Hacking USB Loader... my turn ;)

[usptactical]

@WiiShizzza: How do you report a bug fix (that's probably in most/all of them) when there are 10 different threads of loaders floating around? Haha!

Anyways, to fix the bug where a really long title creates another empty line in the list, you need to change the following in menu.c:
#define MAX_CHARACTERS 38

Make it 37. It's one too big.

#define MAX_CHARACTERSÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ37

-edit-
BTW, I tried 56killers loader and it seemed to have fixed the SD bug. You might want to look at the code and grab that.

 

[WiiShizzza]

one more.now i`m done.

Very great! I really like this. Perhaps you could use another font in your next images. that will look much better.

Damm, I hate you Shizzza

. I was just settled with an other version, made a background and than that

...last time I worked without a psd.-File, I swear

...hard to convert a Theme if you only have a .png...anyways, it's done, here's the Cover-Flow Style:

Tested and confirmed to work. Also good if you have a 16:9 TV, you won't recognize the black bars

.

@Loader: Looks realy nice, keep it going!!! Only cheats are missing, hope someone will sort that out soon

. But nice work with forcing Languages and NTSC/PAL

. I've got now some games to work which haven't worked before!!! Thank you!!! Gute Arbeit

Dang

But great you find the time and got the endurance to bring out this great lil skin. Really a nice one.

...
k im hopin for success with this. i cant seem to get any other loads besides one that will load the game covers. I like the design of this the most and hoping this will work.

the question is, you said

SD:\apps\"PATHTODOL"\images\

is it "PATHODOL" or just PATHODOL

put all images in images folder
bg.png in image folder
noimage.png ?

does it have to be PATHODOL, is that required to make the images load?

I will report back to see how this works, I like this one the most, great work wiishizza

Man, you dont need to name it PATHODOL

That means you put "the path to the dol" in there.

Is it possible to apply transparency to the console to see the background?
For example to see Al in this bg XD.

As far as I know, it's not possible to make the console transparent...
I'm sorry. Really like your idea

Okay, I have fixed this issue, too.

 

[kevenz]

gives code dump on a .wad files.

the boot is probably searching for the pictures in the same path...... I guess you need to set a full path instead.

 

[kedest]

did you also take a look yet at 57killer's fixes for ocarina and sd bug?

 

[Don Killah]

Shizza what about the dumpcode while pressing the switch off button?
Here's what to be done (full credit to Jacobeian):

in sys.c

replace

void __Sys_ResetCallback(void)
{
ÂÂÂÂ/* Reboot console */
ÂÂÂÂSys_Reboot();
}

void __Sys_PowerCallback(void)
{
ÂÂÂÂ/* Poweroff console */
ÂÂÂÂSys_Shutdown();
}

with:

u8 Reboot = 0;
u8 Shutdown = 0;

void __Sys_ResetCallback(void)
{
ÂÂÂÂ/* Reboot console */
ÂÂReboot = 1;
}

void __Sys_PowerCallback(void)
{
ÂÂÂÂ/* Poweroff console */
ÂÂShutdown = 1;
}

in sys.h:

add

extern u8 Reboot;
extern u8 Shutdown;

in wpad.c, Wpad_WaitButtons function:

add

if (Reboot) Sys_Reboot();
if (Shutdown) Sys_Shutdown();

in the while loop, just before

buttons = Wpad_GetButtons();

If/when this is done are there any more lingering bugs, or is this pretty much "done" until a full GUI comes along? Soooo hard to keep track of it all hah.

And here's how to enable the NTSC/PAL covers to load whatever system is used, credit to madoc where credit is due:

I made just one tiny change so that the loader shows NTSC images for PAL games:

ÂÂÂÂsnprintf(imgPath, sizeof(imgPath), "SD:/covers/%c%c%c%c%c%c.png", ascii(header->id[0]), ascii(header->id[1]), ascii(header->id[2]), ascii(header->id[3]), ascii(header->id[4]), ascii(header->id[5]));

was changed to:

ÂÂÂÂsnprintf(imgPath, sizeof(imgPath), "SD:/covers/%c%c%cE%c%c.png", ascii(header->id[0]), ascii(header->id[1]), ascii(header->id[2]), ascii(header->id[4]), ascii(header->id[5]));

I can now use Kosaic's collection for my PAL games too!
Thanks all for your work!

 

[zorglub07]

This would be useful to display missing covers but even if changing P to E works for most games it doesn't work for all (Fifa 09 PAL is RF9X69, No More Heroes PAL is RNHP99)
besides, to be "ultimate" one needs proper PAL covers, the title and artwork is not always the same.

Hi wishizzza,

can you incorporate wipower's toy8 force NTSC in your dol? His toy works perfect plaing PAL on a NTSC console as force NTSC in posted dol would not load game.

 

[KongsNutz]

WiiShizzza -

Hope you don't mind but i have uploaded your versions to my own site and on my forums.......all credit of course to you Nixx and so on......

Awesome version man, for me this is almost complete except that stupid bug that doesn't allow games patched to IOS249 to work.

Maybe have a look at the source of backuplauncher 3gamma as that allowed those games to run.

 

[wiimano]

i really like the look of this loader, and the options it has, but this has the same issue as nIxx's, he explained what the problem is, so hope you can fix this in yours as well, same issue here

If they used my source it´s possible that they have a stupid little bug
the array (imgPath[20]) is most likely to short and that´s why some people see the pictures or only the bg.png because the bg.png still fit´s in the array but the images not.
Change it to imgPath[200] or so then it works

Sorry haven´t seen it before.

whatever source this is from this site, i downloaded the one at the top of the page http://www.theotherzone.com/wii/ntsc.php

this loader actually worked to load the images, yours as well as nIxx's have both failed to load images, but that explains it there.

Sweet, I hope this loads Brawl texture hacks. I'm gonna test it.

Indeed, works perfect. But...

- Fixed Gamelist flashing on UP/DOWN

This wasn't really fixed, heh. But thanks for the nice job!

 

[KongsNutz]

yes it was sess, before the screen would flash when you went down the list on Shizza's last version.

This one doesnt

 

[sess]

Oh, I thought he meant about the "Used Space, Free, Language, etc." lines.

What you said didn't really happen, yeah. Good to know. :}

Thanks for the job! Let me try your SD patch and see if it work on my loader =)

 

[TrickyTony]

Hmmm Brawl+ codes did not load, but that is all I use Ocarina for, so dunno for anyone else? Brawl+ uses a sorta unique code method so maybe that's why it didn't work...

Edit: Otherwise this is awesome! Thanks now I can stop looking at loaders 200 times a day until a "proper" GUI comes out.
