*Fix We Dare anti piracy protection (thx oggzee)
*Fix Wip patching
*IOS reload block working with d2x v6 beta1+ with all filesystems
*Changed CheckBox Cross to squareroot sign
*Added auto detection of the usb port on start with Hermes cIOS (allowing startup without waiting 20s for USB port 1) (was build in in rodries ehcmodule, thx!)
*With new d2x v6 beta1+ sector sizes other than 512 bytes per sector should be supported on ext/ntfs (maybe fat too) (NOT TESTED, need feedback)
Changelog for R1076:
*Fixed case sensitivity issue on game id compare
*Convert all game ids to upper case when reading from files/folders
*Reverted ntfs ignore case sensitivity setting
*Fixed wiimote2.png not being shown on game info
*Fixed titles being reloaded to game titles when setting titles from wiitdb to off
*Recut the credits music for better loop timing (thanks to Black.Pearl for doing that)
*update of ehcmodules for Hermes IOS supporting now more drives (thanks rodries again)
*added ignore case sensitivity on NTFS (hopefully it works as good as it sounds)
*fixed homebrew receiving in homebrew launcher via network
*changed video switching code to the one from Wiiflow
*allow ',' as floating point '.'
*Fix of reloading titles after wiitdb update
*reset all other button clicks on carousel when two or more buttons are clicked at once
*a few code optimizations
*fixed compile bug on OSX (Issue 1844 and Issue 1132)
*language files updated
*Added a font scale factor to the settings. This font scale resizes the overall font sizes. Only full integer font sizes are supported. The font scale factor is multiplied to the font size of a text and the result is rounded and used as the font size. It's a good quick fix for too big fonts.
*Fixed GAMEID_GAMETITLE folder game layout
*Fixed cutoff of box cover when it is too near and increased zoom range of the box cover. Reworked the move/zoom of the cover.
*Change wiimote icon when grabbing and dragging the box cover to grab icon
*Fixed bug in homebrew browser (crash)
*Changed a few default GX view configurations
*Use proper size of wiimote pointer image instead of hard coded values
*Reworked scroll/B hold movement stuff from the game list layout
*Removed buildtype.sh and added the define directly in makefile. No need to make an extra header for that.
*Changed makefile a to allow different IOS build modes. The build IOS is used at the start of the loader to load the settings under. If the build IOS is the same as the settings boot IOS the startup is a lot faster since no IOS reload is required.
To build yourself a special IOS build version type:"make IOS=XXX" where XXX is the number of the IOS (CSettings.cp has to be recompiled for that at least). If nothing is defined IOS222 is taken. There will now be always two versions supplied (IOS222 and IOS249 version). If another build is required build it yourself. You can see the revisions until now as the "IOS249 build version" since they behaved like that.
*Use of DirList class for homebrew listing instead of using it's own custom version of it
*Reverted back to libntfs version 2010-10-2 because the new version of NTFS-3G is not writing files correct on some drives causing the files it writes to be corrupted.
*Changed title/channel browser to use WiiTDB for displaying title names if no name is found in WiiTDB the old method is used
*Updated some language files
*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
*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
*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
*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!
*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.
*Reworked the cover downloader completely. Now has an overall missing files count and progress. Also missing files not found on the server can be dumped to a csv file
*Added possibility to grad 3D Boxes and move them around in the zoomable mode
*Changed default setting for video mode back to disc default
*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.
*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.
*Created a checkbox class with them
*Changed the prompt window to a class
*Changed cover download to a checkbox selection of what you want to download. Changed discart download option to only switch between what is prioritized (original/customs)
*Fixed a little alignment issue of the progressbar
*Reverted the change for check disc in drive. Some drives couldn't handle it in IOS58 mode :\.
*Changed playcount from an 8 bit to a 32 bit counter (got 8bit by mistake) which limited it to 255
*a few little optimisations
*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
*Resolve for Issue 1766 - You can now delete everything belonging to a game on deleting the game (covers/cheats/text codes...)
*Added dotted limit to the window prompt title text
*Changed to update disc drive status only 1 time per second in the main menu (instead of every ~100ns)
*Removed global "locked games" for per game lock option which is not really useful anyway since you have to save in the game the lock status
*Removed a few unused setting variables
*Updated some language files
*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.
*Changed cover download logic on fail of cover download (that's what lustar wanted :P)
*Added "OTHER" directory search on wiitdb for covers/discarts with custom gameids
*Language files update for v2.0 and current revision

*Removed unused resources
*Fix a compile warning
*Fixed crash on formatting drive to WBFS
*A few source/function movement from one file to another

*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)
*Fixed cheat menu to not go over the board of cheat amount.
*Added possibility to make screenshots everywhere in running gui mode (hold Nunchuck Z and press C)
*Fixed bug with nunchuck Z button moving one option up in gamelist/options
*Added Cyan to the credits
*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):
http://www.mediafire.com/?a9y3ywqcm4v3lz3
*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

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.)
Here is a download link for the channel:
http://www.mediafire.com/?r11bwt1occlanmk
The channel will be uploaded to the download section later when it is thoroughly tested.
*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.

*Merged the new theming style branch into trunk. Just as a reminder: ALL old themes will not work until the themers did port it to the new style!
*Removed old theme style completely
Theme example:
The example file of the theme is the Default.them file. It can be found in the SVN trunk.
Change in loading of themes:
When selecting a theme now a list of all .them files in a folder is displayed. The image folder of that theme has to be in the same folder as the .them file. The image path is defined in the head of the .them file in the line with "Image-Folder: Example\n".

*Fixed crash on exit
*Fixed discart download to not download custom/originals if set so in the settings
