Hacking USB Loader GX

[beav1s]

since options got graphical update, ive had following bug
on home screen where it displays HDD size and games installed, the sd card icon is covering up first #
ive never messed with themes etc and although im sure this would be an easy fix, would be nice if default versions displayed properly
instead of seeing 'xxx.xxGB of xxx.xxGB free', i see 'xx.xx GB of xxx.xxGB', the first number is covered by sd card icon
i have an old sd tv btw

i'm on rev464, it doesn't find my hard drive (maybe thats a cios problem?) and sometimes starts to black screen and i have to restart the wii, i'm sure other people reported this, i'm just hoping it gets fixed soon.

If you're on cIOS revision 12 or higher make sure your hard drive is plugged into the USB port that is closest to the edge (the bottom if you would put your Wii horizontally). The other port won't be recognized.

its in the right port, i'm not that big of a noob lol but thanks, i've been following updates on the loaders and cios pretty closely. it works once in a while actually, just not most of the time

if your wii is laying down its the bottom port.

How do I fix a 002 Error with this USB loader? Punch Out/Madworld worked for my other USB Loaders but I get a 002 error with this one...

there are 2 fixes for this.


1. in the settings menu for each game there is a 002 error fix you have to enable so try that i also have cios rev12

or

2. install cios13 not cios13b

I don't see anything that is labeled '002 fix' on settings (both on game specific settings and overall settings). I'm using cios rev13.

I have some strange problems the past few releases.
Most of the time it does not show the cover art in the "original" title scroll scheme.
The covers show fine in the carousel and the other one which shows 8 covers at a time.

I'm also using a 360wii theme. If I hit the refresh SD card button to try to get the covers woking in the "original" mode, I get a "mix" of the 360 theme and the original loader theme. The colors and background are from the 360 theme, while the buttons, windows, etc are from the original loader.

I'm using cIOS v10 with firmware 4.0u, and a 2GB SD card.
Could be a problem with 300+ games installed?

Since updating to r275, it all seems well now.
Thanks for all the hard work guys!

the settings is in the loader it self not the cios when in loader gx click on game you want then click settings and it should be there.

Thanks for an excellent bit of software guys. One thing, I'm struggling with parental controls. I want to hide Wii Repair Disc 1.3 most of the time. I've rad the FAQs and the help page but can't find much. I read somewhere that I need to edit titles.txt to something like:

01E101 = Wii Repair Disc 1.3 = 1

But now it shows the title as "Wii Repair Disc 1.3 = 1", and it's visible in all parental control settings [0...3].

Can anyone tell me what files I need to edit and what they should look like please? I'm using v468(ish) which is after the changelog listed parental controls as fixed.

Thanks!

they should try to use .ELF

Still missing the Game Language option in the Game Load settings.
Oh crap i forgot that i am gonna add it quick.

QUOTE(Chaos Punk @ Jun 9 2009, 12:11 AM) Guys, I just talked to pune on the IRC, he said that loading configs/covers/themes and what not from a fat32 partition is currently being worked on. He said him and dimok are just trying to figure out the best way to implement it, so no more naggin on that!

Pune is a big fat lier lol. Ardi made that thing work. He changed stuff also inside libfat (which will come soon) to make it work. The USB stuff was implemented long time ago by me but it didnt work since the ports for it were blocked by IOS249/222 (at least for the USB Port in which the WBFS HDD is). Thats why we didnt use it and only commented that code out. Now that ardi made it work and is testing it in fully we just need to uncomment the code and we can use it.
Its going to be searching for the FIRST available FAT/FAT32 Partition on your USB Device and mount that. You will than have the option to just change the path or whatver you use to "USB:/" instead of "SD:/" and it should be working.

It is not a bug that it does not work with Hermes cIOS222?

Quick question. I have a 500GB Seagate Free Agent. I've turned Auto Sleep OFF via the Seagate software. Everything works fine at first, but when I turn off my Wii at night and turn it back on again in the morning to play it won't read my HDD. I physically need to unplug both my Wii and HDD for it to read again. It's not a big deal but was wondering if there was any fix for this?

 

[Solecist]

i think when we "update all" ,..we should get languages and all... also....i love the complete covers that are already (some) in "theotherzone" site.. it would be very very cool, (and also could give more details about each game) u could implement some way of having those images but in this way (ill try to explain):

One more mode of view:
1-Show the front cover....and if we touch in it or spin it (like we spin the world in meteo channel),
the cover would spin in order to show the back cover, and when in back cover, the image would zoom a little more in order to see the details of the game...

I love the "new" settings menu....much more wii stylish.

My recent update rev ...give me much core dumps, frezzes, and dont save the mode of view i was last time

 

[Oops]

It is not a bug that it does not work with Hermes cIOS222?

cIOS222 don't work for me too. My hdd is not detected. work fine with cIOS249.

i used this version http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=157...t&p=2004652

you don't need to use the titles.txt file anymore... thats only for renaming games...
unlock usb loader gx, then click on the game and go to the settings button for that game...
then set the parental control to 3
and set your parental controls in the main settings to 3 and when you lock it and refresh the sd card again its gone

worked well for me, i set all the games that don't work etc to level 3,
and all the games i don't want my son to play as level 1,
so now i can set the parental controls to show all the games, all the games that work, or just the games i want my son to see (that work)

::edit:: just another idea/feature request... would it be possible at some stage to be able to filter games by region? ie. have a button that scrolls between, ntsc-u, ntsc-j, and pal? as i have a lot of import games as well as local games.. proably a useless feature though for most people so i don't care if i get told to get stuffed

[kedest]

has the wii disc slot LED behaviour been changed?
I thought this loader had the 'turn LED on when game installation is finished' functionality
But it doesn't seem to do that anymore

Also, when I select my own background music file, it doesn't play the whole song
it cuts off and then starts over. is this the intended behaviour?

 

[invitroo]

Hi, I always have the problem between the execution of two games. When I leave a game for another play, and restart the console at that time to start the game freezes the image at GX USB loader and I can still move the pointer but nothing else, I must therefore this time close the console.

And after that it's ok for one game, or i close wii between game !

Thanks for your help
