Hacking USB Loader GX

[BlindDude]

Ok, question.. I have a forwarder that I have been using since wani's v1.1. Thing is, its SLOW as hell.

I installed the boot.dol into preloader and when I turn on the wii, the GUILoader opens in about 3 seconds. Really Fast.
Forwarder takes about 10 seconds to start GUILoader.

Anyone have faster times with other forwarders?

Thanks

 

[keyra]

nope the one is use is slow too

 

[Xylexis]

I think the forwarder is slow because it is switching between video modes.
My Sony Bravia is a PAL tv. And when I start the forwarder channel it first tries to get 480i and then 480p.
Maybe that accounts for the slow loading.
Could someone make a 480p forwarder channel. or just PAL, dont know exactly how it works in the loader.

Hi all,

I've been using Ultimate USB loader for a couple of weeks with no problems, but really liked the look of this one so just gave 2 different builds a go (172 and 180) but neither of them detects my USB drive at all? It just sits there saying no USB device waiting 30 seconds but never finds it.

I've tried booting wii with and without the drive attached, attaching after it loads, but makes no difference.

I know the drive is fine, as I said works with the other loader.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Good idea
But is it possible to have the complete file ( boot.dol + all folder + wad) like this : GUIL

thank you

hey deak freak why not put up a separate "you need this" package to go with it with the folders to place in the SD, etc, and have that on the site with the themes and revisions as well... the companion pack if you will

Tx BlindDude....no wonder I couldn't find one. I will give this loader a try now that I know.
Cheers
if you had read the FIRST post, you know it ;-)

It is based on that it libwiigui uses GX for drawing so tantric slapped it on all his new emus. Since this loader uses libwiigui, why not adopt the same convention. UsbLoaderGx or LoaderGX sounds good to me. add disc loading and it's the best loader there is.
i agreed ;-) i like this name too.but i have anothe idea ULoadGX

i would say no, because its not a stable release its only a pre alpha/beat?1?
wait for a stable beta and we release a complete pack....

Hello,

I try to follow this big thread, but I lost the overview.

Is it possible to post once again all the things I need to install this loader.

I mean:

- the directory "apps" will all that is needed in it (boot dol, Icon.png, meta, evtl. config etc.)
- wad
- where to put the covers
- and how can in change the background
- Icons for channel , HBC icon and so on

I tried to follow this thread, but it´s nearly impossible to do this. If I had once the loader running, I will be able to change the boot.dol.

My HDD often needs 10-15 Sec before its detected with the GUIL,
in the Ultimate USBloader, especially an older version, the 1.1 from LOPST,
was quiet faster and more reliable


AND: a FORWARDER-Channel with PAL or 480p initializing , would be my favorite , if theres anybody who will compile

Would be really great, if you guys would give this wonderful Loader a own name; just for the sake of beeing able to tell all these Loaders apart...

And really good job guys and take your time and this will be the best loader out there!

(no Wii in hand but you get the idea

)

god damn it. read the f****** FIRST POST there is all you need
and no there is no WAD and no channel icon from our side because its NOT A STABLE RELEASE ITS A F****** TEST VERSION (no alpha no beta or whatever. its 0.0188!!! )

hello

I try something but it doesn't work. I wanted to change images_path but I have no cover now.
At the beginning , images_path was on the SD root but now I would like to put this folder here : SD:/apps/USBLoader wii/images/

so I change this ligne in config.txt but nothing

wimages_path = SD:/apps/USBLoader wii/images/
images_path = SD:/apps/USBLoader wii/images/


Is it possible to make a lang.txt to modifie the lang ?

somebody have ideas ?
thanks

To get the USB Loader working you need to follow a few rules.

-cover images need to have dimensions which is a multiple of 4 and must be place in SDRoot:/images/

-DVD covers image need a resolution of 160x160 and must be placed in SDRoot:/images/disc/

-It doesn´t matter if you use Boxart/DVD images with 6 or 3 characters if the USB Loader can´t find the 6 character images the USB Loader will load the images with 3 characters.

I think , NeoRame leaves his Posts still in the Clipboard -->> to answer all these stupid questions

@NEO: keep calm, or ignore such posts , we need your coding-skills and Ideas :-)


@all: Good work !!! It´s amazing what happens here !!!

 

[NeoRame]

@ master wenigstens einer der lesen kann und ein wenig aufpasst ;-)

@ master wenigstens einer der lesen kann und ein wenig aufpasst ;-)

Nein, nein.... ich verfolge diesen Thread nur schon sehr lange und hab diese Frage schon öfters gesehen...

@ToGau: You should try to PM some people, if you don`t have an idea on how to run anything before asking in a thread, even if you already tried to for yourself. They might point you to the relevant thread or post... That`s because these question come up very often and many people here are already really sensitised because of the "noobness"

Just for future questions...

hahaha learning my languages here

kan ook nog in het nederlands hoor, deutsch ist auch keine probleme (at least not for reading but writing pfew hahaha) but I think english is the easiest for most people here...

btw excellent development people, I am not a coder anymore (been coding on the Amiga but that was years ago) but I'm following all of this with great pleasure.
And hey: I compile my own revs at the moment, just for the fun of it hahahaha


On with serious work: testing rev188

greets...

OMG hungyip84 great work!!

The only missing feature is the switch for selecting the usb port and the loader will become perfect.

469 games? You are a top notch pirate good sir. Here is your gold star for a job well done

*Arrrrrrrr*

Everyone talks about a config.txt and a title.txt but it is no where to be found. I have read up to page 102 and gave up. All I can find is ppl uploading new version but still no config.txt
This loader sounds and the video looks great but there seems to be no instruction on how to use it and files missing to make it works.
Too bad
Nothing available yet (nothing official)

I can't stand the default them.Looks like crap to me and the text on screen(hard drive text) gets cut off because of the background.

And i can't stand you. Let's see your try on a design for it!? Anyway the text gets cut off because the font just sucks... but as long as i don't find THE FONT i will leave this crappy one in just to annoy ppl like you. I think it's pretty stupid if you would go over to an artist and tell him that his current picture hes working on sucks .... because if it's just half the way done you have no idea how it will look when it's finished.... anyway ... ppl like you just suck.
