Thanks !

Looks good, but doesn't work...

Using r34, trying to extract anything gives an error message. Also, it seems prone to code dumping.

thx

 

[LightyKD]

I'm not a USB loader kind of guy but MAJOR PROPS to the devs who made this

! I always believed that good homebrew looks seamless and should compliment the console. This app looks like its very much a part of the Wii menu and I think it's awesome!

 

[XFlak]

@lighty, so did u get this working then? do u have cIOS249 v17 installed?

 

[techboy]

please, try with cIOS rev17 and report
thx

No difference. Still gives "Error: Unable to copy data" trying to extract anything.

 

[Slimmmmmm]

Is this just a new gui or do you plan to add features/functions, if so what do you plan to add ?

 

[XFlak]

has any1 even gotten this working yet? So far I only heard one report from some1 claiming it failed (I haven't been on my wii in a few days so I haven't been able to test yet)

 

[pepxl]

it loads for me but i didnt bother testing extract or install functions lol

 

[pepxl]

Update

I can confirm it works a treat installing and extracting, i test 10 saves and they all worked

SM 4.1E
cIOS 249 Rev17
SDHC Sandisk 8GB Card

 

[wiiman123]

Thank you so much for this app.

Absolutely nice to see a new release since Waninkoko's Alpha release on github.

Love the gui too.

 

[giantpune]

look what i haz made

Spoiler

this is just a first draft, but it is loading the images and banners from the nand, not from images on the sd/ usb. also, the animations work. the speed isnt perfect because i just eyeballed it from the system menu. and there are like 5-10% of banners it doesnt show properly. if i can collect enough of the saves with banners that dont show properly i probably can figure out whats different about them. after i have a go at fixing the messed up banners, this can be applied to saves from the sd/usb as well. and then the layout can be changed. i was really just focusing on making the banners work here.

@giantpune... awesome awesome awesome work!

I doubt it will ever get put into a usb loader (unfortunately) but still, this is awesome shiAt!

 

[lejong2002]

@giantpune...

Wow, this is what I wanted !!
From NAND ? Really Really awesome !

So we can see images from SD/USB and NAND now?
This means we can see NAND images on usb loader also?
We don't need to download cover images from internet ! Wow !

Thanks dj_skual and giantpune !

PS. I want to see game ID also
