Hacking Configurable USB Loader

[oggzee]

NEW: cfg v4:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/gl0yyn5oxaj/...Loader_cfg4.zip

Changes:
- Rebase code to waninkoko SDUSB Loader 1.4
(this includes the wbfs fixes)

WOW! You're a machine!

not me, waninkoko is a machine!

how do i get the ocarina mode to work? i read the readme, i changed the value to 1, but i dotn see anythign when i hit 2 to activate it...

If ocarina is enabled and you have the proper codes on sd:/codes then,
when you start the game (as normal with A, and confirm start) then you'll get:

[+] Ocarina: SD Codes found.
Press A button to apply codes.
Press B button to skip codes.

Presing A again does the trick.
I tried it now with MadWorld (RZZP8P) and I was invincible.
Hope this helps, I'm not exactly expert for ocarina, I don't use it.

I'm having an incredibly hard time getting covers to load.

I have the following:

# USBLoader config
background = background.png
layout = original2
covers = 1
simple = 0
ocarina = 1
home = exit
video = auto
covers_path=sd:\usb-loader\covers

The covers are in there in PNG format with their 6-character game ID, but it's not showing up at all. I'm only getting that ugly anime-like guy holding a cube.

If it's useful, I'm able to renaming titles using the titles.txt file, and the configuration file is in sd:\usb-loader\

Currently using rev10.

the file can't be downloaded, some error apears saying that the FBI and CIA has your files in examination...!!!

try having a copy of the config.txt at SD:/apps/usbloader_cfg/config.txt ...!!

 

[joshed]

is ocarina CONFIRMED working with the CFG loader?

 

[ether2802]

Just by the oggzee...!!!

lol?!?

Is there a WAD that loads this without giving a code-dump by any chance?

I gave that a shot. No go.

It works when I used the actual 1.4 USB Loader... but if I do that, I lose Ocarina and Renaming titles.

 

[phrozenfeonix]

Try covers = 0 in both config.txt?

Edit: nvm, i have covers=0 in my apps/usbloader/config.txt and covers=1 in /usbloader/config.txt...

Is there a WAD that loads this without giving a code-dump by any chance?

I believe you can make a .wad file with this or any boot.dol injected, but you got the code dump when using a forwarder channel...!!

 

[Anorhc]

Yeah, I tried that (thinking that it might be counter-intuitive), but gave the same results.

I'm also wondering if there's a forwarder we could used to embed in a prefered WAD to load this loader.


Oh well... despite the covers not loading, ocarina and renaming works.

Downloaded fine for me...

It would be nice if the sample configs better matched the sample backgrounds..

I.e. the backgrounds that have the covers and consoles in different positions, their (x,y) co-ords could be shown in the sample configs so we know where they are.. I noticed the config_covers.txt and config21.txt, but the 21c background has both windows, yet neither config defines the co-ords in them.

Wow. I finally got it to work. I changed:

covers_path=sd:\usb-loader\covers

to

covers_path=SD:/usb-loader/covers



Weird that it wants forward-slashes....

Exactly forward slashes are must! Not weird, that's how slashes are on Wii, I'll add this to the readme

Or maybe I could just convert them so it would work either way...
BTW, the path SD:/usb-loader/covers is the default, so you could just comment that line out and it would work anyway.

The configurable feature has been merged up to the Ultimate version:

Okay, here is the configurable version

Configuration is just the same as oggzee's version, except:

path should be a full path

(for example, instead of SD:/images, you should put SD:/images/)

use "SD" instead of "sd"

name changed to images_path instead of covers_path (put your background under images path)

ocarina, video and home option have been removed.

simple = 0 is normal version
simple = 1 is child1 version
simple = 2 is child2 version
simple = 3 is teen version

put the config.txt under root of SD or under SD:/usbloader/

put titles.txt under SD:/usbloader/

Thanks hungyip84!

I was preparing to do that anyway, but you saved me a lot of work, you're incredible!
Although, I prefer if the default config location is sd:/usb-loader so that it would match waninkoko's path.
With the config options in the ultimate loader, I guess I can rest my case now

I'll see, maybe I'll come up with something else to add...

Posts merged

This seems to be the latest ultimate version, which includes the config options:

QUOTE(hungyip84 @ Apr 13 2009, 08:34 AM) All bugs are tested.

1. Sorting is case insensitive now
2. home option finally got fixed

Here is the V5. I don't think V4 is needed now. (Updated with reboot default and also white background default)

I noticed the config_covers.txt and config21.txt, but the 21c background has both windows, yet neither config defines the co-ords in them.

To further this...

The sample configs have a default of 'small', and the coords set to:

console_coords=260,115,340,218

(Are the height/width in pixels or characters??)

Could someone provide the co-ords for the various sizes...?

Wow. I finally got it to work. I changed:

covers_path=sd:\usb-loader\covers

to

covers_path=SD:/usb-loader/covers

Actually the sample config shows backslash directories.. (and no hyphen in the dir name)

CODE

# covers_path=pathÂÂ [sd:\USBLoader\covers]

Btw, this is, by far, the best idea for this mod (usb loader).. everyone can get what they want out of it.. (hopefully)
