Hi everyone! i have had so many requests of how to compile a source with devkitpro, so i decided to make a tutorial, so you all can make it your self
1. First of all you need DevKitPro.install it. Download it here: DevKitPro
2. You need the source of Waninkoko`s usb loader. Download it here:USB Loader 1.1 Source
3. Extract the source files to c:\USBLoader
4. Now we change the background. the background image of the USB Loader is located in c:\USBLoader\data and it`s named background (without file extension). If you edit the filename and add a file extension to it (example: background.png), you should be able to see the image. Now just replace that image with your own image and remove the file extension (.png).
5. Open Programmers Notepad (it`s something you installed with devkitpro
), this is the program you use to compile the source.
6. Click File---->Open, locate the makefile which is in c:\USBLoader and click Open.
7.1 Let`s change the code abit:
Locate this:
DEVKITPRO = /opt/devkitPPC
DEVKITPPC = /opt/devkitPPC
Change it to:
#DEVKITPRO = /opt/devkitPPC
#DEVKITPPC = /opt/devkitPPC
7.2 And now we change some more...:
Locate this:
$(OUTPUT).dol: $(OUTPUT).elf
$(OUTPUT).elf: $(OFILES)
Change it to:
$(OUTPUT).dol: $(OUTPUT).dol
$(OUTPUT).elf: $(OFILES)
8. Now you are ready to compile! Yay! Click Tools---->Make and you`re done!
now you should have an USBLoader.dol & USBLoader.elf in c:\
test the .dol that it works with Sendelf or similar method.
9. Enjoy your new custom USB Loader!
P.S. If you want to make another USB Loader with different background do this:
Overwrite the previous "background" file with the new one and then delete the "Build" folder inside the c:\USBLoader folder, then Tools -> Make (thx to u4wii)
If you have something to add to this tutorial, just send a message.
