titles.txt at the moment is very useful, and as long as it was kept up to date, possibly on djtaz site, then all you would do is update it every so often. maybe it could update just like you download the covers
Great idea, that would make the most sense!
a central database of covers, and titles, updated by users for users. then for the extra picky among us, a title-custom.txt file could be used to override default names for personal preferences.

While we're throwing some ideas, here's what I what thinking:

What about regional titles and cover support?
Adding an extra letter after the 4 or 6 letter ID could allow for regional title display without breaking support for regular ID like this:
RENP = Sonic And The Black Knight
RENPF = Sonic Et Le Chevalier Noir

This way users from of various European countries wouldn't need to maintain local versions of titles.txt or regional cover packs.
Think about how fun it would be (at least for a geek I suppose...)
When the user presses B to change language, the title would change to the localized title

I'm trying to add the same idea for the covers as well, when "langsel" changes, the cover would change (for PAL games), but I haven't be able to get it to work.

I love your background! But one thing bugs me a bit is that the inconsistence between capital letters, can you make it so all the commands starts with caps or no caps at all? ie. "Toggle Ocarina" or "toggle ocarina" instead of "toggle Ocarina"

Actually those capitalization issues came from the original source PSD from page 1. Guess I didn't think much of it to correct it in mine. Whoops lol. Well at any rate, the source PSDs are there, so feel free to edit the text as you see fit

btw, i have seen a few bugs...

the colors 7 and 8 are swapped and

I wanted to change the coordintes of the cover. but when i chnage it the covers will not show and when i set the coordinates for the gamelist too, the covers will be show but i cant navigate because my wiimote will not found.....
 
Hi Wiishizzer.
I was going to ask you about this, what NeoRame just said when changing the cover coords for left or right other than 446 they do not display and the wii locks up and wiimote flashes like mad but does not connect. Is this a fixed coords?
 
I think it could be a good idea to set a votation of what design of background you'll finally use with this loader, I think Coverflow method is the best. IT's mazing!!!!

Thanks for your job

Let me guess.. you try to set cover xcoord to: 25 ?
 
wow Neorame!

between yours and the one by tripellex I don't know which one I'll use now!
I like the minimalist approach, it makes the colorful Wii covers stand out and catch the eye,
that's what I tried to do a few days ago (what seems to be a lifetime for USB Loaders on this forum at the rate things improve) using what I think is a logo you made

@NeoRame

I really like your box art 3D frame, maybe you could PM that Cover Flow guy and see if he could somehow work that frame onto images... Would REALLY add to the cover flow illusion.
 
is there any option to just list games in the console?

i never cheat or use different lang or video modes
so just the games listed would be perfect
 
Still having issues,

Did the whole 3.2 to 3.2 to 4.0 thing and im still getting the same (DSI) Issue for all versions above v3, and yes i have cios Rev 10.

Alot of people are getting (DSI) errors with the ones above v3,
There must be something were missing thats not documented....

Firmware: 4.0E
Wii: Launch Day PAL (AU)
cIOS36 rev10
IOS60 updated
mIOS GC installed
Preloader v0.29 installed
System Menu v418

How about original one from Waninkoko?

I did per-game save settings in a config file instead on wbfs, maybe you can find this useful?
I hate to touch wbfs be it for renaming or saving settings...

The settings are saved to sd:/usb-loader/settings.cfg

hah I know but perhaps it could be a frame added onto the images or something, who knows fake 3D or real 3D would really compliment that demo. Either way good work on your template
