Hacking USB Loader GX

[Cyan]

Just note that rev17 works only for WBFS partition, not FAT32 or NTFS.

It looks like it can't create the savefile so it can't find it ...
do you want my saves to try if the game see it? (It's from Unlimited Adventure NTSC-U).

Did you already play it before ? (I think not, as you don't have a save data).
Maybe it's a modified iso (there's a US to PAL version, as PAL wasn't included in the original video signal), but It would not launch at all.



Anyway, Dimok if you come here :
I can't connect to IRC anymore for few days now, it just says :

Maybe try spelling the server name properly?

You have a typo in the server name. It's abjects, not abjetcs.

Hi guys, is this the right place to ask questions about Usb loader GX?

My question is, will usb loader ever be able to play Metroid Prime Trilogy without having to use alternate dols?

Currently I have to start the game either from the disk or on usb loader one game at a time.
Each game is set to veteran difficultly and you can't use the MPT main menu.

Is this possible to fix and if it is then when will this fix be available?

If it was known, I think all (or most) usbloaders will have this feature already and won't need alt dol option anymore.
dol reloading has no solution yet.

I have an idea, but it's a bricking risk : update cIOS to write which gameID/usb_port to use into a temporary file on the nand, replace the requested IOS by the cIOS. When the game reload the cIOS make the cIOS check if there's a temporary file with info to reload the correct game from USB.
if cIOS could write to SD it would be better brick proof.
This is only an idea, I'm not even sure an IOS can write to nand by itself.



About the game difficulty, I think there's ocarina code for that.
I didn't check myself, just take a look.

Before post this as an issue please tell me if it's ok.

Some apps appear to be displayed redundantly in the homebrew lanucher section on Usb Loader GX v2.1 r1080
I'll post this as an issue on March 22nd, 2011.

holy SHIT!

Look at all the fucking posts!

On Topic - Is this better than WiiFlow?..

cause I kinda like WiiFlow

 

[Cyan]

For users who are not following updates, Official v2.1 has just been release

Update it from the update menu in the loader, or use the installer, or download the dol/wad on google code.
All 3 version (222, 249 and 250) are identical, only the loaded cIOS change in case you want to boot the loader without doing a cIOS reload (use the same as your base IOS). all this versions are working the same way.

The first post has been updated too, including all the changelog from 2.0 to 2.1

It's listing all the .dol, even the one not named "boot.dol", so if you keep a save of your dols like "r1074.dol" it will be listed too.

I don't think there's a better loader, all are working the same way for all the games.
Loaders have almost all the same features, it's only the feel and look that makes you decide the one you like.
USB Loader GX has few new features, which might anyway be included in other loaders in few weeks/months. All the loaders generally harmonize their features. (except WinnerTag, GX don't/won't use it)

recent features added to this loader which might not be included in other loaders yet :
Games from multiple partition listed at the same time.
Games from multiple HDD listed at the same time.
Supports hard drives >3TB and WBFS partition with more than 500 games.

Multiple HDD might be a little buggy if your Wii is switching the power off from your USB ports. (mine is doing that, but it seems to work fine for some users)

.....

Updated the day after it came out. Other than the revision confusion, 1079/1080 ..... Oprah/Uma

it's all good. I love the cIOS hardcoded versions to cut out IOS reload time, and the AltDol+ menus are working superbly. Keep the great work coming guys

If this is a dumb question to ask here please forgive me! I noticed that r1080 fixed support for cIOSX rev21d2xv3. My question is - What the heck does "d2xv3" mean? I am using cIOSX rev20b on base 57 and have been out of the loop for a bit.

 

[Cyan]

cIOSx r20 and r21 had some bugs with the EHC module that r19 didn't.

Xflak emitted an idea to make a modification of the r21 by putting the ehc module from r19 into r21.
It actually worked fine and corrected the known bug with r21. (ports and controllers lag in game).

The new modded version has been named r21 d2x (named after the first letters of 3 developers : Davebaol, xabby666 and Xflak).
The "d2x" version is now improved and fixed some nan emulation problem, the current version is "r21 d2x version 3".


Recently, d2x IOS version has been changed to reflect the main cIOS revision (21) and the d2x revision (003), and is installed as cIOSx v21003.

USBLoader GX r1080 just allowed IOS >v21 to be compatible with v21003

See this topic for cIOSx d2x :

aha! makes more sense now. Thanks Cyan!

 

[PPSainity]

.....Xflak emitted an idea.....

Ewww, sounds painful. There's probably a cream for that

That doesn't mean the same thing as French ? lol
Damn, some words looks alike but don't always have the same meaning

To emit is like giving his own point of view on a subject without being certain that it's the right thing.

Yeah, it does work in english too. Just having a larf as the connotation of emit in North America leans towards expelled discharges of some sort....ewwww

Okay, sorry for hijacking threads...

Are you talking about your nocturnal emissions again?

 

[hdhacker]

Does USB Loader GX allow you to force games like Madworld to 480p? If so, how? I have a USA Wii.

 

[bjorno]

Thats a long time ago that I entered the usbloader gx section

How is usbloader gx now with the release of 2.1?
I remember I started at usb loader gx and I loved it but it was buggy so I had to switch over to cfg.
Really wonder if it is now fixed because i'd like to try it again

 

[Livy]

Don't know if i'm being silly or not, but where do i get rev 1080?
