- Minor cleanups
19-01-2011 cfg v65a (alpha)
- Updated libfat to svn-4520 which includes FSINFO (by Dimok)
FAT fsinfo stores the free space info to a designated sector
speeding up the time it takes to print the free space.
Previously the entire FAT table had to be scanned to get the
free space which could take up to a couple of minutes.
This was also the reason the option hide_hddinfo=1 is set
so that by default the free space is not displayed .
- Added a way to manually scan and sync the free space in fsinfo.
Go to global options / partition selection and press 2
Then all FAT filesystems will be shown and the free space for each
By confirming with A the free space will be scanned again. If the
scanned free space mathces fsinfo OK is displayed otherwise the
correct free space, which is then stored to fsinfo.
It is enough to do this once, after that the fsinfo should be kept
in sync. (but using some other homebrew to write/delete data from
FAT will make the info unsynced again, until all other apps are upgraded
with the new libfat as well)

- Cleanups
06-03-2010 cfg v55a3 (alpha)
- 249 rev18 fat/ntfs other base than 38 fix
- Bug fixes for "nothing" and button remap actions
05-03-2010 cfg v55a2x (experimental)
- FAT/NTFS support for cios 249 rev18.
NOTE: it overrides the dip plugin which adds frag support
thanks to the mload capability in cios 249 rev18
04-03-2010 cfg v55a (alpha)
- Added new values to the home and button_* options:
priiloader - uses the Priiloader magic word "Daco" to go to Priiloader menu
wii_menu - uses the Priiloader magic word "Pune" to go to Wii Menu
Any other Priiloader magic word can be entered as text (no others exist yet)
Any channel ID can be entered, e.g., FDCL for pepxl's forwarder
Cool Usage Ideas:
To go to Wii Menu when using Priiloader:
home = wii_menu
#OR
home = Pune
To implement a restart function after updates:
home = FDCL #replace with your forwarder's ID
button_H = exit
# Because of the implementation of the options,
# This makes the home button restart Cfg when
# used in a menu like the global menu, and
# exit when used in the game list or GUI.
Implement multiple exit types and channel launchers:
button_B = FDCL # reboot via forwarder
button_1 = HATP # launch PAL Nintendo Channel
button_2 = etc.

so to display German, French, Spanish, etc... unifont.dat is not needed
- Renamed the included Chinese translation files according to standard:
SChinese.lang -> ZH_CN.lang (Simplified Chinese)
CHT.lang -> ZH_TW.lang (Traditional Chinese)

