Hacking USB Loader GX

[Acidflare]

I think there's no sorting function, so it's listed in the same order than readdir() function find them. (probably by FAT/NTFS File table order)

if it uses readdir() you should be able to sort them properly with DriveSort http://www.anerty.net/software/file/DriveSort.php

Sup guys, reporting a problem, Kirby Return to Dreamland hangs after Title Screen, I press 2 and it goes to a blank screen and I have to reset the Wii. Same game runing fine in WiiFlow using the same config

I have no issues playing this game what settings and CIOS are you using?

And game settings:
All off except Force 16:9.
I don't know what settings are relevant for you,

 

[Acidflare]

try not forcing the game into 16:9 and using the system default video mode, the game is a widescreen game natively

Excellent. Time to rename some directories then. Thank You!

And that was the problem, using default aspect ratio and now it works great. Thanks Acid

Games that use a 16:9 aspect ratio will fail to boot if 16:9 is forced, If you have a 16:9 setup you should have your wii system menu settings set to widescreen the have usbloader GX set to use system default. Any game that has 4:3 only can use the 16:9 forced option otherwise it should be left to system default

Thank you so much for the information, but I have a question forcing 16:9 makes the game boot anyway. Why it gets stuck after the title screen? I mean, what makes the game crash after booting?

 

[Acidflare]

the fact that you are trying to force a video mode in the main.dol located in Kirby Return to dreamland.wbfs that is already enabled

This is a recurrence question, and the answer is always the same
Kirby has the matafortress Antipiracy protection : it detects any patches applied to the game!

Disable all patches (even "return to"), use the same region than your console (JP version doesn't seem to work at all).

You can also use a patch to remove the AP.

Using "return to" doesn't make any difference it's works well, there is more info of this AP Protection? It's very interesting.

Thanks Cyan

 

[Cyan]

well, you can search metafortress for more informations.
I thought return to was also checked.

so only disable :
video mode, aspect ratio, ocarina, dol patching
or
find gameconfig.txt for kirby, edit or create the file on the root of SD or in /codes/ folder, and enable ocarina + at least one cheat (I'll try to fix that to work with 0 cheat enabled)
edit:
gameconfig.txt for USA game from Crediar

I don't know if there's one for EUR.

Edit:

You can find gameconfig.txt for PAL, and some cheat code works without metafortress patched.


Edit2:
WiiUPro controller works fine on my WiiU (it unsynched too, while in Nintendont, It looks like a battery issue. I'll try to charge it fully before testing again).

 

[David271749]

I've tried to troubleshoot this myself for the past few days, but I can't figure it out. I'm using a 2TB external with a power adapter, so there's no need for a Y cable. I have the drive formatted to Fat32 MBR. I used Wii Backup Manager to convert my isos to WBFS files before putting them on the external. I start usbloadergx via it's own channel or hbc, and I get the same thing. My Drive is recognized (tells me how much free space I have), but it's not seeing any files. It just sees my SD apps.

Do I have to set up a file path for games? I just have the WBFS folders that were created right there on the drive. The only other thing I can think of is my installation. I installed USBLoaderGX_V_3 ISO 249, and I dropped this .rar file in my apps>usb_loader folder.

Did you enable Wii games?
4th icon in the top menu.

Do you have the correct partition set as main/install in the Settings>hdd settings? (first option, click on it to refresh/remount the partition)

Sorry, Cyan. Just didn't have the file path set up correctly. I needed a WBFS folder in my external. Thanks though!

 

[sonictopfan]

Updated to the latest Nintendont now I get an error message "USB is not supported with this version of Nintendont"

 

[superkrups20056]

Hey Cyan,

Is USB Loader GX ever going to gain the ability to load EmuNAND channels without getting the corrupted error? Tired of going through postloader.

Thanks for all your hard work!

EDIT: I guess I'm asking, with all the things USB Loader GX can do, why can't it lauch emuNAND channels using NEEK2O like WiiFlow can?

 

[Cyan]

because I didn't had time to add it.
I'm working on it randomly, when I feel like programming a little (usually when I'm in holidays to get enough time to code and debug).
I started to look how to implement neek2o but didn't tested it yet. what I understand is I have to write neek config to Mem2, but I don't understand how I can be sure it doesn't overwrite used RAM. Well I'll just test it.

sonictopfan : release fix probably today.
There are lot of options I didn't or couldn't test yet. I'm always missing time when nintendont is broken and need to be prioritized
I dislike when I start working on a long-to-add code and something else broke in the meantime. I don't like reverting just to fix the broken thing.

Still hoping to fix WiiUPro controller in all menus, but I'll probably release it without 100% support. (some menus won't work with WiiUpro, like Gameinfo window)

check my blog for next rev changelog.

edit:
oops, I broke PS3 support while cleaning the code, I'll have to debug u_u
I should make regular backups...

Ok, everything is fine.
Last checkup before commit

Thanks again for all your hard work Cyan. Just was wondering about Neek2O support because in my mind it's my most wanted feature, I just want to be able to boot everything from one place and I love your interface compared to wiiflow. In previous recent posts, you mentioned that neek2o support was releasing "soon" but I was wondering about the status of it because I didn't see any mention of it on the development status post. It looks like it'll still be on hold for a while then, huh?

Looking forward to helping you test your new release today!
