070b77548a OK since the Wii System Menu Player is released now as I already mentioned the source for the loader will also be put on SVN again. Now that i am done with merging here is the MOD17 source.
Changelog since last revision:
- add banner/icon animation support for wii games / channels / gamecube
- add custom banner for gamecube which loads the gamecube internal opening.bnr information (it is much better than the generic one of the system menu) (big thanks to diddy from the wiithemeteam for creating the brlyt/brlan for the banner)
- add gamecube banner of system menu (not used right now since it sucks)
- add banner grid of the system menu (resources loaded from nand) (with button highliter)
- add big banner frame window of the system menu (resources loaded from nand). the banner window has buttons "Settings" and "Start" by default. if parental control is enabled the "Settings" button is replaced by "Back"
- add play count text to the banner frame window (can be disabled as up until now in the gui settings)
- add zoom in/out/scroll animations to banner grid and change into big frame window
- add loading gc banners from ISO and DVD
- add loading wii banners from DVD discs even if the game is not installed
- add favorite level setting to the game settings since it is no longer on the banner frame window
- add new settings section for banner settings
- add option to choose between disc window and banner window
- added back ehci module to support 2 usb drives and re-enabled the option
- add option for 2 usb drives for d2x cIOS as well (will be supported in the future, not yet)
- exchanged "GC Games" and "EmuNand Channels" on the game selection screen (more space for translators)
- add and fixed gui numpad for entering numbers of any kind
- add setting for tooltip delay time
- fix reload of cover image on game list when only 1 item is left after a change (e.g. sort)
- add use of old build in font for credits window because it doesnt look good with the system menu one
- fixed effect bug when scrolling buttons in the settings and the wiimote is over button 1
- fixed bug where entering -1 (Use global) for cIOS was not possible in game settings
- many source cleanups
- add bnr chace setting
- add DML configuration from the loader
- removed creation of temporary "boot.bin" file
- DML custom game paths.
  Additionally i added support for following forms of paths:
  1. configpath/gamepath/game.iso
  2. configpath/gamepath/game.gcm
  3. configpath/gamepath/GAMEID6.iso
  4. configpath/gamepath/GAMEID6.gcm
  Where gamepath can be anything you want inside the configure path in the custom path settings.
  I don't know if GCM files are allowed by DML but i just added support for it just in case.
  Changing path to USB is not blocked currently but games won't run from USB just keep that in mind.
  The "copy to SD before start" feature is not added yet. Listing the games should work though
- DML cheats now work the same way as for wii, gct goes to "Cheatcode Path" as GAMEID.gct (same as on wii)
- several DML internal configs are added as per game/global settings
- added load of last cheat configuration from GCT files
- added init of network into background thread so it is cancelable and has a timeout
- added gc games copy from USB to SD on demand with choice menu to delete SD games to make space, SD games path can be chosen seperately from main gc path.
  all dupicate sd games are prefered then the main path to allow direct boot of games that are already on sd. main path can be on USB or anywhere else.
- added gc disc dump functionality with multidisc, compress and align support (thanks to FIX94 and Overjoy for their disc dump source on which this is based)
- added selection menu for gc multidisc which game to install
- fixed loading game ID when it can't be read from path for GC games and with that loading the titles from GameTDB for them
- lots of string handling improvements (thanks to gerbilsoft for his patch)
- added gamecube banner cache loading (only loading) if available with GAMEID6.bnr or ID3.bnr in the banner cache path. wii games/channels also accept now ID3.bnr.
- added several progress bar cancel buttons on some missing progress windows
- improved calculation of progress speed. now it is always the last 15 secs average instead of overall progress speed.
- added pulsing new icon on banner grid layout for new games
- added resize of widescreen screenshots to 768 width
- added mii extract on save game extract if the file does not yet exists
- added mii extractor and SYSCONF extractor that always extracts and overwrites old files
- changed wifi gecko to UDP socket
- support for DML v1.2+

NOTE:
Banner animation support requires AHBPROT flag to be enabled. If you use old HBC you should use our forwarder or update the HBC otherwise you wont have that support.

I am hoping that now the themers and the translators can catch up with their stuff for the next upcomming official release.

