Nicely done, feel free to keep the graphics coming. We need anything we can get to replace the ugly default wordpress theme.

lol ok, That was just something quick but i guess if i get a chance i could play around in photoshop i have a few years of experience. Althoe its 4am so i doubt i'll have a chance to work with anything tonight. I'll see if i can do a little something for the site tomorrow

requiem4d what about getting rid of cios ?

I was planning working on it but I have not enough free time...

What I was thinking to do like menuloader, basically they seem to reloadIOS and load systemenu to memory and then patch few memory areas like ones for region free, auto update, etc.

What could be done would be to reloadIOS needed for current loaded disc, "find some free memory space", do a binary loading of assembled functions (from cios) into this free memory and alter addresses of DVD_READ functions to point to loaded ones.

This seems pretty easy on paper, but this is very complex, messing directly with byte code.

 

[requiem4d]

Getting rid of the cIOS isn't possible at the moment, although we're working hard to try and figure out how to perform our reads without it. If you're interested, DVDx could be a good place to start looking.

In-memory patching of the system menu is another area we'd like to work on to give us a "Rebooter" type option to load games via the disc channel.

There are many good quality WP themes available on the web...

If you ask someone here to create some graphics for the site, then you'll also need to find someone who knows Wordpress well enough to implement them properly...

Finally, a word of encouragement, this loader has improved immensely since the first post, keep it up!

I have the issue with the weird green and sometimes red stuff on top of the screen inside the "menu". I have a PAL Wii with RGB cable. I only get this when i set the video mode to 576i, on 480i everything is fine and EDTV/HDTV is not selectable for me.

I figured out that the "VIDEO_ClearFrameBuffer(vmode, framebuffer, COLOR_BLACK);" before "CON_InitEx(vmode, x, y, w, h);" is the cause of the issue. When i move it behind CON_InitEx everything is fine. (When i remove it, things get worse)

Some people had freezes with older revisions of SoftChip(where VIDEO_ClearFrameBuffer was executed after CON_InitEx), would this change cause problems for anybody, or would it be a "safe" solution to move it back?

The CON_InitEx should just be after the 2 VSyncs, i'll try to change that. We could call it two times too.

Edit: Fixed (r42).

unfortunatly neither menuload nor DVDx have public sources.