- Fix for switching between NTFS partitions (oggzee)
- Various translation and menu alignment fixes (oggzee)
- Support for new filenames on FAT/NTFS: (oggzee)
/wbfs/TITLE [GAMEID].wbfs or /wbfs/TITLE [GAMEID].iso
- option: db_ignore_titles = [0], 1
Set this option to ignore titles from the database
About button remapping:
Firstly, the guitar default mappings have changed slightly.
The new mappings are as follows:
RED = A; GREEN = B; YELLOW = X; BLUE = Y; ORANGE = Z.
Each of the following buttons can now have its own action:
B, -, +, 1, 2, Home, X, Y, Z, C, L & R.
These actions are valid for the console game list and the GUI
mode only. For options that affect the menus, see below.
The new options for this type of mapping are all theme options
with config.txt overrides and are as follows:
option: button_B = [gui], <other actions>
button_- = [main_menu], <other actions>
button_+ = [install], <other actions>
button_H = [reboot], <other actions>
button_1 = [options], <other actions>
button_2 = [favorites], <other actions>
button_X = A, B, 1, [2], H, -, +, <action>
button_Y = A, B, [1], 2, H, -, +, <action>
button_Z = A, [B], 1, 2, H, -, +, <action>
button_C = [A], B, 1, 2, H, -, +, <action>
button_L = A, B, 1, 2, H, [-], +, <action>
button_R = A, B, 1, 2, H, -, [+], <action>
These buttons can be mapped to any of the following actions:
nothing # does nothing
options # access game options
gui # switch to/from GUI
reboot # reboot to system menu
exit # exit to launching app
hbc # exit to HBC
screenshot # take a screenshot
install # install a game
remove # remove a game
main_menu # access main menu
global_ops # access global options menu
favorites # toggle favorites view
boot_game # boot a game from the drive
boot_disc # boot a game from disc
theme # switch to next theme
profile # switch to next profile
unlock # access the unlock password dialog immediately
As shown, X, Y, Z, C, L & R can also be optionally targetted to
emulate one of the buttons on the Wiimote (A, B, 1, 2, -, +, Home).
If used this way, this emulation will also work in menus.
As stated, the other options allow you to select the default
action in the game list and GUI mode only. The menus can be
remapped by specifying which buttons affect which commands.
These options take a commas separated list of button names from the
following list:
B, 1, 2, -, M, Minus, +, P, Plus, H, Home, X, Y, Z, C, L, R
The following are the mappable commands. All the options are theme
options with overrides in config.txt.
option: button_cancel = [B], <comma separated list of buttons>
Set which button(s) will act as the back button in menus
option: button_exit = [Home], <comma separated list of buttons>
Set which button(s) will perform the 'home' action in menus
option: button_other = [1], <comma separated list of buttons>
Set which button(s) will perform the other or alternate action in menus
This covers switching between options and global options, choosing to
download BCA during install, choosing to ignore meta.xml during upgrade etc.
option: button_save = [2], <comma separated list of buttons>
Set which button(s) will perform the save action in menus
EXAMPLES:
To switch buttons B & 1 around so that 1 operates as GUI while
B operates as back:
button_B = options
button_1 = gui
button_other = B
button_cancel = 1
To make both the L and R buttons on a GameCube controller
operate as back buttons in the menus in addition to B:
button_cancel = B, L, R
Plug in the Classic controller and you can have any twelve
different actions available at once (with A being boot_game):
button_B = gui
button_1 = options
button_2 = favorites
button_- = profile
button_+ = theme
button_H = exit
button_L = remove
button_R = install
button_X = main_menu
button_Y = global_ops
button_Z = boot_disc
06-02-2010 cfg v52b2 (beta2)
- File custom-titles.txt in the base directory is searched
for game titles.
- Titles are extracted from wiitdb.zip but can be overridden
with either titles file.
- The titles precedence (highest to lowest) is as follows:
- custom-titles.txt
- titles.txt
- wiitdb.zip
- directory name (FAT & NTFS only)
- game image
- When saving global options, the saved settings are listed.
- Console color fixes (Dr. Clipper)
- Play time logging to message board (marc_max & Dr. Clipper)
When enabled, this option will put the correct title
and play time into the Wii Message Board log and will
also be read by the Nintendo Channel. However, this will
usually fail if you skip the Wii Menu via BootMii or
Priiloader autoboot.
- option: write_playlog = [0],1
Note, it is disabled by default as this fix changes your
Wii's NAND and cannot be used via autoboot methods.
31-01-2010 cfg v52b (beta)
- Gamecube disc loading

Default: Current the wii language from the following list
JA, EN, DE, FR, ES, IT, NL, ZH, ZH, KO
- Fixed crash issue if booting from disc failed
- Database can now be named wiitdb.zip.
The old naming scheme is still supported however.
17-01-2010 cfg v51 (release)

option: sort = play_date
- Removed empty line from game list when showing database info
- Secondary sort using titles added. Lists should be consistent
when there are matching values now
13-01-2010 cfg v51b3 (beta3)
- Fixed the ambiguity with the game dir layouts (ID_TITLE or TITLE [ID])
- fat_install_dir = 2 will use the new layout (TITLE [ID]) when
installing
- Removed redundant options from main menu.
- Cleaned up the sort and filter menus.
Improved sort menu. Ascending / descending options for current
sort are remembered.

- option: "-asc" is no longer necessary to specify a sort as ascending.
- db_show_info no longer hides the hdd info or footer in the console.
- Added more game directory layouts: (by oggzee)
/wbfs/TITLE_[GAMEID]/GAMEID.wbfs
/wbfs/TITLE [GAMEID]/GAMEID.wbfs
/wbfs/TITLE[GAMEID]/GAMEID.wbfs
When loading games from FAT or NTFS
- Added {PUB} to cover url options.
{PUB} will be replaced by the last two characters of the ID
(the publisher)
This can be used to do things like forcing NTSC covers for
PAL games by replacing {CC} with US and {ID6} with {ID3}E{PUB}
09-01-2010 cfg v51a (alpha) (gannon)
- Wiitdb support. Can be downloaded inside the loader on the

(This will only work with FAT or NTFS drives)
To use ascending add "-asc" to the option.
ie: sort = players-asc
To use descending add "-desc" to the option.
ie: sort = players-desc
21-12-2009 cfg v50c (bugfix)
- Fixed starting games from SD Card with FAT or NTFS

