Homebrew postLoader4

[DEFIANT]

still will not load. same high pitched squeal. tried moving it out of my games sub-directory strait into apps, still no go.

Do you keep pacman roms in /pacman/roms or in /apps/pacman/roms ?

tried both , same results. hbc launches ok though. maybe i'll reformat and go from there.

I think I found the problem... b25 in progress

postLoader2 b25

CODE* Adopted app_booter r214 from wiiXplorer (thank's dimok). postLoader size reduced by about 100Kb
* Adjusted code (hb and triiforce interface) to be compatible with app_booter
* 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.
* Elf args should be supported (untested)
* hb without meta.xml now are named as folder name (before thay was shown as )
* Now classic controller can change page with +/- and shoulder buttons
* Corrected a bug on homebrew browser when hiding an application.
* update downloadable sources to b25

@defiant, let me know if this version works with pacman

@Troelzkii, maybe this version solve your dump. I found a bug, but I'm not sure it is related to your problem, because I was not able to reproduce it.

now I just get a black screen with a different pitched squeal. I no longer see the frozen arcade startup for pacman. weird. is there a way to get old versions to test? that way i can back track to last working version.

 

[GartimusPrime]

I hope no one cares (especially stfour) but I made a pL2 logo for my personal use......if anyone is interested I can upload it......again I hope you don't mind stfour....

ok, I will prepare it.

for me pacman freezes when I was keeping roms under app folder. Using root also b24 worked. When working with b25 it freeze with both folders until I changed how I use arguments. Hopes it isn't a casuality, as pacman doesn't use args (I've checked the code).

Unfortunately it didn't solve my problem. I still get stack dump, however I did some more testing and found that my problem is only occuring when pressing "B" on som apps like homebrew channel installer, a cios installer app (cannot remember which). I will make a complete list of which apps I can press "B" on with out problems and which ones makes a stack dump.

Sorry for the misleading information in my first post. It seems like it was just a coincident that the three first apps I tried to hide worked and the rest didn't.

@ stfour b25 is working fine with no countdown for my USB drive, thanks and keep up the great work, please if possible an auto update via USB?

Can you paste the meta.xml of one of app that causes stack dump ?

If think that can be the only cause...

@bnm81002, I'm working on it... yes, it will update on usb, but only if it is in usb:/apps/ploader (and obviusly sd:/ and sd:/apps/ploader)

 

[stfour]

Found it...

Works with the new beta. Thanks again for your support. Postloader is a great app.

Thank you

 

[GartimusPrime]

certainly don't put this at the top of the priority list...but I started using WiiSX and it stack dumps in postLoader but works in homebrew channel....

 

[DEFIANT]

About your themes, how do you turn off the slight transparency when channels are at rest? ie; no cursor is pointed at them. I think that's why they seem faded in a post I made previously.

 

[stfour]

DEFIANT, GartimusPrime, can you try this version ?

WiiSX should now work, I found the problem... may be can be the same for pacman (even if it works on my wii)...

 

[DEFIANT]

Sorry, still no joy. Same noise, black screen.

I have added slow debug output so we can check where stop.

(anyway pacman support only /pacman/roms, not /app/pacman/roms even if stated in meta.xml)

Thank you for you testing.

 

[GartimusPrime]

ok....so b27 loads WiiSX...however when I quit WiiSX it quits to the homebrew channel....kinda weird.....but thank you for fixing so quick!!

 

[DEFIANT]

Confirm, I now have pacman working under b27t1. Seems I was missing a pacman.6e. I'm not sure why it was working under hbc but it was. So what version of postloader should we use? I'm going to try b26...
