Hacking USBLoader with Game Images

[gitkua]

id try and get close to what they have in the nintendo world store, that very nice interface they have for scrollin through the games. gitkuas idea is goin in that direction anyway.

Yeah that's where I wanted to go... but I don't think you can create the 3d effects and stuff with current homebrew, but again; I'm not a real coder... So please, hardcore programmers; hit me up

ALL the menu are great work. But I was thinking instead of having the letters of the game id and other stuff big on the screen and the gane box small to the left hand side. Why dont just put the game box art in the big section an the wording in the smaller box. You really wont care so much about the wording, more of the box art.


What does everyone think about it?

Well that's what I'm doing... I don't care about the console... I'm want the graphics, boxart stuff...

Worthy of a new Thread .... Might get more traction due to how large this one is ...

Not sure what APIs work on the Wii currently, but if SWF/Actionscript or Ajax/Mootools could be used for Homebrew, you could easily create the iTunes and Nintendo Store type slide effect.

Anyone have a decent knowledge of Wii development and can confirm this?

Ok I change nixx loader mod and fix the sd bug and it loads in my forwarder channel. Game covers go in SD:/images and its backgorund goes there too but name bg.png. So anyone can make a channel and check if it loads. I can't check if ocarina works so if anyone can test it please tell me if it works or doesn't.

Edit: Ok I made a Channel but got a code dump but a forwarder channel should work. If you use a special dol.It loads fom SD:/apps/usbloader/
Don't remember who made it but if he tells me I will credit him here

So I fix the ocarina not working and was able to fix the sd bug also.Remeber this is a mod out of nixx' loader. He is the one that did the real job I just did some work on it.

56killer, your dols work, everything loads up, but its the same problem for me every single time.

no images will load up, i just see that ugly black shadowy box, with no game covers showing at all.

images are in the folder images on the sd root like you said to do, just doesnt show any of them

Does it show the noimage.png or simply nothing?

Didn't work for me - got code dump.

Working fine here thanks, put the images into the root of the SD card and it displays the backgroup and box art fine. Didnt get any code dumps either using a forwarder, pressing home button goes back to wii menu too.
Also fixed the problem with excite trucks not loading, this now loads fine. Thanks.

56killer, doesnt show noimage.png, just the ugly shadow box, everything is in the right place, has to be a bug right?

yes, please upload it.
and what did you change to make ocarina and the sd work?

I don't know because if the don't load with any loader then you sd or images has a problem or something.

...... Didnt get any code dumps either using a forwarder, pressing home button goes back to wii menu too.....

Which forwarder do u use? There are so many out there.....

 

[djtaz]

Is there any way someone can fix it so a loader works by getting the images off the harddrive ? and that way we can put the images next to the games and save the SD card.

 

[wiimano]

they load up with this just fine. might want to look into this.

http://wiinewz.com/forums/591533-post80.html

this one works perfect, but the images arent able to be as big, they can be, but it doesnt look right.

its at 120X170 right now, can you go off of this one at all? source is included

Here you go.

I change how the loader mounts to sd in usb-loader.c. Also I made the menu.c unmount the sd when a game is selected to boot.
For Ocarina I didn't found the codes when I made the changes. So I made fst.c mount the sd after you chose the game and then unmount if it doesn't find codes or if you select to applied the codes to umount after the codes ha been loaded.

What exactly is this thread about now ?

Are any of the original "Thread's team" around, or did they all get scared away ?

bluebird12, usptackle, nixx, etc... ?

I cant leave for 5 minutes, things go wild.
