Hacking USB Loader GX

[pepxl]

Just tested Mod7
I hope to fix the icon view and make the frame transparent
Here's what I mean (check last row)

Do you have a wii theme? If so that could be the issue. Dont think any sort if wii or gx theme is supported.

Where can I find the change log for rev1156 mods?

 

[dancemonkey]

Mod 8 with bnr caching is fantastic thanks!!!

 

[AbdallahTerro]

Yes it's great but you can't change banner cache folder from within the app
only manually by changing this line: "BNRCachePath =" in GXGlobal.cfg

anyone nice enough to pre compile for me? i would like to play with the new gx
also want to see if my previous themes from spiffy will need to be redone with the new revised. my svn is acting up i think my son screwed it up. along with devkit.
that is if it's ok with cyan..

Is that really an issue?

Nice.

Just tried the r1156 Mod8 version... and I have to say, I am impressed by the "Channel Grid" banner view mode. However, I am experiencing one problem. It does not support Korean .isos. Korean games use a different common key to the rest of the games. As a result, when I try to load up the "Channel Grid" mode (or try to boot a Korean game in the non-MOD versions), the loader tries to access the banner of the Korean iso, but cannot decrypt it, and due to that, then crashes. A while ago, I helped add Korean key support to d2x cIOS and CFG USB Loader. All that is needed to add support into USB Loader GX is to modify the "void _decrypt_title_key(u8 *tik, u8 *title_key)" in /libs/libwbfs/wiidisc.c to add in the Korean key alongside the regular common key.

Here is my modification to "void _decrypt_title_key(u8 *tik, u8 *title_key)":
(pretty much copied from the modification I put into CFG USB Loader a while back)

void _decrypt_title_key(u8 *tik, u8 *title_key)
{
u8 common_key[16] = { 0xeb, 0xe4, 0x2a, 0x22, 0x5e, 0x85, 0x93, 0xe4, 0x48, 0xd9, 0xc5, 0x45, 0x73, 0x81, 0xaa, 0xf7 };
u8 korean_key[16]={ 0x63, 0xb8, 0x2b, 0xb4, 0xf4, 0x61, 0x4e, 0x2e, 0x13, 0xf2, 0xfe, 0xfb, 0xba, 0x4c, 0x9b, 0x7e }; //korean common key
u8 iv[16];

wbfs_memset( iv, 0, sizeof iv );
wbfs_memcpy( iv, tik + 0x01dc, 8 );

//check byte 0x1f1 in ticket to determine whether or not to use Korean Common Key. Used like a boolean flag.
//if value = 0x01, use Korean Common Key, else just use regular one		-dmm
bool korean_flag = tik[0x01f1];

if(korean_flag == true){
aes_set_key(korean_key);
} else {
aes_set_key(common_key);
}

aes_decrypt(iv, tik + 0x01bf, title_key, 16);
}

That should get Korean game support working without crashing the loader.

Well not really unless you're out of SD free space like me

 

[damysteryman]

...All I did was get it caching them on my USB HDD, by editing it to:
BNRCachePath = usb1:/config/BNR_Cache/
(I used my PC to make sure those folders existed on my USB HDD first though)

...and after doing that, it used that location as its banner cache. I only have one partition on my HDD though, so AFAIK you may have to change the number after "usb" from 1 to something else depending on which partition you are using for app file storage.

Yeah thanks I also moved the BNR_Cache folder to usb1 and changed that line using my PC too, it took me 10 min to load the 300 banners but now things are really fast.
Thanks GX team, you're the best

 

[shortz1994]

WOW speechless !! great work gx team.
the only downside, on my end was the banner shows up but the buttons for starting/setting are not showing. so drove me crazy for awhile.(how the hell do you start the game). i would make the buttons invisable or with a shadow, so they don't take away from the banner.
just seen v9 is up big thumbs up.

This is THE best USB loader. Lucky I chanced into this forum and tried the beta.
I always wanted a unified loader for my NAND and ISO games and it comes together nicely. Now I use full emulation and no issues.
Finally I am down to using just one loader.

Thanks a lot. Great job.

PS: by the way, it doesn't feel like beta at all

I got a problem:

My custom paths have changed to: USB8://etc
Deleting the config won't change that, I tried to look into the config, everything says SD. Is this a non connected SD or what?

what format do you have your hard drive? how many partitions, which is set as primary etc

Hello,

I have installed USB loader GX R1156_IOS249_MOD9 (CIOS 249 base IOS56 D2X V9 beta 47) .
I have then exported NAND to USB\Nand folder and installed a working wad (World Of Goo).

When I launch Word Of Goo from USB LOADER GX NAND emulation mode I just got a restart of the wii ...

Any Idea ?

Regards

Olivier

 

[shortz1994]

any fix for the start/ setting buttons on the splash screen yet? on the most up todate 1156 modv9 249.

@KristanOosterholt
Looks like the config files are not loaded. Try saving them on a SD card if you are using USB right now.

@OlivierTheBest
Not all channels work. Did you do a full nand dump with the loader internal function and are you using full emulation mode?

@shortz1994
I guess you mean the settings and start buttons in the full banner window!? There is no problem with them. If you have a problem then its probably because you have some broken Wii System Menu Theme. Install the regular system menu and it will work.

Yes Full emulation mode and Nand backup done with USB Loader Gx
