Hacking USB Loader GX

[warlord007]

Any idea if Windows 7 can affect files added to USB loader? Anything I load to my wfbs drive from my windows 7 computer causes USB loader to crash.

these all worked perfectly before I upgraded to Win7. Nothing else has changed...

NO its not Win7 giving you problems. I have been using it for a couple of months now, both 32 and 64 bit and never had a problem installing games onto the wii. Im using WBFS Manager 3 to transfer

warlord

well since nobody did help me LOL

i solved the issue with the lacie drive

i just need to plug the usb cable in when the wii in the system menu then it works all the time
problem is quiting a game and then wanting to start a new one requires this workaround

There is a chance to "Wishlist" of the first post be modified and extended to include support for FAT partition and .wbfs files?

Thanks!

What is this .wbfs file used for ? is that a partition image ?
I didn't see it yet, does a loader already use it ?

 

[OozTGM]

Does some one have a fully tutorial whit links for this newbie here

Pleas
I want this so badly

I hope my topic can help you find one: http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=178862
many good guides are stickied

Yes, this has been introduced by Oggzee in his Configurable USB Loader.
You can convert a .iso image of a game in a .wbfs image that is scrubbed and can be splitted in 2GB parts...
They can be copied on a FAT partition (hence the 2GB limit) and then loaded by the configurable....
In other words, you can avoid the use of wbfs USB disk and wbfs managers and use a FAT disk and a conversion tool .iso->.wbfs

Have you tied forcing video modes? It looks like you have an NTSC wii and are playing PAL games - sometimes you need to mess with video modes when you play cross-region games.

yea , but if there were pal games the video would still show just not in sync right?? btw thx for the help. the games just wont start period. is there a list some where on \what setting to use with specific games?

Using this approach, FAT partition, the solution is more "Kiss".

You can use anyone of thousands tools to backup, resize, recover, defrag, ..., the FAT partition.

I'm using and it's perfect!

Sorry if this has been covered but I didn't see it mentioned. Also checked the ReadMii file but couldn't find the info I'm looking for.

When I updated to the latest version of USB Loader GX, all of the custom titles are missing. I'm assuming the path and/or filename of the titles.txt file changed, can anyone let me know the new path and filename?

Also, as a sidenote, it would be very helpful if the OP of this thread could make a few updates on the first page, it hasn't been edited since July and I was under the impression that work had ceased on this loader until I performed an update through the options menu.

Oh, and a huge CHEERS and KUDOS to the dev team for making an excellent loader. This one is by far my favorite, keep up the great work!

fyi, there are new updates released for the app regularly... just look at the revision number, its in the 800's! If he had to update this page whenever there was an update it would be a full time job! Why not check the official website, or the wiki changelog if u want to be able to check for new versions using your pc.

It uses wiitdb.zip now, go to update in options and select update wiitdb.

Oh, I see, thanks for the explanation

If you read carefully, I said "a few" updates. I didn't mean for him to update every revision, that would be ridiculous. However an update every month or two would be nice.

Thank you for this useful reply that actually answers my question. Cheers Nollog!

Hi there,

In rev - R822 *Added WiiPowers New Super Mario Patch. (Thanks WiiPower)

In lamens terms, how does this code effect a non patched main.dol file or what is it actually doing, if you don't mind me asking.

thanks

check the source if you want to see exactly what it does to the main.dol on the fly

gbatemp is not the "home" for GX. The coders are in this thread that often.

If you want to remain up-to-date with the app, please bookmark their googlecode page

I did view that and wanted to ask the experts as I'm just a noble peasant.

I checked the source, It just replace main.dol offset 0x1ab750 from 94 21 FF D0 to 4E 80 00 20
Like the manual patch does

I have just started using the USB Loader GX for the first time after always using disk loaders. When I attempt to load certain games, I get a "Error: Failed to extract opening.bnr". I have tried searching Google to see what the cause is as well as learning about the opening.bnr error and am left still wondering what the actual cause is. I am unfamiliar with what .bnr is. I am sure its simple but if anyone can explain what this error stems from, I would greatly appreciate it. Also if someone knows what I can use to fix this such as a checking tool or something like that it would be very helpful.

System specs are:
3.2U with cIOS249 and Rev14 with Bootmii
Using latest USB Loader GX with the included channel installed.

I am still 3.2U after not using the Wii for a while.

Thanks for any help with this.

It seems to be a problem with the loader. You should post it on the google code page
