Hacking USB Loader GX

[Sportsmaniac1322]

I suggested in the issues page for an option to turn tool tips on or off. In my case I would want it off because it conflicts with my theme. Does anyone else think that's a good idea?

What is a compiled DOL? What does it do that a regular DOL won't?

sounds good to me.

I suggested the unlock code thing like 50 some pages ago lol

A compiled DOL is just the product of when somebody took the source code and compiled it with DevKitPro.

It is a regular DOL. DOL's have to be compiled from the source code.

You have to compile source to a dol. Then the dol is called "compiled DOL".

In the Neon-Blue theme (Forced Widescreen) with Rev 184, I see this Empty cartoon bubble when I hover over the Wii icon (send back to Main menu). Is that for tool tips? If so, I agree with SportsManiac in the option to remove tooltips!

Yes, i am planning to do that.

Since the tooltip was just out today, i haven't had a chance to have an option to turn it off in theme.txt yet. Stay tuned, i will add it tonight.

new config option is out: cover_path and disc_path. I will edit the wiki page later

For several days I have been creating a series of GIT repository to house the source of most of my applications Wii, so that everyone can access the code and collaborate with their own modifications or take parts of code to use in their own applications.

The source code for all applications is published under the "GNU General Public License v2" (GPLv2).

Sounds good

. Here's a compiled DOL for rev185: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=MBTM9Z0S. Finally got the cover and disc paths

if I set the boot.dol folder I'll force you to use that specified folder and you can't rename it. Also the config folder only has config.txt and titles.txt. So if one of them is with the boot.dol why not the other also.
You may have misunderstood me. I'm not asking you to hardcode the "boot.dol" location. I'm asking that you reference the booting location, by using a relative call, like "./", when you look for the "config.txt" file. From there, you can use the "config.txt" file to specify the location of all other locations (see example below).

SAMPLE "config.txt" FILE:
CODE########################################
##ÂÂSample "config.txt" file.ÂÂDefaults are denoted by "[]"ÂÂAll lines starting with "#" are not parsed by the loader.
########################################

##ÂÂgodmode = [0], 1ÂÂ--ÂÂWhen set to "0", "godmode" is OFF.
##ÂÂÂÂÂÂWhen OFF, unlock/lock codes must be entered to add/remove games and parental controls may be used.
godmode = 0

## unlock_code = [ab121b]ÂÂ--ÂÂSet a custom unlock/lock code.ÂÂCode must be LESS THAN 19 characters.
unlock_code = ab121b

##ÂÂparentalcontrol = [0], 1, 2, 3ÂÂ--ÂÂIf "godmode" is ON, "parentalcontrol" will be ignored.
#ÂÂÂÂ0 => Turn off parental control
#ÂÂÂÂ1 => Only allow games with 0 to show up (in titles.txt)
#ÂÂÂÂ2 => Only allow games with 0 or 1 to show up (in titles.txt)
#ÂÂÂÂ3 => Only allow games with 0 or 1 or 2 to show up (in titles.txt)ÂÂ
parentalcontrol = 0

##ÂÂtheme_path = [SD:/apps/usbloader/theme/]ÂÂ--ÂÂSets the theme folder path for 4:3.ÂÂRemember to put "/" at the end of the path.
##ÂÂÂÂÂÂIf you are using 16:9, use "wtheme_path" instead.
theme_path = SD:/apps/usbloader/theme/

##ÂÂwtheme_path = [SD:/apps/usbloader/wtheme/]ÂÂ--ÂÂSets the theme folder path for 16:9.ÂÂRemember to put "/" at the end of the path.
##ÂÂÂÂÂÂIf you are using 4:3, use "theme_path" instead.
wtheme_path = SD:/apps/usbloader/wtheme/

##ÂÂwidescreen = [0], 1ÂÂ--ÂÂWhen set to 1, the loader will force 16:9 mode. When set to 0, the loader will force 4:3 mode.
widescreen = 0

##ÂÂcustom_titles = [SD:/apps/usbloader/titles/]ÂÂ--ÂÂSets the custom titles file name and location.ÂÂRemember to put "/" at the end of the path.
custom_titles = SD:/apps/usbloader/titles/

##ÂÂshow_tooltip = 0, [1]ÂÂ--ÂÂSets whether the button tooltips are shown.ÂÂ0=Off and 1=On.
show_tooltip = 1

##ÂÂcovers_path = [SD:/apps/usbloader/images/covers/]ÂÂ--ÂÂSets the location of the cover art images.ÂÂRemember to put "/" at the end of the path.
covers_path = SD:/apps/usbloader/images/covers/

##ÂÂdiscs_path = [SD:/apps/usbloader/images/discs/]ÂÂ--ÂÂSets the location of the disc images.ÂÂRemember to put "/" at the end of the path.
discs_path = SD:/apps/usbloader/images/discs/

Remember... The sample file above is only a possible EXAMPLE.



Thanks, for any consideration of my request.

Should rename this loader to USBloaderGX

Should rename this loader to USBloaderGX

What does GX stand for? I see it on some emulators.

show_tooltip is added

 

[RavRob]

How do I use the Titles.txt? It doesn't seem to rename my games correctly. Where do I place it?

 

[TiMeBoMb4u2]

show_tooltip is added

"hungyip84"... If you want to use my sample "config.txt" file on the Wiki, I wouldn't mind!

 

[BlackEnigma]

I'm missing help text. When I hover over the Wii button I just get a blank bubble.

I am able to see the ones for Install a Game, Settings, and Power off the Wii.

Is it just me?

What does GX stand for? I see it on some emulators.

"libwiigui is a GUI library for the Wii, created to help structure the design of a complicated GUI interface, and to enable an author to create a sophisticated, feature-rich GUI. It was originally conceived and written after I started to design a GUI for Snes9x GX, and found libwiisprite and GRRLIB inadequate for the purpose. It uses GX for drawing, and makes use of PNGU for displaying images and FreeTypeGX for text. It was designed to be flexible and is easy to modify - don't be afraid to change the way it works or expand it to suit your GUI's purposes! If you do, and you think your changes might benefit others, please share them so they might be added to the project!"

It is based on that it libwiigui uses GX for drawing so tantric slapped it on all his new emus. Since this loader uses libwiigui, why not adopt the same convention. UsbLoaderGx or LoaderGX sounds good to me. add disc loading and it's the best loader there is.

Currently, the "titles.txt" must go in the "config" folder.
HOPEFULLY, this will be a configurable option, in the near future!!

SAMPLE "titles.txt" file:
CODERVBE = Alvin And The Chipmunks
RIEP = American Idol Encore
RMFE = AMF Bowling Pinbusters!

Hope this helps!

In your sample "config.txt", show_tooltip should be moved to theme.txt.
