

Should be solved, also the problem with loaders

postLoader 3.67.4

* Fixed channels name for neek2o
* Maybe loaders execution is now fixed. This bug may be present for any hb launched and seems connected to cover cache thread

Wow... lot of work this time stfour, worth the 4 day wait!

I have noticed that when run under real NAND, the channels read from my USB held NAND display the game names on the bottom line of your interface (e.g. 'Bejeweled 2') and appear to sorted alphabetically by this name. When run under NEEK2O this game name is replaced by the title ID (e.g. WJWE). Just to clarfiy what I mean, they obviously both show the ID on the first line of the display (next to where it says 'WiiWare'), but underneath this line the game name isn't shown (just the ID is repeated) when accessed under NEEK2O.

I think the former should be the correct behaviour so I'm guessing there's a bug in the game name display and sorting when running under NEEK2O.

EDIT: I also love the new 'pop-up' when you select a game (far better than just immediately launching as it lets you back out if you pick something by accident). Would it also be possible to implement the '+' and '-' buttons whilst in this view to go immediately to the next / previous game? Most USB launchers do this and it's a nice way to scroll through your titles without having to keep pointing at the screen.

I've miss your post. I will check soon

The exception on disc load ? I can't reproduce this. Maybe I will release a logging version of di module so we can understand what is happening...

Haha, I was about to post that I had this same issue, only that my filter list had "action" checked. Once I read this post, I went to test and everything is working wonders! I'll never stop saying how wonderful is this app.

 

[JoostinOnline]

I had that same problem. I would have mentioned it here before, but I thought it was something I caused since I had messed around with the filter in past versions.

 

[stfour]

Not now, hold on no more then two days that I will have the type to add some debug info to di module....

 

[GartimusPrime]

no matter what I do, the update says 3.67.3, even though it says there is a 3.67.4. I update from postloader AND downloaded from google code. No matter what it says 3.67.3 instead of 3.67.4

 

[stfour]

Yes, I've forgotten to update the internal version... anyway the file is right...

 

[stfour]

postLoader 3.68.0

* Corrected build number in historii.txt

postLoader 3.67.5

* Corrected internal build number
* DML: Video mode selection is back again, with more per-game options (Game/Wii/Force NTSC/Force PAL) and an option to change default setting for all games
* DI: Added debug output (to gecko and sd:/ploader.log)
* DI: Mooved entrypoint
* Added "the little ghost" icon to hidden channels/games when "show hidden items" is selected
* Finally cover cache thread should be correctly terminated

@Luigi2011SM64 let me known. To enable debug output you have to create an (empty) file named sd:/ploader.log. Then pm the contents to me. Thank you

For those that may still have the 'missing channel titles' when looking at Wiiware/VC under neek2o, rebuilding the channel cache fixed it for me.

Thanks stfour!

 

[stfour]

postLoader 3.68.1

* fixed xml version number (thx XFlak)
* fixed hb execution via postloader channel (untested)
