Hacking USB Loader... my turn ;)

[hungyip84]

Getting a code dump on .6 and .7 when it boots up loader screen, assume its got something to do with config.txt, since you get to see a partial screen before it kicks out, not directly to black and dump, but worked on 6.5 lol has there been any changes that would cause this? Path or other, about to try 7....

Could you try deleting the config.txt and titles.txt and see if the probem is still there?

Wow, since I went to bed a lot of things are happening.

The download mods are great. Do you guys want to add the download covert art control?

If you want that, then you need to get a "game boot confirmation" because there is no available control in the select page.

I actually miss the "game boot confirmation" ..... bring it back

...... and move the language select to that page too

Too many different opinions out there. I think I might add back the "confirmation page" but keep the language select on first page. Not sure...

A few bugs I noticed in v7

-In the confirmation settings screen when you press the [-] button it cycles: Game Default, System Default, ffy
-In the confirmation settings screen when you press the [+] button it only cycles: Game Default, System Default
(video selecting is working from the main console screen however)
-In the confirmation settings screen the line of text "Press Left or Right to select language." the "." is moved to the next line down, so there is a line with only a "." on it

That's all I've noticed so far.

Thanks! I noticed the video bug while testing but forgot to fix that.

For another one. The text is too long. Any suggestion to cut it down?

Easiest way, just delete the "." or "Press Left/Right to select language." and then change "Press +/- to select video option." to match. Could also replace the "/" with or

How about "Press Left/Right to select language." ? I think that would save some space.

Good idea. Thanks man!

Dude! go do your taxes! this can wait, its not like you haven't done enough already. Maybe you'll get some money and be in a good mood after lol.

Would it be possible for an option that would allow you to press A+B(example) at startup to boot XXXX game? Example of config:

autogame = a + b = RRBE
autogame = z = UMGE

EDIT: What is the max amount of posts on a thread? I remember when the backup loader first came out there was a thread which reached the limit but I can't remember that limit...

Here's a version of v6.7 with support for additional regional tags for PAL covers.
(small modification in menu.c)

If it exists, the displayed cover will change to the cover matching the currently selected language, when the user presses the Language button. geek fun

If there is no regional cover for a game, it will just display the default cover.

It only works for PAL games, and covers should be named like this:
default/English: RENP8P.png, add a letter for other regions
French cover RENP8PF.png and so on: G for German, S for Spanish, I for Italian, D for Dutch

It's useful for European users who wish to keep both the English and regional covers.
This way, there is no need to overwrite a main cover pack with a local cover pack for their region anymore, and users can start adding their local covers to an online cover source for USB Loaders such as (http://www.theotherzone.com) without risking overwriting the default English one.

games with different covers you can try: Rayman Raving Rabbids, Sonic and the Black Knight

@hungyip84

I have an idea. Is it possible to add a most recently played games list so that we may pick frequently played game much more conveniently. ^^

P.S. Has the bug I mentioned been fixed ? The bug is the loader does not use the titles.txt file which is placed at my custom path together with the boot.dol.

Thanks !

I will take a look at that. Btw, do you have a SD card in your wii when you boot the game?

I have a 150gb hd and once I get to 130 exactly I can't add any more without using a PC application. I wonder if this is something to do with the "500gb limit."

Maybe it's a bug with the end of the drive or just me?

Did you make sure the titles.txt is in the SD:\apps\usbloader folder?

 

[hungyip84]

One question for the code dump.

People mentioned about getting code dump when booting game, do they see "Booting Game..." on the loader before the code dump?

yes i do


*EDIT*
I fixed the issue. what i was doing was letting preloader load straight into the loader. but now since going into the system menu and then booting off the HBC everything works fine.

 

[Pippin666]

Would this be a working config.txt ??

images_path=SD:/apps/usb-loader/
background=bg.png
layout=ultimate2
covers=1
simple=0
console_color=0,15
download=0
covers=1
simple=0
home=exit
download=0
console_coords = 40,71,340,290
console_color = 7,15
covers_coords = 446,109

Am I missing configurable option ??

Great! But did you mention the loader was working in previous version?

 

[delta123]

I need to find out what changed I made during transition from 6 to 6.7. Would you like to help me test on it?
