[Kosaic]

Kosaic, only NTSC games or are you working on PAL too?

NTSC to start with

If we can get all these incorporated in it would be the most completed USB out. Would this work with a channel forworder? I can not try it right now my kids are playing on wii.

All of that in 1 loader would be awesome. There are just so many different loaders out now, it's difficult to keep up.

 

[forbore]

Is it possible to make an app that can view the 00000001.app file from SD card for a USB loader. I guess it would be a lot of coding...

Yeah all in 1 loader would be some nice "spring cleaning" but maybe have a non childproof version along with a childproof or something...

@bluebird12: VERY NICE detailed listing of each loader version! Now that's what we need!!

I will be updating the first post momentarily....

 

[bluebird12]

Thanks a lot, ill start compiling soon after. I'll do a "child version" and a "non-child." But ill hold off from forcing anything until diggity is done, i saw he posted on another thread and he is moving along quite nicely.

yes very nice listing but you missed the ocarina implementation by fisheyes: http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=146629

Here are the First 194 NTSC Game Covers for everyone. ALL resized to 160x225 exactly, and in .png format. They are named already to work with bluebird12's app ( [GameId].png )

194 NTSC Game Covers

Can someone please mirror ... This will only allow 10 downloads.

I'm now working on the rest of the NTSC game Covers ... (another 200+) Stay Tuned. They will take a while.

bluebird12, just by way of info, and I know you already mentioned this, but if you have just 1 game cover that is say 170x230 for example, when you switch to the next game cover, there are remnents of the last oversized cover showing .... You might want to re-think how these are transitioned (just repaint the background in between maybe?)

Just a thought ... The way it is, ALL covers must be EXACTLY the same size ... However, they should be the same size anyhow

Where is the image processor located,, i have cs4 but cant find that

Thanks

Would it not make more sense to have the game images load from the USB drive and not the SD card ?

That way someone could create a WAD that would not require the SD card at all and just load the games and the images from the USB drive and remove the need for an SD card once its set up ?

Lol, usptactical made the gui usb loader. Not me! I'm merely going to try and compile different features into his work.

 

[kedest]

Now if someone could rename those files to the PAL names

i don't think that it will work right now. it would have to be integrated into wbfs. the filesystem itself is very specialized. wanin or kwiirk had to work that out, like other bugs.

I'm sure he will fix that

The blank.png file overlays the previous image (i.e. whites it out). I originally had the blank.png a larger size - in the cases where the next image was larger - but it also whites out part of the background. That's why I mentioned that I probably should have just reloaded the background image between each cover image - and am in the process of doing that just to see if it flickers. Actually, the blank.png isn't even needed if they're all the same size because if there's no image, the noimage.png is displayed. Besides, if you make a nice fancy background, you might want to put a frame or something around the image so you'll want them all the same size anyways.