External ehcmodules for these versions are still supported
- Use the new ehcmodule with fat/ntfs support also for wbfs
(but still uses wbfs mode for wbfs partition)
Can be overriden using an external ehcmodule4
External module for fat/wbfs has been renamed
from ehcmodule_fat.elf to ehcmodule_frag.elf
- In case the new fragments method fails for any reason for FAT
it will fallback to the old method
- Other cleanups
14-12-2009 cfg v50b (beta)
- .iso files on NTFS support
The file name layout is the same as for .wbfs files:
/wbfs/gameid.iso or /wbfs/gameid_title/gameid.iso
- Fixes and cleanups for NTFS support (fixed ntfs getf -1 error)
- option: partition=ntfs1 accepted
About NTFS support:
FAT support in ehcmodule has been rewritten with a new
generic wii disc emulation system that is:
- light weight / zero overhead
- filesystem independent
- fileformat independent
It works by supplying the ehcmodule with a list of sector fragments
that specify the location of data using direct sector addressing.
To see the list of fragments one can use debug=1 and they will
be printed out before starting the game.
The number of fragments if limited to 5000, that number is also
the max theoretical number of fragments on a wbfs partition (actually
4600, for a dual layer disc with a 2mb wbfs block size). In normal
conditions the number of fragments should be a lot lower most commonly
just a single big block. Fragments are used to describe both physical
address on hdd and virtual adress on wii disc so if a .wbfs file is used
the list will be composed of 3 fragments - disc header, update partition
and game partition.
libntfs however doesn't seem stable enough for write access at the moment,
so the ntfs partition is mounted read-only meaning install and remove can't
be done from inside the loader for now.
Credits: WiiPower for libntfs modification which returns the list of fragments.
12-12-2009 cfg v50a (alpha)
- Fix for PeppaPig (from NeoGamma by WiiPower)

- cover_style
- cursor
- menu_plus
- gui_text_*
- gui_text2_*

- Presing button A on global options screen works too (same as right)
15-11-2009 cfg v48a (alpha)
- Profiles - aka multiple favorite groups
option: profile_names = [default], name2, name3,...
(max profiles:10, max profile name length: 16)
Profiles can be added, removed and reordered with this option.
But if you want to rename it, you will need to change the profile
name also in settings.cfg otherwise it will be considered as a new
name and the old one will be forgotten next time you save settings.
Profiles can be switched in the global options screen. Changing a
game favorite setting is done as usual in the game options screen.
option: profile = name will specify the default profile to use
saving global settings will also save which profile is used
- Minor fix to favorites switching in console mode
- Update /apps/.../meta.xml when downloading an update.
So that the correct version is visible in HBC
- Added 'Update titles.txt' to global options screen.
option: titles_url = [http://wiitdb.com/titles.txt]

titles_url = http://wiitdb.com/titles.txt?LANG=FR
14-11-2009 cfg v47 (release)
- Minor coverflow fixes
- Cleanups
12-11-2009 cfg v47b3 (beta3)
- Support for guitar controller in the loader (by gannon)
- More banner sound fixes (opening.bnr case)
- Changed the default value of the option: hide_hddinfo=1 But only for the -fat
variant, because checking the disc free space on fat takes a few moments.
- 4GB partition offset fixes
- Increased the updates list length to 8
- Minor coverflow fixes
09-11-2009 cfg v47b2 (beta2)
- NSMB main.dol patch by WiiPower

