Hacking USB Loader GX

[dope_X]

is in the newest version the deletebug-fix implemented?

 

[pretender13]

Great work on this loader so far, but.
Is it possible to implement a option in config.txt to enable / disable auto download of covers.
ever since this feature has been implemented i can no longer launch this loader.
have tried doing a connection test before loading the loader which tests fine, but all is does is black screens and just goes back to HBC.

TIA

I've been keeping track of the old Ultimate thread and started looking at this one too. Great to see that people are taking to to try new things and refine and challenge new ideas. This is how ventures and companies are made.

Now. something that I would have loved to have seen in the older Ultimate Loader ad hopefully will see in the new one. It is something stupid and small, but would help in the long run.

I have a NTSC system and setup. It would be nice to see on the loader if a game shows up as an NTSC or PAL game. So many times I can't remember a PAL game and try to load it and then remembered that it had to be patched. I know you can lock it in place after initial loading, but it would be nice to see maybe next to the GameID (RVZP52) PAL somewhere.

Just a suggestion.

Can't you just rename the titles so they come up as PAL, NTSC or whatever in the title.txt. And also if you can see the game IDs you can just look at the fourth digit in the game ID to figure out the region.

Can you post config.txt and title.txt. I can not find them in first post. Thanks.

it is set up to get 160x224 boxart. no resize needed

I take it you are referring to the autodownload from theotherzone.com. It seems the box arts in that site is 160X(>224). Are you saying that the boot file will resize those png files automatically or will pull in files already formatted to 160X224?

THE PLACE WHERE THE PROGRAM GETS THE IMAGE RESIZES IT BEFORE IT REACHES YOUR WIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Aehm...you know that the P in RVZP52 stands for the Region? P=PAL, E=NTSC, I think...it would be possible to code something, that it looks in the ID, and then display things...the ID contains the Region, the Publisher and the Shortname of the game...so it would be possible that it shows the Region and the publisher, all from the ID..until then, just watch at the freaking ID, and you're fine...

correct.

It is in set in the loader to only get 160x224 images. look at the url...
CODEchar imgPath[30];
char URLFile[50];
sprintf(URLFile,"http://www.theotherzone.com/wii/resize/%s/160/224/%s.png",region,filename);
sprintf(imgPath,"/images/%s.png",filenameshort);

What is folder path for the cover images?

this project seems to be moving strong. i really want to try this out... i am having trouble with a few things. what is in the config.txt? and where can i find titles.txt? is there an icon.png for homebrew channel?

A newbie with more wish list....

If not an option to save settings for each game, it would be nice to save changes to the settings as default settings. Right now, the settings change after I change them and reboot.

I don't know about config.txt but here is a title.txt : http://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/index.php/USB_Loader_titles.txt

Why do you need these files?? I am using this loader and never needed these files... I needed them for the Ultimate Loader but not this

Its on the first post of this topic

Images folder on the root of the sd card for cover art must be 160 x 224
cd covers go in folder called disc inside images folder.

Config.txt files are not currently used.

 

[wiistarter]

It tells you on the first page...

•Boxart images need a resolution of 160x224 and must be place in SDRoot:/images/
•DVD covers image need a resolution of 160x160 and must be placed in SDRoot:/images/disc/
•DVD and Boxart images must both named like this RUUXEP.png for example (6digit GameID) or 3digit GameID or it loads the default.•DVD covers should be centered with a transparent background for better look.

I'm using rev 109 and I'm having problems with Animal Crossing freezing up on me, and no it's not usbhd spin down issue, I've set it to use powersave after 4½ hours. Didn't have this problem with the ultimate usbloader 7.x. I started a new game and it froze when I was going upstairs to save, the image froze just as the black circle was getting small, which I'm guessing is when it was supposed to load data.

Other than that, I love this, and I really love that all the talented ultimate usbloader coders joined in!

This is why:

added custom background options: Inside config.txt (which sits in your boot.dol directory), put the line theme_path = "yourpath" or wtheme_path = "yourpath" (if you are using widescreen) (for example, theme_path = "SD:/mytheme/") then put "background.png" inside "yourpath" (the folder).

everyone thought that needs a config.txt to work.

is there any solution about the black screen problem?
I have read that other users have it but I don't find a solution...

the solution was stated a couple of posts down saying that they were having that problem because of no wifi
enable internet connection

 

[DocZagreus]

it can't be... I have a connection via wifi and, for example, I can download the game covers with the USB Loader Ultimate7
