Hacking USB Loader GX

[Royusmc]

I have just figered out that I can commit some of my own changes to the loader. However I would not even consider such a thing without the teams ok on it. So can I change some of the tooltips, or is that going to far. I will not do anything till I get the ok. Thanks.

hi @ all,

The Preloader function works fine, but I have some Questions :

1. Must I use a Special boot.dol to set this boot.dol in preloader, as boot App, or can I use every boot.dol from any USBLoader ?
2. Is there a way, that we can go from our USBLoader_GX back to HBC, cause when I boot direct to GX with preloader, I wanna go direct back to my HBC, without going in the normal sysmenu before.
3. The LED thing, when the LED only is on during the install of some Games, and when the install is finish, the LED is OFF.

...anyone ???

You can create an SVN Patchfile of your changes and upload it in an issue. Than someone of the team can look into it and if everything is ok patch our source with that file and your code is inside. Than we can commit it.


I noticed some people telling that they got eject error. I am gonna look into it now.

I found a little trick to not avoid having to switch off the console every time between game

I put wii sports in my console (the original)

So after you finish a game go into the menu wii select the cd wii sports

when see cd and spin, you can go in USB LOADER GX and i can go choose a new game and it works great !

Interesting! Thank you very much for the tip as this has been nuisance for me. I just about to downgrade back to a previous Rev but I'm going to try your little trick!

Thx again for posting.

Hi,
I have been pressing the "Home" button and choosing "reset," no problems switching games.

yeah, rebooting, that seemed to be only solution before this little trick.

Well I did the best I could but I do not know how to make a SVN Patchfile so I just gave the way to change it and I hope that works. Thank you for your help and I hope that these changes will be made or least a way to change them from the config file in the themes.

Just the fake ones so far. The "normal" covers actually look better in the coverwall/carousel setting.

Use the proper forwarder (9.6.09)
Use the update function to get the latest version
Move the folder SD:/apps/usbloader_gx/ to the USB drive so it's USB:/apps/usbloader_gx/
Move the folder SD:/config/ to the USB drive so it's USB:/config
Open the file USB:/config/GXGlobal.cfg and change all instances of "SD" paths to "USB"

Hook everything back up and go!

If you have problems just delete the GXGlobal.cfg file and try again

Ok so everyone knows. First you have to repartition the hard drive. To do this in windows make a backup of any wii games on your wbfs partition. Next right click on computer in start menu. Go down to manager and click. Next go to disk management and find the hard drive you are going to use. Next right click and delete volume. So every thing on the hard drive is blank next creat a new partition by right clicking on the volume again and clicking on create new partition I thank. Creat a fat or fat32 partition in windows no bigger then 31gb for fat partition. So programs will partition bigger but you only need 1gb for this app. I used 10gb so I could use for emulators and such. Next create a ntsf partition and use a wbfs program to format the ntsf partition to wbfs. Now copy all your wii games to the wbfs partition. Almost done. Make sure the sd card usbloader_gx folder in the apps folder is change so the loader don't load it instead. Use the new frowarder and setup the fat partition with a apps/usbloader_gx/boot.dol or elf file. And that should do it. Good Luck!

Oh yeah, just remember that the games still need to be on a WBFS partition!

I don't see 522 on the page. Where'd you get that?

Use the update feature and you will get it!
