Hacking USB Loader GX

[fuxxi]

It might take a few moments.
I had a screen with just the background file in gx and no buttons at all.
after a few moments a box popped up asking me me to choose a fat partition

not working.. if i i switch to cios 222 in gx it keeps saying no usb device found

?????

Cfg loader does detect FAT partitions with wrong ID (eg. FF), GX does not, is it possible do implement this feature?
You may ask why. Well, if you use your HDD at the Wii and X360 it's the easiest to format it to fat and hfs+ (because of movies bigger than 4gb). But if you have a FAT partition on the disc the xbox won't detect the HFS+ partition. So I changed the FAT partition type to FF, OS X still mounts it as FAT, cfg loader runs the games and the xbox opens the HFS+ partiton. Just GX can't use the partition.

Im not exactly sure what You mean about the IDs (eg. FF) but neither gx nor cfg usb loader detect my usb stick.. i formatted the stick with Wii Backup Manager 0.24r2, is anything wrong with that?

Every partition type (maybe except wbfs) has a specific ID at the beginning of the hard drive.
FAT has 0B, NTFS has 07, Linux has 83. If you change the ID of a fat partition to anything Windows can't read (e.g. FF or even 83) it won't detect the drive. So my Xbox doesn't detect the drive too and uses my HFS partition instead. I don't think that my request won't help you with your problem if it get's accepted.

Thanks for Your answer. Indeed, it doesnt help. But i fixxed my problem anyway.

Switched the stick and formatted the new one with Windows. Copied NSMB to the fat32 wbfs folder and voila, working like a charme.

Its working with both now, GX and CFG Loader.

how come when i use FAT, and use wiitdb to name the files (to allow the boot up to be faster), i cant rename the game titles ? i can change it all i want but the wiitdb will always override my change... im pretty sure i was able to override it in the old wbfs format .. im using the latest r842 dol btw..

readmiiTitles from XML --- Choose if you want to ignore the titles stored on the xml file (in wiitdb.zip) and use the ones stored on the WBFS.

 

[GolfDude]

in the newest rev 842, it only says titles from wiitdb.. it doesnt give an XML option anymore..

 

[wrettcaughn]

Title renaming has not been implemented for .wbfs files from FAT32. If you previously renamed a game before converting it from iso to .wbfs then it should keep that name. GX is not able to do the renaming on a FAT32 partition, only on a WBFS partition.

The PC app that's out there that handles both WBFS and FAT32 partitions may have an option to rename a .wbfs file.

 

[tj_cool]

Sorry, should've marked it better

Titles from XMLwiitdb --- Choose if you want to ignore the titles stored on the xml file (in wiitdb.zip) and use the ones stored on the WBFS.

(being wbfs partition, not wbfs file)

 

[wrettcaughn]

Try renaming your .wbfs files via PC with this app and report back to us to let everyone know if it works.

Thanks

What do you think i did in Rev841

?

Should be working now.

 

[GolfDude]

it didnt work.. b/c i went to rev 842.. tried to rename a game and when it reloaded it stayed the same, and didnt use my change..

 

[dimok]

Well than it must be the title from the wiitdb that is overriding the name. This would also be on the old WBFS system. There is an option to disable it. The rename works for sure because i tested it and it is renaming the discheader in the .wbfs file directly changing the gametitle there.

My mistake

I guess that's what happens when you stop checking the source changes everyday

Same issue with revision 842. If I click select, it displays a list box with the only one
FAT partition. After selection, code dump.

I've done some searching in this thread and had no luck.

To explain, running 4.2 SM, updated to lasted HBC, running the latest channeled version that i installed on Wad Manager 1.5. The channel worked prior to the update (blame my roommate for the update) but now it begins to boot and i see the (loading) graphic, and it pauses for a few seconds before crashing out (i assume that's called a code dump when it goes to a lot of lines of text.) IO know i have installed cios222/3.

I apologize for having to ask so bluntly but i am at my ropes end and have tried to search but gotten no where.

reinstall 222 using rev 4

 

[Expolaris]

Same results after installing rev4 of 222 =(.

 

[XFlak]

ru sure its installed properly? Because a 4.2 update will stub that IOS, and u need to delete the stubbed version in order to install v4
