I'm using v7.2 (1.4), since I can't find v7.3 anywhere in this thread. For some reason, when I boot this version, all the colors of the loader and cover are all messed up. I'll reboot, and then they're fine. I'm not sure what's causing this. My 8gb thumb drive is also freezing up for the first time, and I'm not sure if the timeout/wait for usb feature has been disabled in this release or not.

Try my version based on 7.3 that you find one page ago...

Did hungyip84 make a 7.3 update using 1.5 (missing from page 1), or did you create the first 7.3? Also, what will it automatically update? Will my 16x9 bagrounds or images be affected?

 

[hungyip84]

I just downloaded a missing cover with 7.3 1.5 in widescreen mode, but it downloaded the normal 4x3 cover. hungyip, can you take a look at this?

Are both images_path and wimages_path needed for 7.3 1.5?
Fixed! I meant 7.3 1.5.


What is the game id?

RRDP69 (Rock Band Track Pack 2 PAL)
R2WPA4 (PES 2009 PAL)


not sure why it happened. I don't have the game to try =(

The usb timeout feature was back in 7.3, try to find it on page 219.

For anyone using widescreen on 7.3 here is an updated background for the new 130x225 box art. It works with the default ultimatew layout and the buttons are correct, original background by wiishizzza.

Hi,
My Version is ready.

USB LOADER 7.3 mod 1 {Based on 7.3 and Brisma's Version}
- Download Update [OK!]
- Music Background [OK!]

--The updates will be downloaded from my personal space, but all can edited it from Sources.
|| Search: http://www.ddlfast.com in menu.c ||

-- The background music is off by default, but all can run it putting these lines in config.txt:

# music = [0] 1
#ÂÂ 0 => no background music
#ÂÂ 1 => music background

music = 1

I have tested all and i think that all work.

LINK WITH SOURCES: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=M4981J9G {Correct Version}

ALL FILES IN SD FOLDER MUST BE ON SD:/apps/usbloader/

Bye.
Anarchia.

P.S.: Sorry for my bad english.

The update feature can be run several times, it isnt checking if the file available is newer or different from the one you are using?
Covers are working for me in Ultimate v7 but not in your version.

And this is what happens about 50% of the time when I boot up:

Hate to say this, but this is EXACTLY what my buddies hard drive did when it was incompatible with the loader.... He had picked up a brand new Simpletech 500GB 3.5" external hard drive for use with the wii and it did the same thing, some weird lockups, the loader would count down to 27 seconds before it saw it, etc... If you have a different enclosure or SATA to USB adapter, give that a shot..

Need more info : where must the MP3 be located ? Images dir (from the config.txt entry) of boot.dol dir ?
Is it only MP3 ? No OGG ? Can we have a music_dir entry in config.txt (question for improvment

) ?
Can we set it to "no" in the loader (wich update the "music =" entry in config.txt (you set to "no", the music stops, to 1 it starts again)...
Cool feature.

A part of dream : down a sample mp3 from each game title, like covers

so we have the cover AND a mp3 of the music.
LOL

Any check at loader startup ? Like HBB.
So if check = old version, auto-update and if check = last version, no update available in the loader...

 

[Anarchia]

I have used another way not mp3 ... simple file.
I'm not a coder and i have had much problems... i will see if add or not mp3 player...

Where can we find some SMALL mp3 for each games?

I think that a simple background for all loader is better...

 

[stonetempler]

@Anarchia What about costum Sound .. mp3 in the usbloader folder ??

 

[brownmurder]

how about the sound it has for the channel when you put the game in?

 

[jono@home]

still having problems regarding code dumps with PAL 50 background images.. with 7.2 and 7.3 with occasional dumps on 7.1



using this background (dimension 640 x 530)

coords

console_coords=40,81,350,280

covers_coords=481,110



Driving me nuts...

 

[Anarchia]

@Anarchia What about costum Sound .. mp3 in the usbloader folder ??

It isn't mp3... it is a simple file.c .... look in the source... (music.c, music.h, menu.c)

We could create one... I would like to help. A little MP3 with the ID for each game, would really rock!

 

[User423]

Can I use the 1.5 based Version with cIOSrev9? Would it makes problems or can I only not use the SD-Feature?

Seems like I was wrong. The downloaded covers are 130x225px (it looks like this was changed), and my background doesn't fit anymore. That means your code is ok

It's just a 8gb thumb drive, and it works flawlessly with every version of every loader up intil now. Worst case scenerio is that I just use the last version, or hope that a new version of Ultimate will fix it. I'll keep my fingers crossed about my Seagate Freeagent Go 500gb that should be arriving in the next couple days. Thanks for the input
