Well I mean I think the main reason this is happening is because people are pursuing the way the GUI works differently. Some people want to have a list of boxes to pick with the wiimote, some people want something more cover flow style, and some just want to mod the original GUI. I mean you really can't stop that from having different threads or else you'd have one mega thread, and that would be a total nightmare. It's bad enough if a ton of people ask for a .wad or something, but combine that with like three completely different projects going on in the same place and it would get messy. I mean short of telling everyone but one person/group to stop working on their version, this is actually probably the best way to do it.cdreams said:OK this is getting a bit ridiculous. There are about 10 threads with USB loaders and images confusing everyone.
Is it possible for 1 person to collect all the different loaders with the correct images for the background to go with it and have them together under one thread. Nobody can add or delete except whoever makes the thread, and admin preferably.
Right now it's almost impossible to know what images are positioned correctly and what works with what. It's confusing I'm sure to everyone in here.
So although people are trying to be helpful, can this be cleaned up and no more threads all over the place. It seems to happen every time a new loader or piece of code is released, people start threads willy nilly and it's gets way out of control.

cdreams said:I just read a great idea if it could be implemented at all in the various loaders.
Someone mentioned the possibility of having an option to choose backgrounds from within the loader. Is this possible? If it is then it would be a really nice feature.
It would ensure that you could manually select from a number of images to suit your taste. If ones not matching up correctly it would be much easier to weed out and get resolved rather than having to manually replace and test it one by one.

Hey amars464. Yeah that would probably have to be done just to get it all sorted out what's what. I've seen djtaz do something similar in the past, collating all the related materials for something to have in one handy place so maybe I'll ask him and see where he is at.
yea agreed it just seemed that everyone just bitched and screamed like children...Kosaic said:All,
You will NEVER get an all in one loader ... read through this entire thread and you will understand why.
We tried, and the exact same thing that happened here, as it did in all other threads. We tried to keep it simple, tried to let the coders do their thing, but the beggers took over. Ending everything dead in its tracks.
Read, you will understand. It almost happened .... we tried ... but the beggers are just too many.
I have a loader here, with EVERYONE's best implemented ... but will not be posting it as there is no consideration for what it takes ... most just dont care. They are just begging for things, while not reading or contributing at all !
Kosaic, OUT !
I've been working on a Photoshop project, which has multiple layers, for multiple loaders. I could post "dummy" backgrounds, which will show the correct positions for each loader.cdreams said:Update
Ok I just checked the current loader wiki and it's not even that difficult to alter to fix to what I am saying. Basically when you click the loader name it takes you to a image of the loader, but why not have one large page with all the images in there so you can choose knowing they all work on that loader. At the end of each loader it has a bit for backgrounds, why not have a default background in here that we all know will work, maybe even with position measurements so anyone else wanting to try their own image knows exactly where to position correctly for that loader.

Here are the "dummy" background templates, for the three most highly used USB Loaders. (NOTE: These were designed for an NTSC console; PAL consoles may align the images differently!)BlindDude said:yes please
