Hacking USB Loader GX

[FvKey]

Hi, just a question... If I boot a game trough USB-Loader and ingame decided to reset the game, I go directly to the WII-Menu. How is this avoided? Because now when I want to restart a game or go back to the main menu I have to start the game again trough UBB-Loader.

DO YOU HAVE ANY GAME THAT TAKES YOU TO SOMEWHERE OTHER THAN THE WII MENU? WTF WITH THIS NONSENCE?

Chill out, BlindDude. I understand ted. If I press Home when I play a game, then press reset it should reset the game not the wii!

This issue exists since usb loader 1.0.

 

[Oops]

The wiki was updated with how to set up your own ThemeSettings:

= Introduction =

In order to be able to use your theme, you need to have a config.txt in your SD card root to point to the theme folder.

If your wii is using 16:9 settings, in config.txt, put the following line:
wtheme_path = SD:/mytheme/ (or the theme folder you use)

If your wii is using 4:3 settings, in config.txt, put the following line:
theme_path = SD:/mytheme/ (or the theme folder you use)


= Details =

* Currently, in your theme folder, you could put *background.png*, *bg_options.png* and your theme setting file (*theme.txt*)
* background.png is the loader's main background
* bg_options.png is the background of selection game list
* theme.txt is the place you put the settings of the theme

= Options of theme.txt

* show_id = 0 [1] (0 means don't show game id, 1 means show game id)
* id_coords = x, y (x, y is the coordinate of game id you want to put)
* gamelist_coords = x, y, w, h (x, y is the coordinate of your game list. w, h is the width and height of your game list)
* covers_coords = x, y (x, y is the coordinate of your cover art)

perfect.. Thanks.

Any wiki for the config.txt would be nice also ! Please.

Do not download the one in the first post as it wouldnt display my properly placed/sized/named box arts or cd covers
R125 Works great though.

 

[BlindDude]

Im sorry man... I didnt even know you could do that... I click the home button and always go back to wii menu.. Didnt know about reset... BlindDude

Hi all, is it possible in config.txt to increase the number of games (lines) presented in the screen ? I tried to modify the height of gamelist_coords but I have always "only" 9 displayed games.

heres rev120 with my themes,i made a channel for "greywave"

download greywave
download greywave channel

download silverline-beta2

Thx again jussi, i would make this my default for sure.
- Wouldn't it be much easier to just upload the backgrounds used, to implement it through the custom theme settings? Cause it may be tough compiling it all over all the time

 

[Kosaic]

Rev 125 has all kinds of issues for me ... but the big one is the text list of games is all screwy for the first 20 games or so ....

Feature Request - Turn off the damn elevator music while I'm scrolling the list of games ... that is annoying

Looking forward to a stable version some day.

@RC89 - You should contribute a them as a base for the dev team .... Your's are hands down 1000 times better looking

 

[FvKey]

can someone upload R125 to something besides Megaupload, i am having trouble loading it up.
Thanks in advance

There you go.

For those that wanted the default video mode to be "systemdefault" instead of "discdefault"

in main.cpp (around line 80)
change:

void
DefaultSettings()
{
ÂÂÂÂSettings.video = discdefault;
ÂÂÂÂSettings.vpatch = off;
ÂÂÂÂSettings.language = ConsoleLangDefault;
ÂÂÂÂSettings.ocarina = off;
}

to this:

void
DefaultSettings()
{
ÂÂÂÂSettings.video = systemdefault;
ÂÂÂÂSettings.vpatch = off;
ÂÂÂÂSettings.language = ConsoleLangDefault;
ÂÂÂÂSettings.ocarina = off;
}

I'll test in a few, but that should work

For those of us that have smart kid could we an option in the un/lock menu that says

config file encoded (Y/N)?

If the file is encoded it will try to decode it

We can use something simple like base64

 

[biggzsizzle]

For those that wanted the video mode "systemdefault" to be the default instead of "discdefault", just do change this:

in main.cpp

void DefaultSettings()
{
ÂÂÂÂSettings.video = discdefault;
ÂÂÂÂSettings.vpatch = off;
ÂÂÂÂSettings.language = ConsoleLangDefault;
ÂÂÂÂSettings.ocarina = off;
}

to this:

void DefaultSettings()
{
ÂÂÂÂSettings.video = systemdefault;
ÂÂÂÂSettings.vpatch = off;
ÂÂÂÂSettings.language = ConsoleLangDefault;
ÂÂÂÂSettings.ocarina = off;
}

I'll test in a few, but that should work

Dude if you could get me a copy of that recompiled, with a channel wad,...I'll hook you up with my sister!

hey mates,

in rev120 my sdcard was not recognized after USB-Device...
i needed to push RETRY and the covers were shown !

NOW in rev125:
the sdcard-prompt doesn´t appear, but it seems the card isn´t recognized... NO COVERS anymore :-(

 

[jeanrmarques]

DOL for rev127 tweaked for default videomode as "systemdefault" - FIXED (EDIT: the tweak created a problem in the menu settings, ive just fixed it, the new dol should work fine)

Changelog:
* Added new Estimate Game Size function to WBFS
* Added check free space before install and compare with gamesize before
installing a game
* Added gamesize being displayed during installation
