Hacking USB Loader Forwarder

[Anubis]

Ok, this may or may not be simple depending on your skills but I'm going to request it anyway.
I'm looking for a FULLY working, with quick boot time USBLoader forwarder to use at the start of Preloader, this should point to "SD:\apps\usbloader_gx\boot.dol".

If you do this, I'll be forever grateful.

Thank you.

looking for exactly the same thing!
after a long search, i now have a sort of working one. it points to \apps\usbloader\boot.dol
startup time is fast, no crashing during first boot. But i've set up preloader to return to the autoboot file after exiting a game. and then it does crash sometimes. So I'm looking for a better one now..

Well, that's a "channel" so I'm guessing it's has a really slow boot time.

Does anyone know where I can get the source code for a forwarder? I would like to play around with it a little.

EDIT: Oops was kind enough to PM me some links incase any one else is interested.

Sources: Elf/Dol Forwarder for Custom Channels

Elf/Dol Forwarder for specific apps: Download (use this to compile your own forwarders for specific apps)
Elf/Dol Forwarder General: Download
Media Forwarder: Download (five buttons on Wiimotes configurable)
Emulator Forwarder: Download (eight buttons on Wiimotes configurable)
Tools Forwarder: Download (four buttons on Wiimotes configurable)

My libogc directory: Download

Yeah I've tried that source code. But unfortunately it's not compatible with preloader

Is my forwarder:

compatible with preloader? I can't test, because i don't have preloader.

I'd like to test it, but the link has expired and I don't see a new mirror upload of that most recent version.

sorry for the stupid question, but you are asking for a channel (wad) which is a forwarder to usbloader_gx/boot.dol or just a dol file pointing to the app, to be injected in a (custom) wad?

I am working a bit on forwarders and channels, so if I understand better your request maybe I can help!

 

[Anubis]

I'm requesting just the dol so I can set it up to boot with Preloader.

 

[DKAngel]

why dont u just boot the usbloader.dol with preloader, then u dont need a forewarder, the forearder is just used for the system menu as a channel so u dont have to go thru the hbc

 

[Anubis]

People don't use the forwarder because they don't want to go through the HBC... they use it because they won't bother updating their channel every time a revision of the USB Loader is made (which is pretty much ever 4 hours).
