1392093741 *Compatibility issue fix for some Seagate HDDs
*Added left/right on game info screen to go to the next/previous game
*Fixed loading of titles cache settings
*Changed to show always the first game as first visible cover on carousel

d52b7e0ac3 *Fixed little bug which prevented loading games from sub folders on fat/ntfs/ext
*Added a "Details" button on the GameWindowPrompt which calls the game info window
*Added a cache titles setting. You can disable caching titles with that. Also when re-enabling this option the cache file is newly generated. This is there so it is possible to reset a false cached title without having to delete the "TitlesCache.bin"
*Added button 2 on zoom mode of 3D Boxes to rotate the box fast by 180°
*Increased speed for box rotating with WiiMote D-Pad

037edbe7ea *Fixed crash with loading .iso files
*Fixed freeze in theme menu when its empty
*Optimized the game list loading on fat/ntfs/ext. This should speed up the loading process.
*Added cache of game titles. This will speed up the startup after the cache file is written (in other words on second start of this rev). A TitlesCache.bin will be created in the same path as the wiitdb.xml for this. This should especial speed up the startup of fat/ntfs/ext partitions by a lot if no sub folders with the game titles are used, like GAMEID.wbfs only. That must have been painfully slow before on a lot of games. Should be at about the same speed as with sub folders now. I would still recommend to use sub folders.
*Removed wiilight (disc slot) blinking when switching USB port on Hermes cIOSes (thanks rodries)
*Added the ehcmodule sources from rodries to the branches
*Updated language files

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.
*Some source optimizations
*Increased warning output with -Wextra and fixed the compile warnings

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 ;).

25946236ab *Added a "Theme Menu" to the global settings
*Fixed apply on theme downloader after redownloading a theme
*Removed old theme changing menu (no one ever found it anyway)

NOTE: If a theme now includes a "theme_preview.png" in the image folder, it will be shown in the Theme Menu. If it does not have one than when downloading a theme, the loader will copy the preview from the theme downloader to the theme image folder.

NOTE to Themers: Just fyi, if you badly need to use another format than png for the images whyever, than just do so. Just rename the file from the actual format extension to .png extension. The loader will detect that it is not really a png and use the correct format. Supported image formats by USB Loader GX are png/gif/bmp/jpg/tpl.

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.

ca55f426c0 *Fixed a few bugs in the multiple partition mount (causing crashes at some certain situations)

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.

1d2854c777 *Fixed issue 1808
*Fixed issue with crashing carousel when switching from empty game list to none empty list.
*Added download for Full HQ & LQ Covers. When both are checked HQ Covers are prioritized.
*Added support for Full HQ & LQ Covers:
Full covers are currently used only in the GameInfo Screen (Press 2). The Box can be rotated in there with the Nunchuck. When the box is clicked it will jump to the midlle of the screen. Here it can be rotated with Nunchuck & Wiimote D-Pad. Also it can be zoomed in/out with the PLUS or MINUS buttons. Zoomed in covers are currently cut off when going too far into the screen because the axis had to be layed to the middle to keep the symmetry. Don't report issues about that. It's known. Another use of full covers might follow with a new layout if we think of something nice ;).
*Added support for different box colors. Box colors are taken from WiiTDB so if you get a wrong color complain at WiiTDB :P.

2764ac6b76 *Added support for physical sector sizes other than 512 bytes per sector for wbfs partitions only! Others filesystems are currently still hardcoded in their libs. Tested with a 3TB drive with a sector size 4096 one wbfs partition (thanks dexter).
*Added initial source for support for virtual sector size other than 512 bytes per sector on wbfs partitions. This still doesn't work (not tested) and will still cause many code dumps because of some unfinished things. So don't use it yet.

*New ehcmodule for Hermes IOS versions. This gives a big boost in compatibility to usb drives using Hermes cIOSes. Now many drives should work with it. Hermes cIOSes have now probably the best compatibility to usb devices. (big thanks to rodries here) (more to come ;))

e5db72b71d *Fixed the parental control settings code dump
*Reworked almost everything about alternate DOL loading (I am wondering how loading from SD/USB even worked)
*Added new Option "Default" for alternate DOL which is now the default settings. This setting will select the alternate DOL automatically for games like Red Steel 1 because this alt. DOL is always needed to play the game. On games where the alt dol option is not needed the option "Default" = "OFF". This is just an attempt to make this option more automatic. Games like Metroid Prime (the only game right now) will have a prompt on game start where you choose between 1, 2 or 3 on this option because this game always requires either of these.
*Small source cleanups/fixes

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.

WARNING: If you select to use IOS58 and you don't have IOS58 installed, the loader will be really really slow.

