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.
Strategy to find the boot.dol from "USB Loader GX":
1. looking for "/config/GXGlobal.cfg" first on "SD:/" and then on "USB:/"
2.1. when cfg is found and update_path is set, then searches for "boot.dol"/"boot.elf" in "update_path"
2.2. when cfg isn't found or update_path isn't set, then looking for "boot.dol"/"boot.elf" in "apps/usbloader_gx/" first on "SD:/" and then on "USB:/"
3. if the Loader is found, then LOAD and RUN it. Otherwise exits the for-warder
Primarily searched on SD-Card. This makes easier to test new versions.
*Fixed browsers not getting darker when going into HOME Menu
*Removed MP3 Menu
*Added Patch Country Strings (thanks to WiiPower and SoftChip Team)
Note: "This is an option for import games only. If you have problems with that try this option. Mostly japanese users need that.
*some other small fixes
**Note 2: Right now the loader is having some issue with IOS Reload. If you initialized network and try to run a game and its not working its due to that bug. I am trying to find why it isnt working right now. FreetypGX is making codedumps on there sometimes (ardi look into it you missed something).
** Also there is a new libogc in our download in which there are new libfat and libogc files. If you had issues with SD they might now be fixed, so try it out.
**Big Thanks to CorneliousJD for Hosting the DOLs)**
*Reverted ardi's stuff which made codedumps on the Download (sorry ardi commit it again when its fixed)
*Added DefaultSettings Button and a DefaultGameSettings Button.
*Fixed OGG Menu to not codedump on path change and auto add '/' if not entered like on paths
*Some small fixes
- DOTTED: cuts the text and appends "..."
- SCROLL: scrolls the text
* added dotted/scrolled text for gamebrowser, gamepromt and so on (more will come later)
* remove CFG.maxcharacters and THEME.maxcharacters (no more needed)
*Seperated the functionality of show favorites and sorting (so you can show only favorites and sort however you want).
*Fixed some bugs with sorting.
**Known Bugs:
*If the loader is started with show favorites on, and it is then turned off, it code dumps (if you have less than 10 games favorited).
*If you change the favorite status of a game it resets the play count.
Please do not create issues about these, they will be fixed soon.
**Note:
*There is a new libogc package in the downloads section, you don't have to update, but it is recommended.
*Added some new Language Variables (check out Wiki)
*Added Languages to SVN
*Added titles.txt path changeable