63631b8028 *added ability to boot main.dol directly for channels (real and emu). The launcher method can be setup in the loader setting.
*added channel hooking (real and emu).
*proper catch of none existing cheats on server if file is not found
*added back channel nand emulation mode and per game nand emu settings for channels (emulation mode can't be set to OFF for emu channels)
*improved handle of cached titles. (on first boot of this revision the cache title file will be renewed)
*settings title, keyboard text and key color can be changed by themes now
*added optional background image for list/carousel/grid layouts. The files do not actually exist in the loader. They are loaded if they exists otherwise the default background image is used.See here for filenames: http://code.google.com/p/usbloader-gui/source/browse/trunk/source/themes/filelist.h?r=1148#776
*add flush of homebrew memory before launching app_booter
*change: if titles from wiitdb is not enabled the title will be read from game disc header on /title [ID6]/[ID6].wbfs (iso/ciso) pattern. Title caching can still be used and is recommended in that case.
*added keep of AHBPROT flag on IOS Reload. Homebrews booted now have AHBPROT. (thanks davebaol)
*fixed loading ocarina files from SD when doing nand emulation from SD
*fix port libs includes reference in Makefile

76df2b26b6 *fix reloading into another IOS before launch of game
*add loading of wii games / nand channels / emu nand channels in all combinations into one list
*add button on main view for quick choice between the combinations of the three
*add "Real Nand" or "Emulated Nand" text on the game window prompt when starting a channel
*removed the need of a cIOS to launch the loader (if anyone uses it with IOS58 for whatever reason). The warning that a cIOS is needed is still present.
*removed support for both usb ports at once on hermes cIOS. Each can still be used individually but only one at a time. This is done because of some bugs in the new ehci module which make some games unbootable. The ehcimodule is now reverted to the last working one. Need feedback if the games work fine again.
*some preparations for the upcoming stealth mode feature of the d2x cIOS
*isfs is now initiated once and deinitated when cleaning up only (instead of the whole init/deinit every single access)
*removed choice for emulated nand channel modes. Emulated nand channels always need full emulation which is now always used on emu nand for channels.
*removed unused settings for channels from the per game setting
*changed default partition to 0 when starting with fresh settings (instead of -1 wtf?)

de2fbe11fa *Added NAND Emulation for d2x v4+ cIOS ONLY. You can emulate partial (mainly titles path (including gamesaves and does not include Miis)) or full nand emulation. The Nand path can be chosen (should not be the same drive as game drive and must be a FAT/FAT32 partition (e.g. sd:/nand/). Just put your NAND FS in that path.
IF YOU USE RETURN TO OPTION THEN THE UNEO TITLE MUST BE ON EMU NAND AS WELL FOR PARTIAL AND FULL EMULATION.

*Added back our old font as fallback font in case the wii system font can't be loaded. Also the use of the Wii System Font can be disabled in the settings (don't forget to set font scale back to 1.0 for old font)

53574d6bc5 *threw out mxml because it is pissed on every little crap that is wrong in the xml and stops parsing the whole xml. Changed everything to use official TinyXML now (nice C++ classes). A lot of problems with categories and probably Wiinnertag now should be solved.
*fixed Theme Downloader to actually list the themes (wonder why no one reported that its broken)
*fixed freeze on 0 games and gameGrid
*added a "Sneek Video Patch" mode. According to WiiPower it can come in handy for some games. (Thanks to WiiPower)

*removed alt dol prompt on "default" setting for d2x users
*Added a Block SD Reload option

*modified libcustomfat and ntfs fragment fetch function to support >512 bytes per sector
*Added new ehcmodule (thanks rodries)
*Added real support of using both ports simultaniously without shutting down the other (thanks rodries for the ehcmodule works on this). There is no longer the limitation that the settings have to be on SD card for this. (ONLY HERMES CIOS)
*Moved a few settings to Feature Settings and added a new Hard Drive Settings
*Changed Wiinnertag path to only point to the path and not to the file. You must correct the path manually in custom path settings or reset you configs for this change or Winnertag won't work!!
*Removed a few compile warnings for devkitPPC R23

00e9a9ffee *Added new ehcmodules with better and more drives support on Hermes IOS (thx rodries)
*Fixed reset of the loader when loading game with IOS reload and disabled WiiTDB titles (Issue 1874)

*Fixed timeout timer on startup to count correctly. (Issue 1907)
*Added two new video modes to force progressive video mode, 'FORCE PAL480p' and 'FORCE NTSC480p' (basically the same but oh well) (Issue 1902)
*Added the new 'Return to' procedure for the d2x v4 IOS for Test purpose (didn't test it, need feedback on this one). The old method is used if this procedure fails. Please test it on problematic games (e.g. PoP). (Issue 1892)

7f2778e17f *Set settings partition to 0 if usb port is changed and settings partition is greater than the total partition count on that usb port.

