Hacking USB Loader... my turn ;)

[waxlabo]

trying out the installation from 1.5 right now and it's really nice... can't wait to get a 1.5 in the 7.x

And for the auto-widescreen detection, it's done by the libogc library. It seems to be able to detect the screen ratio. I will let you guys to test on it.

Much more wide in 7.2 then in "manual" 7.1 config =/

The manual mode was wrong to begin with. I had bosted the true dimensions early on. The other thing that needs to be understood is the cover art work should not have to be resized or stretched at all. It is the background that should be 16:9 with the cover art box remaining the same aspect that the covers were created in. While I am a coder by career, my hobby is video and photography. So it was interesting watching everyone wanting to resize the covers.

waxlabo: is it as fast as 1.1?

 

[waxlabo]

i think it is... installing a 3gb takes about 5-7 mins.

Where is the Sourcecode?

For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
rights.

when can we expect the new one? 1.5 based one.


here is the source for 1.5

I still find it all quite confusing. I designed my background in 853 x 480 and resized to 640x480 for the file on SD. The loader stretched that to full widescreen.
Is that the correct way? If not, then what is?

 

[vettacossx]

for people reading who are curious about the jargon or termonology source code is just the original code

and if you see the words Open source or the phrase under GPL that just means it is a freely distributed and edited code also GPL is just a general public license agreement

hope that helps lamen things up a bit for spectators ect...

1. The manual mode was wrong to begin with.
2. I had bosted the true dimensions early on.
3. The other thing that needs to be understood is the cover art work should not have to be resized or stretched at all.
4. It is the background that should be 16:9 with the cover art box remaining the same aspect that the covers were created in.
5. While I am a coder by career, my hobby is video and photography. So it was interesting watching everyone wanting to resize the covers.

1. Wrong or not, it what all homebrew program uses.
2. Remind me, for what i know it it 640x480 for 4:3, 853x480 for 16:9.
3. Agree.
4. Agree, problem is the Loader program do not have 2 separate graphical layers, stretching the background = stretching the cover for now.

Looks like the USB Loader I'll be jumping on, as soon as I get my HDD set up.

But is there a channel/channel forwarder for it?

 

[vettacossx]

you can use wadder to make channels http://wadder.net/

If you change something that is licenced under the GPL you have to republish it with the new source!

 

[vettacossx]

and credit the original as well right you are fabio!

And it will........

Actually, AFAIK, GPL'd code can be freely changed, and a copy of the source must be distributed along with the binary. If someone gets some GPL'd code and modifies it for personal use, they are not required to distribute the code.

Though this isn't really for personal use if you're uploading it for others.

FUN FACT: GPL software can also be sold, but you must provide the source code if asked.

Yeah exactly, if you just use it yourself, you dont have to republish it with the source.
Sorry for the mistake

They must if it's gpl v3.

Im getting confused now.

Do we need the 16x9 cover arts?, and whats the standard going to be for widescreen, use the 16x9 cover art, or use the standard version?.
