Hacking USBLoader with Game Images

[Stang]

Thanks for all your (time consuming) work Kosaic

 

[MightyMouse]

yer man, you deserve some serious credit.

perhaps maybe in the final version of this app it could be made to download the cover from a dbase.

i know i'm gettin ahead of myself here but hey lol we've seen so much in 2weeks why not lol

Works excellent!

Keep the good work! This can be the future standard for usb loader

.

This loader should include a feature, where if images aren't found in the right place on the sd card, it automaticly downloads the needed images from somewhere, Kosaic should see if he can host (for free)all of the images somewhere, then he should get credit for the game covers download option ;D

It would be easier for Kosaic and the rest of us, to wait until he finishes converting the images!

** NEW Download **

I have now completed 338 NTSC Covers ... all sized identically and all named with [gameID].png .... I will keep sluggin away at these ... but by the end of the week for sure, I will have them ALL done. So, no requests just yet, but this should take care of MOST of them.

All additional ones after these 338 covers, will be done in smaller downloads, and will only include NEW additions ... This particular package contains all the 190+ I did before + 150 more or so. So consider this a complete package ... thus far.

Again, Someone please mirror as this will only allow 10 downloads.

24MB Download ....

Thanks everyone ... I'm excited at what this particular loader will turn into !

Quick Update
So far i made two small changes

- Increase # of titles on one page
- Use Default TV settings (allowed me to run my pal games on my ntsc console).

 

[TiMeBoMb4u2]

All,

I have 300+ done now (Hang in there with me .....) I have 450 or so total for NTSC (Then I will take requests beyond the ones I have done for NTSC)

I have all the game covers, and Game ID's (for the world ... so PAL/NTSC)

I will get NTSC done tonight, and if you like, I can start hammering away at the PAL ones the rest of the week.

It is flat out Time Consuming .... renaming the images is the biggest hurdle. Resizing and changing to .png formats I have automated ... I didnt feel like writing code to label pics with game ID's , too much room for error.

Stay Tuned

Hey, Kosaic... Just curious what your current count is! =)

Thanks, again!

look up, way up

I'm pushing 400 now .. but getting mroe difficult as the game ID list I have, doesnt sync well with the images I have ...

I'm doing these one by one, by hand, to try and eliminate most errors with wrong covers>wrong games... just takes time.

But I willg et it done ... dont you worry

Sorry for posting again, but just to keep it in this format. What I have updated so far.

-Increase the list of games displayed on one page
- Force NTSC
- Force PAL
- Use TV's default setting
- Child Features (No install, format, delete, etc).
- No Confirmation text, just boot straight into game
- Load background png from SD card
- And of course, now load game banners from SD card
- Ocarina Support
- Waiting time to init drive; increase computability.
- And i think Diggity is working on a "Press 1 for Force Pal and 2 for Force NTSC

Kosaic... You should upload your file to http://www.sharebee.com/ When you do this, Sharebee's servers will then upload your file to five major hosting sites automatically! No more worries about 10 downloads!!!

bluebird, I'm really starting to dig your loader. It's pretty close to the concept I posted earlier...shoulda read your post first I suppose lol. The only difference was I was going to incorporate a whole host of database-driven game details, including ESRB Rating and Parental Controls, Screenshots, Game Site Review, Required Peripherals, etc. Here's a mockup of the GUI layout I designed. I'd be happy to collaborate with you on creating a game database and a new GUI for yours.
