I'm on 4.1U, and look at what I've gotten working with .30 r4 I'm on to creating my own USB GX themes...I've got one done & loaded properly They should be pretty easy to do now since I've got it figured out

Ok, look...there is no reason to lay into me because you're jealous of the fact that I've got it up & running & you haven't. And I didn't look at the size of the .dol file...I was merely commenting on how it's a tiny file and copying it from the apps folder to the root when it updates isn't a huge deal to me.

I think you're not understanding me...who gives a crap if the forwarders don't work? Load them from HBC, which you can still access through USB GX. If you're crying about the USB GX forwarder not being auto-bootable...well...you've got nothing better to do, apparently, because who needs it if the whole app dol file runs in autoboot? Just stop being lazy & copy the new updated .dol from your apps folder to your root folder when it occasionally updates....that's the ONLY thing autobooting the full .dol doesn't do. Because it can't overwrite anything on the root.....so you do it yourself.

God people are lazy.

 

your still failing to see that a Forwarder ,dol is only a few hundred KB compared to the app .dol which is nearly 3,5MB in size, to me thats NAND space wasted and not needing to mention the constant .dol installs in preloader to keep GX up to date, but it is your choise what you do

 

I don't mean to get into the middle of a flame war here...but you're not understanding what the issue is. The NAND can only take so many writes until it fails so the less writing done to it the better. People use the forwarder for two reasons, a single NAND write and to give the HDD more time to properly initialize upon boot. This isn't a question of anyone being lazy and no one is jealous of the fact that you've "got it up & running" (which you don't). D34DL1N3R and I are fully aware that the dol itself works when installed. The issue is that the forwarder.dol DOESN'T work when installed in preloader. It's kind of silly to call D34DL1N3R jealous when he compiles almost every rev of GX for himself and does quite a bit of testing for it. What do you do?

And all this mess is cluttering up this thread which has nothing to do with GX. Anything more to say on the subject should be said in the GX thread.

 

Take a chill pill dude! Sheesh!!!
Now off to bed little one, with no supper. Tut-Tut! (pats you on the head)

 

I am actually less calm and more excited, but in the good way.

 

Wow, great features!

 

Cool newz php! Can't wait to try it out.

ThanX!

 

I think they were just frustrated because you were sidestepping their point and acting like you didnt understand what they wanted. either because you really didnt understand, or it wasnt a big deal to you, it avoided there issue, which phpgeek has since resolved.

and it would be a lot of space to install that to the nand, 3.5 megs is a biggun....I thinks that's approx 25 "wii blocks", If im not mistaken. your sysmenu has a little space reserved for stuff not included in the downloaded titles and saves, but its still good to conserve.

Anyways, why take the chance? I'm not trying to sit here and debate this with you. Really. I'm just saying, the less you write to your NAND, the less chance of corrupting anything. Can we agree on that?"

I guess, I mean bad blocks aren't corrupt, so much as dead and unwritable.
If your write corrupts something, its because you app is doing something it shouldnt, writing somewhere it shouldnt.

nevertheless, using the forwarder does exactly what you said, involves significantly less write cycles and uses less space, that is exactly true.

you simply shouldn't overload your argument with things not really relevant just to have a bigger stack of reasons than the other guy and hope they don't understand; educate them instead. irrelevant points that don't really bear any importance don't make your already valid point any more valid, they just make it look like you want to make the other person feel dumb....even if unintentionally.

enough said though, we're letting this drag out into yuck. I still need a preloader that doesnt abort on ticket reading...pretty please?

 

Which system menu are you on? And is this an issue where you can't get it to install?
