Homebrew postLoader4

[stfour]

DM support works wonderfully! but I get a code dump whenever I press the D-pad in the right direction: I cannot access channels. I suppose I should send you a pl.log? right?

Okay, I just tried out postLoader 4.b25. Thank you very much for the DM 2.x support (and a fully parsed plugins.conf). Now, my issue... I ended up erasing my SNEEK folder on my USB HD, the channels.* files in my usb://ploader/ folder, and my nand.dat and sneekcache folders in usb://nands/pln2o/. I updated the title cache and finally channels were correctly filtered out. Then, I launched a Wiiware game from usb://nands/pln2o/ under neek2o and when I restated, PL is now dumping out just when it starts. I created an sd://ploader.conf, and the last line is: "ReadTitleConfig: Error -> size fails". :/ Is there any file I can post to further figure out why this is failing From the code, I can see it has something to do with HexAscii2Bin not producing the right size s_channelConfig, but I'm not innately certain where the data is stored or where to go from there.

Yes the right file is ploader.log. Also It could be better you send me your channel.* files in /ploader. Also a shot of the dump will be very very usefull !

Thank you.

Edit: doesn't matter... I am able to reproduce the dump

Ok there is a bad bug in .conf management that make files grow indefinitely at every run. Fix on the way.

postLoader 4.b26

* fixed .conf corruption caused by recently changes in cfg library. postLoader should be able to recover actual corrupted files. Otherwise delete any *.conf and channels.* from /ploader folder

Hello. Is it possible to add SMB support. My emu roms are stored on a NAS to access them from all my devices. This is working well with the stanalone emulators.
I think, this would be a great addition for postloader, but it's not urgently needed. Thanks!

When pl4 is finished (or better, out from beta) it is something I can think about.

thank you so much,
no more codedumps at startup
default cIOS works great
All boot methods work fine too
DM mode is awesome better if it was default for GC games

Just wondering why cIOS 245 and 246 cannot be selected (I use bases 37 and 38 here) and many wiiware work fine with them too.
New shutdown menu is much much better (thanks for the icon too) - can the exit be on far right by force or by forcing wiimod and sysconfig to far left

One step closer to a final stable build
Keep it up stfour
Thanks again
Abz

Thank you for your report

245 and 246 can be added...

Moving exit to right seems simple but require some work. Also I want this, so it will be done soon

I was this close to blame Dios Mios for all sorts of crashes when it was really postloader r24.

Either way: thanks for the quick fix. And the channel sorting/filtering works great as well.

I had some time today to test the emulators and I noticed the following:
NES, SNES, N64 and Gboy all run fine
Sega Gen. loads app but not game (unable to open games on USB)

I also was able to add other emulators from Wiiflow-Pack-3 by editing the cfg file
Wiimednafen trying to load Master System games (unable to load games from USB)
I didn't test WiiMC and ScummVm since I don't use them.

Thanks

I need FIX94 help on this. I use the same method for executing emulators... so I have no idea. Genesis do the same for me.

From wich version you have updated ?

 

[lost_loven]

from 25.

lost

 

[stfour]

maybe some rom extension is missing from plugins.conf ?

 

[lost_loven]

nothing has changed since 24 on my end. just 25 and 26 versions showed only 3 pages of sega gen

lost

 

[stfour]

25 and 26 uses extension filtering from plugins.conf. Previous versions get all files from rom folder. Can you check this ?

Are there going to be a path/browse configuration option for the different rom folders (-in)postLoader?

 

[lost_loven]

that worked thanks is it case sensitive?

It should not be case sensitive. What have you changed so I can update distribution plugins.conf ?

@[member='stfour']

Yes there is a file that allow path to be added. It is plugins.conf. Should be possible also to add more then one folder with same emulators.

Does Postloader still look in /ngc only for DM games? If so, that would explain why it keeps saying "No games found, rebuild cache!" since I keep all of my Gamecube games in /games on USB, even when I tell it to rebuild the game cache..

Edit: Fixed it. I had to switch DML mode to 2.x USB. I wasn't aware of the change. User error as usual.

Edit 2: I tried running Super Mario Sunshine NTSC and got a code dump..
