Hi nIxx

could you point out the diff in source between the HBC and WAD versions?
couln't find any special makeflags.

thanks!
 
I have just a request:

PLEASE, LET'S AGREE 1 UNIQUE PNG SIZE!!!

For USB iso loader and for PC WFBS GUI!!!!
 
WOW.

I went to bed, got up and now this thread has 20 different loaders floating around. The image pack from Nintendo is useless without gameID's ...

This thread was on track to have one, consolidated loader that a bunch of us were/are working on. (Bluebird12, usptactical & more)

however, everyone chipping in is certainly appreciated. I suggest we all wait for Bluebird12, and I will finish the covers. Let's get a baseline to start with.

After that, spin off all the threads you want, create all the dols you all want, create wads if you can .... (cuase we all know that will happen)

This is what happened to all the other threads, and the reason we dont have a solid, unified loader. Seems everyone wants one 5 minutes after asking.

I was able to integrate Sorg's USB Loader into this one:

So now we can see 21 entries, plus have all of the other features!

Source Code is included!

Thanks raptor1010! I'll update the first post with links.

Awesome work nIxx! I'll update the first post.

So what else do we need with this? I'll probably make a kid's version of nIxx's ( comment out the 3 lines of code
smile.gif
), but is there anything left?

AND YES to what Kosaic said ^^.
Yes, it would be great to have a WAD of this.
Yes, it would be great to grab images from the iso - tell me how to do that please
Yes, it would be great to have coverflow (thinking about working on this actually...)
But let's just get the main features incorporated first before we start the hard stuff. Besides, there's a new menu GUI version of the loader coming out soon that could negate all this anyways.
 
Anyway, if the forwarder doesn't work for you,

- go and extract the wad.
- then you take the dol of your loader and name it 00000001.app
and overwrite the existing one.
- after that repack the wad.

..And you end up with a channel.
I won't do one, yet, cos there's still too much development.

//EDIT:
I would love to see a force language and force NTSC or PAL option in there.
Just like in GAMMA or GeckoOS.
So I can play some trucha modded games.
ex. Manhunt2
 
Personally I would like to have the background.images with no version tags on it so we can use it for upcoming releases also :-)

amen my bro. thats why im waiting for a done version....

and yes i agreed with cyrex READ HERE.

the germans have spoken! LOL
 
I made just one tiny change so that the loader shows NTSC images for PAL games:

Code: 
ÂÂÂÂsnprintf(imgPath, sizeof(imgPath), "SD:/covers/%c%c%c%c%c%c.png", ascii(header->id[0]), ascii(header->id[1]), ascii(header->id[2]), ascii(header->id[3]), ascii(header->id[4]), ascii(header->id[5]));

was changed to:

Code: 
ÂÂÂÂsnprintf(imgPath, sizeof(imgPath), "SD:/covers/%c%c%cE%c%c.png", ascii(header->id[0]), ascii(header->id[1]), ascii(header->id[2]), ascii(header->id[4]), ascii(header->id[5]));

I can now use Kosaic's collection for my PAL games too!
Thanks all for your work!
 
cyrex said EXACTLY what I said, a few posts up ....

Not that I can control it, but I'd like to see this thread stay on track (the way it was before I went to bed) ... we dont need more guis, no more features (we captured all of them to date in here), no more feature requests, etc ....

Let us get it done, THEN, spin off all the threads with GUI's that have pictures of your dog, kids, whatever
smile.gif


We will have 2 versions here ... one with absolutely everything that has been done to date, and another child version of everything that has been done to date.

I'd hate to think I wasted so many hours already on covers alone, if this get's hijacked, and turns into what all the other threads have .... wishlists .

For what it is worth.

You can probably just try to load the NTSC one first, and if it can't find it then try to load the PAL one and if it can't find it load the noimage.png. Very easy change. I'd do it, but I'm at work atm.
 
Damn...
Went to bed early this morning and the thread was 5 pages long, now we almost reach 20 with lotsa improvements. Congo on all the artworks and tweaks.

Well, we can add background loading from SD too... so all backgrounds can be put in a specialized thread.
