Hacking USB Loader GX

- Could you add an option in cfg for path of cfg

?

I thought about this earlier today. I thought so hard it made my head hurt.
The trouble with this is that it needs a config to tell it where the cfg path is. If you want to save your settings in SD:/assclown/fartbreath/ How will the loader know to look there? It's the chicken and the egg situation. There has to be a path coded into the app. Either that, or it scans the entire SD card looking for the config file.

You could always make it somewhere hard coded, but in a relative path to where the loader sits. You could even have it look at /config/ first and then SD:/config/ if it doesn't find it in the first location. I can guarantee that 99% of the people who would want to be able to move it want it to be in the same folder as the rest of their app to keep it "clean" or to allow for mutliple versions (one for kids to run from main menu, one to boot from HBC). The unlock has fixed a lot of the need for the second scenario, but even if it stays both situations can be easily resolved by following the idea I mentioned above.

Now for the guarantee. If I'm wrong. . . you get your money back!

Alright I found a bug.... When you remove a game off of the usb then try to install a new game, it corrupts the usb then you will need to re format it to wbfs (I just do this with usb loader 1.1) and when you try to go back in, and try to install a game it gives you code dump errors and you have to restart the wii. The version I am using is 19 I think. And I am sorry if someone already mentioned this or if the coders already posted this in their bugs.

upgrade . . . version r324 already. read up newbie

. sorry , a little hasty with that one, but cmon.

Alright I just saw it awhile ago I'm gonna download it now and test it out.

Totally Agree !

I am wanting to later/hardcode a cfg path for a config for a kids loader I am working on. editing the source that I downloaded for this loader v1.0.

what program do I use to compile the source into a boot.dol with my hardcoded theme? I have downloaded and install DevKit Pro but not sure where to start after I make my changes to the path in the various source files.

Just open the make file in the programers notepad and start the prozess with the menu tools/make

ok guys i am wrong

, just to have a possibility to have the cfg in apps/usbloader_gx directory ....

 

[dimok]

We already said that this /config/ crap has problems with ALL channels/forwarder/preloader since there is no loader dol dir!!

The only way of solving this would be an option in the settings to choose your freaken config path (like coverpath).

OR we make it constant SD:/apps/usbloader_gx/config/ or something like that.


EDIT: Sorry the option thing cant work lol. So only a constant would work.

CRAP

 

[tagteam3283]

hi guys,

been getting a "spin up" problem with a Lacie 500G external HDD and not a "spin down" problem.

Hence, the USBloader does not pick up the drive unless I power it up after launching the USBLoader.

Seems okay once it is going.

any ideas?


Cheers

Take a look at the ULTIMATE Loader. It has a config file TOGETHER with the boot.dol. It just works no matter where you put them, as long as they are TOGETHER.

 

[WiiMonkey]

I have snippped bits from a few usb loader themes and come up with this but could somebody please help me and tell me the coords for this image

so i could use it with this
Thanks

That looks like the theme I created for the Ultimate USB Loader. My original one is here...

It is my friend but i add those bits so i could use it with this loader but dont know coords of the pic ???

We already tried that. The damn Loader crashes when booted from Channel/Forwarder/Preloader/TCPLoad/Elf Sender. SO forget that. Besides Hungyip, the one who made the Ultimate Loader, was trying this!

hey just seen version 1.0 and so i deleted the old sd/usb loader 1.5 and tried to use this to install games and blammo... code dump

it was on super smash bros... crashed at about 16% i think... took a photo on my camera anyway....
oh and it dropped out back to the homebrew channel a few times randomly

well i'm just gunna keep using 1.5 again for installing games and just use this for loading them and making sure my son can't delete any games on me

compiling revision 326 now anyway....
top work on this loader btw

its come a long way in a short period of time
oh crap i thought i was stuck on this version i just broke my sd adapter, but a bit of tape fixed it... phew

edit: just a bit of info i forgot to add:
wii 3.2e offline downgrade from 3.3e (old version), cios36 rev10, cioscorp, preloader 0.29, homebrew channel etc...

 

[cyrex]

I can't promise anything but it seems like cIOS rev9 works better with installing on the loader. Someone tested it for us and said he could install 12 games in a row without an codedump on rev9. Maybe you give it a try. I think everything will be better with cIOS rev11.

 

[self_slaughter]

cheers...i just noticed that on page 1 of the forum (doh), i'll give it a try later... going back to cios rev9 won't affect the waninkokos 1.5 in any way will it? nice to have a failsafe one there just in case

 

[cyrex]

basically you can install the revs as you like... if you install cIOS rev9 it will overwrite the rev10 and vice versa.

 

[vettacossx]

yup i can confirm i have tried 9-11 (i like 9 and 11 best) but they all work gr8!

and this is IMO the best loader out so far!

 

[Spidy1000]

to my knowledge, rev11 is not released yet, at least not officially

 

[--JoCa--]

EDIT: See next post... Sorry

Anyway, I have channels for the games I play most and keep the loader for my brother and sister XD

 

[User423]

The official Loader 1.5 works fine with rev9. (only no SDHC, thats the reason of rev10)
