Ok so I am able to get the following .dols to work with preloader...
FTPii
Softchip
Gamma
Preloaders-Hacks.ini-deleter works
Haven't tried too many others besides Wadmanager and the menu patchers and loader and didnt get it to work properly resulting in code dumps.
As for the "hacks.init" file I have edited mine like just experiementing with it...
I was thinking that because I am running on a systemmenuv289.wad why would I need to have the 290 hack entries? Is correct?! Seems to work fine without them... still some testing needed to be done with though...
Here is what I have edited my hacks.init file to since I am using a ntsc system menu I edited it with just those hacks that I desired to try... Unfortunately I am only able to access the first 7 hacks to toggle between disabled/enabled.. I still am not sure if the last few are enabled because I can not toggle them and also if have not done a NAND dump to check to see if they are actually in the NAND..

But this is pretty much where I am at with preloader... if anyone wants to add suggestions, etc please do so because I am learning just like most of you.
If you are like myself and are interested in seeing what is being stored in the NAND itself by preloader I managed to get a version of FTPii which has a NAND dumper feature. Not quite sure how well it works... I am sure it's beta. and am in the process of testing it myself...

I am dumping my NAND with it now and seems to dump faster than to SD card.
Peace
