Hacking USB Loader GX

[giantpune]

And I have some suggestions:
1) Add "+" and "-" buttons to scroll games list.

So if we add your idea, we will have 6 ways to scroll this list.

1Up/down on controller
2Left/right
3up/down buttons on the scrollbar
4drag the scrollbar box
5hold B and point at the screen

How many do you think is necessary? I think you should just move your thumb over 2 inches and use the d-pad.

I did like the suggestion about changing to the next disk in the disk screen,,, Still could be done with d-pad IMO... That would be sweet.

Hmm, I would prefer shaking the nunchuk up/down AND wiggeling the mote left/right then it scrolls every second title in reverse alphabetical order and skips every witch is not related to a entry in the titles text with force...........................................................................

hi

I try rev 217 and I find some bug.

*If I want to download cover, a windows say me that I miss 29 file ( I have 29 games) but I have this cover in sd/usbloader/images ( I have change the config.txt) so I think the loader always download in sd/images

*I try nonetheless to download this 29 cover but the loader crash : code dump

Is it possible to change the size of the download cover in the config.txt because I use 144*248 ( nice for a 16/9)

Thanks

Hey.. I just wanted to make note that there are actually 54 different possible contents for each of the themes, whereas the wiki only lists 18. Maybe someone can update it, or someone can make note on the spiffy360 site. Right now, while some do contain more than others, none of the themes contain all possible content. And the only way you would know this is to look at the default theme contents, which isn't readily linked on the spiffy360 site.

Here are all the possible contents, if one isn't used it reverts to the default:

Note: I'm not sure all of these are active... as in the default may be hardwired in and can't be replaced.. but I'm thinking not.

When might there be the ability to live update this loader via the gui/menu? that would be awesome.. Since its still in its infant stages having a new build every day sometimes several times a day this could be a very useful function.

just my .02 cents.

Hope you guys can answer a few questions. I've been using this loader for awhile but is it normal the loader resets its settings every time it re-loads?. The settings don't save for resolution, display,etc.

Secondly, when I use System default for resolution, the loader defaults to 4:3 480i even though my wii system menu is set to widescreen 480p.

This is my config.txt:

godmode = 0
parentalcontrol = 0
wtheme_path = SD:/apps/usbloader/wtheme/
cover_path = SD:/apps/usbloader/images/covers/
disc_path = SD:/apps/usbloader/images/discs/


Lastly, is there to get back to the loader menu in game without soft-booting to the wii menu, then homebrew channel, then the loader again

QUOTE(jono@home @ Apr 30 2009, 03:01 AM) rather than having a button .. have the cover option to download all when you click the cover
Click on the cover i reserved for game informations. Stay tuned. No questions about that or it will be canceled

No big deal for me,, I would rather have all my games show up... I am wondering if the "file browser" has been implemented yet or is it still using the "option browser:?
Thanks
Hungy made one on it's own. It's some sort of optimized/customized optionsbrowser.

QUOTE(TiMeBoMb4u2 @ Apr 30 2009, 05:08 AM) What is the font in the default template?
Thanks!

Horatio, but will be changed in future releases... just didn't had the time to test different fonts on widescreen and normal tvs. As soon as i find a charming one that fits both screen types i'll add it for sure but it's kinda hard work to find a good one for free. Most of the really good fonts cost about 50-180$(if it's a whole pack).

How many do you think is necessary? I think you should just move your thumb over 2 inches and use the d-pad.

I used to use these buttons in the main menu of Wii to scroll channels. So why not to use "+" and "-" here too while they are free now?

[BlindDude]

At least give them new functions..

And thanks for the reply Cyrex.

i was one of the people asking for cover art load instantly, i tried out r213 and experienced the same bug as other people with artifacts or w/e while loading. After trying out new r217, its back to fade but its a much more reasonable speed, so they pop up quickly enough, a nice compromise imo. One thing i noticed is the popup balloon when you mouse over the cover, i believe it says download cover image or something, im not sure because the text balloon is hidden behind the console window. This is with default theme/settings of course.

 

[cyrex]

It will be changed anyway so don't mind it

... just temp. for now.
Btw. could anyone tell me what "GUILgx" is? Seems like it has the same progress our loader has because the revs are always the same.

 

[BlindDude]

New 3D boxarts HERE I think they are nice... They are only useful if you are using custom themes with background images that get covered up by the box art..

YAAAAWN,, night all

It is your project GUI USB Iso Loader "GX" (the library you use for develope the loader)

 

[cyrex]

aha ...ok then. But we are using the libwiigui library... the only GX in it is the FreeTypeGX

 

[giantpune]

I'm not trying to be too much of a dick here, but would you mind not calling it that. I don't want our project to get stuck with a name that the creators had no say in. That's like you going up to a pregnant lady in the mall and naming her kid for her. Until the project is done, it won't have a name. I see that a theme website has started calling it something similar. It is not gu, guii, guigx, or anything else. For now it is the loader, our project, r###, rev###, the project, untitled, or the un-named application that loads isos from a hard drive and has a pretty gui.

hi all,

hope someone can help with this one:

get an "no file missing!" screen when downloading any images on all versions since implementation. every image after which gives same error.
on the first attemp i see the intitating network screen before the "no file missing!" screen appears.

3.2E, currently v217, network is fine:

config.txt in sd:/config/ folder, both image folders are empty at the moment
godmode = 1
unlock_code = a
wtheme_path = SD:/wtheme/
cover_path = SD:/images/
disc_path = SD:/images/disc/

titles.txt in sd:/config/ folder

using default theme

any ideas
ta
