Hacking USB Loader GX

[hilo]

Thank you very much for the cover of the backup disc I thought never to have superb

 

[mixinluv2u]

how do you auto download disc and cover art?

 

[TiMeBoMb4u2]

how do you auto download disc and cover art?

Unlock the Loader, and click on the "No Cover" cover art.

Why are you even making ISOs of backups anyways? Why not just put the backup in your PC DVD drive and dump it directly onto the WBFS drive using one of the programs that will do it on the fly? Much quicker...

I did not know that such a program existed. What is it called? WBFS does not seem to have the capability to rip from disc.

From http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=148398

I used it to transfer over a hundred burned game backups to WBFS with no problem. Some real small games were literally done in seconds, while most took around 5-8 minutes each. You run the wwbfs.exe, point the DVD drive box to your DVD drive, the USBdrv1 to your WBFS drive and put a game backup into your DVD drive and click the LOAD button. After the game info displays, click on the box with arrows next to the info pointing to your WBFS drive to transfer the game over. I don't remember if you have to click on the game info first or not, I don't think so, but I know you'll get a pop-up box, just click YES and it'll do its thing.

There're probably others that do the same thing, but this worked for me and I didn't bother looking further. This other one sounds like it would too http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=149624 but I've not used it...

Good luck and enjoy the time saved!

Alright! I came home and, as promissed, here is the CODE DUMP I get when I attempt to download covers.

STACK DUMP:

80ab24cc --> 80ac1c10 --> 80ab2a84 --> 80a251ac

CODE DUMP:

80ab24cc: 8124FFFC 81630000 20E9FFF8 7D443A14
80ab24dc: 7F8A5840 419C0010 80C30004 7F8A3040
80ab24ec: 409D0024 38000000 2C080000 41820010

I have some covers already I downloaded from the pack and added via PC, but can't download via Wii. I have Wi-Fi, so I'm not using USB LAN Adapter.
3.2u, last update from SSBB (dual-layer update), cIOS rev9.

If any more information is needed, just tell me.

Thanks!

Here is the latest r327 but I included a toggle button to turn the menu music on and off. You just have to click the speaker icon to toggle the menu music! The icon is blue when the music is on and gray when the music is off. Works perfectly!
I also made it so the menu music will shut off while you are adding a game so you won't have to listen to it the entire time. The music then turns back on when the add is complete!

The source code and a compiled dol and elf are included:

Yeah good a menu music.

Nice ,works perfectly thanks a lot for your menu music

For the record I installed 15 games in a row without a freeze. Also, SSBB works fine for me (NTSC - full version). Cover download works perfect too (over wireless).

Download Version 1.0 (with icon.png and meta.xml)
HBC pack:USB Loader GX V 1.0 (r316).rar
WAD pack:Channel WAD amd Forwarder WAD

and/or the latest revision (alpha/beta/whatever)
r327.dol

OR
check the site http://tinyurl.com/USBLoaderGX
where everything plus elfs go

(plz read first post or help page at site before asking)

Changes since v1.0 (316)

327:ÂÂÂÂ *Changed back to old install function. This one never freezes or codedumps (i hope so).
326:ÂÂÂÂ Change the scrollbar behavior based on the pagesize in theme.
325:ÂÂÂÂ *Now if no HDD is found at startup you will be asked if you want to retry 30secs
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ with the cIOS of your choice or return to WiiMenu.
324:ÂÂÂÂ fixedÂÂissue255 
323:ÂÂÂÂ Changed prototype for OnScreenKeyboard. It now accepts minimum entry length to
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ keep people from removing any part of "SD:/" and crashing when trying to download.
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ Also added clear button to delete all text back to the set minimum.
322:ÂÂÂÂ *Fixed BUG: cIOS selected in the GameSettings wasnt loaded before gamestart! Now
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ it should work fine and fix some freezer inside games. ( issue 217 , 227)
321:ÂÂÂÂ Set up 3rd tab in settings screen for any other settings.ÂÂAdded new images for tabs.(NeoRame).
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ Did some housekeeping with the code.
320:ÂÂÂÂ Fixed thi Install-Bug ... i think
319:ÂÂÂÂ *change the keyboard graphics for more wii-ish look
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ *delete keyboard_mediumkey_over.png and keyboard_largekey_over.png
318:ÂÂÂÂ Change themes right when theme path is altered.ÂÂNot really tested, but it should work.
317:ÂÂÂÂ Fixed the scrollbar better with the cursor when dragging it.
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ Tested fine with 30, 60, 150, and 200 in the gamelist.

People who cant load the loader or having some troubles
they should try to use .ELF
since .ELF is a lot more accurate in processing code​

About the Config files.
I guess the best solution is
sd:/config/usbloadergx/config.cfg
.../games.cfg
.../titels.txt

Because other apps use the sd:/config folder too.
So i only have to backup one folder or delete one if i want to copy my apps for a friend.
And i know dont touch/delete this folder.

And in the future, if other developer do the same with there config files, there will be no questions like "where are the config files". ^^

??

and if config's files are in
app/usbloadergx/ or
app/usbloadergx/config/

more easy to backup only One directory : apps/usbloadergx ....

I have a lot of homebrew apps and i have only one (sd explorer) using config on the root

 

[starstremr]

thanks for fixing the scrollbar when you change the page size but can we get text adjustment also so that the game names don't run past the scroll bar?

 

[giantpune]

@starstremr

Done sucka! use "maxcharacters = penislength" in theme.txt where penislength is the number of characters that show up BEFORE "..." for long names. So of you put "maxcharacters = 5", it checks to see if the title is less than 8. If this is true, the title is used. If the title is over 8, the first 5 characters and then "..." is put. So in your themes, use a number 3 smaller than the number of capital "W" it takes to fill the gamelist.

Can you release the forwarder dol and/or source code?
Here you go:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PGA04UHG
Might not be the best solution since i made it in like 20mins from an old forwarder source i did a long time ago.
If you got a forwarder that loads faster you are welcome to send us the source

Well this can be done noprob. Ok people tell me if you want that idea OR what i think is a better solution is just:

SD:/config/GXGlobal.cfg
SD:/config/GXGames.cfg
SD:/config/GXThemes.cfg
SD:/config/titles.txt

Nah this is the worst solution because not everyone wants to have the dol inside /apps/usbloadergx/. Think about those who are using Channel for example.
