*Added hide of password when entering unlock password. (Issue 1847)
*Added Priiloader override on returning to Wii System Menu
*Fixed issue with filebrowser not jumping back to first directory entry on directory change.
*Added check for d2x IOS for Nand Emu again (now it's valid)
*Added different hooktype and wiird debugger (see "Loader Settings") (thanks GeckoOS for the sources)
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)
*reload back to entry ios when starting homebrew instead of starting it in cIOS
*removed limit of .csv and .txt gamelist creation
*fixed META.XML format
*Added use of the internal Wii System Menu font (removed old one) (thx to giantpune and r-win)
*Changed default Font Scale to 0.8 to fit with the new font. If you don't reset configs it's recommended to change it manually in the settings to 0.8.
*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)
*made showing categories on game details screen limited by the space available
*removed alt dol prompt on "default" setting for d2x users
*Added a Block SD Reload option
*added saving of game browser position (on all modes)
*several cleanups and small fixes
*added a "Block Category Menu" setting
*fixed bug with parental block and game settings (thanks NJ7 for finding it)
*fixed "All" not being translated in category menu
*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
*fixed crashes on category add/delete/rename
*changed icon of category rename and mapped triggers +/-/1 to the buttons
*fixed green bar flash on game start
*fixed freeze in STATE_DISABLED when leaving->entering->saving game settings
*separated a few settings from the GUI setting and created a "Feature" settings menu
*Updated language files
*Added Wiinnertag support.
NOTE:
When you enable the Wiinnertag in the settings a prompt will come up if the Wiinnertag.xml does not exists in the setup path for it. This prompt will ask you if you want an example file created by the loader which you can adjust to your account (I suggest you create one on first use). Multiple/Other tag sites can be setup in the xml file and loader will execute them all one after another. Also Wiinnertag requires a network connection established to be working. When you enable this feature and auto network init is disabled you will be prompted to enable it.
*Fix homebrew browser indicator counter (thx dj_skual)
*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)
*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.
*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
*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 ;).
*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
*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
*WiiMote desync problem fixed
*Removed "free space warning prompt" on fat32 partitions now
*Changed default free space option to ON
*Remove id button on other layouts than list view
*Moved carousel arrow position to theme file
*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.
*Fixed reseting of Theme/Fonts when pressing the SD Card button. It is now reloading it instead.
*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
*Added limit to page indicators to 5 and rotate them
*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
*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)
*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
*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
*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.)
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.
*Added proper deinitialize of usb before starting game / exiting app. This is supposed to fix Blackops multiplayer mode (Did not test it. I don't have that game.)
*Added Wii message board update (Playlog) (thanks to dkosmari for a starting point). This feature can be enabled/disabled in the global settings. Default is ON.
*Removed unused sources.
*Added sources of the custom libs to the branches
*Fixed crash when switching from list layout to grid/carousel layout
*Removed 1:1 copy option because its meaningless and almost the same as installing all partitions
*Fixed install partition selection. This option needs a reset. Go to settings and reselect your option for this.
*Fixed schinese and tchinese language modes (filename bugs. has to be schinese.lang and tchinese.lang like on SVN)
*Fixed bug in sound buffer circle
*Fixed incorrect behaviour of x-flip when selecting system like (thx Cyan for the patch)
*Accept ios revision 65535 for Waninkokos IOSes (thx to PPSainity for pointing it out)
*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 bug mounting a wbfs partition which was formatted from an ext partition
*Rewrote the parental control feature. Removed loading pin or settings from the Wii Settings. Parental control is now completely managed in the loader from the settings selected and the password set.
*Saving password in config file is now encrypted
*Added loop to wait for usb when reloading the cIOS before game start
The parental control feature is filtering games like following when usb loader is locked:
level 0 (everyone 0+) > shows only games with lvl 0
level 1 (childs 7+) > shows games with lvl 0, 1
level 2 (teens 12+) > shows games with lvl 0, 1, 2
level 3 (mature 16+) > shows games with lvl 0, 1, 2, 3
level 4 (adults only 18+) > shows all games (lvl 0, 1, 2, 3, 4)
level 4 is default when creating new configs
*added a temporary workaround for selecting favorites when no favorites were setup for grid and carousel layout because of some serious problem in there which i have to look for later.
*Reworked complete cover/discart download function (seems a lot faster to me now)
*Fixed problem with switching games in game prompt and then going to the game settings. Was always the first selected games settings.
*Fixed crash when clicking the DVD icon
*Fixed save of lock/unlock state in parental control
*Fixed install menu messup (not return to right menus)
*Removed unnecessary save of settings on every mode switch
*Several cleanups and fixes
*Removed mountMethod 3
*Added better wait loop for HDD spin up
*Changed almost all default config paths which are set when no config exists to be set to where the actual config file is saved (either /apps/usbloader_gx/ or /config/)
*Changed to startup and load a cios right away before loading settings. You need to have at least one non stub cios 249, 222 or 250 to start the loader now
*Fixed 30 secs timer on HDD spin wait
*Updated libfat to new libogc version
*Fixed loading languages
*Fixed wiitdb download
*Changed sorting/favorite stuff. You can now have favorite mode and abc/playcount/ranking sorts as well
*Change to not allow FAT32/NTFS partitions with Waninkokos cIOS Rev < 18
*Fixed settings path to default to the boot device
*Set default cIOS to 222 now if no config exists.
*Removed support for Hermes v2 and v3 (only v4+ is supported now)
*Fixed game settings saving
*Maybe more i don't remember
*Moved all related global settings to a settings class. one for themes and individual games will follow. Probably broke some settings or theme loading, we can deal with that later and fix when someone discovers bugs.
