I noticed something about the config.txt. Themes will only work if you have it listed as:

wtheme_path = SD:/theme/

You can change the theme's location but you cant use theme_path. When i take the "W" away which is suppose to be widescreen then the theme wont work. Also I tried putting my theme in the images folder and because i have so many images in there that it creates lag when displaying any theme. less lag if its outside the images folder.

Set default video to System Default
Changed menu music to better menu music
Changed parental lock from AB121B to ab121b

When Downloadable Covers gets re-implemented back into the loader.... will it be for 3D or Standard covers? Also... will it also download the disc art covers too?

Need a little help. My dvd covers are not showing up. The box art is and my theme works. I have the dvd covers in a sub folder called Disc in the same dir as the box art. I was also wondering what a config file should look like.

Thanks

sd:/images/disc

sorry about that, you are right! I just tried to put the images together quick in photoshop so you could get the idea.

I made a forwarder and a channel for this App now. I don't have a screenshot, the only camera i have is a Blackberry, i will maybe put one up tonight. If someone tries it they could send me the link.

I have 2 files in the archive.
Wii LoadedF.wad is a forwarder and goes to sd:\apps\usbloader
Wii LoadedL.wad is straight channel build of SVN 149 i believe.

Finally i tested this numerous times on my Wii, but i take no responsibility for anything that happens from using it.


Note: if the loader ever gets named i will change the Text on my channels. I will also update the straight channel one each day.

In case you wanted to see what it looks like. Bad quality i know i did it with my blackberry, but it might let people see.

for those having trouble with images, here's my setup:

L:\apps\usbloader
L:\images (put all images here)
L:\images\disc (put all disc images here)
L:\config\config.txt
L:\config\titles.txt
L:\theme

-In my config.txt i have one line: wtheme_path = SD:/theme/
*tip - for some reason if you use theme_path instead of wtheme_path, your theme will not show up! I also edit any theme i download and remove one line from the theme.txt which is: show_id = 1. It causes problems so i remove it.
*tip - make sure your theme folder has all the right files in it, including the theme.txt.
-dont forget to make the "config" folder in the root of your memory card.
-under usbloader i have 3 files: boot.dol, icon.png, & meta.mxl
-make sure everything is lowercase
-obviously L is just my sd card drive letter, yours will be different
-depending on the loader you choose, you either use 3D art or regular art, if the loader is using regular art, you CANT use 3D art. 3D art will be the size of 176 x 228 and filename is 6 letters long e.g. - R2WPA4.png, regular art is 160 x 224. disc art is 160 x 160 and filename is 3 letters long. e.g. - R2A.png

I know you can set things up differently like having 3 letters for image covers, but this is what i did and for those that may need some help to get started. good luck and enjoy testing out this awesome loader!!

you cant use that config.txt anymore. thats for the ultimate usb loader not for the usb loader gui. You just really need one line in you config.txt which is:

wtheme_path = SD:/theme/

rev153 DOL (tweaked)

Tweaks:
Code:
+Default video mode set to "System Default"

Changelog (since rev152):
Code:
+small fix for settings
+childproof password now is: ab121b

Now the only tweak in the dols im compiling is the video mode one

which is basically changing in main.cpp, line 81:
this
Code:
Settings.video = discdefault;
to
Code:
Settings.video = systemdefault;

The other tweaks I was doing are pretty much not needed now, since the current rev's have the password in lowercase, the 'Force NTSC' option, and the wii system menu music as BG.

it is because the app detects your tv, if you have a widescreen tc=v it will ignore the theme_path and automatically use wtheme_path instead
