Update to 7.406 released!
No one makes any updates?! HAH! I would have posted this up last night, but GBATemp was dead in the wee hours last night, and mediafire was also messed up for uploads. (They seem to have a problem with their verification system hanging up)
Anyway, in that amount of time I made v5 and also v6. v6 is posted on the auto-update site and if you check, you should find version 7.406 available. v5 was meant to be a quick release to get the auto-resizing ability out there as well as allow you to adjust the resolution used from your config.txt if you like. The rest of the features below are added in v6 only.
Addition #1) Auto resizing of downloaded cover art.
The ability to specify a custom URL for download is now GONE! This has been replaced with the auto-sizing address from theotherzone.com. You can specify what resolution you like with the parameters, so that you can share the images downloaded with another application like GUI loader by setting the resolution to something like 130x224: (wimages is for widescreen, images is for standard)
Addition #2) Created a setting to have the auto-update screen hidden in the game settings menu.
When setting the below value in your config.txt is set to "1" the auto-update function will be moved from the main games list into the game settings menu. This is useful if you're using the simple mode or parental controls to keep the auto-update system hidden from the main menu, and accessible from the game settings menu ONLY. The auto-update function is exactly the same, but you will see the prompts for it in the game settings screen only:
Addition #3) You can now globally toggle your download settings from within the loader.
If you goto the auto-update screen you will see a new option by pressing "2", this will toggle the setting of the "download = 1" setting in your config.txt. Note that this does NOT change the setting in the config.txt, but will allow you to turn it on or off from within the loader. If the network has already been started it will notify you of that and NOT disable the networking. The purpose of this is to keep it from trying to initialize the network connection on a needed basis. Lots of people have trouble with the loader code dumping if no network is present, or starting a Wifi enabled game after downloading from inside the loader. There's nothing to add to your config.txt, this function will just toggle it on and off from inside the loader for that session ONLY.
As always, you can download this update through the auto-update system or you can use the link below to get the entire package including a loaded up titles.txt, meta.xml and icon.png for the homebrew channel:
