Hacking USB Loader GX

[WiiMonkey]

OK cheers for the info

because they aren't affiliated with the site that hosts the covers. USBloader GX simply uses the site to grab covers from.

I was editing my post... It would be nice if the team hosted the covers themselves. That way there would be no ransom involved in obtaining covers as long as the GX team was receiving enough donations. I'd donate regardless of them hosting covers as a token of appreciation for all their hard work. Regardless I see that I'm not the only one willing to host a covers site. There are several web hosting sites with unlimited bandwidth and storage for less than $5.00 US a month. Probably a dumb I idea lol I made my donation... had to look a few pages back to find out where, though

Took my drive, formatted it to FAT32 then used WBFS manager to make is to the WBFS format. Plugged it into the Wii and STILL says "no USB device found"

While making a donation at Wiiboxart.com I got the following message:

Hey boxart ppl if you are going to punish folks for downloading from a different IP address simply authorize by the IP address! *smacks forehead* Authorizing by IP address makes more sense anyways. Then we could be downloading boxart without the need of a username/password in the loader, and we can stick with the loader version we like! Yeah... still have the option of username and password and the option to change IP addys if you move or something.

i headed to the wiiboxart.com website to manually get the last half dozen images that i cant get through usb loader.

go to the site in safari, click on conduit download. get screen of code.


go to the site in firefox, download conduit and a few other games, put them in my folder and i get

you have attempted to load a bad image SD/images/RSCP7D.png. most likely it has dimensions that are not evenly divisible by 4. way to go dipshit.


when all i did was download them from the site at the default settings.

For 3d boxart you have to change the size to 176x248 in the boxes at the top of the game list page. For 2d boxart you have to change the size to 160x224. Make sure you check the image properties before each download as sometimes it resets itself to 160x225 which is not a valid size for GX.

Good option, but that will not work if ppl have dynamic IP

LOL I thought they locked me out for suggesting the IP Auth in the chat box

- it happened while I was talking in there.

I really doubt there are that many ppl out there using dialup for this. The vast majority of DSL and Cable users practically never get their IP addy changed. It's usually associated to the mac addy so even with a reboot ppl get the same number. Seriously... having IP based auth is really the way to go. That doesn't mean the username/password auth shouldn't work, too - you can easily have both.

We should really start another thread for wiiboxart.com issues so this one doesn't get anymore cluttered than it already is.

Here in germany nearly every provider changes IP on reconnect (and reconnect is forces daily or at least regulary also)...

 

[dexter222]

I still maintain that the vast majority of users have relatively fixed IP addys.

Regardless of all this... if the developers are going to have to take the time to enter a username and password option in USB Loaders it would be nice if they also allow users to input an alternate download site for cover and disc art.

Guys,

how do I download source code for this project? I clicked on source link on first page and that takes me to source code but how do I download it from there? TY

bula

never mind, got it. I just compiled my first dol...was about time.

DSL typically doesn't have a static IP. i know i don't, but i could, as an extra service. and i'm pretty sure that most people who are concerned enough about having a static ip have cable anyway, so that's a dsl service that hardly gets used.

it's a poor system, currently. and they'll figure it out soon enough

Most DSL (and cable) users are issued a dynamic IP address that simply never gets changed. It's not technically static, it just never changes. Some PPPoE providers change when you reconnect however even those tend to associate the IP address with the mac address and the user still usually gets the same address.

The old Forwarder don't is compatible with most recent revision, correct? Always I tried, returned to the Wii Menu.

I'm still using the first forwarder I downloaded which is, I believe, 2 versions ago. I can't think of any reason to ever have to update the forwarder unless they make one that takes up fewer memory blocks.

 

[Envido32]

What about updating "titles.txt" to the "Update All" option?

Is there an option to download cheats for ocarina?

Not as of yet but there are other homebrew apps that work, I cant get the "ocarina" symbol to pick up any .gct files that are on the SD card
