Driving me nuts...

Hi guys,

I think many of you have the code dump issue when using a background bigger than 640 x 480.

I tried to get this fixed but couldn't. For some reason this works in v7 final, but I don't know why it does.

In fact, in Waninkoko's 1.5 loader, he restrict people from using a background bigger tan 640 x 480 too.

I have tried my best. I hope someone who are more knowledgeable than me could find a solution to fix it =)

If you don't need the install feature, you could switch back to V7 final. This is the only work around at this moment. Sorry about that.

Hi all, I can not get the loader to show the correct background, it always shows the default one.

here is my config,

images_path=SD:/images/
wimages_path=SD:/wimages
background = bg.png
wbackground = wbg.png
covers = 1
download = 1
layout = ultimatew
simple = 0
home = reboot
entry_lines = 12
max_characters = 37
savesettings = 1
video = system
ocarina = 0
language = english
parentalcontrol = 0
downloadinstall = 0
hidesettingmenu = 0
console_coords=116,40,404,165
covers_coords=255,229
console_color=8,15
entry_lines = 5

I have a pal 50Hz widescreen TV, i removed the widescreen = 1 setting so it would auto detect (even with it it still did not pick up background)

The config.txt file is in the root of my sd card.

Any ideas?

MP3 file or not, let's hope hungyip84 will merge it in his next release

@Anarchia : what about enabling / disabling in the loader, with button 1 or 2 (now unused with last version) ? with config.txt update in the same time for the next launch of the loader

Great job anyway...

And game_ID.mp3 would be awesome but a little bit complicated I think, even if possible. Let's dream...

The problem with this is, that we can't provide the mp3 files, I guess, because it's all copyright protected stuff. Even if ripped from youtube, we would break laws in nearly every country... but I REALLY REALLY would like to see that! E.g. the OST of Smash has a great collection of songs we could use!

1) "what about enabling / disabling in the loader" i want to do it... but i think when one go to opsion page or other page tha background goes away...
2) game_ID.mp3 i think is more complicated and every time you select a game there is a different music...

and the loader would be much slow.

Strange but I don't get any dumps with an image of 640 x 520. But thats only 10 pixels so that will have to do.

I think your problem is in your widescreen image path..... yours reads like this

wimages_path=SD:/wimages

It should read like this

CODEwimages_path=SD:/wimages/

Try that and i believe it should fix your problem. Also you might try sticking your config.txt file in your /apps/usbloader on your sd card. That is where I put mine.

to 2) never played Singstar/UltraStar? Same is happening there and working great!

It could be just an option like most other stuff. That's the best thing about these loader: you can decide what do you want to have and what not. It would really nice if you or hungyip84 could look into it. Would offer a beer as a thx, when visiting Italy.

About a beer ok! XD
Now i'm working to set: 2 button = music off - 1 button = music on

No never dumped me once. Had dumps all the time with 640 x 530. I tested resizing last night to 640 x 520 just to see, I have a small black bar but its much better that 480 and never dumped me yet.

You should try to make 1 or 2 open a separate menu similar to the options menu, then you could have a whole bunch of things in it ie: music on off change bg.png and anything els that people may think up. It just seems like a waste to use up 2 buttons for just one feature.

Is that as much as you can go? does say 521 dump? try and find the absolute largest and i'll test with it too, its 5:30am where i am now so im gonna go to bed but perhaps that could be the standard screen size

Make widescreen = 0. that will work. it did for me
