Hacking USB Loader... my turn ;)

[THitsu10]

Wow, since I went to bed a lot of things are happening.

The download mods are great. Do you guys want to add the download covert art control?

If you want that, then you need to get a "game boot confirmation" because there is no available control in the select page.

I actually miss the "game boot confirmation" ..... bring it back

...... and move the language select to that page too

It wasnt really a complaint that ive been ignored more like a, i know its moving fast and i got over looked so might as well post again.

And all right ill give the original one another go.
If that doesnt even work i should probably post there, although with a 143 page thread and a bunch of coders who now what there doing i figured someone here might have an answer.

Edit:
Well original waninkoko's/kwiirk v1.4 works fine so its just this thats got an issue.

Possibly you guys have something extra installed on your wii's that we are missing?

Can you try deleting the config.txt?

Deleted, still the DSI error remains
I have been editing my before post to add in the suggestions ive tried and result so yeah view: POST

okay guys.
I messed a bit with that 16:9 thingy. And I guess, I did it.
Only checked on my 16:9 PAL TV with component cable (EDTV 480p)

First of all you need that 16:9 code fix

Video.c

ÂÂÂÂ/* Select preferred video mode */
ÂÂÂÂvmode = VIDEO_GetPreferredMode(NULL);
ÂÂÂÂ
ÂÂÂÂ/* Allocate memory for the framebuffer */
ÂÂÂÂframebuffer = MEM_K0_TO_K1(SYS_AllocateFramebuffer(vmode));

Change to/add

Video.c

ÂÂÂÂ/* Select preferred video mode */
ÂÂÂÂvmode = VIDEO_GetPreferredMode(NULL);
ÂÂÂÂ
ÂÂÂÂvmode->viWidth = 678;
ÂÂÂÂvmode->viXOrigin = (VI_MAX_WIDTH_PAL - 678)/2;

ÂÂÂÂ/* Allocate memory for the framebuffer */
ÂÂÂÂframebuffer = MEM_K0_TO_K1(SYS_AllocateFramebuffer(vmode));

It's not included in any source available, yet. So you have to compile it yourself.
I'm sure Hungip84 will implement it asap.

and after you have compiled the dol with the fix, use it as usual.
U must note, that your standard bg.png will now look squeezed on TV.
U need a 16:9 bg.png!

Like this:

for this bg u'll have to change to the following in config.txt

console_coords=40,71,340,290
covers_coords=482,110

And at this point, you also need to resize your covers to 120x225!
All together it would look like this on your TV, then.

Looks like screen filling widescreen, doesn't it ?

While working this out, I faced some weird issues with the config.txt
Anytime I changed coordinates, height, or width of the console, the loader won't boot up. It just shows black screen. So i did not move the console.

Second issue was:
When changing the coordinates from the box art, x > 482 then I got a wiimote error after booting up the loader... Need to power off the wii.

it's weird... I don't have any clue why that is... Anybody ?? Hungip84?? Maybe a bug in source?
I also tried different variations of imgPath[]; But issues would remain....

And for the designers in you:
To create proper 16:9 background images you'll have to create your image in 853x480
and when you're done resize it to 640x480

Hope Blue-K will redesign his pseudo-Coverflow-background but in 16:9

That'S it for now.

The 16x9 Ratio looks really nice on your PAL-LCD

Great Work, WiiShizzza

Hope that someone put that into a DOL-File, want that feature

here's the dol, you will need to grab that background and add those coordinates to the config in order to work, it looked perfect on my TV, finally!

Thank you very much for this, WiiShiiza!

I'm pretty sure something's missing from the source on the OP. I also got a stack dump doing some edittings on the source (nothing that would freeze the Wii).

Yeah, a folder called "lib" containing 1 file called "libpng.a".

@hungyip i find this one is great:
DownloadCoverMod
from LuffarJoh: http://sharebee.com/526a4768
+ language select ( in the confirmation screen )

= nice

 

[WiiShizzza]

Hey Hungyip84.... I'm a bit bored.... You got something to test for me? ^^

Also I wonder if you got an Idea for the issues I had when moving the console and the box art:

I have that. If I didn't, it wouldn't even compile.

Could you show any picture of this loader?

 

[Bladexdsl]

what about transparencies there's gotta be a way to do it

I actually miss the "game boot confirmation" ..... bring it back

...... and move the language select to that page too

Too many different opinions out there. I think I might add back the "confirmation page" but keep the language select on first page. Not sure...

 

[jarock]

Here is my final for a while background. Have another project to do.
Also Going to make a wad and matching artwork.

Jarock

 

[hungyip84]

I would hope someone could take my turn to continue on this project. I am feeling exhausted XD

 

[WiiShizzza]

you're all working with Dimok, right

-Relax hungyip84... take some days off. You deserve it!
I would do same

 

[starstremr]

Well guys this is awesome it has come along really well. another cool feature if possible is to have the backgrounds in a folder and have them change random each time you were to run usbloader.

 

[duveldg]

Yeah hungyip84

Everything is working like it should we can wait for your next release. The last few days went like a storm. All those fixes, add-ons. Nice work. Take a few days and reload and come back with a overdone V7 with widescreen support

haha.

Thx man you are rocking the scene.

 

[RC89]

you should extract the libraries to C:\devkitPro\libogc\

//EDIT:
Or you could download the complete ready to work devkit folder from here:
http://rapidshare.com/files/220822661/devkitPro.7z.html

Somebody could mirror it, if needed.

Could you please upload the devkit somewhere else like http://megaupload.com, cause i would really love to have that, thanks

Agreed, the progress made in just these few days in this thread is unbeleivable. I wish all threads here were this productive! Doing a great job guys v6 is the "shizzle", going to try the newer builds soon!

sounds good to me..... i think the main reason i like the "confirmation page" was the fact if i picked the wrong game... i could always go back

 

[WiiShizzza]

If somebody wants it, I have a 16:9 V6.7 version with proper bg and matching config.txt right here:
http://ul.to/29ud5n

You know where to put the files, if not, check first post....

What you need is the covers, but in 120x225 to work with this 16:9 version.
Go find them and resize yourself
