Hi stfour,

I notice you're still writing missgame.txt and misschan.txt to the SD root instead of to the ploader folder (which would kind of make more sense).


I'm checking the code and I admit that this isn't a casualty. These files are created on sd even if the setup is on usb. As these are the listing of missing covers, the idea is that writing them on sd is more practical. Maybe I will add a setting in configuration to enable/disable the creation of the files (with default off)

It's no problem them being on SD instead of USB - I just thought that it might be tidier if they go in the ploader folder along with all the other postloader files instead of on the root of the device. If this isn't possible it's no big deal. It just confused me when I first saw them there as I had no idea what they were!
 
So after "playing" a bit with postloader 4.0.0 I think I found a few bugs.

-If you selected a game, homebrew app or a rom and a music track is stopping, the next track won't start till you "unselect" the game.
-You can't hold the R or L button on the gamecube controller down for changing pages, it only changes one page.
-If you selected a game, homebrew app or a rom and then press B on the GC Controller, it recongnized the pressing two times, so it opens up the game settings.
-The "About Postloader" section is two times there under configuration and then as a standalone section. This is not really a bug but a little detail.

I hope you understand my bad english :P

I can confirm the non-repeating buttons issue with the GC controller, as well as the "double press" on B after selection.

Fixed:
1. Non repeating buttons: not yet
2. Double press on GC B after selection cancel: fixed

The non repeating buttons problem is odd since the GC controller uses the same code as the wiimote and classic controller, so it SHOULD repeat, but it doesn't.
 
According to that code dump, it's not inside Postloader, but I could be wrong. Does your pacman game work in other loaders?
 
LOL ! Damn pacman !!!

:D

I think I know why it doesn't works.... ;)
 
Defiant, for me pacman is working...

Can you try again (after one year :D ), this version

I can't figure out the repeating GC buttons issue, so I'll just go ahead and submit the B button fix(hope I committed this right..it's been a LONG time since I've used SVN):

https://code.google.....2.zip&can=2&q=

postLoader 4.0.2

* fixed homebrew/emulator/wii/gc game menus popping up when cancelling the launch of them on GC controller


I erm..also forgot to update the version number. So internally it's 4.0.2, but it'll still show as 4.0.1. :P

I'm also still trying to figure out how to get the online updater to work, so bear with me.

Thank you, cancelling now works! :D
 
I took the downloads down for a minute while I correct a couple versioning issues. :P

Downloads back up, and an online update should be available. If you downloaded it before I took it down, you're not missing anything except postloader now correctly showing 4.0.2 instead of 4.0.1.

Thanks

Your stub is perfect (from hbc 1.1.0). And also your forwarder seems ok. I have really no idea. I know that will not change anything, but I like you reinstall my original channel...
Using 4.0.2. I installed the official channel, tested 4 homebrew games:
powder toy exits to black screen
WiiX ball codedumps upon exit
tetwiis codedumps upon loading
Harmonium exits to SM
:(
 
I'm attempting to fix another minor bug as we speak: Pressing buttons to end the screensaver tend to open menus and stuff that the user might not want to open. Pressing the buttons should just exit the screensaver, and not then proceed to open menus immediately after ending it. I'll see what I can do.
