Alrighty, another new version posted up at the auto-update site as well as the mediashare location.
For anyone that's missed the mediashare link earlier:
http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=a6af63a...8eada0a1ae8665a
(Site is being a PITA for me right now, if you don't see v4 there now, you will soon and it is available from the auto-update system now)
This version is internally called 7.4040 and is built upon Hungryip84's last release of 7.4. The extra digits have been added to the end for granular releases as well as others that may contribute. On the mediashare link it is listed as v4.
Something VERY IMPORTANT for those of you auto-updating from a previous version, lots of things have changed with the auto-update system! First of all, the new URL format if you've set it in your config.txt no longer includes the "/boot.dol" on the end of it. If you've set the "update_dl_url" string AT ALL in your config.txt you need to either remove the "/boot.dol" from the end of the string or delete the entire string to allow the application to use it's default.
Also the new auto-update system checks for a ver.txt file in the SD:/apps/usbloader path, since this is a new file you won't have it after updating the first time! You must simply re-run the update procedure and it will see that you don't have a ver.txt file and give you a chance to force the update. If you force the update it will download the ver.txt file the second time and then you're set. If you're downloading the zip file from mediashare, the ver.txt file is included, please copy it with the .dol file!
After you've gotten it all upgraded the new system will check the ver.txt file at the URL and skip the update if your version either matches or is higher then what is available.
Also added in this release is code that notes when the network system has been started. Many people have noticed that wifi connectivity breaks when games are booted after downloading covers and such. After checking it seems anytime the network is initialized it will break the wifi connection for the game being booted. Instead of having a fix for it I have it setup to notify you if the networking stack has been started. It then gives you a choice to exit the loader, restart the wii, or boot the game anyways.
It's not a fix, but at least it warns you if the networking stack has been started.
Let me know how it works out for you! I've done a LOT of cleanup with the updating code and have done alot of testing with it, let me know how it works for you all!
Good work HaTaX
Your loader gives me only 160 X 225 size images for 4:3. I wanna share 160 X 224 size images with GUI usb loader.
Could you implement this function?

I am glad that ppl are still looking into this thread!
@Thitsu10
great job! you can try to add downloading box art that is 128 x 224 for widescreen. I think that would become the dimension for widescreen box art in GUI loader.
ok, I tweaked it a little bit more per hungry's suggestion... now downloads 160x224 when in 4:3 mode..... and 128x224 when in 16:9.... also added the version right under the Used Space .... says "UltimateLoader v7.412"
have fun