disable scrubbing when installing, except for the last 256kb which are
stil scrubbed because of the wbfs block size not aligned to wii disc size
- Fixed banner sounds with games that have upper case OPENING.BNR
(Thanks to RolloS60 from wiicoverflow)
- Cleanups
06-11-2009 cfg v47a (alpha)
- Better compatibility with weird WBFS partition setups:
- WBFS on RAW disk device, without a partition table
With such a setup the partition table will look like this:
P# Size(GB) Type Mount Used
-----------------------------
RAW 500.00 WBFS1 [USED]
- WBFS on EXTENDED partition. Normally a filesystem should
reside on either a primary or logical partition, never on
an extended partition. Extended is just a container of logical
partitions. However older version allowed this setup and so
the support for it is back. The partition table will look like:
P# Size(GB) Type Mount Used
-----------------------------
P#1 500.00 EXTEND/WBFS1 [USED]
And the loader will also let you fix the partition table by
pressing 1, which will change the partition type from EXTEND to
a known data type (0x0b, which is also used for fat)
01-11-2009 cfg v46 (release)
- Support for direct launching of games from fat
(Useful for game channel launching, using loadstructor or similar tool)
To specify direct loading from fat, the parameter has to be in form: #GAMEID-X
Where X is 0-3 for wbfs and 4-9 for fat partitions (4 means first fat partition)
- Automatically switch to ios222 in case ios249 is used for starting games from fat
- Only allow IOS 222 and 223 in game options if fat partition is selected
- Improved drawing speed in some coverflow gui modes
- Cleanups
30-10-2009 cfg v46b (beta)
- Added option: partition = [WBFS1], ..., WBFS4, FAT1, ..., FAT9, ask
- Saving global settings will also save current selected partition
- Increased fat cache size in IOS module
- Load FAT module in IOS early in case config has:
ios=222-mload (or ios=223-mload) and partition=FAT*
So that IOS does not need to be reloaded another time before
starting the game from a FAT partition
- Added indication in global options if [FAT] module is loaded in IOS
- Cleanups
26-10-2009 cfg v46a2 (alpha2)
- Faster loading of game list from a fat partition - should be instant now.
The only thing that has a slight delay is showing the hdd free space
in console mode game list (if it is enabled)
- Create game info file after installing on a FAT partition named:
usb:/wbfs/GAMEID_TITLE.txt This makes it easier to tell the titles
of installed games when using a filesystem explorer
- Rephrased the warning message when no WBFS partition found
- Allow to select partition if no wbfs partition is found and disable_format is on.
- Minor cleanups in partition selection
25-10-2009 cfg v46a (alpha)

- 'video_patch = all' will force all modes to the selected video mode.
This will also force progressive / interlaced mode, depending on what
is configured in wii settings. This can be used for example to force
progressive mode if the game will otherwise use interlaced mode (MPT)
- The equivalent of the old video = patch is now:
video = system
video_patch = 1
This will patch NTSC -> PAL modes if console is PAL
and PAL -> NTSC modes if console is NTSC
This will not change interlaced / progressive mode
- Allow wiird to work if ocarina is enabled and no codes are found.

- bg_gui_over.png or bg_gui_over_w.png for gui background
If *_w.png variant is not found then the normal is used.
New options:
- background_base
- wbackground_base
- background_gui
- wbackground_gui
Used to specify the background base over which the overlays are applied.
- background width can be larger than 640 and will be either
- scaled if widescreen
- cropped if not widescreen
down to 640x480. Note: height must still be 480.
- Option layout no longer re-sets the covers_size and wcovers_size
So that a cover_style or [w]cover_size in front of layout works as expected.
09-08-2009 cfg v40 (release)
- Increased timeout for entering password to 30 seconds
- Renamed option admin_lock to admin_unlock as that better describes
what it does - it allows you to unlock admin functionality

08-08-2009 cfg v40b3 (beta3)
- uLoader cIOS 222/223 rev3 support
- both rev2 and rev3 are supported
- ehcmodule for rev2 is updated to uloader 2.5
- ehcmodule for rev3 is from uloader 2.8D
- external ehcmodule for rev2 has to be named: ehcmodule.elf
- external ehcmodule for rev3 has to be named: ehcmodule3.elf
- Minor GUI speed optimizations of rendering and cover loading
- Admin unlock by password
- Hide games from settings screen
- Added new config option (admin_lock = 0,[1]) for admin locking (i.e. Parental Mode).
When this setting is enabled, it will allow all screens normally locked by the
simple or disable_* settings to be unlocked via a "secret" wiimote button combination.
In addition: when unlocked, any covers that are hidden with the hide_game option will
be displayed. To access the unlock screen, hold the 1 button down for 5-10 seconds
and the screen will appear. After you see the text "Enter Code:", press the wiimote
buttons in the correct order. If you were successful, the word SUCCESS will appear
on the screen. Otherwise the word LOCKED! will appear. The unlock screen has a 15
second timeout limit so if an incorrect (or no) password is entered, it will
automatically lock. To set the lock back on with the original settings intact, hold
the 1 button for 5-10 seconds and the lock will automatically turn on. When the loader
is started, the lock will always be enabled, so there is no need to manually set the
lock before you let the kiddies play. :)
- NOTE: this option is enabled by default.
- Added new config option (unlock_password = [BUDAH12]) to allow a custom button
combination to be used for the admin_lock password.
- NOTE: The password length is limited to 10 characters. Do NOT use quotes around the
password - just type what you want it to be. E.g. unlock_password = 12UDAB
- The following are the button mappings for the password:
D-Pad Up: U
D-Pad Down: D
D-Pad Right: R
D-Pad Left: L
B button: B
A Button: A
Minus button: M
Plus button: P
Home button: H
1 button: 1
2 button: 2
- Automatically hide uLoader's CFG entry, so hide_game=__CF is no longer needed.
- Added new option on the Game Options screen called "Hide Game". This allows you
to set which games are hidden when the admin lock is LOCKED. In order to see this
option, admin_lock must be enabled (which it is by default) AND the admin lock must
be in an unlocked state!
- NOTE: this functionality completely replaces the hide_game option, but they CAN
be used together. Any games currently listed in hide_game will ALWAYS be marked
as hidden by default in Game Options and cannot be unhidden until they are removed
from hide_game.
- NOTE 2: An easy way to convert all your games in hide_game to this new functionality
is to start the loader with your hide_game still in config.txt and then go into
Game Options in any game (you may have to unlock admin lock first) and change
something and save it. All your hide_game entries will automatically be saved.
Then you can remove the hide_game entry completely from config.txt.

