More time to spend working on postLoader!

It's really hard to develop with my smartphone

That only means a bigger challenge right?

 

[AbdallahTerro]

yeah, especially if that plugin limit can be increased to 100 and also the use of "|" in argument

Is there any way to install postLoader 4 on an emulated NAND without using priiloader?
Priiloader seems to cause issues on my Wii.

You should check /ploader/plugins.conf if the path for roms are the right one and the plugin is activated.

You can install postloader without priiloader. But if you want to start postloader automatically you need neek2obooter.app. Check postloader's readmii.txt

@ stfour
I've checked.

Do you mean this ?
045=1|0|FB Alpha|retroarch-wii/fb_alpha.dol|/fba_alpha/roms|zip|fba.png|{device}:{path}/;{name}
033=1|1|WiiMednafen PCE|wiimednafen-mod3.dol|/wiimednafen/roms/PCE|pce,zip|Turbo_Grafx.png|{device}:{path}/;{name};{loader}
and yes the rom paths are right

P.S
the plugins are in wiiflow\plugins
is postloader compatible with all plugins found here http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/101209384/MasterPiece/wiiflow_pack.html

Thanks again, great app

I'm not stfour but hope you don't mind if I answer.
Postloader atm has a plugin limit so not all the plugin will show (only 32 or so)
so in your case you can either move those those lines up in the plugin ini giving them lower numbers (keep in mind you need to keep the numbers consecutive so might need to rename the other lines)
or just wait for September until stfour increases the plugin numbers limit.

And yes I made this Postloader pack to be used with the Wiiflow Masterpiece Pack (the only prerequisite)
have in mind that scummvm is not compatible yet with PL also plugins with "|" in the argument line such as "Dosbox" won't autoboot either

Have a nice day

Where can I find an example of the correct plugin setting format for the latest version of Postloader?

EDIT : oh, wait ... the 4.4.6 complete install package has a plugin.conf in it ... is that still the correct format?
it says
<unique_id>=<enabled?1:0>|<recurse?1:0>|<description>|<plugin_name.dol>|<romfolder>|<ext1>,<ext2>,...,<extN>|<defaulticon.png>|<arguments>

For Maxternal !
this is my plugins.con( remove the .TXT), I made this following AbdallahTerro Tips.
Compare it with the original if it can help you !
I made this because I need only these plugins, and everything works.
Thanx again Abd...

hope this can help You

It's September 11,
Hi stfour

 

[Maxternal]

In case anyone wanted a tool to convert the WiiFlow plugin configuration to the PostLoader format, it's included in the Plugin editor tab of this app.
http://www.mediafire.com/download/5yb97ybeea6v9qr/SourceMenuEditor.zip (updated link ... see below)
It's still a work in progress but you should still be able to save the converted plugin.conf file. You'll just have to copy all the images from your WiiFlow source_menu folder to the PostLoader plugins folder manually for it to work completely.

 

[MassiveRican]

Hey Maxternal just my luck, when u find some time to work on your app my net is down, so I can't d/load jack. I can't wait to take it for a test drive man, thanks a milli!

 

[Maxternal]

updated the above app with some improvements saving the plugins.conf file.

SOURCE MENU EDITOR again
http://www.mediafire.com/download/5yb97ybeea6v9qr/SourceMenuEditor.zip
I finished the plugin editor tab.

Changelog
- Plugin editor works
- plugin.conf file saver for PostLoader now offers to copy images files to where PostLoader can use them
- plugin.conf file saver for PL should now work properly for plugin DOL files that are in subfolders (like retroarch)
- only known bug : sometimes it gets confused about whether there are unsaved changes to the source menu or not but saving when there's been no changes shouldn't hurt anything anyhow (as always, any further feedback is appreciated.)



I'll update the links on my previous post, too.
