for this loader you only need a folder in the root of the SD called images SD:/images/
and put all of your covers in there!
these directions are in the very first post of this thread!

@cheatmaster5

They need to be in a folder called images for this loader, sub-folder of discs for the disc images.


SDROOT:/images/discs

That should get things working for you.

Also, Carnival Games Mini Golf? My still says no image after downloading the last update pack.

I like the idea of the settings being configurable, but not ina .txt file. Can't these be put in the settings menu and it creates the txt and modifies it as needed itself? I hate fooling with .txts as I can never get it right.

i am using Darkskin ,cios REV 9, it all works good on this side ,, i put my games from my computer to the hdd , i dont dump them on the hdd using the wii ,
I have a my book Essential edition 2.0 WD 1TB


I am using cios REV 10 so maybe thats why im getting text mixed in with other text with too many installed, it must be related to the cios rev.

I just rolled back to ciosRev9 and it didnt fix the text jumbling up on me.

Also,, GO DIEGO GO works now,, Dont know if it is because of my rollback.. I will go back to rev10 and report back...

Can we use a config file with this loader?

I downloaded a dol from somewhere and it came with a config file,but reading page 1 from this thread said covers had to be in a certain folder.

Can we change that?

Im using this loader,the ultimate loader and the original 1.5 from waninkoko and i have having 3 seperate folders for the same files.

I don't know if this has to be done in the CIOS or if it can be done in USB Loaders code, but something to add to wishlist if possible is to make it work with LAN adapters.

took vettacossx 42 cover disc pack and made them transparent. Also took the gravity disc image he posted and resized it to 160x160 and made it transparent as well. zipped them all up into one .rar file

Should be 43 files in total

If someone beat me to it, I apologize

Should be up to 537 disc art images now

I was wondering outloud if it was possible to transfer game iso's from pc to hdd. How do you go about doing that? So am I to understand that the usb loader will recognize and load the iso?

Ok, did some more testing with rev102. Castlevania Judgement when launched via loader you lose the first controller function. The home key is the only one the game will recognize. If you activate a second mote, it will take all the inputs off of it, even tried a reconnect mote under the config in the home button menu, no dice. Next, the forwarder channel does exit without stack dump when you choose HBC, but does not take you to HBC, takes you to Wii menu.


Lastly, don't know if this is a loader flaw or something else... but if you launch a game and then hit the home key, choose reset, it takes you back to the Wii menu. Does not reset the game, also if you then try to launch the USB loader again to start the game AFTER the reset, core dump. Can't get the loader to launch again until you power off and back on, not even reset button on the Wii will correct it.

I have a feeling that one is unfixable... the disc code tells the Wii how to react, the reset is always going to look for the disc to reboot. When that doesn't match it crashes back to the menu and apparently does not clear memory cache till a power cycle occurs.

Well I guess everyone didn't see this previous post!

Please be so kind and use this thread for cover pack / cover gathering related things. I know you all are doing a good job on gathering and fitting all of the covers for boxart and dvdcovers but it's hard enough for me to keep the first post up to date even without loads of coverpacks in here. Don't get me wrong i really want all of you to continue your good work on the covers but please please please use the separate thread for it. At this point i totally lost track of the coverpacks and don't know who packed what up in which shape etc. I hope you all of you don't get me wrong and know what i'm meaning. Thanks a lot for your support

that was donny's first post in this thread and i havent posted a GFX since actually on ether thread bro
wink.gif
thanks donny i appreciate that work!

(can someone link to the GFX thread http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=150...=0#entry1923363 in the first post if that hasnt been done) so that if by some miracle people read it they will stray on over to the thread giantpune made...

ok STRANGE stuff just happened!

first of all i went to homebrew browser (first time ive been online in days with the wii) i grab a few updates for emulators ect....then leave...

next i load up my usb loader R102 and try to add my animal crossing from a dvd-r backup and it starts to work but then fails with error ret -2 and now NONE of the backups can be installed from anything other than an Original disc (of cource ill just use WBFS tools now)

the part i dont get is I THINK IT EFFECTED MY DVD DRIVE! OR LASER! maybe when ejecting or inserting a game it happened ...but it makes a faint "ticking sound" anyone have an idea what this is? if so PM me im rather worried about it actually ive never got a ret-2 error installing before animal crossing ive tried going from rev to to rev 9 and back same ole result ticking...so i assume whatever happen it effected the laser or dvd drive and im not sure if it was network related or drive related????