1. wiicover.gateflorida.com
2. boxart.rowdyruff.net
- Retry downloading from all available servers if cover not found
- Multiple URLS can be specified for cover_url_* options
They can be in the same line separated with space, example:
cover_url = http://site1.com/{ID}.png http://site2.org/{ID}.png
Or in multiple lines using =+ to add instead of =, example:
cover_url = http://site1.com/{ID}.png
cover_url =+ http://site2.org/{ID}.png
cover_url =+ http://site3.net/{ID}.png

which also requires changing of URL to include /USERNAME/PASSWORD/
- Changed the way cover_url options work:
- cover_url* are now global instead of theme options.
- Added per cover style url options:
cover_url - standard (2d) covers
cover_url_3d - 3d covers
cover_url_disc - disc covers
- Note: These options still work and do the same:
cover_url_norm, cover_url_3d_norm, cover_url_disc_norm
- Downloading covers in widescreen mode will no longer download resized
widescreen covers, instead full covers are downloaded and then resized
when they are being displayed. In other words, cover_url_*_norm is used
always instead of cover_url_*_wide in widescreen mode.
To revert this to previous behaviour, use the option:
download_wide = [0], 1 Which will use cover_url_*_wide options in widescreen mode:
cover_url_wide
cover_url_3d_wide
cover_url_disc_wide
- Note: ID_wide.png covers are still used if found in widescreen mode.
If not found then ID.png is used, same as before.
- Changed cover_style to not change the cover_url values as was before
but just selectes the proper url from one of the specified options.
- Console mode game list improvements:
- Added '+' indicators if there are more games in up or down directions.
- Added page indicator
- Use bg_gui_wide.png for widescreen gui background.
If not found bg_gui.png is used instead.

- Fixed: gui style no longer resets when switching to console and back to gui
- option gui=start will switch to gui directly after device init,
without first displaying the game list in console mode
- print IOS version and revision in device selection menu
01-06-2009 cfg v31 (release)
- option: gui_style = [grid], flow, flow-z
Set the default GUI style
- option: gui_rows = [2] (Valid values: 1-4)
Set the default number of rows in GUI mode
- gui_text_color = [black], white, HEX
Set the text color in GUI mode
Note: to use a color other than a black or white, it has to be
represented as a HEX value with the following components: RRGGBBAA
RR=red, GG=green, BB=blue, AA=alpha
Example: red = FF0000FF, blue = 00FF00FF, yellow = 00FFFFFF
- Return directly back to GUI mode if any action is started from GUI mode
Also return to GUI if the action is canceled.
Action refers to one of: install, remove, options, run game
- Re-enabled buttons=options_B
If options_B is used then GUI mode switching is done with button 1
- Changed option covers_path to global instead of theme option
In addition the following options are added:
option: covers_path_2d
option: covers_path_3d
option: covers_path_disc
cover_style will then select which of the above paths is used
Changing covers_path will change all covers_path_* like this:
covers_path_2d = covers_path
covers_path_3d = covers_path/3d
covers_path_disc = covers_path/disc
If you need fine controll on the 2d/3d/disc paths use the
covers_path_* after covers_path.

homebrew channel from a different location, for example: sd:/apps/my_usb_loader/
The location where config.txt is first found is then used as a base for all other
files such as: titles.txt, settings.cfg, music, backgrounds, covers and screenshots.
Note1: the config.txt and titles.txt in appdir will be read in addition even
if the base path is one of the global paths like sd:/usb-loader.
Note2: background and covers paths can still be set to any path
using appropriate config options.
