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.
