What do you mean ... from the system menu... the forwared is also on the system menu or am I wrong.

What is the difference between the forwarder and the wad version. The forwarder is a wad right?

well, i've had a forwarder in place for a month or so, installed as a wad, so i didnt have to get at gx via the hbc menu - last night i installed whatever the latest version was, and it didn't ask me the usual 'update dol update all?' question, and after it was finished installing, i had two gx channels on my menu. i used wad manager to uninstall the old one, leaving me only the newest, most recently installed channel.

Oh oke... I understand now !

Can the game "Wii Sports Resort with Wii MotionPlus" be played with the loader without upgrading to 4.1

Yes it can, running 3.3E, works fine with just the 002 fix enabled after doing the alt.dol first video instruction trick.


What is the alt.dol first viedo trick ?

1)Run the game with alt. dol enabled
2)Watch the vids
3)It will crash -> reboot
4)Boot the game without alt. dol and play the rest of the game

Oke many thanx. Can I use the alt.dol from dvd option or do I put the alt.dol on the USB HDD?

Never tried, but I think both work

your problem might be the update_path = USB:/apps/usbloader_gx/
it should be update_path = USB://apps/usbloader_gx/

 

[tj_cool]

your problem might be the update_path = USB:/apps/usbloader_gx/
it should be update_path = USB://apps/usbloader_gx/

its only 1 / for mine
did you check yours?

Hey!
I've updated USB Loader GX to rev633. Now, Ocarina isn't working anymore...
I don't think there is a problem with my .gct files because it was still working before I've updated.
All I get is a black screen and it happens with all my games using .gct cheats.
Have you guys the same problem?

 

[Snoozer]

So guys...my courosity is grown much enough...i can't stand the fact I'm not knowing whats so cool about having all the freaking stuff on my hdd. Please someone tell me. Whats the point about struggling around with the hdd instead of loading fine and smooth from the SD?

updating itself with SD is so easy:
pulling out the SD card from the wii,
walking over to my pc,
put it in,
compiling newest revision [looking for tutorial? google devkitpro and use your brain! can't do it? just wait for D34DL1N3R

]
copy the dol on the SD [backup old one first!]
moonwalk back to the Wii [WITH the SD]
and finally: have fun!

justed checked and it is 1 / me mine, my bad

dol from disc works perfectly

how does the loader know to look too my hdd for the GXGlobal.cfg file? is there somthing else i have to change to make it look to my HDD?

im guessing the reason it wont load is because its not finding the GXGlobal.cfg file. does that sound right?

 

[giantpune]

because it is 1 bad ass mo-fo. it just knows.

I have the similar problem, it simply refuse to load from the USB. I was thinking is it possible that the harddisk is not mounting fast enough for the forwarder to find the apps? I suspect this as the HBC cannot see the apps on USB after launch (without SD) unless I do a reload. Anyone can compile the forwarder with a wait time say 2-3s after mounting USB or is there already a wait time?

Have you set the parition fat32, primary AND active?

 

[giantpune]

try this http://www.mediafire.com/?rvfiqfoniyz
it is the forwarder dol & channel. it goes like this...
draw the splash screen, init SD, init USB, wait 5 seconds, start looking for the config, try lo load a dol based on what it found when looking for the config.

if the dol here works for you then the wad should works also, as they are the same thing

Yes partition is fat32 primary and active. If I use HBC to launch the loader from USB (ie SD is taken out), it works alright. But as I mentioned HBC will only see the apps folder in USB after I do a reload. BTW I am using Imation Apollo 500GB 2.5" hard-disk. I have also tried cIOS rev10/12/13a, all the same result.

 

[pepxl]

if its not finding the config on the USB that means you till have the config file on the SD and its clashing try deleting it i had that problem when testing but still sticking to SD it easier for updating manual

it may work for you
