Hacking USB Loader... my turn ;)

[zorglub07]

Previous sources would compile fine, but when I try to compile the source for v6.6 I get:
"c:/devkitpro/devkitppc/bin/../lib/gcc/powerpc-gekko/4.2.4/../../../../powerpc-gekko/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -lpng"

...I had intended on doing a custom channel animation, banner and icon to match the background theme (black chrome), but I won't have the time for a few days. If anyone would like to give me a hand, send me a PM, and grab the PSD source, as all my layers for that style are there on the above post.

I'd like the channel to use the logo and CD/drive image as found here for the channel background, except done in a chrome/black finish like my loader BG above:

I think this is WiiShizza's logo, can't be certain who originally created it



Also, if anyone who has decent 3D experience could whip me up a small 120x90 animated GIF, transparent with black matte of the famous "Bending I's" Wii logo, I'd greatly appreciate it. If you need inspiration, here is a logo someone did in Blender3D.

1. the graphics in your second link are from me, the picture from the loader himself are are cooperating work from cyrex , Wiishizzza and me....

2. why u want a animated gif???? for a animeted channel? if yes then i say it the 10000000000 times, you cant use gifs , flashs or other animeted graphics stuff for animated channel.....

I could not fix the download image code dump issue. It's an existing problem. If you try waninkoko's cios installer, it would give you code dump too.

fors, are you able to solve it?

Its not really a big deal, its just that was the only bug I could find! your code is getting so stable now. Its more of a nit pick then anything, I updated it in the sample config to reflect this

0 => missing covers are not downloaded (use if not connected to internet)

That would be awesome, but if someone does that, please keep the WS drive white

ultimate v6.6 1.1 can not work with forwarder for path other than c:/apps/usbloader/, when worked as a second loader. Just display the word "What?" and then enter the HBC.

That's not the problem of the loader i guess. Your forwarder is set to look at C:/apps/usbloader/

I was going to attempt to incorporate an animated GIF as an overlay on my loader background, not the channel background itself, using libwiigui. My goal was/is to have the small gif animation loop every ten seconds, with the Wii I's bending at that rate. If it can't be done, it can't be done. If I can't use the animation for my loader background, if anything, it'd make a nice avatar

Also, any chance I can get the channel image source PSD from you NeoRame? I can make the background myself, I'd just like to use your Wii USBLoader logo if you wouldn't mind.

No. I have set to look at C:/apps/usbload_2/ and was tested to work for other loader.

You may test it : http://rapidshare.com/files/221106635/USB_...oad_2_.wad.html

Sorry for the update again. I tried to add this as soon as possible so people could further customize their loader:

Ultimate 6.7

Added config option "max_characters"

default is set to "max_characters = 37"

this option allow you to edit the number of characters being displayed per line.

I think I won't be updating for a while after this release =)

Interesting. If you see a display "What" then that means the forwarder could not find the loader. I will try it.

What images?

Is there an updated list of every configurable option and the settings to work them? Something like that would be useful for the first post.

Cover images

It is included in the package. Look at config_readme

or look here: http://pastebin.com/med45214

Ah, right. The thing is, some settings aren't very clear as to what they do. For example, the Ocarina setting in there. Does setting it to 0 disable the feature entirely so that you can't enable it by pressing the 2 button or just turn it off by default?

If the latter is the case, then why is it even there if it can be set individually for each game? Seems redundant to me.

I tried other loaders and your wad seems not working for me.

I'm wondering... is there a way to put the images on the HD itself? like all the box art... since it's not loaded until the drive is anyway, can't we toss it on there?

I'm not a coding god like the rest of these talented guys... but there has to be a way to do it... would save a ton of problems... just enable downloading from the WiFi, and it saves it on the HD so you don't even have to mess with it anymore.
