I can't find in the wiki where I should put language file and which extensions should I use...

and also....the new config files....where does it create them? in the apps' dir or config dir?

@prisoner
you give throuth the settings the address of your language file (no special place)

the files with the settings are always under config folder (just their names changed)

@genius
it's not something they said they will add. Made a later version has it or maybe not.

@everyone
r357 is out and has a little face-lift

Well, i actually dont know. If your thinking about loading games from it, i dont think in near future as the sd cards still isnt that big and i dont think its possible to format a sd card to WBFS at the moment either.

Download Version 1.0 (with icon.png and meta.xml)
HBC pack:USB Loader GX V 1.0 (r316).rar
WAD pack:Channel WAD (r326) and Forwarder WAD

and/or the latest revision (alpha/beta/whatever)
r357.dol

OR
check the site http://tinyurl.com/USBLoaderGX
where everything plus elfs go
tongue.gif
(NEWS page informs about the important stuff)
(plz read first post or help page at site before asking)

*Language file selection was added
*Changed CONFIGFILENAMES to GXGlobal.cfg, GXGameSettings.cfg and GXtheme.cfg !!!


Changelog -> http://code.google.com/p/usbloader-gui/source/list

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

Well, i actually dont know. If your thinking about loading games from it, i dont think in near future as the sd cards still isnt that big and i dont think its possible to format a sd card to WBFS at the moment either.

Well - SDHC Cards go up to 32 GB and you can have many not so big games on them (like AC or WiiMusic) .. and yes it's possible to get them WBFS Formated and you can even have two partitions - one for HBC and WII SD Channel and one partition as WBFS .. works like a charm.

I created the partitions with Arconis Disk Director
I put Games on the second (non fat and so no drive letter assigned from windows parttition ) with the WBFS GUI 1.3 which supports direct partition access without drive letter ( http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=152666 )
and I tested it with Wanikokos 1.4 Loader (because 1.5 had a bug in the sd reading part) ( http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=154216 )

So yes it works and it's neat to have games directly on the sd card.

hey,

i must say i really like this loader but i only have one problem:

Sometimes when i load up this usb loader it won't load my HDD (Lacie 750GB but has a 500GB partition) and my wii console gets stuck.
Other times it just works good (but needs some time to be detected).


Any suggestions????

i have already contact Lacie tech support who say they dont offer disk management software for end users so the time out cannot be changed.

answer to yuor question: buy another HDD, compatible thread is somewhere on this forum. i have a seagate GO 500G which works a treat after using the software managemnt software on it

Okay i tested it again. The USB Loader GX V 1.0 (r316) is okay ! But higher Version up to 326 dont Rip any Game here ! When i go on + it will show the Game Name und the Size, then i click on okay and the counter alway by zero . No Ripping with these versions ! The Original Loader 1.5 and Coverflow works fine here ! Please Repair it ! This changes in libwbfs.c !

I have now reverted the changes from 327 an compile it for me ! Now the loader works great with new Features & Ripping !

Here is the boot.dol 357 fix ! Boot.dol 357 fixed

Tested and works. Try again and reload that page if it fails. I should start uploading them to the ddl mirror also but I don't have that much free time

I changed that because the freaken 1.5 version crashes for most people on our loader. Most of the people are not having that trouble. I am gonna change it later back to the old (or new) function when i fixed it. Right now i am busy with other stuff.

are most of you guys loading through the forwarder? or click through homebrew channel? i would like to use the forwarder, but the longer load time bug listed on the first page kind of worries me. is it even worth it then?

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
    +1
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd

    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

    It's always worth a shot
