New screenshot (argh the flashlight is visible on my TV - previous picture done from another TV)...

Spoiler

Ahhmm... It would be much better than the reload time-out would be more than 3 seconds - for betas atleast I'd say.

 

[lost_loven]

deleted the log and just flies!!!!!

snes files loads and works.
selected random nes roms and system reboots now.
system still crash's when tring to jump to random page number.

[stfour]

Also for you it crash on goto to page ?

 

[AbdallahTerro]

yes and can't see all the pages.
maybe we can type instead of choose

 

[Excelsiior]

Besides... I still have the issue I can't cancel USB-detection by pressing (b).

 

[lost_loven]

how about sub menus for emulators for each type of system, then display the system when clicked on.

You can use filters for that...

DM is out,
you can now remove the highlights from USB games covers after adding support
Fix's dm-booter works great here and wiiflow 505 also

 

[lost_loven]

true thats what the filters are for, was just thinking of a quick one click solution for us (me) lazier people

@[member='stfour'], if you need any usbgecko output while adding the new dios mios support, let me know, I'll gladly help you test.

Edit: It doesn't seem to need any new support added(I launched Four Swords Adventures USA through the cache that was there from SD, even though the game's on USB ), though I can't get postloader to refresh the games on my USB drive in /games..it just says no games found immediately.

A small request:

wii64 can't handle zip files. And I think I've read somewhere it probably never will. As such, it would be better if postloader just displayed the supported files (.z64, .v64, .rom).

I can also confirm what's mentioned before of filters not working on the channels.

Oh, and finally...I had postloader code-dump on me while it was idling. I'm not sure if I can reproduce it, but it was somewhat of idling on emulator screen - going to screensaver - going to emulator screen again (I pressed a button) - more idle - crash. I know this doesn't make things easy to troubleshoot (plus it was about 5-10 minutes idle time), but I'll see if I come across it again.

Phew...It's been a while. And pretty hard to keep up.

But things are still the same on the latest version (24).

-the displaying of zip images for wii64 isn't much of an issue. People will get it sooner or later.

-channel filtering is kinda curious. If I go to the channels page and go 'home - 'title filter', then no matter what I do, it'll keep displaying all the channels. The same goes for hiding titles: I can hide any channel I want, it just keeps displaying it.
However...as soon as I enter "Manage UID.sys" mode, suddenly all the filters work and all the hidden channels become hidden (unless 'show hidden channels' is active). Leaving the UID manager keeps the same view. But if you use the channel filter again after that, it returns to displaying all channels again.

-the dump...it still happens. This time it got to 3 or even 4 times before crashing, but it's still there (is there a log file of crashes, btw? It's a pretty long & crypted error message to write down).

 

[daxtsu]

About the crash, could it be your USB hard drive(if you use one) is going to sleep, and postloader then crashes after trying to access it again? Or do you not use it on USB?

 

[Taleweaver]

It's not impossible. Though postloader and all of its files are on SD card, the emunand I use for neek2o is on that hard drive.

Just did a simple test: unplug the hard drive while postloader was active. The result: no change until I tried to switch to a different view. Then it just hung. So it could very well be that not being able to find the hard drive anymore (or, more precisely, the emunand) causes the issue.

Can't say I know for sure, though...

 

[daxtsu]

Yeah, it tends to hang if you remove the hard drive or sd card(haven't tried it) while Postloader is running. Try starting it without the hard drive plugged in at all, and let it idle and such. See if it still code dumps then.

Since DML is supported will be hard to implement DM since it's now released?

 

[lost_loven]

What did i do? seems somehow pl made a backup dir of the pl_us nand and now load that one. Which is called backup1340456049.
This happen to anyone? is it safe to delete ?


edit : looked at the hard drive and it seems it emptied the pl_us dir into the backup dir.
leaving the pl_us dir with 2 files in it. nand.dat 7kb and a nandinfo.txt 1kb files.
So safe to move everything back to the pl_us dir and delete the bkup?