34692131a2 Alright guys, after 3-4 Month of cleaning up the source, it's finally here:
USB Loader GX v2.0

A few cosmetic changes along on this rev:
*Removed unused resources
*Fix a compile warning
*Fixed crash on formatting drive to WBFS
*A few source/function movement from one file to another 
*Renamed global game settings to "Loader Settings"
2011-01-09 10:45:29 +00:00

f9b64b2241 *Moved every allocation of libntfs now to MEM2 (in mem1 it gets overwritten and so the games didn't work in last rev)
Forwarder change:
*Ignore MBR partition type and read partition type from boot record sector
(Channel will follow later)

8943592d0e *Fixed several theme images being not loaded. Made all recourses from SVN now themable (sounds/fonts/images). They only have to be in the same folder as the theme images.
*Ignore sector size of wbfs partitions in MBR (some lazy Partition Manager don't change it). Reading it from the partition header now.
*Several small bug fixes and cleanups
*Fixed "Bannersound + BG Music after it" mode
*Updated language files
2011-01-08 12:35:41 +00:00
dimok321
4f7ccef2ec *Changes running games from WBFS. It is now done through fragment lists like on ntfs/fat/ext. This enables support for multiple wbfs partitions even with waninkokos cios which normally doesn't support that. This is not supported by Waninokos IOS < R18. It continues to only support one partition!
*Added initialized too all the cheat variables (that was bad...i wonder how it didn't go wrong)
*Corrected several theme texts (x, y position mistype)
*Added "Default" button to theme downloader to reset the theme
*Fixed bug in loading language file with fresh configs
*Fixed display of theme path in custom path options
*Fixed rockout reset after leaving the GameWindowPrompt

*changed fat/ntfs/ext installer to use the header title as foldername instead of wiitdb title (this is the way it is in the wbfs managers)
*Fixed language changing for wiitdb titles / coverdownload even without available .lang file which is loaded
*Added reload of game titles on language change
*Added check for valid config files. If config file is not valid it will not be used. Current valid configs are R1031 to all. (You configs will be reseted with this. If you want to save them, move them and merge them afterwards manually.)
*Fixed possible crash on mounting
*Changed default settings for device free space display to off, because fat32 partitions are very slow on that. Added a warning when on FAT partition and trying to enable this option.
*Updated langauge files
2011-01-06 18:59:45 +00:00
dimok321
43a43473d2 *Moved back font cache to mem1. It seem that an IOS reload is overwriting a part of memory in mem2 which causes a lot more corruption of course. (Glad nothing else is in mem2 at an IOS reload)
*Corrected/Synchronized some text parts/languages (thx Cyan)
*Fixed swapped text on cover download 
*Removed custom wiitdb link creation (not needed anymore since the full file is now used)

*Corrected Screensaver appearance on startup after 30sec of unconnected WiiMote
*Complete rewrite of theme downloader. (Downloading themes is not working currently because Deak Phreak changed something on wii.spiffy360.com. He said it's going to be changed back soon)
*Added possibility to load theme images from a folder with the same name as the .them file. The "Image-Folder: Example\n" from the .them file is prioritized.
*Updated some language files. (Translators please redownload the files from SVN. Many files had a lot of errors in them)
2011-01-02 09:23:44 +00:00
dimok321
0942bb22c5 *Fixed a few typos in theme text
*Added ignore of partition type and detect WBFS/FAT/NTFS partitions from their boot record sector (damn lazy partition managers which are not always editing the MBR)

*Added Cyan to the credits
2010-12-31 16:18:48 +00:00

6022ad060d *Added ThreadedTask instance class for easy one time run operations on another thread
*Added Free Space show option to the settings (can be enabled even on FAT partitions)
*Moved partition free space determination to a ThreadedTask because it takes up to 10 seconds on FAT. This speeds up the build up of the main game menu (on start and on change from other menu) on all partitions.
*Removed double "waiting for slow HDD" screens
*Fixed scrollbar in settings
2010-12-31 13:13:14 +00:00
dimok321
7bccfd2b17 *added loading screen
*Removed the console loading screen (no more console at all)
*Complete rework of device handle. You need to reset all your custom paths for this rev.
*Support for writing images/settings/... on any writable partition (FAT/NTFS/EXT). (Theoretically you can run the loader from NTFS only without the need of any other partition or SD if run from new forwarder channel, for example)
*Support for Primary/Logical partitions and GUID Partition Table (GPT)

Forwarder Channel in last revision was not using IOS58 (not sure about AHBPROT)
Here a corrected version (thx to Cyan):

01bef0b2c4 *Added back the trNOOP (which excluded a lot of settings languages) which i removed by mistake when adding themes
*Added option for file splitting on install. 2GB, 4GB and on ntfs/ext2/3/4 partitions no splitting at all option.
*Fixed the install dir naming patterns option for fat32/ntfs/ext2/3/4 game installs
*Changed/Fixed Home Menu exit to loader / shutdown
*Added reload of game list on SD button click
*Fixed language file loading on startup
*Changed browse for theme path to file browser instead of OnScreenKeyboard

Several settings were changed in this revision. It is recommended to reset the configs before using this rev.


Forwarder Channel Update:
*Use of IOS58 and AHBPROT
*Complete change of forwarder. Using same as on WiiXplorer now.
*Looking for dol in every primary fat/ntfs partition in the known paths (/apps/usbloader_gx/ and /apps/usbloadergx/). (Booting loader from ntfs will be usefull once images and settings can also be stored on ntfs.)

*Fixed Font loading. The font.ttf is loaded from the path with .thems if it exists there.
When a Theme is loaded and a font.ttf file exists in the defined "Image-Folder:" than this font.ttf will override all others. This ensures support for themes with special fonts.
