Moving the banner cache to USB makes banners load extremely fast. There is virtually no lag as you scroll though pages of banners.
I strongly recommend it.

GX nowadays is the most compatible en feature rich loader.
It had full banner support, Nand emulation, DML etc, etc.

Soon a official release will come.

In the meantime you can get your beta in the offical usb loader beta thread.

Does this NAND emulation make Tintin work or do I still have to use Sneek for some games?

Nope the NAND emulation, enables saves, chanels etc. Sneek is the only way to play Tintin from a loader

yup, saves/ channels.

Games and channels are loaded through cios, opposed to sneek.
So compatibilty is also a direct result to the used cios.
sneek does'nt use a cios.

I still dream of an "on the fly" patching of official ios to cios, to have 100% compatibilty.

OK, thanks. I'm due to have a go at getting Sneek working on my Mum's Wii today, so just wanted to check I wasn't giving myself unnecessary work

 

[cobleman]

Delete i fixed it with DML update

 

[EnigmaXtreme]

This new banner view is fucking beautiful man, I've wanted this for years!, hell GX at this point could replace my system menu

The only thing thats missing is the SD Card Menu

Two things you can do with it...

Firstly you can use an emulates NAND so that your saved games are written to disc instead of to your Wii's memory - this allows many more saved games to be stored at the same time and does away with you ever having to move game data to and from SD cards, say.

Secondly you can set GX so that it will play Wiiware/VC stored on your emulated NAND (the games just appear alongside your WBFS games) - this removes the need for a separate channel launcher like postloader, Mighty Channels etc.

Both features are well worth using if you ask me.

I would love to be able to have custom banners for the Gamecube titles, like instead of those banner icons we could ahve the games start screen ala the real way VC channels are made

 

[Cyan]

For that, you need either:
- a custom made banner animation (Fix94 And AbdallahTerro are doing some, you can ask for specific games).
or
- A new banner which would dynamically load a png from the SD/USB named with the GameID6. It would display that picture instead of the internal game's logo.
Again, you would need a maintained database with all game's Title screen, or you'll have to search a picture by yourself for each game.


We will add the first option. You will have to enable "Banner Cache" option, and then place the GameID6.bnr files to the cache folder. It will load the custom banners instead of showing the default one.


I don't know if the second option can be made easily.

 

[AbdallahTerro]

Yes as cyan said I have 25+ custom channels and adding more every day, requests are accepted too

what is sneek and how does it work

 

[Cyan]

Sneek is a way to boot and use the Wii by redirecting all Internal read/write Access into a Emulated NAND.

To achieve that, you copy the full NAND of your Wii (or create a new one) into your SD or USB, and the Wii will use your SD or USB copy of your NAND as if it was the Internal Memory of the Console.

The advantage is that you are not limited to 512MB anymore, and you have a lot more (virtually unlimited) spaces to install and store WiiWare, Virtual Console, Save games, etc.


Sneek runs everything on official IOS (no cIOS needed), as if it was the real Wii. You don't use USBloaders or Disc launchers to play games, they are already on an external storage device which act as a real Wii.

Tintin game is working only with an Original game (retail disc) or on Sneek (Emulated disc).



for more information on Sneek, you should search Sneek topic on the forum.

 

[miguelbolas]

this is a great loader.
I think he need a auto ios detection like cfg mod or a ios base info when is select a game.
This way we can switch cios for each game cfg have that.
Like Call_of_Duty_Modern_Warfare_3 he needs ios base 57.
