Homebrew Priiloader installer mod with cIOS and AHB support (looking for testers)

[JoostinOnline]

Okay, it should be working now.

 

[AbdallahTerro]

Indeed, both classic and hash working from both locations, thanks

 

[JoostinOnline]

Okay, even if everything works as is, I'm not done yet. I took a closer look at the menu code, and... It's so f*cking messy. I know I'd be better off just rewriting it from scratch (a daunting task), but at least for now I'm just going through and making some basic optimizations. The most common code I've changed is the input code. Here's an example:
http://pastie.org/8172010

I repeatedly turn 8 lines into 2 lines. I saved over 100 lines of code from that.

I'll upload a new version when I'm done.

Note: These changes won't make any noticeable difference to the end user, but it makes the code a lot easier to read. If a bug is discovered, cleaner code is very helpful for hunting down the issue.

 

[JoostinOnline]

I've uploaded what will likely be the last release before I upload a final version. If all of you could re-test it, I'd very much appreciate it.

Edit: It would also be helpful if someone could confirm that it works either with a GC or Classic controller.

 

[MassiveRican]

Sure give me a few mins I'll edit the post here with results on the latest build with GC/CC support.

 

[JoostinOnline]

Sweet. I'd still like more people to test it though, since this is probably going to be the final one before an official release.

 

[MassiveRican]

Of course, final versions should always be tested thoroughly. Well I used my LoZ golden WiiMote which I believe is a TR remote, Priiloader installed and uninstalled fine, hacks worked well, and I was able to install/uninstall with a GC remote and navigate through Priiloader itself and choose hacks and change settings, however I was not able to install/uninstall with my CC or navigate through in Priiloader at all. I didn't try my CC attached to a non TR remote I'll give that a try next.

EDIT: NON TR remote same issue, seems like CC support is broken for me.

 

[AbdallahTerro]

looks like classic hacks are not applied correctly

I should probably fix that.

 

[AbdallahTerro]

Also tried mod 6 same result
classics work fine though in DMM's 0.8 b2 mod posted in his neocorp poc thread

Also that thread has this classic hacks file with more stuff
Also DMM converted neocorp hack to hacks hash format I have it for 450/54450 in this hacks_hash file He also converted it for other systems but I don't have ithttps://www.dropbox.com/s/shq9fyfdz0gax7t/hacks_hash.ini

If you like replace the ones you have with those
@damysteryma in case you read this can you please post the neocorp hacks_hash so that we can include them too

P.S. I also suggest a fresh new icon for the final release

 

[MassiveRican]

Yep your Icons are fantastic joostinonline, when finalized u should pimp out the icon a bit

Do you happen to have a link on hand?

Could you enable classic hacks, use FSBrowser/FSToolobx to dump title\00000001\00000002\data from your NAND, and upload all the .ini files in there? I'd ask you to upload everything in the folder, but it might have copyrighted content.

Thanks, I'll do that (unless I feel too lazy).

 

[AbdallahTerro]

Here's a link: http://gbatemp.net/threads/poc-boot-neogamma-via-disc-channel.321110/
it has priiloader mod source and many extra stuff too

Edit: I'll upload the ini content when I'm back home (in a couple of hours or so)

 

[JoostinOnline]

Try it now. If it still doesn't work, then please update your .ini files.

 

[AbdallahTerro]

Mod 7 working great
It's a good candidate for a final release.
It still needs a special touch like a yellow font color or a "mod" in the menu page or something like that, something that will make me forget about Daco whenever I run the app

 

[JoostinOnline]

I'll still need to thank crediar and Daco in app. I may dislike DacoTaco, but I did a relatively small amount of work compared what Daco put into Priiloader and crediar into Preloader. They are amazing apps.

 

[AbdallahTerro]

That's not what I meant, I thank'em too, I was referring to the fact that the mod looks exactly the same as the original and it needs a tiny touch to make it visually recognizable. I thought about font or background color since these should be easy to change. but even if it stays as is, it's still very cool

 

[JoostinOnline]

I'm having trouble with the Classic Controller support. Does anybody object to me just removing it completely?

Edit: Nevermind, fixed it.

 

[MassiveRican]

I don't object. I wouldn't use CC for priiloader anyway.

 

[JoostinOnline]

I should probably figure out what I'm doing wrong, just for future info. The CC zooms through the menu so if you press Down, it it loops around at least once.
