Hacking USB Loader GX

[hdhacker]

Okay, I *think* I have every 3D and disc art. Here are the new rar files:

3D covers:

Discs:
http://rapidshare.com/files/249684094/diskart.rar.html


I'm working on the flat covers, but I'm going to try and ensure they're all compressed as much as possible before I post them.

EDIT: Okay, the links should be working. They only are allowed 10 d/ls each, so please reupload and repost.

Sorry to post this here but do you guys know if any of these two drives work with GX? Should I pick one over the other? TY

I have the 500GB version of the western digital drive you linked to and it works flawlessly. No spindown issues, no need to power cycle ever, works with Hermes and Waninkoko's cIOS versions. That's got my vote.

@hdhacker, Do you happen to have the PAL covers and disks?

I'll have everything up for all formats in a few hours. I'll have 160x224 and 160x225 for 2d and 3d covers, 160x160 dics art, NTSC, PAL and NTSC-J - in 6 character DiscID format in a couple hours - there will be paths posted for USB Loader developers.

Would be nice an auto resize online tool, like on wii boxart...

And I'm still getting the Exception DSI occured when trying to upload games.

What is up with the cover download is we haven't decided. We feel that there is no reason that this can't be a free feature. If it turns out that there is a site that is free requires a password, we will make that possible. In the mean time m4x0r has granted the use of his ftp site as well as a few other people have expressed that they will help in hosting these covers. I have put a decent number of the covers that this application uses on m4x0r's server and adjusted the loader so that it knows where to look to get them.

If you guys want to help out with the cover download, here's how you can make yourself useful..
rar up your image folder and put it on mediafire and PM me a link ( I know I'll regret this)
i would rather many smaller rars (around 300 images) then 1 big ass one
i only want images that show in this loader. if you don't know the sizes, just open them in the app and see if it calls you a dipshit.
it will make the loader faster if all images are named with 6 character ID. don't ask how. just trust me here.

I am not in any way trying to get into the habit of updating these covers so don't bother me about ones that are missing or incorrect. this is just a temporary fix till somebody else gets something set up. I will also welcome people to mirror this and the load can be shared across the servers.

Cover/Disc art download URLs should be user defined - unless you really enjoy getting in the middle of this bullshiit everytime someone gets their feelings hurt or a site goes down. It would effectively remove you from the cover download issues entirely. Regardless, as posted above, I'll have everything uploaded and current shortly.

what do you mean upload? this isn't a torrent program. there is no upload.

-------------------------------------------------------
When i put multiple URLs in we won't have to rely on one site,server,person, or group. You can go on vacation, and m4x0r's server can get caught on fire, and hdhacker can get a real life and leave the scene and people will still be able to get the covers fine. There will be a list.

My guess is he means "installed" although is that even the proper (or appropriate) term?

"Transfered to the WBFS Partition" is the most accurate description.

Right, install, that was the word I was looking for.

Anyway, yeah. When installing a game to the WBFS partition it freezes then says Exception DSI Occured.

Okay, last one:

Flat covers, compressed with PNG Gauntlet:

http://rapidshare.com/files/249700774/flat.rar.html

They're all available individually on my site:

http://boxart.rowdyruff.net/

I'm assuming there's no issue with them being intermingled since the filenames for PAL, NTSC, and NTSC-J are unique.

If any of the loaders want to start linking to the site, you have my permission.

I have a site and am uploading all the covers.

The URLs for the loaders are:

http://awiibit.com/BoxArt160x224/
http://awiibit.com/BoxArt176x248/
http://awiibit.com/DiscArt160x160/

It's pretty much done... just finishing loading the 3d covers now.

 

[marinos35]

Normal covers must be 160x224
3D covers must be 176x248
Disc covers are left as they are 160x160

Thanks, Hooya. I wonder if 1TB works as well?

Will do an upload of the PAL 3d covers in 176x248 to megaupload. Will put in link:

3d Wii Boxart PAL 176x248
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=T6XUP43F

 

[marinos35]

Also are you sure that the owners of the wiiboxart are finished with the upload of the covers to the new server. The file size of your packs are too small and I read somewhere that they were still uploading the old covers

edit: ok it was about the full covers

thanks... I don't use 3d covers

 

[henkie]

ok enough about covers, this is the USB loader GX topic and there havent been any revision for two days

Is it possible with the next revision, the issue with cheatcode names being too long can be fixed, so we can read the whole cheatcode and if its is enabled/disabled?

 

[hdhacker]

I'm an idiot. I now have all the 3D covers in the correct resolution. I just want to re-compress them before I upload them.

Good request! It has been very quiet on the update front the last few days!
