Hacking USB Loader GX

[kevenz]

covers-discs-themes works the same way
Just keep your directories short

like
SD:/usbloader/3dcov/ (the maximum length for now which is 20)
SD:/usbloader/discC/ (c for custom

)
SD:/usbloader/discO/ (O for original)
SD:/usbloader/t/1/ (for theme 1)
SD:/usbloader/t/2/ (for theme 2...)

Nice namings are also
SD:/data/gui/....../ (which leaves 6 char for folder's name)
SD:/gui/........../ (10 char)

use your imagination

Jesus Christ..... just when is this gui loader is going to be finish? people want millions of (useless) options.....

The loader becomes slower and slower, espacially the fade-in covers ! What a pity !!

LOST in development ! Pity !

 

[BlindDude]

maybe im wrong but this is a thread about the USB Iso Loader GUI by dimok,nIxxx,cyrex et al ....?

so pls post your channel in a other thread, open a new USB Loader Channel thread or whatever.

thx

btw. rev307 no config.txt (since rev305)

Yes sir Mr. Fuckin Moderator.

Something i still didnt understood..im sorry.
Where are they set? in the config.txt?
how it is?
theme = sd:\themes\t1\?

config.txt isn't used anymore

Go to settings
Go to the 2nd page
Unlock the gui (default pass is ab121b)
Click on Cover/Disc/Theme Path or something
Type your path (as the examples quoted)
Hit OK

That's it

marinos35 - Did you catch my post from above about the issues I am having with R308? Thx.

There is no fade effect being placed on the covers. When you select a game here's just part of what has to happen for the picture to show up.
First the Wii removes the old download button and image from the current window. The Wii checks for a picture with the same first 3 digits as the game selected and stores it in memory as image data. If there is not one, the Wii checks the images for one named with the 6 digits of the game. If it still can't find one, the no cover img is assigned to the cover image data variable. Then whatever is in the cover image variable is deleted and the image data the wii just got is assigned to that image variable. Then the image data is removed from memory. Next, the widescreen fix is applied to the image if the Wii is set in 16/9 mode. Then whatever is in the cover image variable is assigned to the download button and the button is fixed to the window.

So, if you want covers to show up faster, delete the 1500 covers on your sd card. The wii is looking through all of them at least once. You can also name them to the 3 digit name to keep the wii from looking for them twice before it finds them. You can also compile your covers in the loader yourself and they will already be available to the app so they will show up instantly.

The text above and below the cover is fading in and giving it the illusion that it fades in. To see for yourself, turn off the game region and game ID and point to a game you don't have the cover for. The no cover image will pop up immediately.

I'm not one of the devs. As I say at the site report the bugs to google code project. I could took a look at the code by I don't have time right now.

Flip x changes the way the game window slides but also what game comes up when pressing the right/left buttons (at some modes it's reversed and when pressing right the previous game at the list comes up)

Also it would be faster to first check for 6 digit cover as the covers are usually named that way. Of cource for the discs should be left 3 digit.

 

[thc42O]

any further development should focus on core functionality only or the incorporation of fat32 mplayer built in, which would be the best idea to do with it

Make a Main menu like crediars freedom, but with libwiigui ofc. and have it have a movie theme'd icon, an nintendo icon for games a cleft note for music a camera for pictures
file structure on fat32 should be
/movies
/music
/pictures

im sure this wish will go un noticed but, as i said this would really be the nicest FULl app for the wii out there.

inside the media folder a nice gui with Thumbs of ur media

I have cIOS222 installed, but when i'm using it loader won't find my HDD. What I'm doing wrong?

OK man we had that problem already. You are using the newest Hermes cIOS222. To boot loader again open global_settings.cfg and make cios = 0 in there not 1. It saveed to load 222. There is a protection for if 222 is not found but since you really got 222 it is booting in that.

QUOTE(marinos35 @ May 10 2009, 07:31 AM) Also it would be faster to first check for 6 digit cover as the covers are usually named that way. Of cource for the discs should be left 3 digit.

Ya right i am gonna change that to check 6 digits first. Also gonna change the Discimages to check for 6 IDs first too, since this is what we are downloading them to. And gonna add more chars for all PATHs.

@thc420 wtf? this is an USB Loader not an everything, replace my wii menu loader.

it doesnt have to be. why stop at loading wbfs partitions only.

any coder would agree that the main goal is to add functionality and not limit the development process .

Hi
Rev 309 work good

 

[jarock]

Well done guys.
Has all that you could ask for and now parental control though loader, this is great.
I have been following this since the beginning and such a leap from there to what now is the best USB Loader around.
I salute you.

Best of luck.

or just the r309.dol at my Mediafire folder where every upload goes
or ddl mirror thx to deakphreak -> [url=http://wii.spiffy360.com/getfile.php?rev=66]http://wii.spiffy360.com/getfile.php?rev=66[/url]

Everything was moved from config.txt to the automatically created save file since r305

309:ÂÂÂÂ *Fixed tooltip
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ *Changed max chars for path to 50
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ *Changed the covers and discimages to search for 6 ID first
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ *FixedÂÂissue 230ÂÂ(giantpune)

People who cant load the loader or having some troubles
they should try to use .ELF
since .ELF is a lot more accurate in processing code​

I modified the source from SpaceJump and I compiled a forwarder that checks for
SD:/apps/usbloader-gui/boot.dol
If that fails it checks for
SD:/apps/usbloader-gui/boot.elf

Just inject it to your wad channel

Tested and it works with r308 with SD and SDHC

I would like to add a config option for disable the point to select the games (using the cross) and only use it (the cursor) with the low menus. I meant that the cursor don't affect when is over the gamelist

Other option for exit program is to be able to select a default option, and don't ask me more

 

[Patryc]

Thanks for the forwarders, marinos35. (and SpaceJump)

is that forwarder compatible with preloader's autoboot?

 

[jarock]

lol..... your still looking

Been a while since you asked, I thought you found one.

Here m8 is this any good to you?
Compatible with preloader if you install it, and change your settings to autoboot to file and return to preloader using IOS60
Looks in SD:\apps\USBLOADER

Like giantpune said, get rid of the unnecessary covers you don't need... this will increase the showup-speed for sure. Another thing is the check for 3id covers (which i don't really need but i think it was because of the idea of custom covers).
