Hacking USB Loader GX

[vettacossx]

Wow, I think I'll come back in about a week and see how many hundreds of revs there will be then, lol.

lol i know what you mean bro

but keep in mind many of them are a "gift"

look at the very first post for REAL DOL RELEASES and the most recent stable builds will be the ones cyrex posts

jI just look on his first post once a night b4 bed for the new update

but really its very usable and functional already so having "neoshizza" on the task as well is just a bonus to add to the basis dimok,nixx,cyrex,giantpune and others have created.

its a real dream app for alot of us with less than perfect dvd drives within our consoles!

i got this first result for google i dont know if thats the referenced libpng but the site name reflects such

http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/pngcode.html

Yeah, I was actually looking for something wii related. I pulled the libpng git, but it doesn't have pngwriter. It seems pngwriter is a separate project in itself that uses libpng. I found it over here: http://pngwriter.sourceforge.net/.

Random thought: wouldn't it be funny if we called this loader "Revolution". I figure if Nintendo couldn't stick with the name, we may as well take it.

(or we could adapt it to Revoloader)

Here is a USB Loader GUI r142 WAD that is tweaked a little.
Changes:
New and better Menu music.
Changed lock password for childproof options from AB121B to ab121b
Removed the button to return to the HBC, now it only has Wii Menu and Back.
Changed the default video setting from Disc Default to System Default.

Enjoy!

Ordinarilly I'd say the same thing, on the off chance that the graphics card on the Wii went out and you had to send it to nintendo. Having any backup related stuff is a no-no, as most companies equate backups with piracy. However, at least with Nintendo of Europe, this doesn't even matter: http://hackmii.com/2009/04/warranty/#more-536 Not only does having HBC or any other unauthorized software void your warranty entirely (which itself is dumb if the software is entirely unrelated, such as with a hardware failure) but it causes an http://hackmii.com/2009/04/warranty/#more-536additional charge to your service://http://hackmii.com/2009/04/warranty...to your service. The comment by marcan is really telling. So yeah, I guess it doesn't matter anymore... install whatever you want whereever you want. If a wad is more convienient than launching from SD, do that, because you're not saving yourself any trouble (asside from possible banner brick).

Did anyone see that the wii image site has changed.

http://www.theotherzone.com/wii

I went ahead and uploaded the images to my web site if you need them.

Box covers: http://www.zemaroo.com/wii/160x224/

CD covers: http://www.zemaroo.com/wii/disc/160x160/

 

[masamunecyrus]

Do you have the source for the boot.dol and the dol loader? If so, use exec. Like this:


forwarder.dol

int main(int args, char *argv[])
{
ÂÂchar* test = "Hello";

ÂÂexecl("sd:/apps/usbloader/boot.dol","sd:/apps/usbloader/boot.dol", test, "world!");
ÂÂreturn;
}

This would be equivalent to doing sd:/apps/usbloader/boot.dol hello word. If you wanted more parameters, just add more commas and more strings.

and

boot.dol
CODEint main(int args, char *argv[])
{
ÂÂ if(args > 0) {
ÂÂÂÂÂÂprintf("my name is: %s\n",argv[0])
ÂÂ }
ÂÂ printf("I was passed\n");
ÂÂ if(args > 1){
ÂÂÂÂÂÂfor(i=1;i

you missed the trailing / so the server never looked for the index file under the wii folder try

http://www.theotherzone.com/wii/

and if that doesnt work try

http://www.theotherzone.com/wii/index.php

Sorry if this is a noob question. Can anyone tell me what kind of font I can use here to compile the loader? I tried to use different fonts, some of them works but the game list cannot show properly, and some evenly can open the Loader. Thanks in advance.

hi @ all,

I have a Problem. I Use the HD-Forwarder and the latest USBloaderGui. My config looks :

wtheme_path = SD:/apps/usbloader/theme/

when I start the Loader, I have this nice theme on my WideScreen LCD

. But I have no Covers on my Screen, I have all my Covers and Disc Images in the right place. When I use the default LoaderGUi, without t he Theme and the config.txt, I have all my Covers. Is something wrog with my config.txt, is there anything missing ?
if you have, delete the show_id =0 from the theme.txt


No I doesnt delete anything, and I doesnt have a "wimages" folder on my SD-Card. I only followed this Guide, from fozzieb´s Mod of adam

ok here is a mod of adam_the_1st' gui mod as a theme,

Theme

i put it in my sd:/apps/usbloader/ folder

config txt

theme_path = SD:/apps/usbloader/theme/

or for 16:9

wtheme_path = SD:/apps/usbloader/theme/

you can move the buttons by looking at the theme.txt

have a play.

Cheers.

...can please anyone help me out. I only have this line in my config.txt

CODE

wtheme_path = SD:/apps/usbloader/theme/[/quote]

can please anyone paste a proper config.txt, with widescreen support, and where can I get these "wimages". I use the "mod of adam_the_1st' gui" from fozzieb.

I like anyone of those names. I think there should be a poll for the names. GWii is one I still like.

 

[priapism]

is there a way to save the settings?

i don't like the game ID showing so i turn it off in settings. the next time a go into the loader the game ID is showing again. is there a way to keep it off?

hey i wanted to ask that my wii is downstairs and i use external hdd and every time if i have a backup i have to connect the HDD to my computer so is there gonna be a way where i can put the game in my usb and transfer it to ext HDD in the wii instead of pluging it out ...taking it upstairs...putting the game...and then putting it back....did you guys get what I'm trying to say......

Yes, the Wii itself can rip the games to HDD too


QUOTE(cyrex @ Apr 23 2009, 10:17 PM)

Yep i know what you mean. Just insert the disk of your game to the wii and install it directly to the hdd via the loader. So you even save time to create a backup of the original game on your computer and transfer it back to the wbfs drive

.

No i mean like i put the game in my 4Gb USB from my computer then connect my USB and External HDD to wii and transfer the file from USB to the HDD through wii....