8e962e6187 *Optimized the automatic usb port switching. It is now a lot faster on mounting if partitions are FAT/NTFS/EXT because no port switch is required on WBFS_Open() or WBFS_Close() on those partitions.
*Disabled use of custom paths on other than SD if automatic port switching is enabled. This could damage a partition and we don't want to take that risk. So if you want to enable automatic usb port switching than you have to set all paths on sd:/ first now. Also when in this mode, only sd:/ will be available for setting custom paths.
*Changed setting of usb port switching to a more failsafer way.

NOTE: To all that did already enable the automatic usb port switching and have custom paths on some usb partition. Change this please or else your usbs filesystems are in danger. You have been warned!

d625c5adfc *Added support for using USB port 1 (ONLY ON HERMES CIOS)
*Added support for using both USB ports at once (ONLY ON HERMES CIOS)

Big thanks to rodries for writing the necessary ehcmodules!

NOTE: You can change port of USB device in the Loader Settings. The loader currently does not support loading configs off port 1 (only from port 0)

If you select to use both usb ports the loader will switch between ports automatically, on demand. It is not possible to use both ports at once currently. Right now the wiilight blinks each time it switches the port. I will talk to rodries and see if we can disable it. Using the "both ports" option only makes sense in combination with "Multiple Partitions" option. In that case all games on all partitions from BOTH HDDs will be loaded. I think I don't have to say that switching between ports and loading all games is slower than normal mode with one port only in use. You might wanna just set one port and switch yourself when you need to. Well the option for both ports (automatic switching) is there for the lazy ones who don't like to hit the settings button ;).

ae77bd1b7e *Added support for Wiimms virtual sector sizes for WBFS (sector sizes other than 512 bytes per sector). Sector sizes other than 512 bytes support more games than 500 (sector size - 12 games). You can just format your drive with Wiimms tools and use it.
*Changed USB Loader GX WBFS formatter to choose 2048 as virtual sector size if a drive with a size > 500GB is formatted.

NOTE: Don't use this feature with IOS58 mode. It might damage the partition. I did not build in a safety check for IOS58 mode because it will be removed soon anyway.

6f63f9cf05 *Prepare source code for devkitPPC r23 - replaced removed directory functions
*Added additional sort mode - "Sort by number of players"
*Added support for multiple game partitions.

Note: You can activate multiple game partitions support in the Loader Settings. When it is active, all games from all partitions will be listed in the game list. Partitions can be mixed up as you wish wbfs/fat/ntfs/ext. When the multiple partitions feature is activated than the partition in "Game/Install Partition" setting is taken for new game installation. Also the free space amount will be shown from that game installation partition. This will be clickable in the future listing all partitions with their sizes.

e6a87c05fe *Fixed display of partition size on WBFS partitions with a different wbfs sector size than 512bytes.
*Made the ProgressWindow for game installation more accurate
*Added displaying newly installed games (marked as new) on favorite list, so you don't have to change to full list when installing new games. (Thanks Cyan for the patch)
*Lot's a small fixes
*Added WDM Menu on game start. You can set it in the alternative DOL option (one new option there). The menu lists all DOLs on the disc and if a wdm file is provided in the WDM path (configurable in the settings) than the dol parameter and dol replacement name will be taken from the wdm. The DOLs that are not listed in the WDM but exist on the DISC will be listed at the end of the list.
*Added avoid of multiple app cleanup when game fails to boot

*Changed libfat to use FS info sector on FAT32 partitions. This speeds up the free space information getting to instant. For that the FS info sector has to have correct values. The values of all partitions where homebrews were writing to are currently incorrect because the official libfat does not support FS info sector (i submited a patch) (Windows does write it correct though). That is why there needs to be a synchronization of the FS info sector for partitions used with homebrews. For this purpose a new setting was added in the Loader Settings. You can synchronize all your FAT32 partitions on the USB with it once and you are done (if you don't write to that partition with current homebrews). After that you can enable free space display and it will be instant like on WBFS/NTFS/EXT partitions.

3503f114ed *Added use of IOS58 for Loader option. It is enabled by default and can be disabled in the Loader Settings. If it is disabled the Boot/Standard cIOS is loaded on startup, after reading the config files.
WARNING: If you select to use IOS58 and you don't have IOS58 installed, the loader will be really really slow.
*Fixed reseting of Theme/Fonts when pressing the SD Card button. It is now reloading it instead.
