Hacking USB Loader... my turn ;)

[j.m.g.a]

Would be possible to make an auto-rescaling dol instead of changing all the covers?

 

[LuffarJoh]

I just installed v7 (with the SD image patch) and when I click thru the games really fast after about thirty games the loader says 'error abort', or something like that and resets to the HBC.

edit: I also get the memory alloc error when trying to insall games.

did you try this version http://sharebee.com/99567139 ?
Ultimatev7.0.1

Problem is that 4x3 and 16x9 backgrounds need to have different aspectratios to look correct on their native screens.

So "I think" to just "auto-rescale" wouldn't really work for this, because x,y coordinates will move/change somewhat.

When using my background the top pixels are cut off.
Has that something to do with videomode?
It's a 640x480 file, non-widescreen (also in settings)

also, what are the dimensions for widescreen (when developing) and what dimensions should it be on sd?

Im assuming that the new widescreen option is wholly incompatible with neorames latest coverart/bg set?

For games that use IOS35 (such as the Wii de Asobu series) prominently, will there ever be a fix that allows these games to run on the USB loader?

I can to confirm something similar to this, seems to happen when downloading cover art... I got to 30th.. and it crashed, returning to homebrew channel.

this was in version 7.0.1

Wouldn't a good idea be for the cover art to be downloaded in bulk, on boot ?...

i.e scanning for new games...

new games found...

downloading covers please wait...

done

scenario 2...

scanning for new games...

no new games found...

853x480 in development mode to make sure the widescreen looks correct, resize to 640x480 and it looks pressed together, SAVE.

So.

DEV = 853x480
SD = 640x480

actually it isn't because in v7 the covers are on the right side now. so you need to use these co-ods to switch them back

covers_coords=28,106
console_coords=252,54,340,290

 

[Elfish]

is there a complete titles.txt ?

Great, thanks!

tried that it didn't look any different the cover and backgroun wasn't lined up properly maybe i have the wrong co-ods. what would be the wide screen co-ods for a skin using this template? half the skins on my site use this so i need to find them out!

@Bladexdsl

cover:
27,105

console:
247,23,368,306

//EDIT:
Maybe you get issues like blackscreen or wiimote won't sync, cos the X cord is not dividable by 4.
But I'm not sure...

Could anyone explain me how to install the library ?
There is so few information in the readme of the library ...

QUOTE(jono@home @ Apr 16 2009, 11:26 AM) new background for 7.0

wide screen only...

config settings...

layout = ultimate_w
wbackground = bg216x9x.png
widescreen = 1
covers_coords=478,110

Thank you very much! I'm now completly happy with how the loader looks.

Besides thanking I would also like to ask a question, to anyone who knows the answer really, I've changed the config.txt so simple = 1, which means the ability to install or remove games is taken away, however as soon as I press + or - it prompts me the question if I want to install or remove, now I haven't tried any of it since... well I don't want to delete any game and last time I installed through the loader itself it took about an hour so I don't want to do that either. Anyway, is it an error in the code or is there something in the config I haven't activated which make it disregard that option? Or does it tell that that wont work once I actually confirm?

It works great but i can see that we have some more space for at least 3 more titles on the screen.So can anyone tell me the console_coords for 15 games per page?Thanks a lot!

My Modded Version... v7.0.2

It is based on v7.0.1 ...
No bug fixed.

I have added the Update of Version (based on Brisma's Version)...
When one will press "2" in home, it will download the last version of this USB loader...

For now the boot is downloaded from my space: http://www.ddlfast.com/SD/boot.dol
but all people can edit it...

DOL: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=VB9EMUIX
SOURCES: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=RJOIJE2S

Sorry for my bad english...
