ok used different sd card and got it working but i still don't see how to put the game counter on in gui settings.
that's strange, nobody else reported that problem, and 1265 has even better compatibility with nintendont as it adds missing settings.
How do you launch the loader? from wii, vwii or WiiUVC?
I didn't test myself, but other users said it was working.
going back to 1262 fix the issue?
i have no issues now with anything. apparently all my issues was with my sd card. but i would like a game counter is there any way to get that back?There isn't a setting for it. You can hide it with a theme setting. I just looked at the code and it's not using a thread for the game count. It just uses size() on the GameTitles vector and that is populated synchronously when the loader initializes or you make changes to your titles on the disc, so there should be no issue with an orphaned thread.
You can, however, turn off the free space indicator in GUI Settings. That is threaded and has been reported to hang if a title is launched before it's done.
well i don't know why when i connect both to the back of my wiiu usbloader gx can't initialize the drive. only happens with my toshiba drive. my western digital works fine with a single cable for wiiu wup intalled games.USB ports have a maximum power output in volts and wattage. If the drive needs more than that it has to be drawn from a separate port.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB#Power
A PC might be more tolerant of a higher than specification load but the Wii apparently isn't. The USB specifications actually consider the Y-cable method nonstandard. A device that draws more than the port it's connected to can supply is suppposed to have external power.
set the option back to enabled.but i would like a game counter is there any way to get that back?
which version of the loader ? 1262 or 1265 ?i'm running usbloader gx on my vwii. it runs pretty good but the only problem i have is
Exiting the game sends me back to USB Loader GX - which is good
exiting USB Loader GX (to HBL or System doesnt matter) leaves me with a black screen and I need to unplug my wiius psu
it's usually a problem with WD drives. funny it's the contrary for you.well i don't know why when i connect both to the back of my wiiu usbloader gx can't initialize the drive. only happens with my toshiba drive. my western digital works fine with a single cable for wiiu wup intalled games.
i think i only saw play count but i didn't see anything about a game count. i'll check again.well, it's the same option name you used to disable it two hours ago.
didn't you disabled that option manually ?
if you didn't disable it, and it's not displayed it means it's slow to process (still counting, wait more before launching a game).
Settings > GUI settings > Display game count : enabled/disabled
it's not there?
edit:
My bad, I think it's "show free space" which is problematic if you launch a game before the freespace is displayed, not the game counter.
I thought there were a setting to display/hide the game count.
maybe the gamecount is linked to "show the freespace" setting ?
i don't have any themes and downloading says it's not available anymore.no, you are right.
I'm searching in the sources and still can't find it... really strange ahah
I'll let you know if I have more clue.
edit:
the HDD info, and game count buttons can be disabled, but they are both piloted by the theme files.
you can choose in the theme if you want them displayed or not. there's no setting in the loader to hide or display them.
do you see game count on yours?sorry, I don't know why it's not displayed.
I am using your fork. I have the game counter on 1262 but on 1266 it's missing.The game count is show at the bottom of the main game browser. The play count is in the same place in the banner window. Neither of them should be affecting game loading as the game count is totaled when the loader starts and scans your drive and the play count is just a text file. The only way to get rid of the game/play count display is by moving it off-screen with a theme file. There are no options for turning it off.
Are you sure you're using the official build from Cyan and not my fork?
As for the HDD, from what I understand Toshiba drives are problematic. They have some kind of automatic power saving.
