First I'd like to say, great Back Ground layout.

Ok, this is what i've found.

I can't seem to get box art to work no matter how I boot the loader.

When I boot through HBC or a forwarder I get the games list and can
confirm PAL/NTSC switching seems to work but I always get SD error
when ocarina code launches.

When loading through preloader, again box art fails to load but this time
so does the games list. Just times out and errors -1.

I'm on a PAL console running 4.0.

Other USB Loaders have worked fine inc the other threads All-in-One loader.

Hope this helps.

@L0ck1E
Thanks for your info!

to get the box art working, you have to have the cover pictures in SD:\apps\"PATHTODOL"\IMAGES
I don't have problems with the covers.
You either have the wrong path or your GameID doesn't match the name of the png file.

About that SD error, I would say that's cos you don't have the \codes Folder on the root of your SD
or maybe cos you don't have a file in that folder.
I don't know exactly. I believe this part of code was done by WiiPower...

And about autobooting that dol with preloader, I can't tell you anything. *regret*

Good News everyone! I got the box art to work! My images are 160 X 225. To get the images working you have to have the same # of games in the "sd:\apps\usbloaderMod\images". The name of the game on the drive is the name of the png file. Ex. Wii Sports is RSPE01 hence the name of the image file is RSPE01.png

@ WiiShizzza
Thanks for the reply. I not sure why it fails to work for me.

I've kept the filing structure the same as other working loaders,
just swapped their .dol out for yours. Logic say it should work
but alas it doesn't.

Again, the same with the cheats. I've had a test file for Madworld
working no other loaders but I'm just getting SD error with yours.

Preloader is the same, others run and load box art, just can't get
yours to run correctly. Only difference with preloader is that the
images folder has to be in the root of the SD.

So I have two image folders on my SD, one in root and the other
in apps/loader/.

Was all just for your info really, I'll keep testing and see what I
come up with.

In the mean time, keep up the good work.

Maybe I'll find something in the source... more or less I doubt it, cos I don't understand it fully...
We'll wait what tomorrow will bring.
Maybe there is some willing Code Guru who can look into the source.

Thanks vetta.. but u gotta remember I did ONLY FORCE NTSC, i never had the option of press 1 NTSC, etc. And my NTSC is based off of Wiipower who originally did it.

I'll add the source to the first post.
Maybe one of the Gurus can proofread it.
Would be cool, cos like this we/I could learn how it is done properly.

I'm on a PAL Wii and as for me forcing NTSC works for all I have tested...

it does work...but not as well...for example it works on crash mind over mutant pal...works on smash bros single or dual layer pal....works on mario kart pal even the texture hack...but if you watch that vid you see it does not work AS WELL as bluebirds based of wiipowers?! just think its noteworthy and should not be overlooked

@vettacossx

I'll second that.
Hopefully some skilled coder takes a closer look at the source.

I'll go end see the bed now. It's pretty early on this side of the globe....^^

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
